I know its still early, but as the first 50 days comes to a end shortly, I want to comment on this disaster that is the Obama presidency.
I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't like anything that would be coming from the White House for the next four years (God help us if it turns into eight). Thats why I voted for McCain. I wasn't the biggest McCain fan, there were better choices that earlier voters ditched for whatever reasons in the primary. But McCain would have been so much better as president then Obama is shaping up to be. The lack of experience is really showing.
I thought Obama would have learned from the early mistakes of the Clinton years and deep six the far lefty types. Or at least do a better job of concealing the "true" plans of his Administration, so he could lessen the talk from those that oppose him. Clinton learned the hard way that the U.S. isn't a far left country, but at least he backed off on the loonier things after a while. Yes, I guess I am saying that even Clinton was a better president then Obama.
Obama is making the same mistakes of the early Clinton years. The left-wing socialistic programs are front and center making it easy to attack. Of course maybe he is hoping to demonize the Republicans as road-blockers. It could work, but once again, the U.S. is still not a far left country. Taking on Rush Limbaugh is a big mistake because it will lead to him being a bigger problem for him. Clinton took him on several times and lost all of them.
Choices made for many posts show the farce that is Obama's so-called "reform". Breaking your own "rules" was a nearsighted and dumb move. Picking insiders and known crooks isn't a way you are going to bring "change".
Setting a end date for Iraq is most likely the most deadly choice Obama has made so far. Iraq could end up a sitting duck if they cannot get their house in order before next year end date. Who knows about places like Iran and North Korea.
Russia and China know that the new president is a weak leader. They will push at the U.S. and we will fall back during the next four years. Cutting the military budget will only show more weakness without helping the budget.
Finally the unbelievable amounts of spending in just a few weeks. Mortgaging the future is just wrong. It will make the recession last far longer then it would have otherwise. Government spending will never end a recession, why can't people just accept that?
Government growth will continue to end freedoms in America. Obama wants that for the U.S. That may be Obama legacy.
Hoping for Real Change!
