Domestic issues ruining Obama’s rating
Published: 22 July, 2009, 13:41
According to a leading national poll, after six months in office, Barack Obama’s presidential approval rating is now lower than his predecessor George W. Bush at the same point in his White House tenure.
Americans are acting like Pavlov's dog. "The" government is stimulating and "the" people are responding. The trouble is, the government has been stimulating with lies and the people are slowly catching on to it. It has been said " the only thing new is the history you haven't read yet ". Because our "education" system has them reacting instead of acting, they don't what to do. They don't know they need a Ron Paul for President instead of an Obama whispering sweet nothings in there ears. The American people are dangerous to themselves, like a herd of stampeding buffalo or cattle not knowing what to do or where to go. Sure they have more guns than anybody else to command "respect". Under the conditions, no one will last long as there leader, but then Democracies never do. The world needs God. He's the only solution.
He isnt trying to fix anything. He is pushing an agenda which even in his book, he admitted he formed with far leftest and communits who, as a matter of public record, now work in his administration. Read his book, he is doing exactly what he said he would do. We are trillions of dollars in debt, much of which he has sold to China. China isnt buying it anymore. So instead of tightening the belt, cutting fraud and waste he is growing the government and persuing what he calls "social justice" programs in the hope that later the economy will recover. His stimulis packages have done nothing and already stories of theft and mismanagement are in the press. The only people to benefit so far from Obama is labor unions and leftest community groups that have recieved billions of dollars. From the time him and his friends in Congress put forward that stimulis package until they voted on it was 5 days! Congress admitted they didnt even read it. Over a trillion dollars gone and trillions in debt in 6 months and we have nothing to show for it. This he cant blame on Bush, as he is fond of trying to do. Now they want to put more taxes on food, energy, transportation, savings, investments, soda, candy and even our health insurance. Between local, state and Federal taxes the US population is broke. The population is broke, the government is broke but prints more money and we are in a deep world recession. Has anything he done made any sense?
This was inevitable. He inherited a broken country and had no real idea how to fix it. So far the anti-crisis actions have been for the benefit of the big banks and Wall Street, not the little guys. On top of that, his grand idea for national health care is running up against the wall of "no more money", plus the fire-breathers in his party are upset that he isn't investigating the previous administration's misdeeds. There is no way he can win, given what he walked into. This whole set-up reminds me of Hoover, who inherited a mess from Coolidge and got all the blame for the crash and depression. It didn't help that Hoover made mistakes in how he addressed the crisis in HIS era.
