Obama entered office with a Democrat congress and guided us like a bully. He rammed Obama Care down our throat which has since been examined by his own team to have serious flaws and will be examined by the Supreme Court to see if it is even constitutional. He led us like a crazed investor into the "green energy maze" and bungled loans to questionable companies like Solyndra which has already cost the tax payers millions and now we are paying millions more for the out of work victims from that poorly thought out investment. Obama with his control of congress for the first two years spent a trillion dollars on infrastructure and bailouts (like General Motors and Chrysler) and still leaving us at this time with 9% unemployment…...and even worse a 100% debt to GDP ratio. Our chances of regaining tax payer billions on the car companies is looking extremely weak especially as the EU economy collapses from burdens of entitlement spending, debt and high taxes. GM sells a great number of cars in the EU and needs to keep doing that to stay profitable after the massive US taxpayer bailout.
Voter outrage took complete control of Congress away from Obama one year ago. Now, the "want to be leader" stands on the side lines and tells congress to work it out. When no progress is made on the economy, Obama blames the Republicans with class warfare charges and defends the Democrats and Left with their "tax the rich or no deal" partisan stand.
During the first two years when Obama led with maximum power…..he bungled!
And now, when there was a chance to show some compromise leadership, what does Obama do?
With a stroke of the pen he could have raised "bravos" from everyone except the "extreme environmentalists" who would sell out the human race for an endangered rat! He could have signed the Keystone Pipeline and shown true by-partisan leadership!
A good leader must bolster confidence and give hope to large segments of the American society and Obama could have accomplished this with one stroke of his pen! Here would have been the positive outcome from competent leadership….
Obama would have created 20,000 union jobs instantly and many more after the completion of the pipeline. He would have expanded the partnership with our Canadian friends by increasing our oil reserves while assuring us that Canada’s fossil fuels would not go to China to be used with limited environmental concerns. He would also demonstrate that he could make wise investments in needed fossil energy as he continues his more risky support for green energy! He could have shown us all in a small way that he cares about and understands the need for energy independence until new forms of energy are perfected. And it wouldn’t cost a thing because the Pipeline will more likely than anything he has done to bring tax income and profits to our suffering economy! There are too many uses for oil in every world economy, and always will be, for Obama too play politics with this one issue…..but he did!
On a perfect compromise moment, Obama chose "no we can’t!" When he could have encouraged most of us with ""yes we can," he continues to stumble and blame others!
Obama is not a leader. He is a victim of his socialist ideology and believing that bullying those who disagree with him is quality leadership!
