Comments on: Digital Speak Out: What Do You Think About President Obama? http://pojoaquenews.com/speakout/digital-speak-out-what-do-you-think/ Pojoaque Valley News Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:44:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Evillizard http://pojoaquenews.com/speakout/digital-speak-out-what-do-you-think/comment-page-1/#comment-212 Evillizard Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:38:34 +0000 http://pojoaquenews.com/?p=2348#comment-212 What do I think of Obama? Oh how writing cannot explain how much idiocy has been expressed this presidency. He has even brought civil war into his own political party I'm amazed how the guys with a HUGE majority in senate and house cannot even get his own people to cooperate. Then again we have idiots like Dennis here who just want to push this progressive agenda. When will you right and left wingers grow up and realize that people from both your stupid parties are stealing liberties from underneath us. What do I think of Obama?

See JP's comment listing all of President Obama's achievements in one year. This, in spite of the Republicans' fighting him every step of the way. If the Republicans hadn't determined from Day One of Obama's presidency that their sole goal is to destroy him, we'd have health care reform by now. As it is, we're closer to reigning in the predatory health insurance corporations than we've been for almost a century. As President Obama said in his excellent State of the Union speech tonight, the people of America elect our US Representatives and Senators to serve our nation, not to halt all progress in the name of their own self-serving interests. "Just saying 'No' to everything may be good short-term politics, but it's not leadership." (President Obama). President Obama inherited an absolute mess from George Bush, who did his best to destroy our country and the rest of the world. The President cannot fix everything Bush did in an instant. We must support him as he works to move our country in the direction it needs to go. I voted for Obama, and I would/will again in a heartbeat.

I never believed Obama's "hope and change" rhetoric and was alarmed at his redistribution of wealth agenda, among many other things. That being said, he is but one man with somewhat limited voting power. I hold more accountable our elected officials in Congress for not doing the job they swore an oath to uphold. They have forgotten they work for us, not vice versa. Last Tuesday, many Congressmen got that message loud and clear when Scott Brown won in liberal Massachusetts. I also hold accountable the progressive movement and those idolizing Mao and the elitist attitude. In a last ditch effort to ram socialism down our throats, the progressives will sacrifice the democratic party to achieve that end. It's why everything is being shoved through ASAP, in the dead of night, during the Holidays... before the elections in November can stop their momentum. Many Americans have caught on to this quick frenzy of stimulus spending with bogus pork attached, speedy new policies, immediate health care reform followed by quick-as-lighting Cap and Trade. There's a reason behind all this speedy running around of the progressive movement and it isn't empathy and compassion for the American People. It's the fast track to Socialism and finishing what Woodrow Wilson set out to put in place 80 years ago.... Obama started things off with the immediate stimulus packages then set out to weaken America further by apologizing to the world for our past "mistakes", embarrassing our CIA and just as recently as December 17, added an addendum regarding INTERPOL's legality, functionality and accountability to the US during international investigations. For those not aware, INTERPOL is no longer required to answer to the US. They are free to enter and exit the US with no accountability, whatsoever.... they are immune to our legal system, the discovery process, sharing of evidence, answering questions, etc. Scary, huh? http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-amending-executive-order-12425 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2415989/posts In no way do I think Obama's policies benefit the average Americans... 70% of jobs are created by small businesses, which are the average Americans, and raising the taxes on these small businesses will be crippling to free enterprise. Punishing the productive to reward the unproductive doesn't benefit anyone unless you call enslaving Americans into government dependency as beneficial. Saddling us, our children and grandchildren with such debilitating debt is in no way beneficial. The only way out of this downward spiral is to make our voices heard this November and repeat what happened in Massachusetts....send Congress the message, loud and clear, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!!!

Prior to being "elected", he spoke the words he knew people wanted to hear: change, change, change. It was the typical lip service of a demagogue - feeding the masses with messages of hope, change, and new beginnings. Did I believe him? Nope. I didn't believe a word that left his mouth. And don't worry, I didn't believe McCain either. I ended up voting libertarian, only because I wanted to exercise my right to vote; not because I actually thought the candidate would be elected. I'm a realist who sees the political arena for what it really is: a rigged game. And I don't want to play it, which is why I refused to vote for one of the main puppets on the ballot.

And don’t worry, I didn’t believe McCain either. I ended up voting libertarian, only because I wanted to exercise my right to vote; not because I actually thought the candidate would be elected. I’m a realist who sees the political arena for what it really is: a rigged game. And I don’t want to play it, which is why I refused to vote for one of the main puppets on the ballot. For those who still hold on to “liberal” or “conservative” view points, I challenge you to look beyond the elephant and the donkey….and come to the realization that, behind the curtains, they’re one and the same.
