The repeated comments from the White House staff, including the President, seems to be "Of course the people are angry with the current state of affairs, we have been through a financial crisis. People want jobs, and President Obama inherited this situation!" Well, I call BULLSHIT! Now show me your cards Pres.! That's what I thought, you have no cards to show because you spent all your good ones on Wall Street bailouts, Socialist health care, and mid-term elections.
Seeing my father lose 2 buildings in the housing market crash, then changing his political stance to be more Obama(liberal)-friendly because he saw "Change" as a possible solution. Well, in the midst of all that, he almost lost his 3rd house, "The Important House", which housed my family, such as my baby sister. Why? Well, the bailout of Wall Street didn't trickle down to the mass public. The banks, which caused this economic disaster, tightened their checkbooks. They refused to open up their newly filled coffers to the American people. Did Obama really think handing money to Wall Street big wigs would have created a solution? Who is footing the bill for that massive bailout, or better yet massive failure? We do, I do, my children, and grandchildren will!
Then comes the socialist health care plan, which was discussed during the election, so it was not a surprise to me when it happened. It was the speed of its passing through Congress and being signed into law that was disturbing. I think the failure of the Wall Street bailout forced the President to show the American people that Washington was working fervently for us. Well, that would be failure number 2. The entire quagmire of it backfired on Obama, hence where we stand now. Obama on the campaign trail for his cronies, trying to save himself from being a one hit wonder. He might have been better off as the mayor of Chicago, but not the President of the U.S. I have a right to voice my opinion here because I voted for Barr and Root, Libertarian Presidential candidates.
Well, with the election drawing close, the things I keep hearing and seeing on the news is Obama still deflecting blame on everyone but himself. Didn't he push for that Wall Street bailout? Socialist health care? Of course, they do keep saying the amount of jobs created vs. those lost has been becoming more and more manageable. Well, when we lost 1 full time job, and replace it with 2 part time jobs, it is NOT more. It is still less, the companies do not have to pay benefits or higher wages for part-timers. Not to mention, the new Obama-care is put on the American to people to pay, or out of their own pockets, and if not, then be fined and threatened with jail. Well at least in jail, socialism works well, the states pay for your health care, so why not?
This election was looking good for a third party system with the rise in The Tea Party. They have some good ideas, some good organization, but their candidates are way "right". A little too far right for me, I like the middle of the road, as any Libertarian should, the thing that worries me is swinging from far left with Obama to a far right with the Tea Party. Change that extreme will not end well for any of us. I just hope the American people wake up and see how important a 3 party system is for our country. When this 3 party system is in place, these extreme sides of political bases will have to compete, debate, and be held accountable for their intensely, misrepresented, and sometimes dangerous ideologies. Why can't I just decide what is best for me and my family, without being told by my government what is best?
Thanks for stopping by,
