Why I Can't Bring Myself to Hate Obama

[explosivespam]

My family and the one conservative friend I have seethe with fury over Obama. And their reasons are sound. His spending is off the charts. He immediately re-commenced funding stem cell research even though there are strong indications of its imminent irrelevancy to science. He went to Europe and kissed so much ass that he gave "first black

"I like it when he calls for cooperation and seems to mean it."

--- seems is operative word there. Cooperation is not what he's been doing.

"I like it when he tells people in Washington that they're going to have to tighten their belts."

He is not telling Washington to tighten belts. In fact, he's in short time quadrupled the debt Bush racked up and has promised more. He's telling US to tighten our belts because we just don't sacrifice enough.

And America does not look good under his leadership. He spent a good portion of his first hundred days telling the work, "Yeah all those slack-jawed yokels I represent suck but you can love me because I am transcendant."

I don't hate Obama, hell, he is cool and smooth (as long as he's got the TelePrompTer). And yes words matter, but only when they're supported by action and this guy is quickly proving that he will say whatever it takes to make people love him, while doing whatever he . I personally liked his "we can't sustain this much debt" (which correct me if I'm wrong but was exactly what those racist, sexist, homophobe tea-party people were saying) and then says the only way to fix it is to spend more. He's selling his ass off, but someone's gonna get stuck with the tab and it ain't going to be Pelosi and Reid and Obama.

He's made an economic downturn into a crisis so he can take control over the American economy. There's no argument. He's overseeing private companies payroll, budgets and staff. Sure, right now it's companies that've taken the money (or like Wells Fargo, were forced to take the money) and can't give it back until they meet the requirements he sets. But administration lawyers and the tax cheat have been making moves to seize control over companies that didn't take the money.

I find it funny that when Bushies pressured phone companies people were up in arms, Olberman called that governmental intrusion into the private sector fascism. Hmmm. Strangely enough, I agree with him. Bush flirted very dangerously with fascism and socialism. Obama's not flirting.
