My gosh, President Barack Obama is getting so much flak for his recovery act, from both sides of the aisle. Realistically, it is going to take a while to undo the damage the Bush administration did in its eight years.

As of this writing, there are already some positive signs of recovery. The stock market is doing better, banks are starting to react. Generally, it seems that things are moving in the right direction. People should stop panicking.

This recession is simply God’s way of saying, “OK, enough of people being selfish. Time to regroup and stop the ‘me first’ generation from controlling things around the world.”

People just need to tighten their belts and start helping others, just like we used to do back in the 1960s, and all will be fine.
