Well where is the change?

This Blog comes to us from, Wednesday, February 4, 2009 (bonus at the end there is an update to the situation it talks about!)

I am a little frustrated today.

I remember that during the elections a lot of people wanted to vote for Obama because he was going to "make [their] lives better." Or they stated (as one of my own family members said) that Obama's getting elected brought them a sense of "hope".

some of these people Cried whined and complained right and left about George Bush!

"His staff was corrupt."

"He didn't help enough with Katrina."

"He drove the Economy into the ground."

"He started a war in Iraq where we didn't need to be."

So let's look at recent "presidential" events!

Yesterday two of Obama's appointments had to back out of consideration because they were found to have cheated on their taxes.

There is a major disaster (freezing and power loss in Kentucky) almost as high in death toll now (50+) as Katrina ever was And Barack Obama hasn't even gone to look at the problem let alone TRY to help.
At least George Bush was on site as soon as he could be! Where is Obama?

Obama's plan to "rescue the economy" is literally nothing more than "let's spend more money we don't have and maybe that will fix it!"
EVERY REPUBLICAN and several Democrats have already rejected the plan at least till it can be pared down some.
Even the liberal New York press has proclaimed this bill to be a disaster.

As for Iraq? we are still there. of course one could point out that (gasp) they recently had honest to goodness elections! and they were even FAIR oh my.
Something they haven't had in FOUR THOUSAND YEARS. all because the American Soldiers went over there and gave them that chance.

So where are all the whiners now?

Interestingly enough I note that many of the promises Obama made while on the campaign trail have fizzled.

He promised a full and immediate withdrawal from Iraq. (still there.)

He promised to close Guantanamo bay in his first week, nay in his first day. (nope not yet)

He promised to eliminate the don't ask don't tell policy of Clinton's. (still there)

And so the very people who he was trying to cater to from the start are becoming quite upset with him.
He is trying now to reach the part of the population who didn't vote for him and he is failing there too.
He is failing BECAUSE one, he is pro abortion and Two, he is opening our system (health care, benefits, schooling) to ILLEGAL immigrants.

On a side note (since the bit about Immigrants came up) I find it interesting to note that in the last year there have been 2.5 million American jobs lost. That's 2,500,000 Americans on unemployment who have no work.
They are trying to make ends meet on welfare!
At the same time there were 1.5 million (Yes that's right 1,500,000) NEW visa's /green cards issued for Immigrants to work here in America.

This might not seem "P.C." but, why couldn't we have denied those visa's and put 1.5 million Americans back to work? then we might not have all these big problems.

So back to my point...
I am still waiting to hear, why it is that all these people had so much hope about Obama's getting elected. where is the change... or wait I guess he didn't promise GOOD change just change.
Still it seems like business as usual in our Capitol city.





One advantage to this BLOG move, Now we are in June, while All this I reported was only a month after he took office the problem is the same factors are still in force that I blogged back then. Actually some of them are worse. Obama recently held a little get together to tell us all how wonderful things are. He did this in Nevada which state has lost something approaching 3 MILLION dollars in revenue so far this year, DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF HIS POLICIES! To say the citizenry was less than thrilled would be an understatement.
