Our Government-Cutting Off Their Nose to Spite Their Face!

Will the Republicans Really Let the Country Fall Because They Hate President Obama so Much?

Rose Richmond

When then Senator Obama, announced his run for the Presidency, the country went beserk. There were massive protests, the invention of the Tea Party and the conservatives were circling the wagons. We had just come off of the worst 8 years, of any President to date. A WHITE man who was given carte blanche to screw the company up as much as necessary. They gave him a blank check and said, "Go for it W, We are behind you, you good ole boy from Texas"!

He started two wars, he gave the richest people in this country tax breaks and incentives to supposedly create jobs, and he made America look like a bunch of blithering idiots across the world. Yet ole Georgie and Cheney had unlimited, unchecked power to do whatever they thought, they wanted to do. No oversight, no checks and balances, just blind trust.

From the first speech President Obama made, he has said over and over, his concern was for the country. He wanted to fix the things that were wrong. Yet, every word he has said has been interpreted as hatred and un-American. He has been made a scapegoat for any wrong they didn't want to pin on Bush. The pious, self-righteous folks across the country have treated him with more disrespect, than ANY President in the history of this country. Never have people created the outright hate campaign, for any other President, America has ever had.

In the fight to raise the debt limit, Obama has been subjected to every type of protest imaginable. Self-righteous Eric Cantor continued to interupt him in one of the meetings they held. Where did this joke of a Congressman come from anyway? Smoozing with Hedgefund Managers...getting up and totally disrespecting the President? And why are they making such an issue of the debt ceiling? No President, EVER, has gone through what President Obama has gone through to get this passed. Bush(http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/04/14/158424/republican-leaders-debt-limit-hypocrisy/) raised it 19 times while he was President. Spending like crazy...creating wars and more, but he had a free pass to raise it anytime he wanted to. No discussion...no problems...why?

President Obama is not the monster, he is made out to be. America should be ashamed of the way they have portrayed our country and shown the World, how we treat our President. They have been overly critical, disrespectful and more ignorant than I have ever witnessed in my lifetime.They continue to say it is not about racism, but they will let those little pesky statements get out, like the recent ones by Michelle Bachmann, and they will fly that damn stars and bars like crazy. Not racism...sure..whatever you say, Republicans and Tea Party Nation.

The Republicans and Tea Partiers(joke) are doing whatever is necessary to make President Obama look as bad as possible. They DON'T give a damn about Americans or America. If they did, the rich would not be getting the Bush tax cuts anymore. If they did, the debt ceiling issue would be settled. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to cut Social Security(which they have robbed),Medicare or Medicaid. Now the want "Cut,Cap & Balance"! Who comes up with these names for things? This bill is the same thing they are asking for now, but with a name. This, if made into a constitutional ammendment will cut the very programs, President Obama is trying to salvage. It is not possible to do this without many unseen consequences. Unseen by us, not by the Right!

We all want the country to balance the budget! We all want the economic issues to go away! We all want what if fair and not abusive to this country! The Republicans just want to see President Obama FAIL! That is the number one concern. The Tea Party victory in November 2010, was not the mandate of America to FAIL! It was a mandate to make things work for success and growth.

They will vote to send money to people for total crap, but they don't want to make sure our Seniors, who worked and built the very country they are trying to destroy, have food and medical care.Is America ever going to learn that we can't support the World, when we have millions of homeless and unemployed here?

Have You ever read the entire poem from Emma Lazarus at The Statute Of Liberty ?

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Is This The America Today? Absolutely Not!

TV Land, agreeing with all the garbage these people are trying to push, are just ignorant of the real facts. They hear balanced budget, cuts to save money and other keywords, that are just words, and they are ready to jump on the bandwagon. Especially if it will put that Black Boy" in his place. Who does he think he is anyway? Trying to run America! What is wrong with that "boy"?

Sadly, more people are going to suffer with the mentality of the All Mighty Right! They have money and they don't care if you don't! They are not truly concerned with the State Of America and it's citizens.They give only to get tax breaks, not concern. They are only concerned with winning. Are you still crazy enough to stand by and watch the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, for the sake of winning over the "Black Man" in the White House? If you, then you deserve what ever happens.

Just remember, if you vote for the "RIGHT" and it crashes and burns, NOBODY wants to hear from you. You have your own retirement and you will be ok, right?
