Politics and Insights from History

Can we afford 4 more years of Barack Obama and his socialist policies? No we cannot. I know there are those who refuse to call Obama for what he is. But think about it; no president since F.D.R. has actively bloated the government, sought the destruction of the United States, and seized power.

Since being elected president Obama has:

· Out spent every previous president

· Grown the size of government while vastly shrinking the private sector

· Force the American people to accept government run health care (If you don’t believe this then you should study the health care legislation of 2010.

· Ignored Congress when they do not do what he wants by using bureaucratic agencies to enforce his policies or just issuing an executive order

· Allowed illegal to remain in the U.S. and wants Americans to pay for their college education

· Strengthened our enemies by allowing our allies in the Middle East to fall in the Arab Spring movements, which is quickly being overrun by the Muslim Brotherhood.

· Exerted more control over the financial industry with the Financial Overhaul Bill.

· Dissolved the Separation of Powers. Whenever Congress or the Supreme Court tells him he can’t do something, he does it anyway. Net Neutrality is a good example of this.

· Violated the Constitution time and time again.

· Increased power to the Executive Branch.

· Kept the economy in a recession despite all of his stimulus bills.

· Taken over the auto industry in America and turned it into a government run business.

· Appointed 30+ czars thus setting up a shadow government. All of these czars are not approved by the Senate and answer only to Obama. They are also all far left ideologues who think the United States needs to be turned in to Soviet Russia.

· Has used the NLRB to tell companies such as Boeing where they may build a manufacturing plant.

· Has issued many recess appointments to get his people in power when the Senate refused to approve of the appointments. Obama recently made a recess appointment to fill his newly created post of CFPB (which was created when the Frank-Dodd financial overhaul bill was passed), even though the Senate was not in recess.

· Caused the economy to stagnant as unemployment remains high. Though the government officially claims the unemployment rate to now be 8.6%, it is really closer to 11.5% since many who are unemployed are not included in the statistics. If Obama loses the 2012 election, do not be surprised if the official unemployment rate, as decreed by the government, jumps.

· Increased the national deficit to over15 trillion dollars.

· Made friends with our enemies while snubbing our allies. Obama loves to pal around with Hugo Chavez and placate Islamic radicals while he insults Israel which has always been an ally to the United States.

· Has managed to turn the presidency into a joke with his weekly concerts at the White House, games of golf, and constant vacationing.  While he and his wife live like royalty and tour the world, many Americans are struggling just to make ends meet.

· Increase the cost of living. The government says there has been no increase in the cost of living. If that is so, then why is it gas prices and the price of groceries and all consumer goods skyrocketed?

· Has made the federal government the only issuer of student loans. Before Obamacare passed, student loans were between the lender and the borrower and you could acquire one from any bank or financial institution. Now only the federal government can issue student loans, which means that students must now apply to the federal government for financial help.

· Has let the Middle East go to hell as he threw our ally Mubarak under the bus, allowing a bunch of Muslim radicals to oust him. Obama has also managed to allow the same radicals to take over Libya since he enabled the Libyan rebels to kill Qadaffi. Obama has allowed democracy to fail in the Middle East as radical Islamists, led by the Muslim brotherhood take over every country that had an “Arab Spring”.  When the people of Iran tried to protest Ahmadinejad, Obama ignored them. He remained silent as Ahmadinejad murdered his own people.

· Shrank our military with constant cuts in the defense budget. This just weakens the United States and paints a huge target on us for our enemies.

Is this the sort of man we want to remain as our president? As Obama seizes more power and blatantly violates our Constitution, America grows weaker. Each day we come closer to being in a fascist country where one man dictates everything. Barack Obama is a tyrant and a dictator. The senate has just cause to impeach the man, but refuse to do it. Many Republicans are too scared to stand against Obama.

In 2008, Americans wanted Barack Hussein Obama to be the 44^th president of the United States. What we got was a statist who has abused his power, violated his oath of office, and used every opportunity to take control of the country. America is best rid of him. This November you have a choice: Obama’s promise of slavery, or American Liberty.

