Obama’s Administration: A Question of Reality

Obama’s Administration : A Question Of RealityBy Doc Vega

        As we appraise the indicators of President Obama’s success after his first year in office we must judge based upon several issues. How did the Bail Out program affect the economy and did it actually generate permanent jobs? How did Climate legislation impact the environment if at all as well as its acceptance by US voters? Did foreign relations improve between the United States, her allies, and the Middle East? Have any of the Obama administration’s policies been able to stem the tide of unemployment? These questions plague liberals who have continued to blame the Bush Administration for the previous eight years. Regardless of the excuses of liberals and Democrats for the present administration’s failure it comes down to a question of reality. One must remember that the last two years of George Bush’s presidency saw a Democratic majority in the house busy trying to change tax cuts into increases as they rode Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground in the name of racial equality. The detructive influence of Democratic policies were already being felt.

            A year after the infamous bail out plans were instigated, Vice President, Joe Biden and other Democrats applauded the results. As states such as Virginia, soon to lose temporary jobs created by the bailout, and California languishing in a record deficit, plead for more federal aid, once again the question of reality looms. Supposedly two million jobs would result from the stimulus package touted by Obama’s lawmakers, but job losses outweighed and exceeded new jobs resulting in a negative employment figure regardless of the 600,000 Federal employee jobs created in the first few months of the new administration which will only
serve to cost the tax payer and boost government spending. The reality of unemployment figures is even more disturbing when one considers that unemployment figures reflect on the current recipients of unemployment benefits which are only temporary and destined to expire. So joblessness is evaluated under the incorrect assumption that those who no longer receive unemployment benefits must have found a job since their data disappears from the records of state pay outs. Wrong!

            With the exposure of the East Anglia corruption and the fact that an actual global cooling trend has        been in existence since 1995, truth bursts the bubble of liberal reality once again. Democrat Barbara Boxer demanded that those responsible for breaching the e-mails of the scientists who were conspiring to falsify climate data be vigorously prosecuted while making no mention at all about what should be done with those who were lying to the world. This faulty data would have been used as evidence to penalize modern western industrial nations for their role in supposedly causing global temperatures to rise to the point of causing glaciers to melt, the arctic ice sheet to disappear, destroying natural habitats, and causing the shorelines of island nations to flood as sea levels rose. Billions would have been awarded to third world nations claiming damages against the United States, Britain, and other western nations supposedly responsible for the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. American citizens would have been plagued with carbon taxes for simply maintaining their already dwindling lifestyles. Obama’s administration would have gladly enacted such damaging legislation that would have hurt struggling Americans even worse as they desperately hang onto their mortgages and jobs. In reality is our government not tasked with the responsibility of serving its people as opposed to unsympathetically piling on more taxes for vaguely justified reasons? Just exactly what reality do the Democrats draw from when making an appraisal of their performance and actual service to the American people?

            Nations of the world have viewed Obama with a jaundiced eye as he has apologized for the actions of his own nation to leaders of the Middle East. Sarkozy of France has mocked the president while the Germans have questioned just how Obama ever earned the right to a Nobel Prize award to begin with. Greater troop numbers that he approved for Afghanistan contradict his promises of rapid withdrawal once he was elected. In reality we have been deceived by Barrack Obama whose inflated opinion of his own accomplishments far exceeds his contributions to a troubled America.

            Prevailing wisdom would dictate that the Republic of the United States be governed by its own constitution when establishing just what role that the federal government should play in guiding the nation in times of crisis. However elements within our very own country have seen fit to attempt a cultural take over of American ideals. People like Rahm Emmanuel, Head of White House Staff, who has made disparaging statements such as,the first amendment is highly over rated, as well as referring to segments of Democratic support being retarded. Czar, Cass Susstein, has commented that Americans are too egotistical to be converted into socialism, just as former Czar, Van Jones, sympathized more with Muslims who would face America’s wrath after the 9-11 tragedy than with the more than three thousand American victims themselves. All this illustrates that within the US government are those who would willingly undermine and destroy our way of life under the guise of an American political party simply for their own personal gain. The reality is that we must be prepared to guard our nation from the frivolous promise makers who would cheat, lie ,and steal in order to transform our country into just one more third rate socialist regime unconcerned with such notions as liberty, individual freedoms, and free enterprise. The reality that Democrats and liberals perceive is delusional in view of the fact that they think they can get away with lying to the American people. I fear that a dreadful backlash is in the making.
