We went through the 2008 presidential campaign with one candidate espousing Hope & Change. How is that Working for you? That guy is back in the race again this year. Even though it hasn't been officially decided, we also have another new guy in the presidential race for 2012. No new slogan for this guy has been put out there yet. In my opinion we really don't need another slogan if the results are going to be like the last guy who won with a slogan.
I'm not 100% sold on the guy we have running against the guy with the hopey, changey slogan. But I am sold on the fact that we can't afford 4 more years of this same guy in the White House.
When Barack Husein Obama took the oath of office for the Presidency of the USA, he made history. He was the first African-American sworn in as President of the United States. That's a great accomplishment! I'm glad our country has evolved. As far as I'm concerned as soon as he was sworn in that part of history is done. At that same time gas had an average retail price nation wide was $1.87. Unemployment was nearly 7%. Since then we have seen gas explode to a nation wide average of nearly $4 per gallon and unemployment sky rocketed to nearly 10% even with a massive stimulus bill that was passed because it would keep unemployment under 8%.
Here we are less than 6 months away from yet another presidential election. Rather than concentrating on that high jobless rate, those high gas prices, and the fact that this president has created a situation that has placed more people on food stamps than any other time in American history; we are clamoring for this president's opinion on gay marriage. What difference does it make whether BHO approves of gay marriage or not. That is other than the fact that he is the first President to make such a bold statement. Were the gays going to vote for the other guy had BHO not came out and said he was for gay marriage? I don't think so! But his timing on that issue was just in time for a big Hollywood fund raiser.
Unfortunately the so-called "alternative media" fell for his diversionary tactic. The right wing conspirators fell right in line with his plan by paying attention to that social issue rather than hammering on the poor economy. It's still the economy, stupid.
I literally cannot afford 4 more years of this guy as president. It is next to impossible for me to even do my job. With the gas prices as high as they are for as long as they have been, I have a hard time filling my tank to go out to do my job. With the gas prices being as high as they are, no one has any extra money to buy the things in a convenience store that I sell.
Because the unemployment rate is so high, there are so many people who cannot afford to spend money on any extras. Those extras are what fuels my pay check. Because so many people have been out of work for so long the job market has shrunk substantially. In past recessions the unemployment rate went down because after a while a substantial number of people actually went back to work. Now, the only reason the unemployment rate goes down is because the job market has shrunk substantially. Many jobs are just flat out not available any more. There are nearly 88 million people out of work. Let's look at it in simpler terms. Say at 1 time there were 15 jobs in the whole market, and 3 people needed jobs. As the economy worsens and places decide they will not be hiring as many people. There are now 10 jobs in the whole economy and 3 still need jobs. The unemployment rate actually goes down because there are fewer jobs in the market. There are no more people working than before but the percentage of workers needed for the jobs available has gone down. If the numbers weren't monkeyed with the real unemployment rate would actually be closer to 14% . For what ever reason the media wants this guy to look good so they don't report bad news. If gas prices had sustained themselves for this long and the unemployment rate was this high when W was in office the media would be screaming.
Romney is not my ideal candidate for president. He does have a business background. He does have a success story behind him for saving the Olympics. We need some sort of hope for our nation to continue to be the strongest nation on this earth. That also means that a change has to occur come November or we will become a more Socialized nation. I can easily see this guy over turning the rest of the Constitution and say it's too much of an emergency. They would have to suspend any future elections and he would declare himself leader for life. We cannot let this happen. We need the ideals of our founding fathers to hold true. We need to take back our country and adhere to the Judeo-Christian values our country was founded on. We need to reduce taxes and regulations so there is not such a strangle hold on businesses. We need to throw out the current healthcare law and forget about any idea of a government run healthcare system. Let's get American back to work and not worry about what this or any other president has to say about gay marriage.
