What is going on with our country?...

These are strange times in the United States. And it's pretty safe to say they're not good times. Let me give you a few reasons why they're not good times. Unemployment is hovering around 10%, after nearly reaching 12%. That's a lot of folks living without a job. Any way you look at it that's tough. More often than not those jobless folks have kids. Economic growth is at the lowest level in recent history. (That, and unemployment go hand in hand.) There's an enormous amount of uncertainty amongst Americans. Uncertainty as to how the implementation of the Affordable Care Act will affect their lives. It's becoming evident as time goes by that all the president said about it is not really the way it's going to be. Such as "If you have insurance now and you want to keep it, then you can." That may not be the case. "Insurance is going to be cheaper. It's not. And the program is going to be administered by the IRS. Which happens to be mired in scandal and the lying managers and officials that are being questioned by Congress are all pleading the 5th Amendment. One who is being questioned now who is pleading the 5th, of course, has a personal friend who owns companies that have been awarded a half a billion dollars in contracts with the IRS. And of course he is on record as spearheading the award of these contracts. Strictly against policy, hell, that's against policy anywhere you might work. The NSA has been outed about it's spying on American citizens who haven't been accused or suspected of doing anything wrong. What happened to protection against illegal search and seizure? Hell for that matter, what happened to most of the protections the amendments of the Bill of Rights gives us? Our illustrious president seems to be running the country and ignoring the constitution. Didn't he take an oath to uphold the Constitution? What about lying to the American people? Hell, we've gotten so used to his lying it doesn't seem to be such a big deal anymore. And today in the news we hear that Obama is upset that the American people are upset with the government. No shit Sherlock. Do you think?...
Obamacare is one of many measures that are trying to model life in America after socialist European countries. Under O'care, the government is going to dictate what care you will and will not be getting. They will decide what the doctors can charge for the care. They will dictate what the insurance companies will pay and what coverage they will provide. Laissez-fare and health care have just been separated by a huge incision. Actually, it was more like a big slash from a meat cleaver. Now, keep in mind this bill barely, BARELY, passed Congress. While trying to sell it to the American people, Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass this bill so we can see what's in it." This was a U.S. Congresswoman that said this. No joke. When lawsuits from prescient people tried to overturn and repeal it, John Roberts of the Supreme Court, in the swing vote, voted to uphold it. Please remember that Chief Justice Roberts is a conservative jurist. Hmmm. Just what the hell does conservative mean anymore... O'care is causing uncertainty among small and large business in the country to the extent that they are refraining from hiring until it's effects are better understood. Which of course stifles economic growth and keeps unemployment high. Duh, again. The transparency in government that Obama promised when this bill was being rolled out never happened. Not even close.
Entitlements and welfare recipients have grown almost 50% since The O-man took office. I don't really need to tell you where the money to pay for that will come from, now do I?
The revelation by some poor low level NSA analyst that learned the agency was monitoring phone and Internet records for ordinary Americans has been passed off as necessary for protection against terrorism. So, let me get this straight, an insurance salesman in Detroit, an engineer in Houston, a doctor in Hoboken, a lifeguard in San Diego are potential terrorists? According to Barry, that's our story and we're sticking with it.
There's more. Lots more. Fast and Furious starring Eric Holder. Proposing Susan Rice for Secretary of State. Benghazi. They never said they needed additional security. Those good people took a bullet for America. And for your ineptness, Mr. President. May God Bless their families.
Never before in modern history has America been so polarized. Without fail, when facts are presented that put the president in a negative light, someone is accused of being racist. But in case you haven't noticed, who is usually the ones making the accusations of racism? I don't need to answer that for you either, now do I?
So where is America going to be in January 2016? No one really knows, but a lot of people know that it's not going to be a very good place... Pundits and talking heads can babble till they pass out from lack of oxygen for now. But history will tell it like it is. Or should I say, was. History doesn't belong to a political party, and isn't obligated to placate anyone. How do you think history will deal with the Obama presidency...
