Slow it Down

I finally see President Obama's problem, he needs to slow down peoples expectations. That doesn't mean he needs to change his agenda or dumb it down or anything like that. What I'm talking about is telling the American people as much and as often as you can-that this is going to take a while. The American people are being led (with the media's help) to believe that the stimulus isn't working and that we've just wasted 787 billion dollars.
What the not-too-bright American people have to understand is that we've spent about 50 or 60 billion tops of the 787 bn. stimulus money. There is a awful lot of money left. Lots of magic can be made with that amount of money. Our problem is that we have a 24hr news cycle that just keeps asking is the recession over, is the recession over, is the recession over. Just like children.
The people have to some how, block that nonsense out. Also we need to remember the people who got us into this situation and not forget. Those same people are going to try to sell us Sarah Palin as a serious Presidential candidate. Palin just like our last President doesn't look at the details very closely, you see where that got us.

Garden Tip: Something a little cheesy but fun to do. if you have a pair of old working outside boots. Make them into planters. Just add gravel in the bottom of the boots, some soil and your favorite plant or flower, something easy like a petunia or pansies. Be sure to drill some drainage holes and you'll have yourself a cool little planter. Presto !
