This recent election has me seeing red. I want to swear a lot (you've been warned). Not because the Republicans killed in the election, but because America is SO misinformed, and even more than that...they're ignorant.
Listen. Obama didn't create this economy. He inherited it. He didn't start this war. He inherited it. Everyone is misplacing the blame. The economy cannot be turned around in such a short amount of time. It took years of fucking it up. It is going to take at least that long to turn it around. Going downhill is a lot easier than going up.
Democrats have no loyalties. Change can't happen overnight. Because Obama hasn't created a miracle, they jump ship and vote for the other side or, worse, don't vote at all. Democrats can't get anything done because they don't have the passion the Republicans have. The Republican policies may not be the same as my own interests, but at least they're dedicated and devoted to their beliefs. Most of them are STILL defending the Bush administration. I am sure I can think of another word besides loyalty for that, however. I can't say the same for the Democrats. They turn their backs on their own party quicker than change can even be thought about. I'm giving a big F-U to Democrats right now. You fucked your own President!!
Republicans, I hope you stop blaming Obama for everything and start working on solutions with him. I, for one, am tired of hearing the anti-Obama bullshit. Hoping and planning that he fails is anti-American. That's not what's best for this country. If you want this country to regain the power it once held, and has been losing for the last 6 or so years, then come together with him and find a common ground. Stop the "we're taking back our country" bullshit. Get over your egos and your own political agendas and political parties, and do what's best for the country. And stop trying to take credit for everything good in this world. You're not without flaws.
I really hope the Republicans see how hurtful the Tea Party is going to be for America. This group creates anger, hostility, and a bad feeling overall with Americans. They are a bunch of crazy extremists, which isn't good for anyone. Republicans, that Tea Party is giving you a bum rap. Get rid of them.
My own feelings about this election isn't that I'm angry because Republicans won. I'm angry about the stand that many have taken that is anti-American. To want to make sure the President only serves one term is not patriotic. It's not wanting what's best for our country and it's WANTING THE PRESIDENT TO FAIL, which means AMERICA FAILS.
FIND A BALANCE.
It's funny that you say that Americans are misinformed and ignorant. The only misinformed and ignorant people are those who jumped on Obama's bandwagon, got all wrapped up in 2008 election "hoopla" and then were no where to be found afterwards.
ReplyDeleteLet's go back to the Clinton administration. The economy was in the toilet, midterm elections rolled around in 1992 and Republicans took charge of the House and Senate. Clinton decided to save his political life and move towards the center of the Democratic-Republican drama and instead of being an obstructionist, worked with Congress to pass several successful pieces of legislation. The economy took off. Bubba got hummers in the White House and the rest is history.
Let's hope your buddy Barry Obama decides to do the same. Go to the center, not get serviced in the Oval Office. If he chooses to dig his heals in and partakes in a congressional quagmire, then he'll two follow the fate of one term wonders like Jimmy Carter.
Obama did inherit this economy. However, he led the charge to pass his crown jewel Obamacare instead of trying to fix the economy. People want jobs. Losers want free health care. He had a choice to follow the will of the American people but went on to worry about his legacy instead. You can't look the other way when 70% of the American public didn't want health care reform. The Democrats are reaping what they sow.
Kudos to you for calling out your no-show Democrats. Did you vote?
That's what I said, Michael, that I'm frustrated with the Democrats because they don't stand behind their vote. They bailed on Obama as soon as things weren't happening as fast as they wanted.
ReplyDeleteSo the Republicans are what made Clinton a successful President. Who else... Now the Republicans will get things passed and take credit for Obama's success like they did with Clinton. You know, the same Republicans who blocked it all from happening the first two years.
Of course I voted.
You can trace our best years as a country when Republican's control all or a portion of congress. The same can't be said when Democrats are in control. Plain fact.
ReplyDeleteRepublican's didn't block anything from Obama in the first two years because they didn't have a majority in either house. Everything Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress wanted to pass they did. American's hated it and they all paid a price.
