Let me give a disclaimer. I am neither a Republican, not a Democrat. The same can't be said for the PRESS, which is 90% LIBERAL and embracing Democratic party principles. The PRESS basically elected Obama which means the PRESS defeated Hillary.
Either candidate could have beaten McCain; however, the allure of a black president with an Islamic background, and one of the world's best orators (with a teleprompter of course) was just what the PRESS loved. Ah, but now the prince has become king and STUFF is hitting the fan!
While I embrace many of the social and humanitarian pillars in the Obama presidency, his first four months in office have left me shaking my head.
The economic policies being followed by the Obama economic team are disastrous and the long-term "unintended consequences" are yet to be known. He's destroying the capitalistic system (which has been in need of repair but not total destruction) and replacing it with a social hybrid that's proven UNWORKABLE in many other societies. The little man has been forsaken in the capitalistic system, but neither will he-she be helped in the SOCIAL format that's being pursued.
As American heads LEFT, the rest of the world, with a few exceptions, is now moving RIGHT!
Senior Chinese leaders have privately voiced fear over the soaring US budget deficit and are increasingly looking to diversify from the dollar, a Republican congressman said. "We heard across the board -- in private -- substantial, continuing and rising concern," Representative Mark Kirk said after a trip to China that included talks with government officials and central bank chief Zhou Xiaochuan.
Unemployment is headed to DOUBLE DIGITS and at some point Obama and his team, (and the PRESS) will have to quit blaming everything on George Bush. I mean, who even thinks about that name any more? Taking over one US corporation after another, getting involved where no federal government should is going to take it's toll. The honeymoon is over for "Joe Blow", and soon the PRESS will have to grudgingly admit it as well.
