President Obama

Unlike the TV and radio talk shows I've intentially stayed quiet about our new president so that I can sit back, watch, and see if he can bring about the "change" that everybody who voted for him so wanted. After 10 days in office it's clear that O'bama is about change, but the changes I've seen out of him aren't the ones I believe those who voted for him had in mind...Despite not voting for the man myself, I was more than willing to give the guy a chance and see what he can do-the guy does have the hardest job on the planet now, after all, and I felt he deserved some peace from the likes of people like myself. Well, after just 10 days the gloves are off-as far as I'm concerned-and now it's time to speak my mind: if this is the sort of "change" Obama meant when we was elected, we need a do-over. At first, I was liking some of O'bama's appointments to his Cabinet. Then his inauguration came up and I was totally turned off to the man because the media treated the event like it was the freaking Oscar's and O'bama was the man who won that gay ass little trophy in every category. The bowing and foot kissing of O'bama by the national media for those few days was enough to make me physically ill and made me embarassed to be a member of the media myself. Needless to say, all this nonsense hoopla surrounding Obama's inauguration (i.e. "what was Michelle wearing"; "don't his girls look cute" and "school they will attend"; "Obama and his blackberry"...) was a bad omen as far as I was concerned. But then the man himself set about to his task-and a formidable one it is given the current state of our country on all fronts. Here I had to give him a little bit of credit because he sure as hell wasted no time getting to work. The only problem is that he jumped into a shallow pond head first with his hands and feet bound together! Executive order after executive order flowed from his office in those first few days-most of which involved the closing of gitmo-and now the pressure is on to push an "economic stimulus" package through the-now-democratically controlled congress. In the midst of all of this work, Obama did something that has set the tone for his presidency. In a nutshell it was scary; and, just like the cool aid drinkers and ass kissers they are, it is something that EVERY news outlet in the country glossed right over as nothing more than a presidencial quirk: Obama, in all of his vast intelligence and in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the great depression, decided that his first television interview as President would be conducted with an Arab cable news network...Are you freaking kidding me?!!!! Is Obama that fucking stupid? I mean, please, he would have gotten better favor from people like me if he had just turned around and flipped off the entire country. Doing that interview, as his first as president, for that news network, when things are as bad as they are here, is borderline treasonous in my opinion. YES, Obama should have conducted that interview, but not freaking now!...But it get's better my friends. Obama did something early this week that raised my eyebrows even further into my ever receding hairline: Obama pushed for the release of a (supposedly) high ranking Al Queda prisoner in gitmo. Fortunately, his attempt was blocked by a federal judge. I don't know any more specifics on this 'little' story that those already stated, but if you don't find it odd that O'bama, just 10 days into his presidency, is smooching up to the middle eastern world more so than his own country, then you arent a true American. Personally, not only am I pissed and hateful toward the man now, but I'm down right scared at the direction he is going to take this country over the next 4 years...To me, his actions so far have basically said that he is more an Muslim sympathizer than a "red blooded American male" and his economic "stimulus" plan looks as if it will do no better for our economy than viagra would for a dead man. In fact, based on what I've seen in the stimulus's package current form, we can expect the U.S. economy to collapse completely within the next 5 years care of the massive debt this plan places on us tax payers shoulders...Alas, I digress...If I get any more worked up over it, I won't live long enough to see Obama's true colors come out: those of the middle eastern world, and I definitely don't want to miss that! When it happens we may institute public hangings again!
