Arrogant Entitlement

Senator Barack Obama in an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer on February 2, 2009: (Lauer an Obama supporter making a point against the GOP spending)

Lauer: “At some point, will you say, ‘Wait a minute – we’ve spent this amount of money, but we’re not seeing results, we’ve got to change course dramatically’?”

Obama: “…A year from now, I think that people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress, but there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

Obama has spent more money in his first three years than President Bush did in 8 years.  I will bring up Bush since the Obama administration still love to point their finger at him.  Obama claimed in one year economic progress will be made, but let’s give him a little breathing room, in almost four years, have we made economic progress?  Even “some” progress?

John Marriotti (author of bestseller Hope is not a Strategy) on August 21, 2012 in a contribution to Forbes.com had this to say about Bush and Obama:

“But that was then, and this is now. Since Obama took office the situation has gotten much, much worse. Obama has run up the deficit at more than twice the rate Bush did. During the first quarter of 2011, the US economy “barely grew” —at 0.4%—that was followed by second quarter’s “anemic growth” of 1%. This was during the period when the Obama recovery was supposed to be well underway. Employment data is unremittingly terrible: new jobless claims are stuck at 400,000+/- each month, with job creation well below what it takes just to absorb new workforce entrants. More Americans have been unemployed longer than ever in our history. And looking ahead, the news is not good.”

Will President Obama hold himself to the same regard that he has Senator Obama held the Republicans at?

The answer is an outrageous “NO!”  How could he the almighty Obama take responsibility?  In his own mind he is a saint, a scholar, a gentleman who possess’ an advanced understanding and intellect that the common man just does not understand and should not question.  He will not be held to the same regard as the Republicans, he feels he is far better.  He does not need to lower himself down to work across party lines.  Why should he?  He knows all and the Republicans are racist for not seeing him AS the answer.

I am sorry Mr. President, but you are not the answer.  You do not have the answers.  Nor do you possess’ the understanding or intellect to achieve the answers the United States requires now, not an idealistic pipe dream down the road.  Your economic plan as failed us all but we the people are the ones who suffer. 

 

We struggle to pay our bills, put gas in our cars and put food on the table.  How dare you stand in front of the worst economy in decades after almost four years of YOUR failed policy’s and try to play dodge ball.  You are not entitled to the oval office.  Take responsibility, own up to your failures and maybe people will respect you.

Common Sense says:  This president must go.  This country needs responsible leadership not pandering egos. No more whining Obama, you wanted this job so badly in 2008, you got it in 2008.  Now take responsibility.  (I feel like I am talking to a child, not an intellectual scholar)
