We were told there were going to be changes under Obama and there have certainly been changes. The question is what kind of changes and where they the changes that we wanted. It seems Obama's ideas of change were quite different than what many of us wanted. He sold it as a generic change and let everyone think it was whatever they wanted it to be. For some reason the neither the media or the people were asking exactly what kind of changes were going to be made. No one demanded of our current president what he planned to change and to what ends.
Let us consider the changes that have happened. We have a president who has trampled the constitution he swore to defend more than any other president. Yet this has happened with almost complete impunity. He has brought the nation into one of the severest recessions we've ever experienced. The only thing that might be considered worse than this recession is the great depression. We are now being told we can expect this near 10% unemployment to continue for at least another 7-10 years. How do we expect to make it as a nation with this being the case? The question no one seems to be asking is why it should take 7-10 years to come out of any recession? No one is asking what he's doing specifically to get us out of the recession and no one questions his bland and diplomatic answers that don't say any more than his mottos of change and "yes we can" (yes we can what?) All the president has to say is that he's going "grow the economy" and people behave as though this is enough to make it happen.
What of our president making a mockery of judges decisions and simply acting as though they don't matter if he doesn't like them.
Our allies, England, Egypt and Israel have been treated like dirt, while our enemies have been treated with kid gloves. What kind of change is this?
Obama has almost completely shut down the American oil industry while at the same time opening up deep water drilling to our competitors.
Obama has created more czar positions and given them more power seemingly than the congress. Not even Pelosi, Reid or any of the republican representatives for that matter have done anything about this.
Were any of these things changes we were screaming and hoping for? I don't think so. This is the problem. No one is questioning what Obama is doing and for the most part it seems that no one is even allowed to question what he is doing or why.
Did we really want to have an administration filled with those that openly express an allegience to communism? did we expect such a change in the administration that would allow almost all of the top cabinet positions to be filled with communists and people who are or have been members of the American communist party? Did we expect or hope for a change where the congress would become irrelevant?
Were we hoping for the kind of change that would make it easier for a union boss to visit and show up at the White House unannounced than for any of the senators?
Were any of these things really the things we were hoping for?
We were hoping to see our national debt go to 14 trillion dollars before the president was even half way through his first time, and that with nothing to show for it?
Can anyone name even one really good specific thing that was done with the more than 1 trillion dollars in stimulous? We all know of the many abuses but it doesn't seem even the president points to one major use of that money that proved beneficial. Instead what we hear are things that are nebulous and unprovable. We are told that money "saved or created" 12-43 million jobs depending on which one of our bottom feeding non-representing representatives you listen too, but they don't say or where specifically. the reason for this is that they don't know. It is nothing more than propaganda.
We have a president to constantly tells us what "he's" going to do for us with OUR money. He's not doing anything but taking our hard earned money and giving it to others not willing to work for even one time. He is eager to take from anyone that has and give to those who not only don't have, but won't produce.
Holder, one of Obama's chief cronies is more than happy to investigate to the fullest those who are least deserving of such attention, Christians and tea party people, but stands int he way of investigating any questionable union tactics, intimidation or violence, police not doing there jobs, or the black panthers and their clear violation of voter's rights. Yet again there is no media or outrage about this. Is this really the change we were looking for?
Where is coverage of this? Why are there no charges being brought against these people or calls for impeachment or at the very least an investigation? Why are there no charges against these people? Is this the kind of change we wanted, a government run by cronies and insiders? Did we really want a government and a president who views this country as his own fiefdom and who looks to extend that control and power in every way possible and snarls at those who question his right to do so?
Why do we put up with this? Why are we not demanding something be done about this?
I can't but think that our silence and compliance with these and many other things indicates to Obama that the time has come for the change he wants to bring to this country.
