I am not at all surprised.
Without a jobs bill, like that of FDR's, and without any effort to secure American industry on US soil; without large tariffs on imported goods, vs. those made in the USA; without a Made in the USA revived campaign, and green jobs created immediately, President Obama is neglectful and incompetent for the task of fixing the economy. You can't base improvement on dropping Unemployment rates, as people give up or leave the workforce altogether to be supported by a spouse, and others find work abroad, if they leave without discarding family. The only people I know with jobs are young people, just out of college and people with tenure and seniority, although they are constantly under attack by the DOE and by Gov't to retire. There is rampant age discrimination in hiring and in keeping workers and there is a bias against hiring Whites, since Obama and Affirmative Action has gone too far in supporting his own. There are too many Latinos now and they deserve no assistance except from churches!
I am a "liberal democrat" but I am totally soured on the guy I thought was messianic. He does act like a traitor and a spendthrift, abusing his office to rent a Martha's Vinyard farm when Camp David already is paid for by taxpayer dollars. $20 million to rent that farm?! Who's at Camp David? Sell Camp David if it isn't being used, to pay for a camp at Martha's V inyard! The wasteful vacations and flights Obama is taking and his association with known criminals like the real estate guy in IL and now the corrupt Bloomberg, who is known to dole out nearly one billion dollars this year alone to judges and others in the most corrupt scheme imaginable with no bid contracts with no name dummy companies and PO boxes for payment, via Joel Klein of the DOE and that is just related to the Dept. of Education. It is throughout the city, NYC. By allying himself to Bloomberg and endorsing the liar and cheat who is paying for an illegal third-term in violation of term limits - a red flag!
People should rise up and demand Obama resign. I DO WANT A NATIONAL HELATH CARE OPTION< BUT NOT IF IT ONLY BENEFITS MINORITIES> that is what he is aiming at...too much influence of Farakhan and other radicals via his wife's strong influence on him. For example, the racial bias of Obama's comment about the Police who arrested his friend. He is a reverse racist and should be impeached on that alone!
Very few people overall benefit from Obamas little attempts at improving the economy, and there are not enough limitations and controls placed on those who benefit. The President knows nothing about economics, and is just a smooth-talking figurehead it seems. He lacks leadership ability and "balls" and is not knowledgeable nor competent for the job. He should be forced to resign. Biden is far more qualified, but doesn't have the same charisma. Who needs charisma? We need a knowledgeable leader, who will get things done for Americans first. Biden will be a new Truman. We will move forward. I WAS AN OBAMA FAN< NO MORE> FALSE PROMISES< EMPTY PROMISES NO MORE.