Dear Mr. President,

I want to thank you for doing in six months what many liberals failed to do in 70 years. You have successfully turned us into a socialist nation.   (note the sarcasm)

You rushed through the stimulus bill saying that it was imperative in order to stop the recession. You promised us jobs, a tax cut, and a decrease in the cost of living. You told us that the stimulus bill would do all these things. You told us that this bill would keep the unemployment rate from exceeding 8%. It now sits at 9.7% and is well on its way to being 10%. Where are all the jobs you promised us? And do not tell me about the teacher that was spared the pink slip or all of the state and federal jobs that exist to contend with the bureaucracy your bill created. Where are the jobs for the manual laborers? What about the small businesses that have closed their doors? Those are the jobs we need. It appears that the only people that have benefitted from this bill are state and federal employees. The number one beneficiary is the Federal Government.

You promised us fiscal responsibility. In the last six months where have you or your administration demonstrated fiscal responsibility? That Stimulus Bill cost $787 billion dollars. You had to borrow money from China to help pay for it. Clearly, the United States is bankrupt if you are borrowing money to pay for a bill that is supposed to stimulate the economy. How is that being fiscally responsible? What was in that 1,600 page bill? Did you even read it? I think not, considering you rushed it through during your first week as president. You promised no more pork, but how can a bill that it over a 1,000 pages long not have any pork?

In a recent address of yours, you said that the stimulus package was doing exactly what it was designed to do. I thought it was supposed to promote economic growth. Instead we are getting an economic collapse. So if your statement is true, then that means this bill was designed to destroy the economy, create unemployment, and bring fear to the American people.

And now you want us to accept your health care reform bill. You are adamant about getting it passed before the end of the year. Why the rush? What is in this bill that you do not want people to know about? Could it be that you know within a year’s time you will not have the majority you need to pass your agenda? This bill has the pungent smell of dead fish. It can’t be about reform. You are just expanding an already broken system and shoving everyone into it. We have already proven in this country that government run health care does not work. Medicare and Medicaid are two government run health care programs on a limited scale and they are both bankrupt. The people on these programs do not get the care they need because they have to wait for approval from the government.

Why are we following the model of Europe or even Canada when it comes to health care? Their government run systems are failing. People leave those countries and come to the United States for medical care. Are you so arrogant that you believe you can do it better? Are you so stupid that you refuse to learn from the mistakes of others? Do you truly care about the best interest of America, or are you only concerned about what helps Barack Obama? But most importantly, will be subject the very system that you want to put the American people on?

This health care reform bill is too conveniently timed. Most people without health insurance are unemployed. The unemployment rate is dangerously close to 10%. People are frightened that if something happened they won’t get to see a doctor much less be able to pay for it. And here you step in to save the day with another expansive government program. Very, very convenient.

And why so silent on Cap and Trade? I know the bill is being pushed through Congress. Please explain why we need to tax the hell out of businesses in order to offset global warming. The passage of this bill will prove disastrous for this country, especially since we are in a recession. Cap and Trade has never worked in the past in reducing carbon emissions. It did destroy businesses. You passed a stimulus bill to stimulate the economy. Now you want to pass Cap and Trade which is known for destroying the economy. Don’t the two cancel each other out?

Your foreign policy is no better than what you have done domestically. You routinely call America an arrogant nation. You insult your own country overseas mentioning it with disdain. Not once have you defended America. Do you hate your own country so much that you are incapable of talking about the very things that make America great? Not once have you mentioned what we have given the world. The United States feeds most of the world’s population. We are always there to help those that desire freedom from tyranny and oppression. We have defeated some of the worst tyrants in history for the sake of the world.

You are the President of the United States. It is your duty to protect and defend the American people. You have failed to perform such a task. When North Korea vowed to wipe the United States off the map, you said nothing. When Somali pirates took Americans hostage, you waited over a week to finally do something. It was only when people started asking questions that you finally sent in the Navy Seals to free the hostages. You won’t even address the atrocities that are happening in Iran. You have snubbed Israel, our only ally in the Middle East. Instead you shake hands and act all chummy with the likes of Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, and Raul Castro. You derided the Honduran people for defending their country and constitution from a man who tried to declare himself a president for life. Why do you like dictators so much?

You promised us hope and change. Instead of change you brought us more of the same. Instead of hope we have despair. You lied to us, Mr. President. You sold us a bill of goods. You conned the American people into voting for you. You have demonstrated that you are unfit to be the President of the United States.

You are a sniveling little weasel. A man who slithered his way into the Oval Office on false promises and false hope. You have systematically taken over elements of this country that were once in the hands of the private sector, the people. You have systematically usurped the Constitution. You have betrayed the trust of the American people. You have betrayed the U.S. Constitution. You, Sir, are a traitor.

Signed,

Lady Liberty
