RISE AND SHINE

GOOD MORNING, DELAWARE COUNTY.
Since Hillary Clinton will be in the area today, I'm sure she'll be checking out Rise and Shine, so good day to you as well.

By the way, according to Clinton, "Northeast Pennsylvania is the key to us winning the Keystone State."
That comment was made yesterday at a campaign stop in Scranton. Does it sound a lot like a rock frontman saying, "We love being in Easton."
Once again, all this political talk is starting to turn people off. I know several people who are very 'into' politics, but can't stand all the rhetoric being put out there by the candidates.
As one really smart pundit said yesteday, "After eight years of George Bush, the best we can do is these two (Clinton and Barak Obama) fighting with each other. How about working together to make things better? No. They'd rather fight back and forth."
Really, it does sound like a brother and sister. The constant yap, yap, yap back-and-forth is, at best, annoying. At worst, well, I won't use those kind of words here.
OK, let's reset:
n We have an out-of-control war on foreign soil;
n We have credit companies that don't care if everybody is homeless as long as the CEO can get a $million bonus;
n We have health care costs so out of whack that it's cheaper to stay sick;
n We have a public school system that only cares about reaching an artificial test score, even if it means discounting half the students;
n We have gas prices making the Amish look like the smartest group in the country;
n We have home-heating costs so high many can't afford to keep the homes they can't afford warm.
After all that, we have two presidential candidates who would rather take shots at each other than make things better.
Change?
Well, at least we have this:
