OK, now Obama has changed, in just about 6 months, our country, into a what I would like to call “A New, Hopey and Change USA” The United States that my father fought so hard to defend in WWII and the Korean War is not the same! My father so proudly talks about how he fought for the land of the free and the brave, how he, working on the USS Saratoga during WWII, worked on the planes that were aboard the ship. He never has once complained about the way he was treated or how he NEVER felt second best towards any other soldiers on board. Although he was not a Capt. or a high ranking officer my father knew how important the country was to everyone he left back in the states. The US at that time, during WWII was so united over a conflict. Americans were, let’s say it, PISSED OFF, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The country at that time came together to strike back and defend the lives of all those Americans who lost their lives on that day in December of 1941. It did not take long for the Congress to approve the call for war against an enemy who had taken so many American lives. This too was true when on September 11, 2001 more Americana’s lives were taken. Our country was again, PISSED OFF, so the call to war, although our enemy was not a country or a military, it was a set of ideals that were so off of our own that it was hard to understand why they thought or how they think as they do. The enemy was taken on, as it is when the US gets angry and wants to fight back. Although the main man still is at large for the crime on Sept 11, the fight has been long and many others have been brought to answer for what they have done. Now, today we have the president, again I will never call him my president because #1 I did not vote for him and #2 he is taken the sacred position of president and turned it into an authoritarian, a presence that only tells us what we should think or feel, he will never be as Lincoln or Reagan, and even Clinton, although I did not like Clinton when he was president, Clinton was not out to destroy the country. I do not know why Obama wants to destroy the country but he is on his way for totally destroying again the land that my father so protected during the wars. Do you remember how Americans were all together after 9-11? We were not Republicans or Democrats, we were all Americans and the terrorists wanted to destroy that part of our country. Remember when President Bush took the Bull Horn to talk to those at ground zero and promised he would bring those to answer for what they had donate to our country? So now we are almost 8 years later with a new president and what does our president want from us? He complains to those in Washington, as he is on vacation in Paris, that they need to work harder, hammer those nails, work harder to get the job done. He is the president of the teleprompter! SO now I go back to my father. He never complained in all those years he protected the country. He knew what he had to do. Although my father voted for Obama, he would not listen to me, being the youngest what do I know, he got sucked in to Obama’s promise of change. My dad had no idea of what kind of change he was actually going to get. But one thing is true, he did not sign up for the change that Obama is giving us now. Obama tells us to cut back on everything from gas, to electricity. Yet Obama is flying to Nevada to help campaign for a Senator who has no chance of winning another term. Good old Henry Reed better change his tune quickly or he will not have a prayer to get reelected. Then Obama flies to Paris for another vacation and tells Washington to work harder. Obama has had more vacations in his 6 months of office then I have had in the last 10 years and yet he is telling us we have to cut back.? What happened to all the billions of dollars he keeps spending on stimulus packages and such? I am so tired of Obama telling me that I need to step up and be an American or even better when Biden told us, Americans, that we should be patriotic and give more of our money to the government if we make over $250,000. Well I do not make near that amount and I still think it is wrong. Why does someone have to work twice as hard to make that kind of money just to have the government take more money away from that person. Isn’t that going to make those people who make less than $250K work less or not as hard so they will not have to pay the government more of their money? My biggest question is why so many Americans did not see this during the election. Why so many Americans just got sucked in to perhaps the maybe first black president, which I think is such a mile stone in the history of our country however, Obama’s agenda is not even what a lot of Americans thought would be his change. And they are now wondering what happened to the promises of the campaign. How people are thinking, what is this man doing? I often wonder that myself. I can not believe the dept this president has accumulated in just his first 6 months in office. More than Bush did in his whole 8 years and the dept is growing more and more. I am also so tired of Obama saying, along with his puppets, that they inherited the problems with which the country is now facing. Well perhaps some but overall Obama is making it 1,000 times worse than it ever has been in the 200+ years our country has been here. We need to do something about Obama’s agenda and let him know that we will not take it. So what does thousands of Americans did? They got together all over the country and held tea parties to let the government and Obama that we will not put up with all this spending and such. The rallies were peaceful. Basically the rallies were to show those who truly think that Obama is helping our country, that Obama is not, he is taking our childrens’ future down the drain. Those people who keep adding more and more to the dept. Then after the hundreds of rallies and thousands of Americans, those of different ethnics, economic backgrounds, male, female, children, every person was represented, even Democrats and Republicans, but probably more conservatives. After all was said and done, we have to hear from the Liberals such as Janeane Garofalo made the statement that it was all because of Obama being Black? What the hell is she talking about and where did she get this information and was she even there? She made this a whole racial issue when she spoke those words. I was in shock but yet, it came from her. My husband and I enjoy the show 24 in which Garofalo is a FBI agent and we keep hoping that her character meets a very horrible death. Yes I know that is a little childish to say something has immature as that yet if you listen to her words, it makes even more sense. This woman really thinks that all those who participated in the Tea Parties hate all blacks and yet there were many other ethnic groups who feel the same way. Hey Janeane the whole Tea Party thing had nothing to do with Obama’s skin color, it had everything to do with what is under his skin, his policies and agenda. Open your eyes and see what was really happening with those Parties. As far as I know that American is the probably the only country that allows its citizens the ability to speak against what is happening in the government. We have the right to disagree with what the people, who we voted for in office, to say something apposing views. I am ashamed to say that my mom shares the name with this woman. My mom would have lived up to her name as a loving, caring, and knew that everyone has the right to voice their own opinion and she NEVER ridiculed others for the way they felt nor would she have EVER called someone a horrible names as racist. Again Janeane you made this a racial issue. No one else cared who was at the rallies. All we cared about was that we all felt the same and we had the right to voice our objections to the government and what, how and why they continued to spend our tax dollars as if it were candy giving it to many children without justification and accountable for it all. But I digress. It is so now that we as Americans who do not agree with Obama that we stand up and continue to have our Tea Parties or whatever we need to do to tell those in government to stop this horrible chain of events. If it continues with all Obama’s agenda that our country will no longer be the land of the home of the brave but the land of the telling and the socialism agendas of Obama’s. Obama’s change is happening. He had that campaign promise coming true, although most of the Americans who voted for him did not think this was the change they had hoped for. I saw what Obama wanted to do with our country and so did what was it 49 million with 51 million voting for Obama. So now those who did vote for him are coming over to the side of the dis-enlightened. l there in his campaign. It is just a sad state we are in due to the part of the country who truly saw the Cult of Personality Obama had and still has. I hope that it is not too late. My Hope and Change is to get rid of Obama in 2012 and by that time I hope Obama has not totally destroyed Americas as we new it before 2008 and the election that changed our America.
