OBAMA’S FAILURES MOUNT

I had intentions of getting away from the subject of politics with this week’s post, but the new bad economic statistics coming out this week point to the unmistakable fact that Obama’s leadership is not only substandard, it is abysmal… abysmal at a time when the nation so desperately needs strong, positive leadership. 

Despite the fact that his economic “stimulus” cost $275,000 per job, unemployment has stayed above 9%.  He’s already spent more money in his first term of office than any other President in their full term and managed to increase the national debt by more than all previous Presidents combined.  Both new and used housing are in the dumps and foreclosures are at their highest rates in recorded history… higher than during the Great Depression. 

ObamaCare still has over 65% of Americans grumbling, with all American businesses except AARP screaming and yelling, and the costs are mounting way beyond projections while we’re just getting his "great gift" off the ground.  They say Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid are “unsustainable;” why don’t they tell the truth about ObamaCare? 

Unemployment is not a laughing matter.  With people losing everything they have worked so hard for, with families being split up because social service agencies are requiring it before they will provide services, how can our President make a sick joke about his “shovel ready projects” not being so shovel-ready?  Not only is he a piss-poor President, but he obviously has no compassion, either. 

He’s so glib; hell, let’s just raise taxes.  Well, here’s the plain and simple fact that any businessman in the country who is successful will tell you: When business volume goes down and profits suffer, you do not raise prices or you will lose more volume.  You lower prices and get a tight rein on costs.  Theoretically, and it has been proven true over and over again… lower prices means more volume and more volume overcomes the decreased prices.  Meathead thinks that if he raises taxes to $25,000 per year per American, he’s going to make the government a ton of money; he doesn’t understand that Bill Gates and Donald Trump will kick in a total of $50,000 and the rest of the country will be bankrupt. 

Ask any American and they will tell you that government is sticking its big, fat nose into too many places where it does not belong.  Obama has been growing the size of our already obnoxious government by leaps and bounds.  It is virtually impossible to create a situation where everyone works for the government unless the government is the all-encompassing socialistic slave master.  What we should be doing here is slashing the number of government employees and reducing the size of government, consolidating departments as we go along.  We really need a mean and slim machine running our country right now. 

Just ask yourself, given the endless parade of continuous bad news, where we will be in 18 months, January of 2013 when Obama expects to again take his oath of office.  Finally, now IS the time for change.  We need to change Obama and all of his cronies out of office in 2012.  And, we need to change ourselves into being more alert to what is going on in the smoke-filled back rooms of Washington. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
