Regarding the pundits’ reactions to the new Obama Administration.
While surfing around political blogs and major news sources, I have been surprised with many writers becoming “dissatisfied” with Obama’s agenda and successes since assuming office on January 20th. They cite the earmarked bills, continued allowing of lobbyists in Washington, and the partisan bickering that has arose over the stimulus. It is very unfortunate to hear that the American public has become this jaded. The problem is, Obamarama can’t cure everything instantly. Bringing Alex Rodriguez to the Yankees hasn’t brought them a championship and he has been there for years. The fact is, Obama and his cabinet members are trying. Despite the earmarks, I believe that Obama’s budget is what is necessary to bring the country out of the deep economic crisis the last administration got us in. In order to fix the country, the administration is required to appeal to the masses, and this has both good and bad connotations.
The GOP has reactly strongly to most of the administration’s efforts for anything. Despite the realities of the spending that Obama’s budget entails, it is necessary to look past Republican’s alarmist cries about any attempt at reform the Democrats past. The Democratic Party, surprisingly, is not evil. It is not attempting to turn American into the European model of socialism (which I’m not seeing why that’s a bad thing anyways, but that’s for another time). Thanks to a majority by the Democrats in the House, Senate and now in the White House, it seems partisan politics are rampant. This is hurting any chance Obama has at fixing the problems our nation is facing us, and the bitter attitude the GOP has towards the administration is definitely one of the main reasons the public is beginning to lose a little steam on the Obama train.
Despite the GOP’s rhetoric or what the news media is saying, President Obama still has a huge amount of political capital at his disposal. He has the ability to reform the financial sector and prevent a future crisis while managing this current crisis, and he has the ability to create new jobs through economic recovery projects and a revitalization of the green sector. At the same time, he has a well-assembled cabinet to back him up on important issues at home and abroad. All in all, it is important to look at the long term. Is Obama doing everything he can? The answer is without a doubt yes. So, really, it is absolutely vital to not lose faith in Obama and allow the new administration to bring real change to Washington and secure a better future.

My friend, you are kidding me. You claim that “The GOP has reactly strongly to most of the administration’s efforts for anything.” My friend, that’s how liberals were under Bush. The truth was that the left-wing liberal Democrats “has reactly strongly to most of the [Bush] administration’s efforts for anything.” Every time Bush sneezed, he was constantly called names and made fun of. Bush’s English was being made fun of while the great old Obama believes that Austrian is a language.
Obama is screwing up the country. You praise his budget, which is going to dramatically increase the deficit that Bush was attacked for since it happened under his presidency.
The CBO estimates that the Stimulus plan will have short term stabilization and long term disaster. We will see some stabilization and a little hope. But Obama’s Socialist economic policy will make America’s economic crisis far worse. More Americans are looking at what Obama is doing. The mainstream media has been biased for Obama. No matter how much the liberal mainstream media including the CNN reporter like Susan Roesgan demonizes and harasses the tea party demonstrators, the tea party movement will grow. It’s just the beginning of a heroic grass roots movement against the Socialist policies of Barack Obama. The demonstrators have lashed out against some Republicans as well.
Under Bush, liberals said,”Dissident is patriotic.” They promoted grass roots activism. Anti-Iraq war demonstrators including Cindy Sheehan are portrayed by the liberal mainstream media as “direct democracy” and as the grass roots activism that represents the people. Here are the Tea party demonstrations. They’re presented as a sham, with CNN reports like Susan Roesgan getting out of control by hackling the demonstrators, as it is proven by video footage.
The tea party demonstrations are much more average people than any anti-war demonstration. The former are attended by thousands of people across the country. They’re everything that the left claims to stand for: grass roots dissident questioning the government. It appears to me that to the left, their grassroots activism is good and the Conservative grass roots activism is bad. When their opponents are in office, dissident is patriotic. But when they’re in office, dissident means you’re racist or you want the president to fail. When their in office, dissident means you don’t give them a chance. The American people already are giving Obama a chance by electing him. They’re figuring out that his policies stink. Obama is in office. We have no choice but to give him a chance. Obama screwed so many things up in a 100 days.
Many Republicans are sell outs. They don’t care about what’s happening to the country, but just their precious seats. The most extreme example is Arthur Spector who switched to the Democrat party.
Obama is given a change. He’s screwing up with his Socialist economic policy and his Chamberlain diplomacy with America’s totalitarian enemies at the expense of its allies including pro-democracy dissident movements.
Well’ If you believe socialism is what this country needs then I guess one would agree with the Obama administrations policies so far. But if you believe in a free America Then you need to stand up and be counted. Obama was always up front about his socialist agenda and I can only conclude that those who voted for him want a socialist government. However those of us who believe in the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights need to make sure our voices are heard before it is to late, Obama and his cronies never expected the American people to oppose His redistribution of wealth, take over of banks and industry and healthcare agenda. I’m sure They are quite confused that “We The People” value our freedom and the American republic enough to fight for it.
