Hope?

I "hope" for our future, but I fear that such hope is ill-founded. After all, almost anyone can say the right words and get enough people to believe them. With Barack assuming the Presidency today all you hear from the major media is "hope, hope, hope". To me they are just words. It's a person's actions that I critique, and when the country is in a major recession, thousands of jobs are lost, billions are spent on 'bailouts' and our new President says 'everybody has to do their part" and then spends 4x as much on his inauguration than the next closest one, I'd say that was pretty damn crass! ACTIONS not words show the true character of a man. "I did not know Bill Ayers was a terrorist, I did not know Reverend Wright was a racist pig, I did not know the governor of Illinois was selling my seat, I did not know that my pick for Treasury did not pay taxes, I did not know my choice for Commerce was being investigated by the FEDS, in fact I did not know nothing!" Nice to have a President that knows so much.
