Obama spotlight

I am not sure why nobody chose to post anything with this article, so I guess I will be the first. Yes, President Obama was elected by a majority of the people to bring change. It was however a slim majority. President Obama during the course of his campaign set himself up to be the "savior of the United States." He did this all on his own. Now sixty days later he hasn't produced anything except defecits and people are a little upset. One lady is quoted by the associated press as saying "Now that Obama is in office, I will never have to put gas in my car again." Like I said he did it all to himself.

President Obama has started waging class warfare on people who are making over $250,000 a year. He says he is doing this to support the down and out. If he keeps going with class warfare all he will do is further push the economy into a recession. That is economics 101. Do you want to know why NY governor Patterson is against any state tax hike on people making over $250,000? He will drive what few rich people who are left in New York out of the state.

With the record spending that he has committed to our children and grandchildren will bear the brunt of paying for the nonsense. It's not a stimulus bill if it doesn't actually stimulate the economy? I can further prove my point with this, the economy hasn't rebounded as of yet. Unemployment keeps going up and the stock market is still in the tank! It is also not stimulative when a majority of the money is not released until after the 2010 election. Why should we as Americans have to wait for a "stimulated economy" to find a job and pay our bills. If Obama where really interested in the little people money would have been given to small business owners to hire laid off people. He wouldn't be running around trying to bailout every Tom who made a bad business decision.

Speaking of bad decisions, why would you put someone in charge of the IRS when they can't even pay their own taxes. How many of his nominees have run into tax issues when trying to get confirmed? There at least five people that I know of off hand but hey who's counting anyway. Tax Cheat, oops, I mean Treasury Secretary Geittner hasn't even rolled out any plan for saving the finance industry. I kind of think that would be pretty important considering our current economic situation.

By the way, I have made investments in the stock market. Several of those investments are now considered worthless according IRS tax code. Why shouldn't I get a bailout? The answer is because I believe in personal accountability unlike our current political machine that is in place. I made those decisions and they didn't pan out, oh well.
