Obama, while I hoped would bring change, sadly did not have any experience running ANYTHING prior to running the United States of American further into the ground. I foolishly thought maybe his lack of experience could pave a new way of doing things, but now reality has set in for not only me, but for him as well as he is seeing his big plans are not easily achieved. It's a shame really and it makes me sad. Unless he starts pulling rabbits out of his ass, by the time he is voted out of the white house, and I believe he won't make it to a 2nd term, the country is going to be BEGGING for Jeb Bush to step in and make things right. When that happens, the American people will deserve what they will get and God help them. It's the perfect storm... I mean PLAN.
I'm sooooo glad I'm watching this train wreck from abroad.

It's kind of interesting. If you watch all of his "initial plans" that are typically pretty drastic, they get watered down BIG time. The current form of the bill, which barely passed the House, does not even include some of the key sticking points that Obama was pushing for. If you take a look at other legislation that is floating around right now, you will also notice that the current form of those Bills is not even remotely close to how they started out.
Now, you have to expect this. It's part of the negotiation process. But what I'm wondering more and more is, is Obama creating these "massive changes" in Bills knowing that they will get watered down to nothing, essentially meaning that he is getting what he wants... or is Congress simply slapping him in the face?
Either way... every other week I am seeing a new "reform package" with a major price tag during a major recession heading into a 10% unemployment rate and I'm just left scratching my head. Can we stop? Just for a minute. Let's just stop spending money for a little while... get ONE "good" program to pass that will actually do something good, and then let's tackle the next problem and make it work. Instead, we are seeing half-assed solution after half-assed solution that demands MORE taxpayer dollars while "promising" more jobs. How much water can you squeeze from a rock?
In other news... Congress wants to spend three quarters of $1 billion on jets for the air force that The Secretary of Defense and The Joint Chiefs of Staff (including the Air Force) don't even want.
