Obama and the economy

And so, now, Mr. O decides to "travel" to the states that were "friendly" to him in the '08 election and "at our expense".  He claims he is doing this to find out what the "folks" are thinking...and so that we don't think he's an elitist...however, he is "electioneering" at our expense and he is an ELITIST.  He's planning a lovely Martha's Vineyard vacation, too, (where the Elite meet and greet) while people in our country are out of work, losing their jobs/homes/families.  I would say you can call him an Elitist.  He is like Nero who fiddled while Rome burned...his fiddle, however, is a golf club.

My favorite speaking segment on this trip is when he said, today, that our economy has been hit by "some bad luck".  BAD LUCK...the only BAD LUCK we've had, in the USA, is OBAMA!!  His approval poll ratings are now 39%.  I think that poll figure is very generous.  What's he done other than get us deeper in debt than any other President.  And blame everyone else for his shortcoming:  Bush, the Tea Party, the Republicans, Bad Luck, Japan's earthquake, the WEATHER!  Give me a break!

It's obscene when you see the amount of money he's been raising for his campaign.  What we should do is have a rule.  Everyone takes a predetermined amount of money from a  pool of money, perhaps a dollar or two from each tax payer on his/her takes return, and is limited to those monies for campaigning.  No corporate or individual donations.  Therefore, no politican would be "beholding" to any lobbyist, corporation, individual, George Soros, etc.  We need to get all these questionable donations out of the electioneering arena.

And finally, speaking of Obama, whatever happened to confidentiality with our top secrets.  He goes and tells the world which group killed Osama Bin Laden...Navy Seals Team 6.  Thanks for telling the terrorists, Mr. O, who killed their leader.  So what do they do, they kill 30 Navy Seals from Team 6.  DUH!  Mr. O, you are supposed to protect our servicemen, you are supposed to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.  Protection, Security, Mr. Obama you were supposed to keep Top Security Protection for these men who were risking their lives for us.  Did you do your job?
