I can’t help but gripe about Obama. I know, I know, he’s the President of these United States and he deserves respect and…blah, blah, blah. But it's tough. I don’t even think of him as “my president.” When I voice these feelings some ask, “What has he ever done to you? Why do you dislike him so much?” So, I thought it would be helpful to make a list. Now, keep in mind, please, that this is not a complete list. I’m sure there are items that I’ve overlooked, and there will be many future items to add (unfortunately). But, here is the partial list of grievances against Fuhrer Obama.
· The first one goes back to when he was just a state senator in Illinois (so it really doesn’t go back too far). He spoke out in 2001 and 2002 against the Infants Born Alive Protection Act (granting full rights to babies who survive abortions). In 2003 he killed the Act in committee. I could stop right there and that would be enough, but there’s more.
· His excessive apologizing to the rest of the world is insulting to Americans. He has called all of us arrogant (not to mention the fact that his Attorney General has said we are a “nation of cowards”).
· He fired the CEO of a private company. Man, I had a hard time even writing that. First of all, he had no authority to do it, but no one questioned him or stood up to him (that’s how bullies thrive). So, for the first time (that we know of) an American President ousted the director of a company and basically had a lackey appointed in his place.
· Obama is actually giving more power to the Federal Reserve. Never mind the fact that the unconstitutional organization is partly to blame for the current financial crisis, Obama is giving them more control and authority. This leads us to the next grievence.
· Obama is printing money like it’s going out of style! Wait until massive inflation hits. Then maybe more Americans will wake up and see why this is a horrible idea.
· Obama will bring back the “Fairness Doctrine” (which is anything but). Barack can’t stand the fact that conservatives in talk radio wield such a big stick. Every since he’s taken office with a Democrat controlled House and Senate, talk of the crazy, Gestapo “Doctrine” has been all over the place. He may not do it directly, and there’s a good chance it won’t be called the “Fairness Doctrine,” but the assault on free speech has already begun.
· He controls the press! The media hounds loved Clinton. However, I can’t remember a time when the so called “watchdogs of government” were so blatantly in the tank for a president. What’s funny is Obama is so concerned about his image and what gets out he even keeps his cult like followers in the media on a short leash. He controls what photos get out, who is allowed in various press conferences, and even plants questions using fake reporters!
· Cap and trade. Enough said right there, but I’ll elaborate a bit. It’s no business of the government or anyone else how “energy efficient” my home is, what I keep my thermostat set at, or anything else like that. If I want to drive a gas guzzling SUV (which I do) then I’m going to drive one. Which reminds me, gas is going to shoot sky high when this cap and trade nonsense becomes law, not to mention the cost of heating and cooling our homes. There’s no better way to kill off an already suffering economy than to enact the disastrous policy we call “cap and trade.” But hey, it’s for the environment. I guess I just don’t care about mother earth. Man, I’m a hate monger!
· Two words: Sonia Sotomayor. I’ve got news for all the liberals: it’s not just white men who can be racist and sexist, as this Latino woman fully proves.
· Government bail-outs were wrong under George W. Bush, and they’re wrong under Barack Hussein Obama. It’s not right for the hard earned tax dollars of hard working Americans to be stolen and given to those who have been fiscally irresponsible!
· Thanks to the bail-outs, Obama and the United States Government now own the controlling portions of several U.S. businesses. If that’s not socialism, I don’t know what is. Obama has said, “I have no desire to run these companies.” Then stop firing executives.
Like I stated above, this is by no means a finished list. I’m sure I’ve left out numerous things. Trying to figure out all Obama has done wrong is tough. There’s just so much! Soon I’ll be able to add “health care” to the list. But, in the mean time, send me your items and let’s compile this list together.
