Don’t be fooled by all the newspeak about 2010.

Okay, I’ve been ill and I haven’t been posting; but The Washington Post had two stories today that I just couldn’t pass up.

The first one (here) raises the possibility that Obama’s spending is going to affect the 2010 elections.  (I certainly hope so)  Evidently, polls indicate the fewer people approve of the way Obama is handling the national economy.  The article, however, points out that the problem the Republican Party has is that Bush left the country with a $1.2 trillion debt.

I know that Obama consistently blames Bush for the economic problems he inherited, but in his first 100 odd days in office, Obama has been introducing spending legislature/plans that will leave us with a $9 trillion debt within 10 years.  Can someone explain how this is Bush’s fault?  All these new investments in electrical grids, green energy, Internet technology, service corps, tobacco industry regulation, acquisition of failing banks and car companies have not produced a remarkable surge in new jobs nor a slowly improving economy.  The ideas are great, but the timing is all wrong.  I don’t have a lot of experience in economics, but I know that in the past when I tried spending my way out of debt I failed miserably.

This is another one of those newspeak tricks:  Bush $1.3 trillion = bad vs.  Obama= $9 trillion good.  I hope you aren’t one of those people who are falling for this.  If you don’t mind accumulating all that debt in the next few years, that is between you and your wallet or you and your children (unless you happen to be one of those incredibly powerful and wealthy few who accumulate wealth and shrug off debt at my expense, in which case I have issues with you).

The other article (here) suggests that the Republicans can’t win because of demographics.  It also raise the question of  “whether the GOP has a message or an agenda to combat President Obama’s popularity.”   Hold on a moment!  What does Obama’s popularity have to do with anything except to prove that he’s an American idol.  People, we are voting for those who will approve Obama’s $9 trillion deficit.  Don’t be fooled by smooth talking.  The only agenda we need to worry about is the one that opposes Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Dodd, and others of their ilk.  Show your dissaproval and vote them all out.

Let me be right up front.  I don’t approve of Obama’s social agenda and I don’t approve of the quality of life he is laying down for my future grandchildren.  I am not a Republican.  I did not vote for Obama and I will not vote for his minions when they come up for reelection.  I will vote for anyone who opposes what he is doing.  The labels means nothing to me; what matters to me is what happens to my country, my way of life, and the future.  I hope Obama isn’t the way, because  every time he opens his mouth, I hear lies and misspeak and deception.  My government is corrupt; it has been for a long time – I was no fan of Bush, either – and the people of these United States have let it slip for far too long.

Read George Orwell if you never have and read him again if you already have.  Ignore the title of his book (1984); he was off by several years, but he saw how easily we can lose our way of life and we have ignored his warning for far too long.  There is a link in the tab to an on-line free version on my home page.  Ask yourself if that is what you want our future to look like.
