Where's Alice?

When last I wrote, I referred to Hillary as Alice. I was wrong; I feel like Alice because this presidential campaign is "Wonderland." No one is showing distinctive leadership potential for this country (and world) in crisis. The economy has slumped to the lows of the 1970s (w/o those promising interest rates). We have a health care crisis. High unemployment rates. Natural disasters. American education in crisis. The government bailing out AIG. Who, might I add, is bailing us out or standing up for us? The rhetoric is appalling. It's the longest campaign in my voting history.

It's every man (excuse me, Miss Alaska) for himself in this campaign. Disjunctive. Disjointed.

As one economist said today, "Do you want economic change to come from the bottom to the top or the top to the bottom?" Enough w/ trickle-down; let's try to hit the middle. Whatever that means.

Making a blog is the great experience for me! Thanks for your creative idea! And I think that I still need more background knowledge about American Politic and vote system.
