I work in a location that has news going on a regular basis. It is Fox News, at least, so I don't have to listen to the likes of CNN, MSNBC or the networks, fawn over Obama, but when he speaks, even Fox broadcasts it. The more he speaks, the more I really dislike him and his agenda.
First of all, he speaks with such an arrogance. As he begins to lay out his agenda and ideas, his voices screams that he knows better than everyone in America. I really believe he thinks this way, too. He knows more than us on health care, the military, international affairs, etc. He goes on and on and on with his babble and even when he's wrong, as with the surge, he thinks he's better than us. I just really can't listen to him anymore!
Second, the way he treats our allies makes me wonder who's interest he has at heart. He speaks with such hatred and angst with regard to Iraqi President al-Maliki, but feels that what is best for our country is to sit down over a cup of tea with Ahmadinejad, Hamas and Hezbollah. If I were al-Maliki, if Obama became President, I wouldn't give the man the time of day. Does Obama realize that Iraq is now an ally?
Third, he is just so out of touch with reality and capitalism, that I just want to bash my head against the wall when he speaks. Bigger government and more taxes. I think he really thinks those things made America what it is today. He wants more government involvement in our lives from education to health care. Of course, to pay for that government intrusion, he'll need to tax all the evil people with money, but actually only those rich people who have worked for their money, not like the Democrat rich who got it the "old fashioned way" by inheriting it. I just can't listen to him anymore!
Finally, his history is so far from reality, I can't believe him in anything. He keeps talking about our military being stretched so thin and our deficits being so large. He believes President Bush has decimated our military and spent like a drunken sailor. I think he forgets that it was a Republican controlled Congress, before they went wild, that kept Clinton's spending under control and forced him to cut the size of government. It was also Clinton who cut the military so drastically that Russia now feels confident that they can push us around. Reagan would have never let them get away with it, and they wouldn't have tried. Clinton cut the military so much that we can barely fight in two small republics in the Middle East. If the Democrat controlled Congress would cut earmarks and worthless programs, as well as stop the flow of money south of the border from illegals, we'd have plenty of money.
Eight weeks. That's how much longer we have to listen to him. Surely, in that amount of time, the American people will come to their sense and tell him soundily, "We just can't listen to you anymore!"
