1 YEAR OLD PRESIDENCY
Posted by Ella Moss on January 20, 2010
Obama has been our president for 1 year now, and he already got a bum rap. Everyone is discussing how disappointed they are.
Don’t we just love creating celebs and then tearing them apart?
This guy’s major mistake was going for the presidency to begin with. Only a truly crazy, truly stupid (remember that other one?) or truly idealistic person would go for this most thankless job in the world.
Since Obama is obviously sane and smart, he must be too idealistic.
His second major mistake (according to many TV pundits) was saving us from THE GREATEST DEPRESSION and cushioning our financial fall.
Why was that a mistake? According to the TV pundits, this was a mistake because 1) he continued many policies initiated during the previous administration (not enough change), 2) he moved too much to the left (? was not it his platform when he was running?) and created bigger government.
(Personally, I don’t know what else he could have done, when the government was the only one left with the money as banks and insurance companies were collapsing left and right , but I am no pundit)
His third mistake was trying help those stupid insured and uninsured Americans whose medical expense soared and coverage did not hold very well. That did not go too well or too smoothly, or whatever. Does anyone know what’s in that health care reform bill?
(Personally, I don’t think Americans need it at all, since all I am hearing that they would rather pay $30,000/ yr for their medical insurance for a family of 4 -yes, I personally know such a family – and then keep their fingers crossed that their insurance would pay their medical bills when they get sick)
His 4th major mistake was apparently sending troops to Afghanistan after all that peace talk and the Nobel peace prize. Apparently, we are so tired of war, that we don’t care if the terrorists are not.
Oh, yea, the 5th major mistake was not personally watching who was getting on the plane in Nigeria (remember that guy with a bomb in his underwear?)
It is obvious, he has gotten nothing right, and now he is a lame duck.
I’m sure many are guessing now that Haitian earthquake would not have happened otherwise.
What we needed as our president in times like these was a MIRACLE GUY. You know, the one who could give everyone a $100,000+ job, instill brains in every kid born in America, abolish all illnesses, turn every criminal into a born-again righteous Christian and instill immediate peace on Earth.
It’s too bad that no one like that bothered to run. But then, again, the last MIRACLE GUY we know of was crucified on the cross.

I also appreciate your work Ella and I too thought Obama was a great man in a time of peril, however I just watched a documentary called “The PresidencyXXXX”, which I highly recommend, and it opened my eyes to the facts. Obama is worse than Bush as he has reached celebrity status and capured the hearts of millions of people but is just another puppet committing treason. I am not trying to slander anyone and again would like to praise your work Ella but think that the people NEED to know the facts of what is happening to the Government.

How sad that there are people in this country like Bryn, so gullible that they are ready to trust those Egotistical Vicious Ignorant Liars republicans that almost
1) impeached B.Clinton (a great leader who brought the country peace and prosperity) for private indiscretion,
2) manipulated elections of 2000,
3) “swiftboated” a Vietnam hero J. Kerry in 2004,
4) destroyed the world economy (let’s face it, the global financial crisis started here) and
5) destroyed a foreign country just for kicks, etc…
And Americans (not all, thank God) keep on buying these lies. 8 yrs of republicans, and we almost have no country left, but people still believe them (like “the government keep off my medicare” -ha-ha). Now they are spreading the rumor that stimulus did not work. Well, if it did not, we would have THE GREATEST DEPRESSION EVER. Unfortunately, this country is full of poorly educated ignorant people like Bryn. So here we go again. Let’s elect Sarah Palin and become a poverty stricken laughing stock of the world for good.

I am confused at how my comment was interpreted. I merely wanted to inspire others to watch this documentary. I admit I have been very gullible and ignorant but am learning more and more daily to process ALL the information I intake and make my own decisions. Have you seen this documentary I recomended? Not that I believe every word of it, but I do believe it contains a lot of truth and has evidence to back it up.
Ella Moss said
I would not have dignified this with response in the first place, but then I thought of John Kerry who thought he should not dignify “the swift boat” attack ads. And people like Bryn mistook his silence for agreement. They must have thought: well, there are swift boats, and people who were or could have been there, so “it contains a lot of truth and has evidence to back it up”. So they no longer trusted J. Kerry and they voted for the guy who paid and lied himself out of service to his country instead of a decorated Vietnam war hero .
If people like Bryn (and there are so many of them) were told that Obamas eat white children on Sundays, they would believe that too.
The real problem is not the Egotistical Vicious Ignorant Liars republicans who win over their opponents by drugging them through the mud, but people like Bryn, because each nation deserves the government it gets. I deserve Obama. Bryn deserves Bush and Sarah Palin. But if we get Sarah Palin as our next president, I am running away to Canada. I don’t want to be part of the nation of Bryns.
