This paragraph comes straight from our new president.
Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.So, I have bolded a few things that have caught my eye. Since my last post, I have been trying to organize my thoughts into something logical and understandable. Anyways, I don't feel like any of these bolded words really mean anything to anyone in Washington. All of these are one sided words. They apply to us, but not to anyone in Washington. Here are a few examples:

1. We have had how many of Obama's nominees have tax problems? Can you say three, and one still got through!! What happened to fair play, responsibility, and truth?
2. Utah's favorite Senator Orrin Hatch, wrote my mom about his desicion to vote for Geithner as the Secratery of the Treasury. He stated that it isn't his responsibility to choose a nominee, but if the person is quailified to vote for him. Duh, if he is such a financial genius, then I guess we will cheat ourselves out of all of these debts Obama is creating.
3. Yes, lets spend our way out of debt, that is the best thing for us. How about we cut the crap and balance the budget. Think if you ran your money like the government runs its. We'd be in big trouble.
4. Lets give Utah its extra vote in the House,
and while nobody is looking give one to the District of Columbia. They aren't a state right? Ummm, NO!!!
Come on the list could go on and on. Washington is full of perpetual liars. They try and grey everything out and make it seem okay. But, I have had it!!!
First thing I'm going to do is to write "Senator" Hatch and give him a piece of my mind. Do you realize he has been in office longer than I have been alive?!? He ran on a campaign that he predecessor was in office too long, which was two 6 yr. terms. I will not vote for this guy, ever again.
Like it says in the scriptures we must clean the inner vessel before the outer. So, we must clean Orrin's clock first.
