President Obama, man that still sounds good doesn’t it, has only been in office 6 days as of this post, and already the conservative mouth piece, Rush Limbaugh, is talking trash. The “pill-popper” said this past week that he hopes President Obama fails because the Republican party is working with the Democratic led government to get America out of the financial mess we are currently in. I doubt that anyone in their right mind, and not in some pill fueled haze, could say that the last 8 years has been a success. The policies of the past administration has not only plunged this country into the worse DEPRESSION, EVER, but because we are the biggest consumers in the world, the rest of the global economy, is hurting as well. Anyone who says that they want “Obama to fail” is Anti-American. Where is Joseph McCarthy when you need him?
It is reported that we are spending 1 BILLION DOLLARS a day financing the invasions of both Afghanistan and Iraq. A billion dollars a day that could have gone to building and maintaining roads, bridges, and our transportatiom infrastructure, provide reserves for the upcoming Social Security deficit, upgrade our educational system, or to get people who don’t have health care, the ability to see a doctor if they get sick. But noooo. We were “led astray” by the lies and decit of weapons of Mass Destruction. And slowly our economy went down the drain.
We watched as Wall Street, the Mortgage Industry, the Banking Industry, and now the Auto Industry MILLIONAIRES, come with their “hats in their hands” asking for handouts. And they got them! This bailout was done so quickly, and with so little oversight, that executives who left these “sinking ships” were able to take millions of tax payer’s dollars with them. Gee, who didn’t see that coming? Am I to believe that no one has ever heard of a “Golden Parachute!!!!”
And now we have a President who can see the bullshit through the trees, and is trying to undo 8 years of fiscal, political, and social mismanagement. And we have a loud mouth with a microphone, saying he hopes America fails. That statement is Un-American. Since Mr. Limbaugh is fond of popping pills, maybe he needs to take a “CHILL PILL.” Now is not the time for divisiveness. We need all hands on deck. Because if this ship sinks, we will all go down together! Republican and Democrat alike!

He owes us damnit and I’m going to get what’s mine. Barack Obama has yet to be inaugurated into the office of the Presidency and he is already being bombarded with people saying that he “owes them” because of their support and they “plan on collecting.”
The special interest groups all are jockeying to be the first ones to “get theirs.” The Abortion rights people and the Catholic church are saying that even though they voted for Obama, it doesn’t mean they agree with his stand on abortion. The mayors of many cities are calling for Obama to send economic and work related aid to them. Black folks want him to “take care of us” and Hispanics want to make sure they “aren’t forgotten.” Women want prominent cabinet positions go to women. Lesbians and gays want him to stand up for our rights to marry and get equal treatment under the law. The young folks, those bright eyed and bushy tailed youngsters who for maybe the first time felt compelled to get involved in the political process, want to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Old people want to know that their retirement funds and pensions will be there when they need it. Homeowners want to save their homes. The unemployed want jobs. Business owners want to stay in business and be able to support their families. Unions want to know they still have a place in the new American economy. Other countries want to make sure that the “bomb first, ask questions later” policies of the previous administration is over. Have I left anyone out? I’m sure I have. Barack is being set up to fail.
Barack is coming into a job in a country whose economy is on the brink of a depression. Thousands of jobs are seemingly being lost every day. And it’s not just the mortgage industry that is losing jobs. DHL is planning on cutting over 9500 jobs in America. Sun Microsystems is planning on cutting 6000 jobs. Morgan Stanley is planning on cutting 10% of it’s work force. That would mean another 4400 jobs that will be lost. Yahoo announced that they will be cutting another 1500 jobs and that is in addition to the 1000 that were cut earlier this year. An economic report said there were over 127,000 jobs lost in the month of October alone. In a nation of over 305 billion people, 127,000 jobs doesn’t sound like a lot. But the job cutting has been going on for the last 15 months. And since the jobs are spread out over all industries, no one is being spared. Even Las Vegas, the city that was described as being “recession proof” announced today that profits are 5.1% lower from just a year ago. Continue reading “Back up off of Obama!” »
