RSSObama Already Knows Who He Will Be Running Against In 2012
Carl Andrews | November 5, 2009
This shouldn’t come as a big surprise to anyone.
It’s not like It’s a deep, dark political secret.
Actually, it should be fairly obvious to everyone.
In 2012, Barack Obama will be running against the same man he ran against in 2008.
No, not John McCain.
The man Obama ran against in 2008 is the same man he will run against in 2012, George Bush.
If the truth be told, he is still running against Bush.
As the Democrats suffered huge losses in two states that were firmly in the Obama column in last year’s Presidential race, Obama traveled to Wisconson to give a speech.
During his remarks, President Obama had this to say:
His administration faced a “financial crisis that threatened to plunge our economy into a Great Depression, the worst that we’ve seen in generations.”
“We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world.”
In other words, it’s all George Bush’s fault.
With all due respect Mr. President, it’s time to step up to the plate.
We all know that President Obama didn’t walk into a job where he wouldn’t be facing any major problems.
On the other hand, Mr. Obama surely knew what he would be facing.
A financial crisis?
Millions of people are out of work, thousands more continue to lose their homes, the stock market is still in the tank, retirement accounts are still losing money.
Just this week, the Senate passed a bill to extend unemployment benefits.
And in their infinite wisdom, they also tacked on a provision giving a tax credit to first-time home buyers.
President Obama, how in the hell is someone going to buy a house if they don’t have a job?
Record deficits?
Between this administration’s out of control spending, not to mention the pricetag we will face if the health care reform package passes, America’s federal deficit will reach levels undreamed of by even the gloomiest economic forecaster.
Two wars?
We still have two wars, and we are not one step closer to resolving either conflict than we were the day you took office.
Yet as President Obama focuses on passage of health care reform, members of America’s military continue to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, because the President doesn’t want to come to a hasty decision about a request to send additional troops.
Again, with all due respect Mr. President, American soldiers are being killed!
America has managed to survive for over 200 years without nationalized health care, a few more weeks wouldn’t make that much of a difference.
Instead of worrying about if someone can get a free doctor’s visit, focus instead on this country’s young men and women who are giving their lives in a foreign land.
Pull all of our forces out, send more troops, don’t send more troops, but in the respect of all that is decent and honorable, make a decision!
Frayed alliances?
Does the President really think that traveling to various countries and apologizing for the so-called “mistakes” of America has made us the darlings of the world?
The leaders and citizens of most of those countries are laughing behind the President’s back, while North Korea and Iran, two nations run by certifiable nut cases, continue to work towards building a nuclear arsenal.
Yes, President Obama did inherit some serious issues.
However, he asked for the job.
America gave it to him.
It’s time that he stop blaming the guy who had the job before him for everything that he has failed to fix.
And before all of you who will send a comment saying “Well, give the man a chance, he’s only been in office for a year” respond to this article, do us this favor.
Point out where the unemployment rate has dropped, where the stock market has rebounded, where federal spending on dubious programs has been cut back, or where President Obama has made any significant progress towards getting America back on it’s feet.
Those of you who call Iraq and Afghanistan “George Bush’s wars’s” point out where we are any closer to seeing the end of the carnage.
Show us where the threat of a terrorist attack has been significantly reduced.
And when you have failed to do so, it will be time for all of you who apologize for President Obama, as well as the President himself, to face one cold hard fact.
George Bush isn’t President anymore.
