Question: Are we a fickle nation (Americans)!?
Fickle, fickle nation
we flow with each new tide
first Obama walks on water
then he sinks and drowns
but talking heads proclaim him King
to walk on water again
McCain pronounced
a man of courage
but when he suspends campaign
to hill he goes, the welcome cold
and leaves with tail between legs
Palin heralded a breath of fresh air
then disdained as beauty queen
will Biden treat her with kid gloves
or ruin debate with gaffs
Bush encourages bail out bill
Pelosi speaks before vote
fingers pointed, it fails
better solution soon takes flight
do you feel rescued now!?
Fickle, fickle nation are we
who have forgotten how
to take a stance, stand strong
fickle media, fickle supporters
we blow with the wind
in ignorance and bliss
blind to the winds
and their fair warning
beware
they are a changing!.

Will we go down with the storm!?

Yes, we are fickle -but we have the right to be fickle in such matters!. After all, we owe no allegiance to the politicians!. We only seek what is best for ourselves and those close to us!. The more we know, the better we can decide -meanwhile, there will be some disagreement and debate as to which way to proceed (which is how it should be)!. Though we may have a degree of admiration for any of those attempting to right the ship, we need not make a final stand while we still can gather more information!. In times when nobody appears to have a perfect answer, we might decide to put it to a vote for best answer!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
