I have gone back-and-forth about writing this post and have decided to go ahead and do so. I am sure there will be plenty of people that disagree with it, but as long as you are thinking, I am happy to have you disagree.
For 10 months now I have been waiting for something positive to come from the Obama Administration and still nothing! Nothing positive that is! What is worse is the piling negatives. To be fair, I will once again remind everyone that I did not vote for Obama, and in the tow previous elections I did vote for Bush(mostly because that administration paid the bills).
On to my issues:
1- the ridiculous fighting with FOX News has got to end! Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean that they are wrong! What makes me really upset about this is the issue of freedom of the press. While FOX may not be reporting the stories in a light that is always positive to Mr. Obama, there is no slander or lies. Seriously, White House, when the rest of your press pool has to side with FOX against you, you have to see that you are crossing the line!
Get over FOX News and start working on moving our country in the right direction! What happened to change? Let's CHANGE the school yard bullying and play ball!
2- Stop talking about Health Care! Just stop! Go back to the drawing table, decided what you want to put out there and do it! If what you are saying is true and health care reform will "save" the United States, then come up with a plan and do it! Stand by your plan! Do not change it weekly, daily based on public opinion, stand by what you believe and do it! If your plan does not pass Congress at least know that it was the plan YOU believed was best for the country! We have a President for a reason, to make the tough decisions, for Christ sake, start asking like the President!
3- While I understand that the taxpayers are waiting to be repaid billions of dollars in bailout money, I think the Obama Administration is walking a very fine line on there involvement in private business. You need to either take over the companies and make them public or back-off! You can not have one foot in the door here!
4- Afghanistan. It is a mess. I do not envy you for having to make the call on this one, but again, JUST MAKE A DECISION! YOU Mr. Obama are the President! The Buck stops with you! The people of this great nation need a leader not someone to read the polls to us every morning and decide our next course of action!
5- People protesting against your ideas/programs does not make them Un-American or racist, it makes them informed, concerned citizens with opinions that differ from yours and that of your administration. Remember that nearly half of all Americans did not vote for you, but you do represent them too and for them to express their concerns is not wrong, it is there right! It is what made America! Free thinkers that allow for the majority to rule. That does not mean that you step away from your beliefs, but peaceful share them!
That's it! Those are my opinions on the first 10months of the Obama Presidency. All those people that criticized, lied, challenged President Bush for 8 years are not enjoying the shoe being on the other foot! Maybe it wasn't as easy as it looked:)
