PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA RE-ELECTED TO SERVE A SECOND FOUR YEAR TERM : WONDER WHAT THE HUNGARIAN-AMERICAN VOTE WAS

I wish there were some way to find out how most Hungarian-Americans voted.  My suspicion is that most are Democrats and voted for President Barack Obama. 

Now with our economy so weak, and so many Americans suffering from great loss, it's difficult for me to believe we will experience prosperity any time soon.  The Hungarian- Americans seem to be a hard working people and a people that know how to economize, make sacrifices, and do without, while also being very giving.
Still, there is only so much a person or a family can take.

So it is my greatest hope that somehow we will be able to pull up out of this tail-spin, and I don't know that our President can do that.  Obviously the American people were voting for another four years of trying.  The election was not a landslide victory.  We must be aware that almost half of all Americans want a more conservative way of life.

MARCH 18 is 1848 HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION DAY

Many Hungarian-American organizations celebrate this day and so do many Hungarians. About the same time there were revolutions, intended to change the social order, in other European countries. I looked at a lot of web sites featuring information on the revolution iin Hungary, but I'm linking to a TIME LINE because I think I'm more impressed with how this progressed and why... First, and this may be something YOU can relate to, was economic recession...

First France,

Then Hungary,

Then the Rhineland,

Then Vienna,

Then Milan,

Then Venice...

(Let's remember that our current notions of a country do not apply to the days when what became countries were independent, shall we say "nation states?"
