So by now I’m sure everybody has heard the good news- Hillary ‘I want to try and take over the world because I’m a woman’ Clinton finally submitted the other day, and she is NO longer in the race to be president. It is now Obama and Mccain. I guess I do feel really bad about badmouthing hillary, but seriously, she had some strange policies. I understand having Bill behind her was a strong point but come on. Will he help THAT much? He’s a good guy but he doesn’t like to make decisions, and I doubt he would really know how to fix what’s going on with our economy today. I’ve noticed that gas prices came to a halt. They even dropped a penny. Dare I say that they may be going down soon? I wish. I seriously have not been driving anywhere unless it’s necessary to try and save gas. I pretty much drive to Julie’s house to ride and check on the horses and that’s it.
I really hope Mccain doesn’t win. He’s much too old to be in office (he’s 71!!! 72 in a few months!) and all he wants is war, war, lower taxes, war. He is also against helping people out in this housing crisis. I was reading this magazine article (in glamour actually- who knew) about the mortgage crisis. There’s this lady who is an aerospace engineer, making 120,000 dollars yearly, and she’s actually facing the fact that they’re trying to take her house away. HOW does that happen?! Mccain stated that he does not believe in helping people when losing their houses is clearly their fault. He’s not blaming the economy- he’s blaming the people. How on earth is staying in war, using billions and billions more dollars, and not helping anybody in the housing crisis going to lower taxes??? The guy is nuts, honestly, and he’s only going to hurt us worse. It’s a fact that he doesn’t know much really about what’s going on with our economy and how to fix it. If people are out of homes and not spending money because they merely CAN’T, our economy cannot flourish and is going to keep going down the drain. Stupidity at it’s finest. And I’m sorry if I’m offending ANYBODY who likes Mccain, or thinks he is better than Obama (Hi char! If you even read this) but the man has contradicting points.
I DO agree with Mccain on one thing, and this is why I claim to be neither liberal or conservative. I agree with Mccain on the fact that the government should intervene less with our businesses, and let us remain purely capitalistic. Less government intervention=more money in the economy. They just mess everything up anyway. Liberals believe in the government intervening ALOT to help solve problems- whether it be in social and family life, or business. They want government in their bedroom. While I know that Obama is very liberal, I don’t feel like he will push TOO much of the government intervention issue without it being for the better. He knows what he’s doing, and I know that he won’t go overboard in having the government stick it’s dirty little nose into everything. A little is GOOD, when they actually HELP. I think he understands thats.
On another note- Julie is out of town so I’ve been checking up on the horses and riding as well. I had the best moment yesterday EVER. Julie suggested riding bareback every now and then with Fancy and just working on her headset since we think her back needs to be adjusted. So yesterday when I went to check up on them and put sunscreen on Dixie, I decided to hop on bareback. I left Dixie in the field with us just because she has sunburn and whenever I try to put the halter on her it grazes her burn… that and since everyone is gone from the house I think they’re lonely and she goes nuts when I put her in the other field. Anyway, I hopped on bareback and just sat on her while she grazed, and I had dixie next to me too. The sun was setting and I was all alone, rubbing Dixie’s ears and sitting on Fancy, and it was just PEACEFUL. So peaceful. It totally put me back to when I owned my last horse.. as I said earlier I loved riding bareback and I would always go out to ride, then stay on her back while she cooled down and grazed. It was just such a serene moment. I really do miss having my own horse. You can’t replace the bond that you get from owning your own horse by riding at a stable or someone else’s. It’s there- but deep down you know that it’s different. I plan on getting a horse again once I’m out of school (I think). I just need to settle down first and manage my money in order to do it (once I get a job in the real world).
PS!!!!!! The WWDC conference is today (for apple) and they’re supposed to be unveiling the new 3G iphone! I’m stalking it minute by minute because they’re also supposed to be releasing the new redesigned macbooks, but there’s been a rumor that they’re getting pushed off another month. I….. am a dork. and extremely excited. Anyway- just felt like sharing. Bye!
