I have sat on the sidelines as a spectator for ages watching the "game" of politics. I have tried to ignore it, I have mostly despised it, I have become engaged when I could ignore politics no longer in 2000 and then I became dumbstruck at the outright dishonesty of the right wing in America. I know how low they will stoop and how radical they are. I am surprised that they "allowed" Barack Obama to become president (IMHO) because they can and will steal elections when they want to.
Things have changed and I no longer consider politics a game. I have had a home on the market for more than one year. I have been paying the mortgage faithfully on an empty home, heating it, paying for landscaping, etc. while I also pay rent elsewhere after relocating and pay to keep my belongings in storage. I can buy another home as soon as I sell the one I have. But I can't sell not only because the market is actually bad, but, I believe, that the media's incessant negativity about the economy is keeping the economy from rebounding and it's affecting people like me. There is such a thing as consumer confidence and by finding and harping on what's wrong daily, the media is keeping consumers out of the market. Since January 20, 2009 I have heard more about unemployment, spending, deficits, recessions and the economy in general than I have heard altogether in the past eight years. They want Obama to fail so badly but it's not just Obama who's failing.
People like me are casualties of this effort to get Barack and I'm growing tired of it now because it's become personal. I wish that those who are being affect like me could band together and protest the media.
If I had my way, we would all be picketing every television station and radio station in America until they start working for the people again and stop lying and deceiving the masses.
