OZ

           Well after listening to Mc Cain and Obama I'm convinced that the American people think that they live in the land of OZ. I mean here you have thousands of people at this convention all hollering and cheering while their presidential hopeful is promising things that he knows is impossible to achieve,yet the cheering goes on.

           Way back when in the land of OZ, a presidential hope full promised two cars in every garage a chicken in every pot. It took a while but it did come true and now we're at the point where the two cars and the house are being foreclosed on an the chicken turned into Mac and Cheese but our presidential hopefuls keep promising the same old things like health care, education, cheep energy,prosperity and victory in the war on terror, a relatively new promise add after President Bush took control.

          Just once I would like to hear a presidential hopeful get up and say My fellow Americans, our country is in a world S!#@% and I haven't got a clue on what to do about it but I'm willing to take the job anyways. Tell the truth for once. If he(or she) does good and things get better he'll be a hero and if things get worse, if that's possible, we'll know he was telling the truth about not having a clue. At least he was honest.  

          Anyways back in the world of OZ where we have about 8 weeks to make up our minds on who will become the Great Wizard who will live in the great castle and grant our every wish and like in the land of OZ we the little people have become dependent on the Great Wizard for our every need.Unlike OZ we have yet to discover that the solution to our problems lies not in the wizard but in the people who live in OZ .
