Obama Is Now President!
Now that Obama is officially president he's finding out what past presidents have discovered. It's near impossible to keep all of those campaign promises. It's also the common tale of the lovable PRINCE who has now become the despised KING!. Sure, Obama's popularity rating is high; however, is drifting lower and his first six weeks in office has that sense of COLD WATER being thrown in one's face.
Obama promised to do away with earmarks. You know, all of those get your hands in the cookie jar that all politicians use to get reelected. Obama's just signed the $410 billion bill that has NINE THOUSAND earmarks.
Obama promised a transparent government then today Russia went public with his private letter that seems to leave Europe hanging out there without a missile shield as he was willing to exchange that with Russia for some help with Iran; however, Putin and company said no thanks and went public with the not so transparent (would you say secretive) letter. So much for olive branches.
And the promise to cut taxes for 95% of the people just isn't going to happen!
Ah, how easy it was to RUN for the office than BE the office- of president.
Republicans attacked President Obama's proposed $3.6 trillion budget Tuesday as offering "red ink as far as the eye can see," and Democrats even suggested that the president might be trying to solve too many problems at once. As administration officials trekked to Capitol Hill to defend Obama's budget, they were met with skepticism from both sides of the aisle because of the huge changes the president has promised to make in taxes, health care, energy and education.
$3,600,000,000,000.00! It's just NOT going to happen. There's too many Democrats that can't get reelected in their districts by backing such a budget. The president's budget increases taxes on every American, and does so during a recession," Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., told Geithner. Camp also complained about provisions that would limit the size of charitable deductions that could be taken by families earning more than $250,000 a year.
Higher taxes on EVERYONE and a DEFICIT north of $1.7 TRILLION? It simply doesn't make sense and neither was Barack Obama's statement today that he didn't care how Wall Street was doing as he compared it to political polls that are up and down. Up and down? How about DOWN DOWN DOWN? Such a message tells investors to keep running for the exits, and he'll soon find out that if you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs there aren't enough eggs to do ANY of the things he wants to do....things that need to be done.
DUALITY doesn't work anywhere- especially in politics. Welcome to the real world Barack! I wish you well, but you need some moderation, a little backing off of the socialist agenda before you get tagged with some impressions that'll make any decisions you make untenable regardless of the Democratic majority in Congress.

Me thinks we think too much of our Western scientific reasoning ability- if it's even rationale at all. Could it be that shamans and medicine men are more in touch with reality than our scinetists?
