Why Obama isn't good for America

It has nothing to do with the fact that he's black. Or the more politically correct term African American. Who effing cares that the guy is black? I agree that it is monumental that America elected a black man as President. Even though I didn't vote for him or want him to become President, part of me was proud that Americans voted on what they thought was best without bringing race into it. So no, it's not because he's black.

The reason is b/c he's ruining what the United States stands for. If you've forgotten, go read the Declaration of Independence. "All men are created equal". Yes, but this person is a minority and was born into a broken home. How is he equal to a white boy who is born into a wealthy family and won't have to work for his entire life? Bullshite. You can be anything you want to be. You may have a harder time than someone else, but you can do it. Everyone that is born in this world can do something great, no matter what country they're in.

The United States was already in the ground when Obama was elected. He's just pounding Uncle Sam further into the ground. I am so mother-f-ing sick of hearing "I inherited blah blah blah". Dude, has any president been happy with what his predecessor left? Come on. I liken it to "but it's not my fault" when my son tells me why he didn't turn in his homework. To Obama I would say get the eff over yourself. Do what you PROMISED to do in the election. Oh that's right, you lied.

On Thursday night, Obama promised 30 billion MORE of our dollars to banks so they could give loans to small businesses. Essentially the government is telling the banks what they will do. Isn't that everything that we DON'T stand for? Like my husband has said, the banks have plenty of money. They just don't want to loan any out b/c they're scared. Scared of losing money. Which is what any business doesn't want. All businesses are in the business of making money. But now Obama is going to give more money and direct the banks where it needs to go.

I could go on and on. And I probably will. I'm done censoring myself so I don't offend anyone.

The bottom line is that by the time my kids are my age, the United States is going to be everything that the Founding Fathers fought against becoming.

Word.

I'm done listening to Obama (not that I ever really did to begin with). And it has nothing to do with him being black OR a democrat. I just get sick of watching him promise the moon and deliver dick.

The irony is, at the time of the declaration, slavery still existed in America, but I guess it's easier to forget that part.

Holly- Just don't watch the Super Bowl Pre-game show because they are going to have a live interview with him.

Karen- After a little research, I see you are from a country that enslaves you from January to July just to cover your tax obligation. You are correct that slavery existed during the early part of this great country's life, but nearly 620,000 Americans died during the Civil War. I have started to get tired of hearing how horrible the United States is. I will be happy to discuss/debate with you about the issues Casee laid out in her post, however, I take offense to people that spout off with little to no knowledge or facts about the issues.

Jack, you're gonna have to elaborate doll, because honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about. As for our tax burden, well put it this way, I've never had a problem paying my taxes, because it's something most of us who live here have to do.

You are correct that slavery existed during the early part of this great country's life, but nearly 620,000 Americans died during the Civil War.

And I'm sure the slaves were grateful to those 620k people who died, but it still doesn't make my comment any less true. At the time that Thomas Jefferson was talking about men being created equal, he owned other human beings. That's just a fact.

I have started to get tired of hearing how horrible the United States is.

I'm pretty sure I never said the United States was horrible, and seeing as I live in a country that "stood shoulder to shoulder" with yours, you can bet that Britain isn't looked upon any more favourably than America by the rest of the world.

You do see the irony in that statement don't you?

As for debating the issues, well I'm pretty sure that will lead to absolutely nowhere, because I suspect that you and I stand on opposite sides of the fence, and no amount of debating will change that. I'm slightly left of the middle, and if I was to guess, I'd say that you were all the way to the right. Not a good combination methinks.

I'll stick to debating with Casee, at least I can appreciate where she's coming from, even though I totally disagree with her, politically.
