"Neil Sedaka Was Right!"

"Just tell me what I did wrong", "I'm sorry, it will never happen again", "Can I have one more chance, Sweetheart?"; "How can I make this right?"; have any of you ever heard, or used, these words or words that were similar? Remember that Neil Sedaka song, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do"; he recorded it twice. Virtually, everyone has had break-ups during their lives; be they romantic, or friendships, break-ups are painful to all involved. Sometimes we make that last ditch attempt to salvage what we had; unfortunately, this is seldom successful. Restored relationships are usually strained and fragile; both parties are overly sensitive and afraid to offend each other. The closeness that was once shared is now gone. America has been the "best friend", "father figure", "protector" and "provider" to the world for a very long time. In times of disaster, the first call that is made is usually to the United States of America. America always responds with as much help as desired by the distressed people or nation. Floods, famine, earthquakes; all have been responded to by America. We have been the world's "good guy" since WWI. America is now in a very difficult position; we can no longer sustain the rest of the world; we are going broke due to over spending and poor leadership. When polled, the American people have made foreign aid the first thing they want in our budget to be cut. It seems Barack Obama's dream for America to become like the rest of the world is coming to fruition. We are just as screwed up as all of the other countries that have too many entitlements and not enough taxpayers! America has allowed herself to be manipulated by economic and ecological fringe groups which have done their level best to destroy the fabric of America. Our welfare rolls are swollen, and we get the added burden of illegal aliens on our economic system. Slow, almost non-existent, job growth is a plague across America, and a policy of taxing investment has only worsened the situation. An administration that has a policy of "class warfare" and "racial division" has only added to our distress. America needs to help herself first NOW! I'm sorry to say this to the rest of the world but; "The Gravy Train isn't running anymore!" The American system cannot sustain everybody else; we have too many of our own problems right here at home. America is now "one of the pack" in the world; I hope Mr. Obama is proud of his accomplishment; we are losing our uniqueness as a nation thanks to poor leadership and spurious ideology. So, to all of our friends in Europe, Asia, the Middle-East, and everywhere else that has called on America in the past, I'm afraid America should be taking her "phone off the hook" for incoming calls. Our well is drying out, and we need to "drill" for more "fiscal water". Sorry my friend, but "BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO!!"
