Obama has inspired me to work harder than ever before.
I'm enjoying more work and offering more services. I've also started a side "fluff" business to increase family entertainment in my community. Under Bush I was demoralized but now I feel invigorated and hopeful.

It may be corny but it feels like now that I have a leader I respect and like, it gives me the boost to really reach for the sky.

Anyone else notice a change in their attitude toward their work, career, or business?

1. Still working/producing the same. I wouldn't let any Prez affect that.

3. I noticed I am a citizen being ripped off by the Government/Big Bank Complex and am
checking out the non-violent revolution possibilities to head off Bush's third term initiatives. Wow that guy has a long reach-must have been smarter than everyone thought.

Here's to the Revolution and the future enlightenment of the Follow-the-Leader Lackeys!


PS My inspiration comes from the Constitution and my think-for-themselves brother and sister citizens.

4. Ive never really been inspired by political figures
I find people like Siddhartha and Che Guevara (somewhat of a political figure sort of) inspiring. Im a bit cynical of pure political figures though. I mean, hell, they practice being inspiring for a living.

5. After he was elected
I wanted to do something. We picked up trash on our highway frontage for 1 mile.3 Saturdays.
Picked up 52 bags.
Amazing the variety of trash, beer bottles, plastic bottles, white walmart bags, styro-foam food trays,
milk jugs and disgustingly, urine bottles and spit bottles.

Alot of the trash was trapped in green briers along the barbed wire fences. We shed a little blood.

Felt really good when it was over.

6. I'm demoralized
Our family home will be sold by the bank in a matter of weeks. The landlady has been taking rent payments but not applying them to the mortgage. The home is in foreclosure. It's a disaster for us.

7. I am without a job and health care as is the family and I
do not see any good prospects.
