I am going to be politically incorrect here and say something that is on my mind and go into that “political no, no zone”! I tried to watch the The Union address a few nights ago and President Obama really got under my skin. Somebody needs to tell him that he is already President and he needs to stop campaigning and do the job the people elected him to do. I’m so SICK of hearing him cry about President Bush. He wants Senate Republicans to work with him, yet every speech he reminds everyone that he “inherited” the deficit and he blames Republicans.
In all my years I have NEVER heard another Commander-in-Chief badmouth a former President. Ronald Regan never bashed Jimmy Carter once the campaign was over. Jimmy Carter never attacked Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford once he was elected. I hear Obama TALK about how he wants to unite the country, yet his ACTIONS will never allow the two to willingly work together. Obama thinks that Republicans are voting against him because they are Republicans. Has it ever occurred to Obama that they are against him because they vote for the good of the country? The Democrats have enough power in the Senate to pass anything they want if he could get the support of his own party, but he fails to get 100% support from his own party.
Mr. Obama is a great campaigner. Too bad campaign season is over and he now has to try and do something he has yet to do in public service. Serve a full term without abandoning ship and running for another office (1/2 term State Senator to 1/2 term U.S. Senator to President of the USA).
America was ignorant to vote for him in the first place. Hillary Clinton was clearly a better, more stable choice than Obama for Democrats. But he (Obama) charmed the pants off the country with his handsome smile and elegant speeches. The Hollywood (borderline communists) supported him and he was off to the races.
He is a disaster, he has yet to produce a birth certificate showing he is a born US Citizen, he has lied to the American people over and over. What about the C-Span comments. He said over and over in his campaign that “the debate on healthcare was going to be carried on C-Span network so America could see first hand who was in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies.” Woooooops! Once he was elected, I guess his party told him that it was the Democrats that were to blame and suddenly, he balks at C-Span. Guess America did not need to know?
As far as the economy. President Bush, John McCain and other ranking Republicans warned a Democrat run Senate in 2005 that Fannie and Freddie where out of control (easy to find video on youtube). I remember Barney Frank SCOLDING those Republicans about trying to instill fear into America and that there was nothing wrong with the system. Also remember, it was Bill Clinton who pushed legislation into law making it EASY to get a loan. He wanted everyone to lighten the standard so all Americans could have a piece of the American dream.
President Bush was at the wrong place at the wrong time as all of those blunders that hit did so on his watch. I guess Obama is going to blame 911 on Bush as well.
The fact that Obama blames Bush non-stop shows that he does not really comprehend what actually happened. He believes his own lies. America is headed in the wrong direction. I see Bush (W and the father) making public service commercials on TV (give money for victims of Hati, Catarina etc.) with former President Clinton. THAT to me is how it should be. Obama gives more respect to foreign leaders that his own past commanders. He is acting very UN-American as far as I’m concerned.
I hope our President sees his wrong path and gets America going in the right direction. Building this high speed rail from Tampa to Orlando is a total WASTE of taxpayers money. He racked up more of a deficit in one year than Bush did in eight years with two wars on the books. I hope he starts to work for the people who elected him and Mr. Obama moves more to the center, as that is the wish of America. Nobody, even those who voted for him expected him to be this liberal.
He certainly loves that plane though. CLEARLY his favorite “perk” of the job. Wake up America! If we all complain, we can get our President and our country back on track!
