“My Fellow Americans” statement is used by many Presidents in their speeches to the Americans in various of topics that we hear or face in the daily basis.  President Bush have heard us loud and clear that we wanted the payback from the 9/11 attack and we went to Afghan to seek and capture Obama bin Laden which we are failing miserably so President Bush have decided to invade Iraq since he claimed that Iraq was supporting Al-Qadea organization as well as they were developing the Weapons of Mass Destructions where there was no evidence of WMDs to be found in anywhere in Iraq.  Almost 4 years into the war, we are struggling to hold our ground at Iraq and the Americans have spoken repeatedly to retreat Iraq and bring our soldiers home however the President did not hear our cry and constantly urging us to be patient even though that the President have confessed that we are losing the war at Iraq.  So he have decided to execute the troop surge to Iraq which it is not working at all and it have angered the Americans and have spoken against the surge and the President have went ahead and executed the surge to Iraq and now we have witnessed the horrible results of the surge and Bush tells us to be patient and give it time for the surge to work and it is nearly 6 months after the surge and it is failing!  Do you think the White House is listening to the Americans when it comes to the Iraq War ? I don’t think so.  A strong leader should listen to the concerns of Americans, have gained the respect of the Americans, looks out the best interests of the Americans and protects them while he is listing the respect of Americans, being deaf to the Americans cry, and endangering the country to possible terrorist attacks (I sure hope it won’t happen.).  What do United States needs ?  We need a leader that listens to the Americans where the democracy is all about!

As the projected population will be at 60 million people living in California by the year 2050 which worries the transportion authorities because they know that the roads and highways won’t have enough capacity to handle the large number of population. We have been widening our freeways for decades and it is not yet giving any reliefs as the delays on the road have been increasing dramatically. So therefore, some of the city council people in Los Angeles are calling for a study for the proposed rail and subways. However, I am against to those proposed rail and subways since we already have the railways around the county and its not being fully utilized as the commuters are using their own personal automobiles as the primary transportion choice since the mass transportion does not take us to the places within the reasonable time frame as I have been hearing the complainments about the bus ride time can easily rack up as much as 3 hours for a mere 20 mile drive via personal automobile while it takes up nearly 40 miles by bus because the bus system does not have the effective and direct route system where you can do with a personal automobile where it will only take between 30 minutes to a hour depending on the traffic conditions.

In order to really to show the reduce in the traffic congestion is to institute the new ride-share program with the potential large employers to encourage their employees to take up the light rail from the major point to another major point (i.e Los Angeles to Santa Ana/Anaheim or Los Angeles to Riverside/Pomona) as it will remove a fairly large numbers of cars off from the traffic grid as the problem lays that many motorists drive more than 15 miles per way from home to their work site. Also, restrict the freight truck traffic flow as it is also the factor to the overly congested traffic grids and encourage the freight trucks to be driven during the off peak hours to allow the traffic infrastructure to fully utilize the commuters as the Times Magazine shows the study of the freight trucks have taken up as much as 40% of the traffic infrastructure capacity! So instead of the excessive trucking, encourage the use of the heavy rail for the freight transportion where it will lower the number of trucks on the roads by giving some kind of tax credits to the industries that are opting for the heavy rail instead of trucking as well as the large employers that institutes the improved ride-share program. That would save taxpayers from paying excessive waste of money in billions of dollars as well as floating the bonds could be prevented for those unnecessary freeway widening once you tackle the source of the problem!
