Brushfire of Freedom
The Conservative Cowboy
I have noticed lately in the news that many of the people who voted for President Obama in November are starting to disapprove of the way that he is handling the economy and now health care. I am trying to understand what any of these people expected from a man that had almost no executive experience prior to his running for president. We could see his lack of experience when he nominated his cabinet, many of them with tax issues, and other problems that he should have known would not be confirmed by congress. Of the other positions that were filled many of them were leftovers from the Clinton administration. We have seen his lack of experience when it pertains to foreign relations, his iPod for the Queen of England, his bowing to the Saudi King, and of course we cannot forget the hug that his wife gave to the Queen of England. We have seen his lack of experience when speaking to a group of people when there are not scripted responses, without his TelePrompTer and previously prepared statements the president stumbles to find words to answer even the easiest questions. We have seen his lack of experience when it comes to the budget, the proposed largest deficit in our countries history.
I remember many conversations with Obama supporters back in November that would argue to the end about how he would not bring socialist ideals to the government. Now those same people are worried that the Government may now have too much say in the everyday lives of the American people. That is one of the biggest worries in everyone’s mind about the current health care bill that is in congress right now. Opponents to these ideas are being labeled as “hate mongers”, “evil”, and even that they are hurting the democratic process. Speaking out against something that you feel is wrong is necessary for the democratic process, but because we calling our out representatives on their mistakes and providing a much stronger opposition than was expected we are labeled “Nazi’s”. This name calling is typical behavior for the liberals of this country, blame all of our problems on the previous administration. I am still hearing how it was Bush’s fault, Obama you have been in office for 7 months; take some responsibility for your own actions and policies. I know that that is a hard thing for liberals to do because they like to live off of other peoples successes and blame their problems on the system. Well the American people are not buying any of your PR now Mr. President.
I was very active in November to try to push all of these questions on people that were planning on voting for Obama, obviously to no avail. People are now starting to realize that we as Americans made a mistake in electing Barack Obama as the 44th President to serve this great nation. We as Americans have made mistakes electing officials in the past as well. The wonderful thing about our system is that we have the power to rectify those mistakes, and the first step in doing so is the mid-term elections for the various seats in congress coming up in November 2010. People like Harry Reid the senate majority leader who as we have seen in the short time that President Obama has been in office is simply a puppet for the Presidents policy, not really caring whether or not he serves the people that he was elected to serve. Perhaps it is arrogance, the arrogance that comes from serving in congress from 1982 until today. Two terms in the house and a 4 terms in the senate, 27 years. Harry Reid is but one of many examples where the people that we have elected to represent us are not doing the will of the people but are simply conforming to the Presidents will.
So as the debate about health care continues I ask the people to continue to voice their opinions, and voice them in any way that will make them heard. As for the people who see now that we as Americans elected an in-experienced man to serve as our president all is not lost and we can fix our mistakes. And please remember above all that the people we elect are sitting in office to serve the people, and as the people we hold the power to elect the official that will serve our needs as individuals and as a country.
