Misunderstanding President Obama

People continue to misunder stand American dictator Barack Obama. “Why is he governing the way he is, when it’s not helping our country?” they ask. Uhmmm, maybe because he doesn’t want to help the country, at least not in the sense that most people would consider “help?” On Fox news today, there was an opinion piece posing 7 questions regarding various Obama policies. I’m posting them here along with what I belive are accurate answers.
1. Regarding his $900-billion health care fix President Obama says, “Reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan.” If that’s true, why not show that government can actually do that first, before we drastically increase spending, the nation’s debt, and government control over our health care?
Simple, he’s not interested in eliminating waste any more than he is interested in “fixing” health care. If the goal is to provide health care coverage for those who can’t afford it, there are many better and cheaper ideas than a $900 billion government takeover of the US health care sector. Unfortunately, the goal is actually more government power and control.
2. Regarding the “achievement gap,” high dropout rates, and violence plaguing many schools, why not give those mostly black and Hispanic students and their families the hope and change they desperately need? Why not defy intransigence by the teachers’ unions and allow school choice, charter schools and privately-funded opportunity scholarships?
Again, Obama doesn’t care about the “achievement gap.” Uneducated people are easier to control. Don’t expect to see any meaningful educational reform as long as Democrats are in power.
3. Regarding energy independence and lowering energy costs, why not permit more nuclear power plants to be developed in our own country as soon as possible, as France and Japan have already done—safely? Why not consent to more environmentally responsible domestic oil drilling now, whether onshore or offshore, even while we test the feasibility of alternative sources of energy?
Energy independence and lower energy costs are not things that Obama and the Democrats are interested. In Obama’s own words, “under my plan, electricity costs would necessarily skyrocket.” Again, the goal is power and control. Think about it. If government can limit fuel consumption, they can limit when and where we can travel. Don’t think it will happen? Maybe not by force, but in effect if you can’t afford to buy fuel…
4. Regarding economic revival and the development of world markets for U.S. goods, why repeat the mistake that helped trigger the Depression—the imposition of trade barriers, such as the cap and trade bill’s carbon tax on imports and a new 35 percent tariff on Chinese tires? Instead, why not buck the labor unions, special interests and Democrats in Congress by fast tracking more free trade agreements with other countries?
Because he doesn’t care about the economy. From his perspective, the worse the economy is, the better off Democrats are.
5. Regarding job creation, with national unemployment at a 26-year high (and expected to rise), why not immediately cut taxes and regulations much more on small businesses which, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce and Bureau of the Census, created 78.9 percent of the nation’s net new jobs?
Because he doesn’t care about job creation. More people out of work means more people dependent on Big Government.
6. Regarding terrorism, why not investigate terrorists more aggressively rather than going after the CIA?
His sympathies lie more with those trying to destroy the American way of life than with those who protect it. I doubt he agrees with their methods, but he certainly shares there goal of destroying the American way of life. This also explains why he always sides with despot nations like Venezuela, Russia, and Iran at the expense of allies like Honduras, Poland, and Israel.
7. Regarding government ethics, why not have a single—rather than a double—standard? Elected and appointed officials need to abide by the same laws they require regular citizens to follow.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
When you think about it, it’s very easy to understand why Obama acts the way he does.
