Obama's Inner Circle: What Do You Think?

Posted April 1, 2009

It will take many years to correct the two Bush administrations errors. Why do the American people forget the Clinton left us with a balanced budget? And then Little George tried to correct some of his Dad's misjudgements and help all of his rich buddies that were hurting because of 9-11 and the banks! Come on America, Rome was not built in a day. Makes no difference who is in the White House - it will take this very good cabinet and a President of the people to get is going down this new path.

I was born in L.A. before 1941 and love my country and watched my dad, my uncles, other relatives and friends, my husband and in-laws, my children's friends and my son give to their country in every war that came along since then. So, I speak from the heart as a true American from a long line going back to Daniel Boone and further to our forefathers in Europe who helped make this land and forged forward in this country to make it what it is today.

So many people have come here from other countries true and cause havoc, but I'm here to tell you that our own Americans have not taught their children respect for their country or themselves.

We need people in the White House who care about our children and will force us to help protect them and make this place a safer place for them to live. Keep up the fight Mrs. President.

Get behind the wheel Americans and push like in the old wagon train days - LET'S WORK TOGETHER! STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER! HELP STOP CRIME TOO! TAKE CARE OF YOUR ELDERLY IN YOUR FAMILY! I'M ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES! GET INVOLED IN LIFE! HELP OUT YOUR NEIGHBORS!

I've raised a grandson, so I know what today's youth is up against and their parents. It is very different and difficult compared to other generations. I also have an Austic grandson, so healthcare for all is extremely important, especially the poor and the homeless.

Take care of each other and love yourself and the ones around you each day. You never know who's heart you are touching and helping make them have a better day.

Iraq, health care, Employment.

It is obvious at this point in time that the President has his own agenda and it is different than that of the majority of American citizens. His budget is up 9% + over last year while telling the people that elected him there has been no cost-of-living increase. The continuation of existing government programs and adding new ones is moving the country closer to an economic breakdown. It it believed that his next move will be to start passing out citizenships to the millions of mexicans that should be sent home. Why is our Government handing out Food cards to non-American citizens? Another move towards economic breakdown.

Hopefully, things can at least be slowed down a bit in November '10.

Send in the Republicans

It is obvious that we need a return of the Grand Old Party with their

mantra of fear and loose money. Those bible banging, gun toting, flag waving, war mongering, red blooded, sexual hypocrites who thrive on creating national fear and financed his politics with the rich's financial support. Obama's healthcare plan will cost less than a third of the George W.'s deficit legacy. There is a plethora of good that the money wasted under Bush could do! Where does John Boehmer buy his hair pieces anyway?
