What an Obummer
I note with some alarm that most of the e-mails I have been receiving lately have concerned themselves with our current president. Further alarm is triggered by the fact that none have placed him in a favorable light. This, of course, is probably due to the fact that all my previous liberal contacts have faded away into the night as it has become more and more apparent that he is so far in over his depth that it would be laughable if it were not so disruptive to our joint common sense.
The latest e-mail is a forward from the former mother-in-law of my daughter. A few samples---
If any of our former presidents had doubled the national debt in one year, would you have approved?
If any of our former presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he had never even read, would you have approved?
If any of our former presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
I don't know about you, but these are very serious charges to me, and, yet, each is very provable. There are about three dozen of these charges levied in the e-mail, and I cannot find a single one that does not have an actual basis in fact. Yet our liberal friends seem totally unconcerned about them, and in point of actual fact, seem to approve.
I recognize that our country is in serious, serious trouble, and yet this president seems, like his supporters, to be totally unconcerned with the mockery he has made of the presidency. It would seem a small thing that he bows to the king of Saudi Arabia, that he presents a set of videos of himself to the queen of England, that he has consistently downplayed the role of the US in the governance and well being of the entire planet - if it were not for the fact that he really honestly believes that he is performing his duties in a wise manner.
His buffoonery is intolerable to any thinking American. He is what he is, a street organizer; and that is all he ever will be, whether he holds higher office or not. He is simply incapable of understanding that his actions are deleterious not only to himself, but to all persons upon this earth. He is, after all, the leader of the free world - or his position commands that he be. At present, he is the leader of only the Democrat Party and its coterie of far left ultra liberal loonies.
He has been unable to form any kind of coalition between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress and in the country at large. Indeed, he has been disruptive to that entire process. He has failed utterly to lead, but has relied upon his gang of 32 czars to formulate policy and given them their head to place such policies into effect by regulation, thereby bypassing any Congressional review. He has forced legislation to be passed without any review by the 600 plus members of Congress. The leadership of the Senate cannot get anything passed unless the matter is decided by a 51-49 vote. The House does pass numberless bills but the Senate will not even bring them to the floor.
Gridlock.
That is what the current president has provided to the US populace. Gridlock.
I thought the country under Carter was a travesty. Under Obama, it isn't even that good. Under Carter we were dealing with a man who could not make up his mind what it was he thought would move the country forward. Under Obama, we have a man that doesn't know and apparently doesn't care what he does to the 330 million, only what is best (in his eyes) for him. And that surely is not what is best for this country.
This country WILL survive his ineptness. I have no doubt of that. He WILL go down in history as the worst of all so far. But the travail that he leaves in his path will take decades to erase.
And in the meantime, we talk of entitlements (which aren't, by the way, as dedicated taxes have been and are being paid for Social Security and Medicare, for Unemployment and Workers Compensation, etc.) We talk of cutting federal expenditures, we talk of raising taxes on the rich, we talk of a 'super committee' which will do nothing, we battle over the debt ceiling, and we talk ad nauseam. The real description of gridlock. Talk. Talk. Talk.
OK.
The time has come to get off our collective asses and DO. The malaise that has overcome us has to be ended. And the only way to DO that is to vote for anyone other than this popinjay that is holding the office now. I don't see a lot of difference between the current crop of Republican hopefuls. But I'd vote for Bill the Cat if it would ensure that Obama is removed from the presidency.
