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

Here I go again, after promising myself that a 68 year old grandmother needs to stay out of the political mix.  Logic told me that the man upstairs is in control and he will in his time resolve these problems that are devouring our beautiful country.  So, I said "Annie" just walk away from the blogging, quit listening to ever little piece of bad news that showers us daily and get a life.  But, today I find myself sitting down once more at the ole "puter" and letting it all hang out!

Grandparents need to unite and do the right things for our children and their children; it's important we quit gasping, finger pointing and start doing something constructive for our USA.  We, the baby boomers helped create this fiasco and now is the time to help the younger generations fix this mess.

Do we really know how much of the economic stimulus money has been spent, where our monies have been appropriated and why we're digging a deeper financial hole by the day.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we're headed in the wrong direction and that the present leaders aren't capable and certainly are poor decision makers.  This means all of our government starting with the president and his gang including many Republicans, Democrats and of course it would be mindless of me if I forgot our Supreme Court. 

We know millions of our Americans are losing their jobs, homes and hope of a better future.  Government is rapidly growing and our present leaders think we're too busy to monitor them.  Unemployment keeps skyrocketing, bankruptcies are a dime a dozen, our investors are being beaten up through increased taxation, our education system stinks and is becoming prohibitive for many of your young people and the list goes on and on... 

I'm back and although only one 68 year old grandmother, I'm here for the fight with all of my fellow Americans.  It's time to quit pointing our finger, sitting on our fannies commiserating and make a stand together for our Nation, children and grandchildren.  Let's take one baby step at a time and once again live in the land of the free. 

One closing thought that has troubled me for years is the word "rights."  It has been chewed up, spit out and completely distorted and we in our robotic fashion have allowed the norm to be disfigured.  Not everyone has a "right" to change something just because they have fart crossways.  The Supreme Court needs to quit listening to the peddlers and meddlers, because they certainly are in need of a major overhaul and hat adjustment.  As Always, Annie
