In my last blog entry I asked you readers to list the positive things our President Mr. Obama had done. Here are the results.
Well I don’t know what to say. There has been a big lack of posting on the blog or many emails coming to me about the yearly evaluation of our President. I asked for everyone to list the positive things he has done. As you can read on the blog there have been a couple of comments mostly just foolishness, but I will accept some of the comments as positive and ignore the profanity and out right crap. Looking at the number of folks that hit the blog there should have been many more comments about the programs and tasks the President has accomplished. Maybe like a lot of folks I know they don’t know of anything he has done.
I had 9 of my friends contact me with their remarks but as most of my friends have the same view as me, they had very little to offer other than what I had already said last month about him.
One comment that kept coming time after time was that he has toned down the cowboy shoot first ask questions later mentality. Maybe too much but that was seen as a positive.
Anther was that he seems to evaluate things, in some cases longer and maybe too long, and reach a decision with more thinking behind it. But most felt he is painfully slow and does not stick to what he and his team decided. You could not say that about President Bush. He stayed the course no matter what, maybe even when it was the wrong thing to do and should have been changed.
He does use a Teleprompter but even with that he is easier to listen to and even if he is not conveying a message correctly and his message is not convincing, he puts on a good show. President Bush stammered and stuttered and was not easy to listen to or see as he made grotesque facial gestures.
He has inspired many minorities and maybe encouraged them to make more of their lives.
But nobody has talked or noted a program that he has implemented. Yes he has tried, but so far he has gotten nothing done. We are no better off than when he came into office as far as NEW programs he has put in place. He has changed some policy but what new programs?
I think he should be very humble and admit he has made some mistakes even if he had good intentions. He should concentrate on getting the economy back in good shape, forget most of the rest of the stuff until we have more people employed.
Stop all social engineering and tell the country that we are going to have to stop the spending, cut many many programs. This will hurt but is need if we are going to ever recover. Stop talking about how we got there but what we as citizens need to do to get ourselves solvent again.
Mr. Obama is a bright young man and we all thought he would be a president with new ideas and that we would see change that we could count on. Well he was a great campaigner and he sounded good, but he is stuck in campaign mode and can’t seem to stop comparing himself to President Bush. Who cares about that? His supporters are dong the same, they are looking to blame someone else, the Republicans, the conservatives, the talk show hosts, anyone but Obama. As Harry Truman said “the buck stops here”. He has got to listen to the people. The people are upset and are trying to tell him what they want and expect. They were the same people who voted and believed in him. Why will he not listen?
In my opinion he is being advised by guys with an agenda that is way out of step with the American people. They are very progressive folks. Only about 19 percent of the voters last time think of themselves as progressive. (liberal) The rest were people who were much more moderate, but the Presidents advisors somehow think the election was in support of far left progressive principles but it was not. He has got to rid himself of these folks and replace them with more moderate advisors who are closer to the real citizens.
He is our only President, and we must hope that he can wise up and lead, not just follow some failed ideological fantasy that he seems to be bent on doing. If he does not change he will just be another Carter/Nero on history. That would be tragic for our country.
