Of course most polls blame the Republicans. Obama spent the last 4 years demonizing them. And he’s good at blaming everyone else for his incompetence. (Bush, Rice, The CIA, Romney, Fox, etc). Obama is out to eliminate his opposition, not just beat them. (Check his electoral history) He’s an arrogant bully who knows/cares nothing about the economy but will do anything to maintain power and grow the government. His divisiveness is appalling. Yes he won, but by little more than half. The other 49% of the country voted against him. Obama ‘s criticism of Bush was that “to raise taxes in a bad economy is unpatriotic” and now he’s raising taxes. Does mainstream media call him on this? He promised a ‘balanced’ approach in negotiations but now won’t budge an inch on the entitlements that are breaking the back of the country. (Again, where is the press on this?) He originally asked for $82 billion in new taxes and now it’s up to $1.2 plus another $50 stimulus plus, plus, plus but no mention of dealing with cuts except maybe “next year.” Right! (The criticism in mainstream media is making my eyes bleed.) It will be interesting to see if Republicans fall for that one again. He’s the leader. It’s up to him to bring the parties together but he possesses neither the skills nor, I dare say, the desire. <br /><br />He hasn’t produced a budget but runs trillion dollar deficits every year and will continue to do so. What about the potential $20 trillion debt rings deaf in Democrats’s ears? Is it a joke our children will find hard to laugh at? Look at Foreign policy. He’s turned the Middle East into a chaotic mess and then runs off to Myanmar to do what? Push for the same “success?” I’m still waiting to find out where he was during the 7-hour Benghazi attack. Where’s the “situation room” photo on that one?<br /><br />Do we have time to ridicule the opposition and demonize Fox when we’ve put the world’s largest economy and the most powerful military in the hands of an incompetent fool? Of course, I blame mainstream media who continue to prop him up. I know that whoever isn’t watching Fox is not getting the full story. I’d call the talking heads on ABC, NBC and anyone else who holds a different point of view a bunch of idiots but I don’t want to sound like a Democrat! Aren’t they the party of civility? After all, Obama called for it. Too bad as a leader, he doesn’t set a better example. <br />Maryann<br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-32391885941558662852012-12-06T16:05:54.388-08:002012-12-06T16:05:54.388-08:00My Fox watching, Limbaugh listening brother in law...My Fox watching, Limbaugh listening brother in law is on Medicare, collecting a state ppension and social security and he bitches about 'entitlements"....he is a proud, god fearing, patriotic, life-long Republican.Jagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-35464233381765695182012-12-06T15:45:11.497-08:002012-12-06T15:45:11.497-08:00Finally, something is said.
