The Senior Perspective
My grandmother is very comfortable with the new administration and the current state of affairs in the United States.
She is not concerned about the increasing national debt, or the recession, or the bailouts. She lived through the depression, the New Deal, and lost a son in World War II. So she's no stranger to sacrifice or hard work.
That is what is on the horizon for America today...sacrifice and hard work. I can't say I am impressed with our president being the "Salesman-in-Chief." I think what he is doing is stuffing two of every species of fruit and vegetable on God's green earth into the congressional blender - strawberries, onions, peaches, spinach, broccoli, apples, asparagus, onions, kiwi, oranges, potatoes, grapes, beets, apricots, cranberries, peas, beans, onions, and celery. This economic concoction is reputed to be just the tonic America needs. The cost of all these fruits and vegetables is very high, but one has to keep one's priorities straight.
Of course the tonic will taste bad, and it won't really look very appetizing. But it's the prescription, the medicine, we must take. And if you saw President Obama recently on the Tonight Show, you know that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Our Salesman-in-Chief is an excellent entertainer. He's a hit at townhall meetings, cleverly populated with outspoken victims. Now that he's done Leno, can The View be far behind?
Well the "recovery cocktail" is oozing its way into every paycheck and wallet across America. But that doesn't bother my grandmother.
She passed away in 1983.
My grandchildren, on the other hand....

Sacrifice and hard work are unfortunately hard concepts for many to accept nowadays. If you want to make it through this crisis, you gotta be smart and work hard where it matters without relying on the president or anyone else to do it for you.
