The tide appears to be turning. People are waking up and finding that Barrack Obama is not the brilliant wizard he was made out to be. His golden oratory is turning sour and people now question his words. Where’s the transparency, the end to corruption and lobbyists. The data and people making decisions, for the President, are being challenged. The President’s decision making ability has become more like one of indecision than of decisiveness. He needs months to make a decision on Afghanistan, but rushes legislation through Congress, giving no time to read or analyze the material. What would happen if the United States was confronted with a tragedy calling for an immediate decision, is Barrack Obama up to it? He follows the rule of Chicago politics; count the votes than make the decision. Washington is being run in campaign mode not as an efficient business. Their model is the Chicago Political Machine.
There are many who believe Obama is a savior, some call him the messiah, I ask them. Do you want government telling you what you can and can’t do? Do you realize the consequences of a big intrusive government? It’s a step towards socialism. Government will make your decisions. If you like that type of government you should be living in: Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, or China. Is that what you want? Am I wrong to feel that way? Look at the radicals now making decisions in Washington. Czars that were not approved by Congress, but have more power than those approved to Cabinet posts. Do you want the likes of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid running your life? You only have to look at their record: Stimulus Package, Cash for Clunkers, Fannie and Freddie, Bailouts, Insurmountable debt, Government Health Care Reform (paid abortions, cuts in Medicare, rationing, public options, limited choice, higher taxes, etc) more power for Unions, Acorn and of course government. The Obama Administration chastises: Fox News, Chamber of Commerce, Insurance Companies, Edmonds and anyone who disagrees with their policies or data. That’s what a socialistic regime does and that’s what they want us to become, servants of big government. I’m sorry, but that’s wrong, and I’m worried. I’m worried for my country, my grandchildren and the honest hard working people that have made America great. We can’t stand idly by and let Washington destroy our beliefs and traditions.
Living in Illinois I find it frustrating to be represented by Dick Durbin and Roland Burris. They don’t listen, and if you send them your opinions they respond with unrelated issues. Will the people of Illinois boot them out? Will Nevada re-elect Harry Reid, will Massachusetts keep Barney Frank or will California kick out Nancy Pelosi. Wake up America, these people don’t represent this country, they believe in an ideology that is based on Socialism. They now call themselves Progressives. Because we complain, they call us Nazi’s, tea baggers, anti American. The problem is they have become corrupt with power and arrogance. The only way to clean up the mess is to kick them out. We need more Mr. Smith’s in Washington and less Dick Durbin’s, Barney Franks and Chris Dodd’s. We need to send people to Washington who believe in the Constitution and our history. We need people whose role models are Washington, Jefferson, and Adams not Mao, Chavez or Castro. We need people who are proud of our nation, the Constitution, the flag and the traditions and values created by our founding fathers.

WHAT CHANGE? WHAT HOPE?
In 2008 Barack Obama was elected President. His message was one of HOPE and CHANGE. It is now October 2009 and we have seen little hope or change. I look to the President for leadership and direction. The office sets the tone for the movement of the country. The President is to inspire the nation to greater things. In a way, Barack Obama does these things, but in a negative way. I do not feel inspired and the reason is that the President has a different view of this great nation than I do. I find little patriotism in his leadership or message. He seems to be ashamed of the things we have accomplished and our history. He apologizes to the world for what he considers our misgivings. Our country has been more generous in helping nations and defending freedom than any on earth. We need not be apologetic for our past actions; we should be proud and shout them from the highest mountain.
Barack Obama is a mystery. Some say he is brilliant and gifted. Yes, he can move audiences but has he demonstrated that he can make the tough decisions necessary for the good of the country? His economic policies are questionable. Look at the Stimulus Package, Bailouts, and Cash for Clunkers; have they turned the economy around? Did anyone hear of the free enterprise system? Unemployment stays at around 10%; most financial institutions that received bailout monies are making large profits, while Cash for Clunkers increased sales for a month and quickly returned to its downturn. He believes in gimmicks, not substance. Barack Obama has surrounded himself with many questionalable people. People with radical backgrounds and ideas. Many espouse a socialistic or communistic ideology. Is this the change he campaigned on? Maybe that’s why many of the programs coming out of the White House are questionable. Ideas on freedom of speech, who lives or dies, a belief that everyone is the same, global warming, a new world order and on and on. If you differ with the White House you are tagged an enemy and attacked. Fox News provides coverage that is diversified and asks the tough questions. Many idolize the President as if he can do no wrong. Fox is continually singled out for doing its job. That’s what they’re supposed to do, report the news and provide opinions. Obama Health Reform brought out the issue on how much care a person should receive as they age. Is this the change he talked about? He talks about redistributing the wealth. Take from the rich, give to the poor. Aren’t you supposed to work hard and earn your way? You don’t need a government handout. This does not mean that people shouldn’t help each other. But this certainly isn’t the way to motivate people to help themselves and grow and improve. They talk about climate change and question Mother Nature. Maybe we need to clean up the air, but let’s listen to all sides. Barack Obama goes before foreign audiences as if he seeks a new world order. Let’s be realistic, look at the dictators and how they wield power to control their countries. We must deal with the real world, not a fantasy world. The United States has always acted out of power not weakness.
It appears that the White House wants to be all controlling. They want to control what we hear, what we see, how we think, and what we do and how we do it. Where is the Congress? Are they in the tank and working for the President or do they work for us? They were sent to Washington to maintain a check and balance, not to be a rubber stamp. This is serious, and scares me. This is not the America I know or want to know. This is not what this country is about. The agenda is clear, CONTROL. Government knows best and you must listen and follow what they say. That’s the message and image being portrayed by this Administration. That is not what the people voted for. That is not the change or hope they were looking for. They were fooled and most are still being fooled. They don’t read or look for different sources to find the truth or what’s really happening. The media has become a joke. They don’t report facts; most have become spokesmen for the White House. Maybe, just maybe that’s why fewer and fewer tune into the national media for news. The American people are not dumb and will not tolerate this type of control. We believe in our freedoms and we’ll fight for it. The President and his radical friends can’t fool us any longer. The ball is in the President’s court and it’s time for him to change. It’s time to clean out the radicals and bring in people who believe in America and what it stands for. Congress needs to also get in line and start doing its job. They can’t all be bought. Most Congressmen and Senators believe in this country and will fight to preserve it. We need to pressure them to protect this country and to stand up against the radical leadership and thinking that is taking over the White House. We need to continue to bombard Washington with our concerns so we can protect the Constitution and the liberties that made this country great.
