What my facebook friends think about Obama's victory.

It's cute how people can have so much faith in someone so inexperienced and full of rhetoric.
So, in honor of Obama's nomination, I give you the Ten Cannots William J. H. Boetcker.

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves."

Words of wisdom.

It amazes me how swayed people are by empty rhetoric about hope and change and not by policy, experience, and most of all common sense.

Common sense is a great thing. Too bad our country lacks it. More on that in another post.
