Is this noble experiment that commenced in the late 1700's in danger of failing? I say no. Every country has its highs and lows. I believe in President Obama. I don't agree with every policy decision he has made,but I do feel that he has the back of the heart of America. Has he neglected to poor as Tavis Smiley and Cornel West say? To some degree, the poor people have historically gotten the raw end of the deal, especially in tough economic times.
Has Obama forsaken the heart of the country, while trying to negotiate with the right-as Bill Mahr and Michael Moore would say? Yes, the president has tried to negotiate with the right. To some degree they are correct. He started out his presidency with one economic crisis after the next and yes, he tried something novel- he tried to involve everyone in the decision making process. Perhaps he should have just been a prick and took everything he could get his hands on - after all he had a majority in both houses for the first two years.
People forget that even though he bailed out the baok and the auto industry- they paid the money back in a very short period of time. The problem is that the bat shit tea party has held up any real decision making policy to the point where there is absolutely no compromise. They may all be on the same kickball team but they are using a medicine ball that will just prevent any one from getting anywhere.
Believe me, things look bleak right now, but if the indecision in congress continues the next 14 months, the American public will realize who is at true fault. The tea party members have a lot of nerve holding this county in a vice grip and they will pay at the polls if they keep this going.
How do we get out of this? Remind the bankers who bailed them out when they were in dire straights. They need to make it possible for people to purchase houses. People should not purchase homes that they can not afford. They have to do this in order for the recession to be over. We need more home sales, more construction, more jobs available to the average citizens.
We need to have serious education standards and require more from our children. Parents need to value their children's education and actually be involved in the process. We need to realize that college is not for every child. Way too much money is loaned out ( and never fully repaid) to students that are not serious about college. If a child has not made above a b average in high school-do you really think that they are going to be more successful in college?
Finally, lets try to support our president. He is very intelligent and he has introduced a jobs plan. Historically it has taken at least five years to fully recover from big dips in the economy. Let us give him our support. Have you wondered why there are no excellent candidates on the Republican side? That is because we are in serious trouble and there are very few intelligent candidates that have the balls to take on this mess. Let us back Obama and I believe we will be able to come back from this mess.
Buy a house, car, wardrobe that you can afford. Stop charging everything without thinking about the long term consequences. Don't go to college just because everyone else does- have a life plan. And stop Whining!!!!!
