The Un American President

This was the week that the silent majority awakened from a somber sleep that has allowed someone to attain the highest office in the land who in my opinion is un American. Hard working people, that mind there own business, take care of there families and usually let well enough alone, took to the streets in the form of Tea Parties. The tsunami of events that have transpired since October 1, 2008, till now are making everyone take notice. Trillions of dollars in lost wealth in the markets, government bailouts of banks and large corporations, government takeovers of publicly held companies and government borrowing of trillions upon trillions of debt without explanation has instilled a fear that has paralyzed the economy. We are at a stand still from fear itself.

Why am I afraid? The way I see it Government created the problem. They forced banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford them and did not have the ability to pay them back. This was start of the Housing bubble. Create a greater demand and inflated prices will ensue. The Federal Reserve and Congressional oversight took a blind eye to how financial institutions were disposing of these toxic assets which eventually contaminated the entire financial system. Government then states that the entire world economy is in jeopardy if immediate action is not taken within the week we are doomed, thus the TARP was instituted. These actions were not the responsibility of the current President , however, the man he appointed Treasury Secretary - Timothy Geithner was the architect of this scenario. I fault the Bush administration for rushing this process all in the name of expediency without questioning what the ramifications would result. The Markets become totally unsettled and I along with everyone else loose 30-40% of our wealth in such a short period of time. The question comes what do we do now? Result was the electorate decides to vote for hope and change without any substantiating evidence other than speeches.

During the transition the Markets settled and began to rebound only to collapse once inauguration and this administration began to unveil there agenda all in the name of recovery. Again all the little financial gains are quickly evaporated. All the presidents men continually bombard the airwaves of doom and gloom. Large and small businesses see there sales decline 30% and higher. Layoffs begin to mount into hundreds of thousand per month with no end in sight. Unemployment is 8% to 10% depending on which part of the country you are in. The question has to be why was this fear allowed to prevail unless it was contrived and wanted in order to achieve an ultimate goal?

Rahm Emmanuel, the President's Chief of Staff, continually boasted" that you can never let a crisis go to waste". The calamity that the American people along with the rest of the world was something that could not go to waste in the minds of this administration. With each passing day crisis upon crisis are revealed to the public for the sole purpose of passing multi trillion dollar " Stimulus Package". Nationalizing banks and Auto Industry are being floated about, along with National Health Care, Cap and Trade for the purpose of expanding unions and global warming nonsense. This excessive reach by this President in just 100 days can oly be summized that he wants an immediate change in the culture of the United States. Why would someone want to change the most successful prosperous country that the world has ever seen? Especially to change it in the image of our European counter parts.This makes no sense to me.

The vetting process was not done and if it was it was not revealed as to who this man is? What do we know of Barack Obama? He was born in Hawaii ? He has only produced a certificate of live birth but refuses to make public his actual birth certificates, Many court cases have been filed with still some pending in the Supreme Court. As a child he was raised and educated in Indonesia and was influenced by the Muslim Madras schools. Once in the United States he became a product of Affirmative Action education in his college years. Again he refuses to disclose any of his college records. His life has remained sealed to the public, yet he says that he wants a very transparent administration. Double standard anyone!

How does he view " We the People"? His Homeland Security Secretary just released a memo that highlighted " Operation Vigilant Eagle" which states that veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan should be monitored for they may have tendencies to fall into the extremist category of the right wing of the United States. Also those of us that listen to Conservative Talk Radio , are people of faith and took part in the Tea Parties are also extremist that should be monitored. Is this someone that when he took his oath of office to up hold and defend the constitution of the United States is one that believes in "We the People" or just some of the people some of the time.

His recent trips overseas, he continues to diminish and be apologetic for the United States being the United States. Why is he ashamed of this country being the greatest economic engine of the world? Does he feel guilty for our standard of living ? Yet he sure likes the perks that the citizens of this country pay for to experience a new life style that he could have never achieved on his own. Somewhere in this short journey, He has concluded that his vision of economic equality is what we seek. To be an American is about being given the opportunity to achieve what ever someone wants to achieve if they are willing to work hard without a great deal of Government interference. This President appears only to believe in Big Government getting bigger. This country was founded on the premise of limited government. The past 100 days has been Government, Government and more Government, I like many others can only conclude this man is America's first " Un American President"
