Government, recession, pains

well, I'm back again . . . The elections are over, we have an articulate President. Sometimes I get irked with all the fuss about his skin tone, heritage, and all of the other baggage that he is suppose to be carrying. Crap. He's a smooth politician, may be able to get congress to act like they are spending billions on the citizens - hah. The Dem congress is going to do a lot of social stuff that he has promised. But, neither he nor anyone else can come up with a quick fix for the economic woes that have been building for 8 or so years.  On another and completely unrelated note: my ankle is getting worse - can hardly walk. I work standing a lot. Really bad . . . Tomorrow, I go to the doctor and see if there are medical stuff that can be done to get me back to at least walking normally.
