Okay, NEXT!!

Alright, I hate to be the first to admit this but Obama as a president = FAILURE! Since taking the House and Senate the republicans have been able to ram more crap past him and all the other democrats. So I think it is time that we find a new President, who can win both against Obama and whatever old, awful, white dude or crazy white lady the republicans decide to put up. I know Ralph Nader wants Bloomberg to run for President on the idea that he can win. Also because he can bank roll his own campaign. But that is not a good plan, because then we have the same problem that we have now, a pro business president who thinks that the middle class should just be happy with any break that they get. Mark my words, anything of merrit that Obama has done is about to be pulled apart brick by brick until it is unrecognizable. So I ask all of you, who should we try out next? Because moving backwards to a person who thinks that trickle down economics is good, and that you don't need any help to get back on your feet just isn't an option. As well we don't need Sarah Palin out gunning the secret service in the White House, with Todd Palin insisting that the solar panels come off the roof, because they make too much noise when the wind blows.

My Letter to the President

Dear Mr. President,
I will use your title to begin because you won it fair and square, but it is a title that I fear holds no weight anymore. I more so than most was vocal in my support of you while you were running for office, as I am merely a permanent resident with no rights to vote. I researched your points, and made sure that all my friends knew, and that they let their friends know, because I thought you represented change. That you would be like the break wall, stopping the monstrous waves from toppling this great nation. Now it is with deep regret and disappointment that I write you this letter. I have been laid off twice in 12 months, and while I thank you for my unemployment benefits, I would rather have known that you fought for the tax cuts and healthcare public option, even if it meant me sleeping on a couch and mooching off of friends. When you compromise all the time sometimes what you are left with is no better than what you started with, and I feel this is the impasse that we have reached. You haven’t done all bad I will admit, but with the big life changing items, you have failed to do what we elected you to do. You were unable to get a public option passed with a democratic house and senate, I think only because in your aw shucks way you couldn’t even get all the democrats behind it. Even now with a democratic majority you still can’t seem to get the people who, supposedly share your fundamental views to pass what you want. Sir, with all due respect I think they are waiting for a leader, just as we all are. Stop trying to cajole and charm these people, call them to attention! Rather than you announcing, a “complete capitulation” in the words of Arianna Huffington, why not take it to the people? Why not stand there during your press conference and simply ask America to let there voices be heard? If you showed enough leadership to do that, we would answer your call. You of all people should know this as a former community organizer. The Republicans have proved that the only way they know how to govern is to play nasty in the sand box, by holding things hostage and by making threats. Let them do it! Let them all go down for treason in a time of war for allowing the government to shut down. With the added bonus that maybe their pay will also be stopped until they see sense and reason.
Further more, I ask, no beg, that you become the leader that we all thought you would be. Charm, good looks, and swagger are all great things, but honestly, there comes a time when you have to ram it down there throats. You have had several opportunities to do this and you have not. It makes me wonder, as my Dad who is a US citizen didn’t vote for you, because he thinks it is unfair that he always has to choose between the lesser of two evils. Is this your brand of evil? Capitulation?
Please fight for us as hard as we fought for you, we are waiting for your leadership, and if there is heartache in there we will manage it. This country was and will always be a nation of immigrants, of people who chose not to accept the way life was, but instead chose to create it somewhere else. Everyday more of us come here, illegal and legal, but we will fight for that dream. The only question is will you?

So Disappointed!!

I understand that Obama is simply trying to make sure that everyone gets what they want and this is the only way he can think of. But he has just cut himself off at the knees by agreeing to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. I thought that given his rip roaring speeches about leadership and redistributing wealth that he would have taken a harder stance on it. The American people need to be held accountable for there actions. They voted in these republicans so let them live with the consequences. I would have had more respect for him had he simply walked up to the podium and said, fine, this is who you voted for and this is what you want. Let all of the tax cuts expire, let the unemployment go unfunded and let the government shut down. You have voted for people that have given me no other alternative or compromise except stagnation. If you don’t like it I suggest you call your senator or your congressman, when they have finished listening to you then maybe they will be ready to deal with me. Until then we are at a stale mate, but that is the way that you made it America. Instead he has let the republican’s run rough shod over him, and it is just becoming unbearable to watch. If someone could please find Michelle’s handbag, I have a feeling Barrack’s unscrewed balls are waiting to be reinserted.
