Okay, I’ve got it figured out. I dare say that the Democrat-controlled Congress today is a malice to America. Their leaders — Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) — are on a path to destroy the free country you and I have grown up in. America, as we know her, as the world knows her, has a cancer within. That cancer is big government.
But there’s more to this scary tale. Although Congress has a major part in this, so does the president. However, I do believe that President Obama has no ill wishes upon this nation. I just think that his political and social philosophy are incompatible with American traditions. He loves America, but in a way that’s akin to a cold hearted, disengaged father publicly scolding his son and wishing that the son could be more like the elitist neighbor’s. Obama doesn’t think America is great. He believes America can be great, but not by embracing its traditions and what the Founding Fathers sacrificed for. Since he entered the Oval Office, he’s demonstrated that he’s willing to try a few things to reverse the course laid out by Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and W.
Unsurprisingly, Obama’s plans for America aren’t working well at all. The economy isn’t in recovery even after billions of taxpayer dollars were spent. Unemployment rate remains high. Companies remain reluctant to spend capital. Retailers continue to sit on unwanted inventories. New and old homes remain unsold across the land.
Instead of admitting to his failure and try to mitigate the poor results, the president just seems… indifferent. Rather than moving to the center, he’s still on cruise control to the far left. As if he’d already given up trying to run the country, let alone being the Leader of the Free World.
And that’s what makes him so dangerous. He absolutely doesn’t care. Not you and me. Not our kids or grandchildren.
Seriously, of course he knows what to do to regain his popularity among the people, to improve his job approval ratings. Of course he knows millions of people are out of work. Of course he knows home values are severely deflated. Of course he’s aware of Iran’s nuclear plant and the threats from Al Qaeda. Of course he knows we’re spending way too much money. Of course he knows universal health care will burden our livelihoods.
So he and his family pretend nothing bad is happening. They go on many exotic vacations and have a great time, eat plenty of lobsters, and Obama makes a call to his economic advisers just to show he cares. (Those advisers should’ve been fired a long time ago.)
But nah, I doubt Obama really gives a flying flip about the suffering of the people. Jobless? Obama thinks he’s giving you a sabbatical.
