Why can't he understand?

This is another of my old posts this one was originally posted, Wednesday, March 4, 2009.

I am really quite frustrated today.

Now I will make no bones about it, Yes I think George Bush was a decent President. Yes I would have preferred a republican to Mr. Obama.

But I think I am giving Mr. Obama as much credit as I can.

My issue this time is that I heard Mr. Obama blame ALL our current economic woes on the Bush Administration.

And I have to pause to admit that it is very possible, that when it came to policies like the economy, Mr. Bush could have done much better.

I will NOT deny President Obama that point.

The problem here is that at the same time that Obama is CRITICIZING the Bush administration for it's fiscal mismanagement, the economical plan President Obama is pushing is THE SAME PLAN AS THE BUSH PLAN ONLY BIGGER!!!!!

If you are claiming that the economy was "destroyed" by President Bush then wouldn't you think that continuing or increasing the same policies is foolishness in the extreme?

Let us compare shall we...

Bush advocated bailouts. Obama is pushing bailouts. Bush wanted to increase government control of the banks. Obama is trying to increase control of the banks. Bush issued stimulus packages. Obama is issuing stimulus packages.
In short Bush Meddled with the economy. he departed the republican plan for our economy and we are paying the penalty.
And now Obama is continuing down the exact same road only bigger! Bush's bailouts after all only ran to the tune of 300 Billion dollars. Obama's plan is 2 TRILLION dollars.

More than twice the spending of his predecessor.

The only real difference is that Obama can pointhis finger at Bush and say "See, see it's all his fault."

I thought we were promised change.

On that note, one more issue.

We were also promised transparency.

So far what has the Obama administration been transparent about? they have released files showing all the "bad things" the prior administration did. his own cabinet? nada.

Although, since yet another Obama appointee has proven to have tax problems, I figure everyone in our capital is thinking twice now.

It almost has to be like they are thinking "oh no if he picks me then I will get into trouble."

Seriously there has been no change. the people he keeps appointing, keep dissappointing!
He has given positions in his admin to lobbyists even though he declared his dislike for people like that. And he still refuses to see the reality that is looking him in the face.

Mr. Obama. PLEASE start making some real changes. The things you are doing so far are not change. (Certainly not change for the better.)

I think A great change would be for all the politicians to stop thinking about themselves and START thinking about the reason they were put in office in the first place.
To Serve the American people!
