Did President Obama win the election on qualifications, on character, foreign policy, political expertise or did he just flat buy the Presidential position. For whatever reasons, Obama is our President and we’re at the mercy of him and his Democratic team.
Our money for bailouts alone is astronomical and our economy is regressing literally by the hour. The idle promises made during his presidential campaign were just that, “idle promises.” The stimulus plan isn’t working and yet the Democrats keep whispering something about a second stimulus plan.
Obama steps forward now and says he’s going to own the economic problems. Well pardon me, but we thought he did own them the day he was sworn in… Blaming the Bush administration is a cop out and isn’t going to hold water anymore. We’re tired of broken promises and the “what may happen” somewhere down in the land of Nod; we want food on our table, jobs and homes for our children.
Our biggest concerns at this time: (1) Where is the stimulus money going, (2) Why are millions of people losing their jobs, (3) Didn’t President Obama say that this was our money and we’d know where every dime was going?
First things first Obama, please clean up the Whitehouse and remove all of the excess political baggage and crap. Nancy, Dodd and Reid never have been team players – so remove them one by one. Ruthlessly downsize our government, remove redundant programs and get rid of the pork barrel and all excess baggage.
Big government isn’t the answer for the majority of us aren’t into socialism. Give the people their voice back. Restore our Nation to its once strong foundation by creating jobs, insisting that those who are able to work start paying taxes.
Quit playing God and quit trying to distribute our monies. Americans are compassionate and the first to step forward and help those who are really in need. Get the 30% who are sitting on their fannies doing nothing off their seat and on their feet; let them start contributing to our Nation. A small percentage of Americans are truly unable to work - we want to care for them because we’re our “brothers' keeper.”
Most of all quit playing “Politics” and do what is right for America! No more bailouts, as you can see the lending institutions that you’ve helped are leeches and had no intention of helping homeowner and citizens of the US.
Stand toe to toe with those who are blatantly misusing our monies, the Pelosi’s, the Reids, the Dodds and your backyard buddies. Become the man God wanted you to be and restore our country. No more grants to your idle friends and no more deals with the bad guys.
President Obama you took an oath, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." At this time, you have the ability but not the desire to fulfill this oath.
There are only two choices left; (1) Remove yourself from the political vices that have embraced you or, (2) Blatantly continue on the destructive course that you’ve chosen for our Nation and you will soon be relegated to the ancient history shelf as the worst Presidential leader of all times.
In closing, Mr. President go back and revisit Thomas Jefferson and embrace every word that he said.
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson
"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Thomas Jefferson
As Always, Annie
