I know I'm right, do you know why... because so far the fear and paranoia crowd has been WRONG.
To paraphrase a previous post, Bendy: "Fear and paranoia is a tired *** excuse."
Oooooooo....
Wrong about the economy, wrong about Obama's ability to handle a crisis, wrong about his ability to negotiate with world leaders, just wrong all the way around.
I'll give you one out of the three. He handled the Somali pirate situation very well, but with the way he spoke about it he pulled the trigger(s) to end the situation. Oh... anyways.. good job.
Perhaps if the ones who are hollering and screaming would give the guy a chance, a benefit of the doubt, or in the very least CREDIT. There wouldn't be as much to worry about...
Giving someone credit is a higher honor, let's say, than giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Look at the operative words here; "credit" and "doubt". Banks don't lend money on a principle of a doubt and you don't recieve credit when your credit report is doubtful. Maybe you meant the operative word here to be "least".
So we're on to chance. I've given him a chance and right now with the woes that many Americans face these days, we (as a unified front) cannot bank on chance.
For all the problems America faces, its citizens do not have the time to give Obama a chance.
Americans should not just trust that Obama knows what he is doing. Political dithering should not be accepted on the basis that he eventually will get done what needs to be done. There are plans and policy proposals out there for doing what needs to be done now.
It does not make sense to give any president or leader no matter who he or she is a chance especially when giving that chance means letting a president or leader placate a public with wishful thinking, especially when it means brushing aside and hushing the populist rage that is currently inescapable in America.
Look at the facts.. 98% of the people complaining (INCLUDING YOU) ARE GETTING A TAX CUT. The tax increase on the wealthy, is STILL LESS THEN WHAT IT WAS UNDER REAGAN...
During the campaign Obama promised a tax cut to 95% of working families. This brought up the question of how you deliver tax cuts to people who don't pay income taxes .. and that includes about half of the 95% of Americans Obama was schmoozing. Now Obamabots are trying to get around this little factual inconvenience by reminding you that these people pay Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes. But wait a minute! I thought that money that goes to Social Security wasn't a tax, it's a contribution! What does it say on your paycheck? FICA? That's "Federal Insurance Contribution Act." This is really an insurance premium, not a tax, so what's really happening here is that Obama wants to give those more likely to vote for him a free ride for their Social Security. That turns Social Security into a pure welfare program. Ditto for Medicare.
So .. .when Obama says "tax cut," he really means "welfare check." A government handout. Your money seized from you and given to someone who didn't earn it ... or your children and grandchildren hit with a debt they'll have to repay later.
This is the new definition of a tax cut. And we have Barack Obama to thank for it, not to mention a compliant media ... a media that refuses to expose this government-speak.
He's bringing BALANCE to the American force... why on Earth would he WANT our economy to fail or want to tax the **** out of people? I really wish, ney.. HOPE people wake up and quit slamming the guy just because they didn't vote for him and see for themselves... HE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
The Age of Obama... gotta love it.
Of course Obama is on my side, my right side dipping his mits into my pocket, placating me with speech of wishful thinking with errr's and ahhh's a'flurry, and his left hand behind his back with his finger crossed.
I know a snake when I see one.
