Admiration or Worship?




Counting this latest cover with Michelle Obama on the cover, this will be the 21st time that an Obama has graced the cover of Time Magazine. That's right 21 TIMES!!!
Given that The President hasn't DONE anything yet isn't it a little premature to make him King? I mean sure he is a handsome, black gentleman with a gift for using teleprompters , I mean giving speeches but what has he accomplished? BESIDES taking over the financial industry, apologizing to every enemy of America, funding abortions overseas with our taxpayer money and nationlizing the automobile manufacturing industry.
Look, if he ends up being the guy who turns this mess around and brings America back from the brink then sure, let's name some schools after him. But we might want to wait to see how this all ends up. Otherwise, Time as well as a certain segment of the population is going to look awfully stupid later on down the road.
By the way, can anybody tell me what "The Meaning of Michelle" is supposed to mean? Should we canonize her? Should she now be known as St Michelle, The Patron Saint of those without (designer) Shoes? This is all getting a little ridiculous and someone's going to end up with egg on their face.
You need to stop the worship of these two and hold them accountable. Sure, they are the first African- American's to reside in The White House. I know, believe me, I know. That one fact seems to be the most important thing about these two according to some out there. Sooner or later though you need to put down the Kool-Aid, stop the infatuation and realize that they are playing for keeps here.
Think about this for just one second: Including the debt that the Federal Reserve has recently bought up, our government, YOUR government, has borrowed more money in the last 6 months than in the previous 30 years. The catch phrase inside the Beltway these days is "Trillion is the new Billion". However, let's not forget that someone is going to have to pay that bill.
Let's stop the worship of the Messiah and make this man tell us why he feels the need to saddle the next TWO GENERATIONS with crippling debt. Would you abuse your own child? Then why let a stranger do it? This is government sanctioned child abuse and we are standing by and letting it happen.
Who is going to be next? What other bailouts are coming down the road? What happens when the debt load is so large (some say it is already) that the only way to pay it back is to raise interest rates. What are you going to say to your children and your grandchildren when they tell you that they can't afford to own a home because the interest rates are in the double digits?
There is a wave of crippling inflation coming and it will be painful for the large majority of Americans. Expecially those without disposable incomes. You know, the MIDDLE CLASS. Those folks that Obama promised he would help out and who probably got him elected because of that promise. They will get hurt the most.
If you are NOT outraged at what is going on then A. You don't understand the stakes B. You don't care or C. You think we are heading in the right direction. Well, there is a sign up ahead people and it's says DANGEROUS ROAD AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
It's high time some of you heeded that advice. This train is going to wreck sooner or later, that's a fact. The question is can we stop it in time. Unless we demand that our government STOPS BORROWING and SPENDING money we don't have we won't see a change. Even the Prez admitted as much. As stated in a Bloomberg article on May 14th:
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.” Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
So if he KNOWS this to be the case then WHY is he proposing that we spend and borrow more money? Is anyone out there paying attention? Have we completely just checked out? Have we thrown in the towel on America already?
If this continues we may need to rewrite our most precious documents to read that we are now a People Of the Government, By the Government and For the Government. There is still time left but the sands are running out of the hourglass at an alarming rate. It's up to us, ALL of us.
