    A little down today. Nothing seems to have changed in this country, and seems we are on the downslope again. War looming in Syria, and crime out of control in Baltimore and DC where City leaders could care less – they are letting it happen, and can barely admit there is even a problem. They refuse to come down hard on the minority of people causing the mayhem.

    The current President is a total failure, as well as the majority of R’s and D’s in both houses. If Obama uses our forces in Syria, this will rival Bush’s Iraq foray, then he can put Summers at the Fed to put his cherry on top. Literally disgusted today as the country is rudderless.

    Not looking forward to the next election between two more useless candidates. I guess we have to hit rock bottom before we see any change.
