Why doesn't Obama listen to the American people?

Asked By: The *Cheeky* Paper bunny boo - 9/11/2010
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Barack Obama is a colossal failure. He has done EVERYTHING wrong. Every decision he makes poisons our country. To save America, we must do the opposite of everything Obama is doing.

1. Obama has wasted $819 billion of our tax dollars on a failed stimulus package and trillions more on bailouts. He is committing generation theft, putting our children and grandchildren in massive debt. Now he wants more. We should ban stimulus, bailouts and earmarks. They are nothing more than pork barrel spending to buy votes and reward his Democratic political cronies.

2. Obama is imposing the biggest income tax increase in history, placing most of the tax burden on small business owners. We should do the opposite. Taxpayers and small businesses are the engines of our economy. They create most of the jobs and tax revenue. We should reward them with a one-year income tax vacation. The cost would be about the same as Obama’s failed stimulus fiasco and would turn this recession into a great economic boom.

3. Obama has repeatedly violated the Constitution, highlighted by his refusal to investigate ACORN for voter registration fraud and the two Black Panthers charged with intimidating white voters in the 2008 election. He also opposes gun ownership in the hands of law-abiding citizens. We should respect and follow the Constitution, the greatest document ever created.

4. Obama doesn’t believe in states’ rights, ordering the U.S. government to sue Arizona's new immigration law. We should kill the lawsuit, secure our borders, stop illegal immigration and respect states' rights as the Constitution demands.

5. Obama has dramatically increased the size, scope, power and spending of government with his healthcare and so-called financial reform bills. His promise to lower health costs while expanding coverage is a lie, something that never was and never will be: a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society; either the costs go up or the free society goes away. We should repeal the healthcare bill and reduce the size of government, putting more money and power in the hands of individual citizens. We should fire overpaid government employees, stop all raises and cut their obscene salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.

6. Obama has treated our allies (such as Israel) harshly, while treating evil rulers that support terrorism (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela) with kid gloves. We should do the opposite: treat friends with respect and not give enemies the time of day. We should also do what should have been done decades ago: eliminate foreign aid to despots and adversaries across the globe.

7. Obama is spending billions on our failing public education system solely to reward his teachers’ union campaign contributors. We should eliminate the Department of Education and transition government out of this area. In the interim, we should move education funding to the state and local level and encourage vouchers to give parents the freedom to pursue alternatives such as home-schooling, private, charter and religious schools. We should abolish public employee unions and restore to administrators the ability to hire, fire and grant raises based on performance.

8. Obama supports the Federal Reserve and asks them to print ever-more money, devaluing our currency and stealing every American’s savings. We should audit the Fed, and make it transparent and accountable to the people.

9. Obama responded to the Gulf oil disaster with an oil-drilling moratorium costing 100,000 jobs. Obama’s tragic solution destroys the Gulf economy and makes America more dependent on foreign oil. We should do the opposite: encourage more offshore drilling and allow it closer to shore, where disasters can be more easily prevented.

10. Obama has expanded the war in Afghanistan, sending an additional 30,000 troops there. We should stop this no-win war. The original purpose and goals have been long since forgotten. Bring our brave troops home.

I could go on and on, but these are the main points of what he is doing wrong (the most important are at the top). Barack Obama is a corrupt, anti-American socialist dictator. He will go down as the worst U.S. president ever.

Because he thinks he is smarter than the rest of us. Unfortunately for the Democrats we will be smart enough to use the voting booth in November. Then he will find out we are smart enough to use a voting booth in 2012 as well. His arrogance has angered 60?f the country, that should be enough to send him back to the streets of Chicago.

He listens to them on some stuff but on other stuff it wouldn't be right for him to listen to a good amount of Americans. I mean, a good portion of people feel that the mosque shouldn't be built and gays shouldn't get married but both of those things are denying Americans their basic rights and that can't be put up for a vote.

Also, few presidents give a crap about the people. very few. welcome to politics.
Answered By: Harold III - 9/11/2010
Maybe you forgot, but he was elected with the largest majority in almost two decades.

And that's a pretty strong mandate.

We're all aware that AEI, the Heritage and Freedom Foundations, the "Club for Growth", USCOC, the Koch brothers, and various other ultra-right wing neo-Nazi organizations are pumping out a lot of hate propaganda and lies to obscure reality, and it seems to be working. Their overpaid mouthpiece cheerleaders, the "three stooges" and flunkies like the imbeciles Palin and Boehner get lots of money from these organizations to lie and exaggerate. But those organizations and the various slimy scum who spew their insanity are not the American People.

You seem to have misidentified a few things, mainly the genuine enemy of prosperity, which is and has always been the same collection of know-nothing imbeciles of the lunatic right is has ALWAYS been.

Try dealing with reality once in a while for a change, instead of listening to your manifold "inner voices".
Answered By: Arminius Victorium Germanicus - 9/11/2010
Basically Mr Obama is insulated from the public by his handlers. He also has a highly inflated opinion of his own intelligence. He really knows that his Socialist teaching that he received from childhood is the right thing to do. He also is convinced that the marxist theory of economics is what is best for the common good. That is so ingrained into his beliefs that he is incapable of believing that he is EVER wrong. He has the makings of an absolute dictator in the same mold as Hitler or Stalin.
Answered By: Haze Gray - 9/11/2010
Mainly because the American people can't agree on anything. No matter what a politician does, he or she is going to piss off a whole bunch of people. Every action Obama has taken has significant support from many Americans. Maybe not a majority but the numbers are still significant. Anyway, the truth is he doesn't have to listen to what we want. That's why we live in a republic instead of a direct democracy. He represents you even if his actions don't represent your views. He's YOUR president and just because you don't agree with the man doesn't mean you shouldn't respect the office your fellow Americans have placed him in.
Answered By: Arch Duke Smokey III - 9/11/2010
I think he's a pure ideologue and doesn't care if majorities oppose virtually everything he's done and wants to do. A fundamental aspect of progressive beliefs is that the masses are best served by a few super intelligent leaders who can design the perfect society. Obama sees himself as such a leader. He believes people who disagree with him are simply not smart enough to realize why his policies are good for them and the country.

I don't see any evidence of Obama's intelligence. Seriously, what is his area of expertise? It doesn't appear to be economics, finance, management, foreign policy or leadership. While he doesn't seem to be stupid, it seems whatever skills and knowledge he does possess aren't ones helpful to being a good president.

FYI, to the guy who claimed Obama was right to not listen to the people on gay marriage, I've got a news flash, Obama has publicly stated that he opposes gay marriage.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am currently a 1st year irregular college student taking I.T. I transferred schools and my majors never got credited. But it's okay because i am slowly getting the logics in programming in Java. This next semester i am taking a System Analysis and Design(SADSIGN) and i am getting nervous because even though i am pretty good at logics, i am not that good at coding. But since it is a case study, we will be on group, we will be four i think. Project manager, Analyst, Documentation, and the programmer. I am asking what jobs i can get after graduating I.T. because what if i graduated I.T. and still not that good at coding, i am hoping that there will be a jobs that will require less programming. Like Database manager or in Multimedia or in charge of Network. So is there jobs that doesn't require hardcore programming skills?
