"The recession and health care weren't squeaky clean with BUSH in control of it all.Our country went into it's current state under his power,so I will disagree that he will be rewarded of anything.Obama promised change,obviously his concept of it was what majority of America wanted since he won.No one has ever been so involved in Politics since the election consisting of Obama and MCcain.Majority rules out in the democracy of America.You hate Obama,but when your future is in his hands then it will most likely not turn out in your favor if you continue to discourage your president.Get involved like everyone else who worries about the future,but unlike you is trying to SPEAK OUT and listen in return,as that is only fair and beneficial too.
I believe Obama is planning and trying to avoid a wrong move that will have us tumbling down into another depression and instead he is more concerned about the result in the end instead of the happening before it all ends.
I agree that the media is quite bothersome,they all have different information that does conflict with others.It hurts the truth and have people believing what they want,while it is good to have a sense of independence.I do not believe independence is always a factor in what is important or promising.Independence has lead to wars for the good and bad..."
Someday I'm going to write a book about everything going on our country, but for right now, I'm just going to put in my two cents.
Our country did not go into it's current state under Bush's power,EVERYONE ASSUMES EVERYTHING IS BUSH'S FAULT BECAUSE HE WAS "PRESIDENT", get your facts straight, Here is where you are wrong: George Bush had been in office for 8 years.. The first 6 the economy was fine..
Over a year ago: "Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high", regular gasoline sold for a little over 2 dollars a gallon, the unemployment rate was 4.5%, the DOW hit a record high--14,000 +, American's were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacationing overseas, liivvvinnn large, BUT WAIT!..... Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! ;D ;D !!!!!!!!!!
... SO, in 2006 they voted for the Democratic Congress. The president has no control over the following issues.. ONLY the Congress:
Consumer confidence has plummeted, gasoline continues to go up and is climbing!, unemployment rate has INCREASED to 9.7%since Obama's brilliant "stimulus plan", Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION dollars (and still dropping), THE DOW is probing another low... $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! :D :D
Yes, America voted for 'CHANGE!' and.. heEey, we sure got it. What has the congress done in the last two years? Clearly, nothing. Now, President Barrack Obama claims he is REALLY going to give us change along with a Democratic congress..... How much more 'change!' do you think we can stand..?
And speaking of healthcare... our biggest/most recent issue... I just loooovee Obama's new health care reform. Love it...
What's really in Obama's health care reform bill? Almost no one knows, and here's why: It's 1,017 pages long and written in an alien form of bureaucratic English that can barely be decoded by earthlings. The Decomcratic Congress is only trying to vote in as much things as they can before we get to relect our congress in a year. Did you read the bill, Obama? No. "I'm informed" yes, but did you read it? If you're new healthcare reform is really that great, then why aren't you and the democractic congress being put under it like the rest of America? Obama has ignored that question tiiime and tiimeee again... it's absolutely pathetic.
No one ever reads anything that is just rows and rows of paragraphs... so instead of wasting my time, maybe I'll attract more attention by putting my reasoning in short bullets.
The point of Obama's health care plan is to have the government control our healthcare. Having the government control anything, is scary. He wants everyone to be provided with health care... the problem is, some people, even the people who have the money to afford it, just don't WANT it. Another precentage of those people are illegal immigrants. Yes there are flaws in our healthcare today, but Obama's plan is not fixing it. It's like having a leak in the roof, and instead of fixing it, building another room, instead of fixing the initial problem.
I could write all day, but here are the biggest problems with the reform:
-This health care reform will raise taxes, estimated at ONE TRILLION dollars
-The Senate bill is estimated at 1.6 trillion (by the Congressional budget office).
-Now Obama is talking about preventative care but that costs exceed the savings.
-It's unfair to raise taxes for this because right now only 50% of the United States pay taxes. Half of our country lives off the other half.
-Example: more people die of breast cancer and prostate cancer in socialized countries because they can't get the treatment they need. Apparently, we want to be more like those countries...
-If you watch the news, or the anything like the hannity show, you would have seen that other countries have spoken out to us, telling us NOT to get socialized healthcare because it DOESN'T work. Alarming, isn't it?
Not to mention: Anyone could go to the hospital right now, and they would not be denied or turned away. However, with this new healthcare plan, going to the doctors' is going to be like going to a car registry. Illegal immigrants all in line before you, a tax paying American citizen who is being robbed of their rights...
"You hate Obama,but when your future is in his hands then it will most likely not turn out in your favor if you continue to discourage your president". Sometimes I don't even know what to say back to things like that because you are just so .. off, so ignorant, and so incredibley misinformed. HOW CAN I STAND BEHIND HIM WITH THE THINGS HE IS DOING? Did you stand behind Bush? Apparently not. Don't demand the same from me.
Move to Russia, if you think like Obama, and believe in all of his crazy plans, like socialized healthcare. Countries like that are so great...
orrrr if you feel like staying here, then do America a favor and put a bullet in your head.
p.s. It's "the blacks" that have never been so involved in politics. Not America.
I wrote a blog in October and I think my predictions were just about spot on... ""We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare magnitude"... His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have NO IDEA of what he stands for except platitudes of 'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'. "The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Both his manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions. On the other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler, too, inspired millions and the results were catastrophic. Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler, but for many Americans riding on the Obama Tidal Wave it is just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, but the reality of the ride is what happens when it hits shore.""
Obama's approval ratings have actually decreased greatly these past few months... just so you know... which sort of defeats you're whole "majority rules" argument. People are starting to see the light. And I wish you did too. |
