It is truly amazing and incredible how in 7 short years, we have become a nation of prosperity to a nation of beggers. In 7 short years we went from a balance budget and surplus, to a budget deficit and owing huge loans to China and others. In 7 short years, we went from a bright future of leading the world, to a dim future being dispised by the world. The attack of 911 was by a terrorist group, yet we invaded two countries to topple two governments while the terrorist remain at large and free. The world stood by us after 911, yet we squandered the opportunities and support we had worldwide.

In 7 short years, we have undone many of the most cherished values we possessed and for which many have sacrificed their lives for in the 200 plus years of our country. All it took was fear, pretexts, and incompetence to bring us where we are today. America will again soon have the opportunity to set and change the course for which direction this country will travel. We can travel the same road we are in today and not change anything, or we can plot a new course to change and undo what the last 7 short years have given us.

This is not about parties or affiliations. It is about beginning on a journey to undo the damage of the last 7 short years. It may take longer than 7 years to undo all this misery, but it always takes longer to rebuild than to destroy. Our choice is this simple...change the course, or stay the course.

Ask yourself this...can America and it's people continue to stay this course that has done so much damage and helped only a select few, or can America and it's people hope for a better future, rebuilding the American dream, with hope and fairness for all it's people and others. We can once again lead by the values, inner strength, and leadership that is America, or we can follow by the failures of hate, division, intolerence, and incompetence.

Our choice will determine the future of this nation for many, many, years to come. Choose wisely.

I believe the "people" have lost all hope...  You say "choose wisely", but choosing wisely seems to be a difficult task these days. You can't trust them. Seems now that our choice for president is becoming not "choosing the best man to lead our country", but choosing the "lesser of 2 evils", and that is horribly sad.
