And For The Great Obama’s Next Trick… How to convince people they are NOT looking at a Socialism Bill.

Today The President of The United States wrote an op-ed piece.

Normally I would consider this to be a joke. This time it is no joke. Obama apparently THINKS that by doing an op-ed piece and telling everyone that the sky is on fire is how a president leads a nation. I don’t know where he gets his ideas. I can tell you that he could most likely not give a heart-felt speech on the issue, because there is a possibility that he would have to answer questions from reporters afterwards. Obama does not like the media much now; even though they propped him up for the entire campaign. He has made the media look bad by proving to be a less than impressive leader. Does the following sound honest to you?

Obama:

Because each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes," he wrote. "And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.

In recent days, there have been misguided criticisms of this plan that echo the failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis -- the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems; that we can meet our enormous tests with half-steps and piecemeal measures; that we can ignore fundamental challenges such as energy independence and the high cost of health care and still expect our economy and our country to thrive.

I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change. They know that we have tried it those ways for too long. And because we have, our health-care costs still rise faster than inflation. Our dependence on foreign oil still threatens our economy and our security. Our children still study in schools that put them at a disadvantage. We've seen the tragic consequences when our bridges crumble and our levees fail.

This angers me, because every time the Democrats bring up the word crisis or depression they forget that it is their party in large part who is historically responsible for these conditions. Now we have the same people using the same techniques to attempt to dupe everyone again. Funny how all of the problems he lists above have large government involvement. GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IS THE ONLY THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON. Is it not wise to assume that the one binding factor, (government) could be the problem?

Sorry Mr. Obama but we can and will be able to reverse this “crisis”. The way to do that is ignore your party’s historically inaccurate suggestions and apply Conservative Legislation to deal with the issue. The economy is not stimulated by fears of increased taxes, the second highest corporate tax globally, fears that capital gains taxes are going to increase. Economies are stimulated when there is opportunity. When opportunity is scarce and achievement punished, there is little room for optimism…

Tell me what you think?
