As America Doomed has discussed previously, President Obama is not seizing the opportunity for changing this country. Perhaps, Obama has little influence over the Congress. Perhaps, Obama wants everybody to like him. Perhaps, Obama is so post-partisan that he doesn’t even know what he believes. Perhaps, Obama is just happy to be the first black President. Perhaps, Perhaps. In any case, Obama is missing the opportunity.
Unemployment is rising. Foreclosures are surging. Lending is still constrained. So why exactly is the Obama administration waiting to act?
If wait-and-see is anything other than a near-term tactic, it’s bound to be a miscalculation. The need for expanded relief and recovery efforts is compelling. Rather than avoid those fights, the Obama team must win them.
Certainly, Obama still believes in capitalism which is very sad. I wonder how high unemployment will have to get? How high will the deficits have to soar? How many people have to die without health care or fighting in unnecessary wars? How bad will climate change have to get? How desperate will food production and distribution have to become?
I don’t expect miracles from Obama but what I do expect is for him to criticize Congress for not acting. I expect him to be fighting for America — doing the right thing. I expect him to be a real leader which to me is speaking his mind and not worrying about the political consequences. I believe America can figure out who is telling the truth and who is looking out for America. Right now, President Obama is doing neither. And time is running out for America.
America is doomed.
The Obamanator will produce a new “ObamaNation”. By the time his first term ends, we will scream for the return of Jimmy Carter, the PeaNUT in Chief. Obama’s big thing is HealthCare reform. He is reforming nothing!!! He is simply building a new insurance company. We already have over 150 insurance companies that fund (if they feel like paying) our current Disease Management System. We are about to throw scarce and invaluable resources at disease care. No reform, just more insurance. Nothing about prevention, diet, natural healing remedies, education, physical education, exercise, organic gardening. Nothing but disease insurance, and it may not even cover everybody. In 1 to 3 years, his “reforms” will be an obvious fiasco. America is doomed!!! And if I won’t buy their shitty insurance, the “gubsamunts” will fine me $1000/year until I comply with their disease management paradigm. Once again, America is Doomed.
