Okay, people ask me things like "Why don't you like this or that Obama is doing?" or "Why, whats wrong with doing that?", so i am going to actually BE brief in my humble opinions...

Lets begin:

National Health Care. People who actually care about other people have been duped into thinking that this is a good idea, because nobody wants to think of someone unable to get treatment. It isnt a good idea for a variety of reasons, but here are a few. In spite of the assurances, you may NOT be able to keep your doctor. Businesses will be FINED $8,000/employee if they do not take the government option. For many employers, this would be less per employee than they spend on their own health care plan, so they will gladly kick that plan to the curb. Viola! You are now on the Government Plan. Either that, or the employer will have to fire people to make up for the cost, or pass the added expense onto their customers. Either way, not a good way to go. The government has not shown any indication that they can run ANYTHING effectively, so why should this be any different. Also, Harry Reid and other powerful Democrats have made sweetheart deals in the Senate version that would essentially make the rest of the nation fund health care in their state.

Foreign Policy. Our president is turning into Jimmy Carter faster than Carter did. He accepts a book from Hugo Chavez, he tolerates a 45 minute rant from the communist Daniel Ortega, He tells the French that Americans are "arrogant", he apologizes to the world for our attitude and beliefs, and when confronted by a madman who doesnt believe that millions of people died in WWII because they were Jewish and who wants nuclear weapons desperately, all he can do is give him his best Neville Chamberlain impression. The only people in the world who like us now are the same people who have always wanted us taken down a notch. Why is it so horrible to want the USA to be the very best nation on earth, the place where freedom loving people truly wish to go?

Cap and Trade. Frankly, i dont think too many people actually know what this is. It is legislation designed to "Green" the economy and change our methods and policies regarding power, electrical, gas, natural gas, ect. What it actually does is put binding rules and fines on many of the companies in the USA that produce power, sell gas, or even do plating of metal parts (something i am very familiar with). What it will do is triple and sometimes quadruple the cost for that company to do business. Which means that company will pass that cost down to you, and me, provided they can stay in business. If not, those jobs and products will have to move to Mexico, or China, who do not believe in/agree with the whole "green" philosophy when it interferes with commerce.

The Government will decide your pay. Kenneth Feinberg, the unconfirmed and unelected "pay czar" is already busy determining how much pay an executive can make. This philosophy comes from the idea that it is "unfair" that some people are wealthy and some are not. And if you have a high-five for Kenneth on this, remember that it is only a matter of time until the government comes up with a complete pay scale for everyone. If you have ever worked at a union shop, you understand this. Everyone who has that particular "job", regardless of how hard or not you work, gets the same pay. And this administration firmly believes in the Union Way.

I said i would keep this short, so i will. I truly believe that this administration WANTS unemployment high, because they want people dependent upon the government, just like those poor people who lined up outside Cobo Hall in Detroit to get their "Obama money". He WANTS us to be looked at by the world as just another country, not a light of liberty or a focal point for freedom. He WANTS to have government control as much of your life as possible, because by doing that he can make it all "fair" for everyone. But think of it this way: If you are in college and take a test and score 100% because you studied, and the guy behind you got a 60% because he didnt, is it fair to take 20% from you and give it to him so you both have an "equal" score of 80%? Didnt you EARN that 100%? How does making everyone mediocre bring anyone up?

I fear for the future, and I worry that our children will have to struggle much more than they should have because of the policies that we are having pushed upon us. I hope I am wrong, but maybe after the elections this year and next we will see things improve.
