I'm Not Joe Six Pack

I'm not Joe Six Pack although at one point in life my Dad was Joe Twelve Pack. He eventually gave that up and I'm hoping that all of the politicians, particularly Sarah Palin, will give up these ridiculous stereotypes. At various points in my life I've been The Small Business Owner Guy, The Military Family Guy and Joe Jack Daniels. Right now I'd like to be Get Me Out of This Financial Hellhole Guy. Start offering solutions and just maybe people will start to listen.

I guess the real answer is that maybe there aren't really any solutions coming from Wall Street or Washington. John McCain isn't going to solve the problem in the next four weeks. He might have the opportunity to help when he goes back to the Senate but he's not going to get it done from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Stick a fork in him and send Governor Palin back to where she can see Russia from her house.

That leaves Barack Obama. He's going to win and his party's going to control both houses of Congress. So what's the plan? I didn't really hear one in last night's debate. Obama said that energy independence is his number one priority but as usual, no details forthcoming.

I've heard and read the Pickens Plan. It makes sense. It's an option. Are there other options? What's the Obama Plan? Do something bold. Do something audacious. America is willing to sacrifice and work for a specific goal and at the end of the day if we achieve energy independence - Joe Six Pack will love it. Be the next JFK. We're waiting and hoping.
