Egoes are an amazing thing.

We have a war going on, we have Americans turning into terrorists and attacking us on our own land, we have the highest number of unemployed Americans we have ever seen, and we have the biggest energy crisis in the history of our world to deal with - all of this at the same time. You would think that the PRESIDENT would be concerned enough about these issues to do something about them.

The war, the economy, and the energy crisis were pretty much all that were talked about during the election - aside from Health Care reform. But once elected, the ONLY thing President Obama cares about is his precious Health Care reform. ????? Why does he care so much about this one issue? What happened to the other "critical issues"? Very simple. He wants to be known as the man who passed the bill that no other President could. That's it. It's his ego. He knows that he will go down in the history books for all time. He knows that he will gain millions of more "worshipers". Some would say that this is not the reason - because he's the first black President and therefore he is going to be in the history books for all time anyway. Come on now....... there will be other black presidents (which I personally think is a good thing by the way). But only one President can pass Health Care reform, and he wants to make sure it's him. He is willing to trade all of those other issues to get it too.

Remember that promise that unemployment will stay below 8%??? Remember that promise of transparency??? Remember the promise of reaching out to Americans to get their input on every major decision??? Remember the promise of seeking alternative fuel sources immediately??? Remember the promise to discontinue "politics as usual"??? Does anyone remember the campaigning at all?

Politics are as usual. Nothing new to see here. If our elected officials do what the majority of Americans want and stop this ridiculous Health Care bill, will the President wake up and start addressing the more urgent issues?

It's not that difficult. Create jobs. The rest of it takes care of itself. But if he creates jobs and makes Americans INDEPENDENT, then we won't "need" the government ....... that doesn't work for him. Think I'm crazy? I might be, but Obama has increased our unemployment by more than 25% since he took office!!! Imagine if all of those people were still working. More jobs means more money injected into the economy, which means more jobs created, which means more money injected into the economy, which means more jobs created -- all of which means more REVENUE for the government (taxes), which means a reduced deficit as well as more money for fighting terrorists at home and abroad, and it means more money for researching alternative energy sources and training doctors (because we don't have enough as its is!) ...... get it? The long-term survival of a capitalistic economy demands that the private sector run the country, not politicians.

Politicians, get out of our business.

Patriots, vote these EGO-MANIAC Republicans and Democrats OUT.

Some great math coming out of the Democratic party this week

Harry Reid actually said that this new health care bill will SAVE the country money, that it will SAVE Medicare, and that Americans are as excited as he is about the bill.

What? Is EVERYONE in DC on crack?

The facts are completely the opposite of this loon's statements. If you INCREASE taxes in enough places, you can actually throw more money at the cost of Health Care than is needed. That is what they are doing. This is called "robbing Peter to pay Paul", or "moving money from one pocket to the other", or "Obama really thinks that all Americans are as stupid as the friends of Oprah".

So we will pay for Health Care in the form of costs, both direct and indirect, in other areas. And the government is actually passing on enough increases to OVER-pay what is needed for the Health Care fund ...... thus giving the impression that the Health Care program is somehow magically reducing the budget.

You REALLY think that we are that stupid? We need JOBS created or there won't be any money to collect from us you idiots. If these losers, both Democrats and Republicans, would just put a fraction of the effort into creating jobs that they are putting in to raising our taxes just so they can say they "won" something, we would be out of this recession already.

Something's gotta give here or we will go down a road that might be impossible to get off.

Can't the loons just go camp in the top of a rare tree somewhere with a spotted owl and let us live our lives?

Back in it ....

I have been more than just a little pressured these past couple of months. I have got some HUGE personal issues and professional isues behind me now though and I am VERY excited about getting back into my weekly writing mode. Having moved further away from Charlotte this past month, I was forced to resign from my Examiner.com Sports writer position. However, Examiner is working with me to create a real estate/vacation rental column for the Asheville area. Very excited about that. I will let you know as soon as I get it finalized and get my first article out.

Also look for my next article on the main site of "Where is Our Country Going.com". The current adminstration is making it entirely too easy for Republicans to completely bash the President. But they were going to bash him no matter what, so that's not news. Independents like me are the people he needs to be concerned about. I did not vote for him, but obviously a lot of independents did. Obama has not been able to maintain the support of those independents though. Man, I have a lot to write about - VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED!! See you for now!
