Hope and Change???
We are still looking for that Hope and Change and Transparency
Promised to us by Obama
This is an Opinion Letter I posted in 2012
November 2012 wasn't about beating Mr. Obama but about avoiding
the socialist state being created right under our noses.
We hoped for improvement in the economy, employment, and housing
situations and a decrease in the national debt.
Obama preached of transparency and how informed Americans would
be.
Thanks to the Liberal, corrupt media and the so-called "Voices"
for Americans being so un/misinformed about the DC agenda, we got an
OJT President and everything but positive Hope and Change and his
ideas were terrifying.
So after 7 years of campaigning, Billions of dollars of vacations,
is it wrong for me to think we were conned?
When the going got tough, he got going. He boarded AF1 and jetted
off for photo-ops in Hawaii or Vegas rather than doing the business of
the people that he was elected to do.
Several Daily Commercial Opinion writers (names withheld) are so
obviously misinformed that they actually miss the obvious.
One got one thing right, "Voters Knew Dems Would Give Them Help",
like food stamps and handouts. Now comes the quid pro quo they expect.
The debt is over $16T, unemployment truly at 14%, a loan interest
of over $1B a day, and 43M people on food stamps because there is no
incentive to work.
Washington is spending $11B a day, $3B on HH&S.
The FED gets $5B daily increasing the debt by almost $6B PER DAY.
Do the math. We must reduce spending but in Obama's own words, he
plans to continue increasing it.
He wants to extend unemployment again to 3 years.
The math: (ex), given 1000 workers, 50 won't work, 100 lose their
jobs and collect unemployment until it runs out while 100 more become
unemployed while the first 100 stop looking for work. To Obama, those
first 100 are dropped from the unemployment rolls and they no longer
exist.
Now only 750 are working and 100 are collecting and looking so the
unemployment drops to roughly 8%. And that is how you juggles the Job
Participation Rate and how you con the American people.
He was insisting on an open checkbook while he digs a deeper hole.
He blames Republicans in order to avoid closing loopholes his
wealthy donors, celebrity friends, and family friends have used every
year to avoid paying their fair share.
He increased the size of the government by 143,000 with an annual
average salary of $84K costing taxpayers over $238B annually.
And Obama's Healthcare plan they rammed down our throats includes
thousands of hidden fees, taxes, mandates, and rate increases. And it
has a $63 fee for pre-existing conditions guaranteed to be passed down
to everyone.
TRANSPARENCY? Voter fraud is being investigated.
There are businesses like Boeing laying off thousands being asked
"NOT to notify the employees until after the election or stalling the
Benghazi investigation because it may reveal impeachable acts by the
administration. Some State Dept. employees were leaving or creating
ailments to avoid having to testify in the case.
The deaths surrounding "Fast and Furious" gun scandal or the loans
to failed automotive and solar companies that never produced anything
and yet the corrupt media buried it.
Thousands of regulations were put on oil exploration and research.
Every new regulation cost jobs and forced prices to rise. How many of
our everyday items contain oil?
(Just asking, Is any of this starting to look familiar?)
(Are we today experiencing Obama 2.0?)
Conveniently Democrats forget who controlled ALL of Congress when
this was taking place.
Senators haven't passed a budget and the last 2 proposals got zero
votes even from the Democrats.
Why can't anyone tell us what they did with over $6T of the debt
created?
I understand that Obama won the 2012 election regardless of who it
was that voted for him but it doesn't change the fact we are being led
to slaughter because people refuse to research and vote according to
where the truth is.
Mr. Obama is digging a hole we soon won't be able to crawl out of.
**The take away from this old opinion letter is that almost all
of these issues were swept under the carpet and today the Left is
still lying to Americans and destroying the country from under the
table and pretending none ever happened.
The Left has weaponized the media and have corrupted the Justice
and State Departments so badly that truth and laws have become just an
obstacle they choose to either manipulate or ignore.
If we don't move to unite and stop the evil and corruption we will
surely have no one to blame when we become another Venezuela and that
TOO is a FACT.
May God have mercy on this nation.
Conservatively,
John
