As another presidential election approaches, I think it is ridiculous that President Obama is still blaming Bush and the Republicans for his failures or inability to solve or improve our country’s economic problems.
Everything Obama and his left wing liberals have tried so far was the exact opposite of what was needed but made things worse. They refuse to change course or even listen to anyone who might have a better idea. Most people after discovering that they are on the wrong road will turn around and find the correct route. But not the Democrats.
It makes one wonder whether they are really that dumb or actually know better but have a different purpose — like totally bankrupting the country so that everybody has to become totally dependent on the government, therefore totally under government control like in North Korea, China or Cuba.
I think the latter is the answer as Mr. Obama, Eric Holder (attorney general) and the like know exactly what their goal is and that is to “fundamentally transform” this nation as Mr. Obama stated during the campaign in 2008. They want to transform our government into a Communist-like system such as a Marxist/socialist-type system.
Obama will do anything to pick up votes, no matter how hypocritical or maybe even illegal. Recently through an executive order, he decided to go around Congress and OK hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants or their children to stay in this country hoping to pick up the Latino/Hispanic vote. I see nothing wrong with a policy to address the issue, but it needs to be solved on a permanent basis through proper legislation rather than using these people with only a stopgap measure solely for votes, rather than having a true concern for them.
The reason I think this is the case is because he waited 31⁄2 years to do it. He saved the issue purely for political use.
Does that sound like he really cared about them or perhaps just saw them as somebody he would make wait and use down the road for his political gain?
