"You Asked and We Listened"
Obama Out of Touch
In an interview with Politico published over the weekend, President Obama drew comparisons on the effects on the American psyche of the BP oil spill and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. To drive the analogy even further, he followed up that interview by addressing the nation from the Oval Office for the first time in his presidency in an attempt to assume the image of a war time leader.
There is no comparison that can be drawn between the deliberate, pre-meditated attacks of 9/11 and the accidental explosion that caused the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And there certainly is no comparison that can be drawn between the response of the Bush Administration to 9/11 and that of the Obama Administration in the weeks since the spill began. President Bush found his purpose as a war time president in the months after our nation was attacked, and rallied our people with speeches from a rubble pile in New York City and before a joint session of Congress. President Obama, on the other hand, responded to the oil spill by waiting almost two months before finally holding a meeting with BP execs yesterday at the White House, and delivering an empty speech from the Oval Office that was widely panned by even Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.
The Obama Administration’s failure to respond in an effective way to the oil spill dispels the delusion of the Obama world view that there is no problem that can’t be solved by more government.
The jobs numbers can’t be tilted upward by temporary census workers and hundreds of billions of dollars of borrowed spending. Health care can’t be reformed by putting bureaucrats in charge instead of families and doctors. And while President Obama shouldn’t be blamed for the spill itself, even the New York Times has taken him to task for a federal response described as ‘chaotic.’
We knew from his failed stimulus bill that the president was out of touch on the jobs issue. And we knew following the ObamaCare debate that he was out of touch on health reform. Now we know he is actually out of touch with reality, and the citizens of the Gulf Coast are paying a high price for his Administration’s failure to respond to the challenge of the oil spill.

The fact that President Obama's stated campaign goal was "income redistribution" (to those who it belongs to) and his wife emphasized: "Barack is going to make changes as fast as he can and Americans will not like it, but it will be good for them." To me, this explains every action that he is taking ... using disasters to divide people, creating chaos, rough riding corporations (he thinks they are evil ... guess what Obama, they hire people and we need jobs) ... oh yes, "the jobless recovery" -- who ever heard of this type of brainwashing and "some people" believe it. It's a strong word to use ... but, taking away our freedoms, creating fear, eliminating the elderly medicare security and social security - these actions are evil. They have a self-serving goal by a President who comes from a totally different viewpoint. Those first ten formative years before he moved to Hawaii -- certainly eroded his sense of patriotism. The vulgarity of spending millions, billions, trillions ... day after day, is ignorant with an evil plan. Something that most americans will not enjoy, prosper or find enriching.
