Apparently he took the hint; he's definitely keeping his 'change.'

Read this news article, from which I will be getting some of my quotes. --> http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5juui7didNwh_vzBmJyrbjxkeF-IgD9GR0APG0

With Obama publicly campaigning for his chosen running Senators in Missouri and Nevada, he is blatantly disregarding the statement he made during his OWN campaign about 'bridging the partisan divide.' Yeah, he sure is coming through on a lot...and that 'change' he's promised us? Apparently he's keeping it for his own gain, and that of his own party.

Let's hope that these states see reason and elect Republican, conservative representatives, who can see REASON and understand that the will of the people is what makes (or made, as it seems to be) this nation great.

According to Erica Werner, "Obama's been singling out individual Republican House members for comments he says show they care more about corporations than people."

And this is so much different from showing that HE (as our country's leader) cares more about power, socialism, and 'looking after your own' than the people of this country that HE leads? That elected him into office?

Trust me...push them far enough, and you, Mr. President, will see that the will of the people WILL prevail, and you will be OUT of office just as easily as you were put INTO it.
Does anyone wonder if his thought pattern is that of "Well, maybe if I try to shift the mud-slinging onto them, and make the people think that THEY are the ones who don't care about what the people want, that the people themselves won't pay as much attention to what I'M doing."

A friend of mine pointed out that he is not a great leader, or commander-in-chief fit to run this 'once great nation.' He's merely a celebrity. And I completely agree! He did not win because he was a good, strong leader with any experience in leading a people as great as ours (or used to be), but because he was 'charismatic' and a celebrity.

He promised change, and it's coming in the form of socialism; a tact that is going to RUIN our country. He 'won over' the illegal immigrants, the part of the african-american population who still hold 'racism' over everyone's heads, and the white people who feel guilty about the aforementioned racism. Not to mention the liberal college kids who felt that he was going to somehow be doing us a favor by keeping us on our parents' insurance till we were 25. Go out, get a job, and learn to support yourself. Geez, learn a little independence! That is what our nation was BASED on from the get-go! Other nations make fun of ours now because Obama is NOT a leader. We should be feared and respected as the great nation we once were, not made the laughingstock of the world.

This nation has been hibernating for far too long. We stirred and lashed out when 9/11 hit, when an outside enemy disturbed our peace, but since then we've retreated back into our cave. Now we have an INSIDE enemy trying to turn our country into a socialist economy that the government controls. This, in my opinion, is far worse. For if we have an inside enemy, that makes us far more vulnerable to outside attacks. But now, it seems the people have realized that all of this 'change' he's been promising us, all of these good, great things that he 'promised' to do, have not become a reality, and it doesn't look like they will anytime soon.

During his campaign, did he ever set down a plan for achieving some of these things? When asked the question, did he ever say, "I will accomplish THIS first, and then upon that foundation I will build the rest of my plan. Here are the steps, A, B, and C, and that's how I plan to govern." No, of course not. When asked what he wanted to accomplish during his presidency, all he promised was 'change.' Oh, and making the hard-working people who have labored for what they have all their lives SUPPORT the lazy, greedy people of our country who have decided "I'll just let the government help me with this one."

If I, as a single, white, 20-something, technically uneducated FEMALE can live on my own, hold down a job (two jobs, actually) and support myself ON MY OWN without the aid of the government, I'm pretty sure everyone else can too. I understand that the unemployment rate is high (thanks to the grand economy that with ever bill passed seems to fall into a deeper and deeper hole), but sometimes, you can't always have the job they want. I know for a fact that a lot of people don't have a job because they think it's BENEATH them to work in food service, or in an office answering phones. Sometimes, you don't always have a choice.

Know what's really horrendous? That if this country keeps heading in the direction it's going, if I posted something like this in the future, it could be considered treason for 'slandering the all-powerful socialist President' (who, at that point, wouldn't be a President at all, but a dictator) and I could be arrested. Big Brother society anyone? Reminiscent of Hitler anyone?

It is time to WAKE. UP. November elections are just around the corner, and ladies and gentlemen, we need all the damn help we can get. Go vote. And hope and pray that we can get some officials in office who will temper the will of this almost-madman who is so hellbent on our country collapsing in on itself, and, like Rome, into ruin.
