It is beyond me how some of the American populace can even think about voting for Obama. I was a life long democrat who had to finally come to grips with the reality that Obama is a terrible President who lacks the skills necessary to operate and manage our government. I still cannot figure out how we can elect a man to the highest office in the land with no experience whatsoever. Would anyone in their right mind hire a CEO in the business community with no experience whatsoever to manage their corporation? That would be suicide.
Please try to address the following:
1. Obama claims that he was raised in poverty. That is false. He went to the most elite school in Hawaii- Punahou Schools. This school is the most expensive private school in Hawaii. I could not afford to send my children to this school. How can you support someone who distorts the truth?
2.Obama was raised in a dysfunctional family with a different set of values. How can you support someone with values and morals that run contrary to American values and morals? He attended a church for 20 years that practiced a theology that took the Lords name in vain during various sermons by his pastor. What Christian church do you know that practices that kind of theology?
3.Obama omitted that he did drugs throughout his teenage years and college life and admitted that he embellished his book with facts that were not accurate. How can you support a person who alters the truth to serve his own means?
4.Obama promised transparency. Yet he has made sure that all his records and his past are sealed and will not release any information. Is this what you want in a President who is supposed to be a model for others to follow?
5.Obama has complete disdain for the balance of power among three branches of government. He used his executive power to override what the Congress had enacted on several occasions.
Obama also uses his power to defend people who violate the law or to cover up their indiscretions.
6.I believe that the Obama’s operate the White House from a position of entitlement. I believe they feel they deserve all the benefits that this office has to offer. President Obama has played more rounds of golf in one year than Bush played in 8 years. And Michelle Obama has gone on many vacations that do not warrant her presence. How can anyone justify this behavior, especially in a time when so many Americans are suffering and unemployed? If I was elected President, I would not have played any rounds of golf nor allowed my wife to go on any trips out of sensitivity to the poor.
7. By law the executive branch is supposed to draft a budget. Yet we still do not have a budget. Who operates their household without a budget? This is crazy. When he was elected, he was suppose to develop and pass a budget and trim the budget down but instead we got 6 trillion more debt. There wasn’t even any effort to cut the debt. What is he thinking? How can anyone justify this? Does the national debt concern anyone? Do you realize that during the Great Depression those who saved their life savings lost everything?
8.I want a President who is not going to favor any particular race. I expect my President to be impartial to all races. Yet by executive order Obama recently created a separate office within the Dept. of Education for African Americans when we already have a division that is focused on protecting rights of minorities. How do you justify this? Are you going to tell me that we need to help Blacks in particular because they grew up disadvantaged? My parents were immigrants who could not speak English and had to walk the streets to find menial jobs. I was disadvantaged and yet I don’t expect the government to help me out. I rose out of poverty through my own efforts. Also when I do give to charities, I don’t select the charity based on race. I give to Foundations who represent all people. The Obama’s are selective- they give to Black Foundations and colleges. Should I give my donations to my particular race?
9.I am sick of hearing the narrative that the Republicans represent the rich. That was what I was told during my early years as a student in school until I finally woke up. The Republicans represent people who have conservative values who work every day just like anyone else. The Republicans subscribe to the ideology that limited government makes society run more efficiently. But more importantly, if businesses (especially small businesses) are not taxed heavily, they will use that money to expand their businesses and provide more jobs. Did it ever occur to any of you why 52?f college graduates can’t get jobs right now? Businesses are holding onto their cash because they are afraid of Obama’s policies. Do you think that is going to change if he is elected to a second term? My children and their college friends can’t find employment right now because there are no jobs.
