People voted in favor of what he campaigned for. But the president isn't governing the same way he campaigned. He campaigned more in the middle, and is governing way to the left. I had high hopes for our president, and saw his election as proof that anyone can succeed at anything in our nation. But it turns out he isn't what he said he was. The moderate dem and gop voters have been misled, and because of this the president will be a single-termer.
Americans would like positive change in the way our government does business, but not change in the foundations of our constitution. I would suggest if it's our constitution you don't like, find a country with one you do, and go there. Oh, but there isn't a country with a better constitution. That says something about what we have in the U.S. and should motivate us to preserve it.
Why is this a shock to anyone. I saw right through the facade, the two things he had in his corner were he could talk well and the media loved him. The man has no substance. If you look at the people he surounded himself throughout his political career, it should come as no shock to how he's governing. The whole cash for clunkers was the biggest joke. Gee, I have an older car, paid off, but why don't I trade it in and go into more debt in this economy with a brand new car payment. But the pied piper said it was good and the lemmings followed. Do I think he is the end of America, no, her foundations are too strong. But if you look at Government throughout our history it never gets smaller, only larger. Once one more Government program is instituted, it never ever goes away, ever. So the more he grows it, the worse it gets. Here's to higher taxes in 2011.
You know why he won the election, his sleeves. He would give his speech, promptly remove his sport coat and role up his sleeves... "oh! did you see that, he rolled his sleeves up to his elbow, he's one of us, he understands. OBAMA!!! OBAMA!!!!..." This last election and the elections to come are nothing more than American President Idol, thanks media.
Oh, and here's another familiar feeling that leads to all warm and fuzzies- Our military leaders are telling him what they need to combat the enemy, but he knows better, especially since he's never laced up boots and grabbed a rifle in his life. Oh and that idiot Biden, we don't need more troops we can defeat them with technology. How well has that worked in the past? Even with GWI, all the technology we threw at them for 100 days, it was still won by boots on the ground.
