The media is going nuts over Obama, that isn't new, however, they are looking at this first 100 days in office as if this is there is nothing more that this President needs to accomplish. Yes, in 100 days the man has been able to tackle all the topics of the day, called in the CEOs from every sector of the economy to lecture then on the greatness of HIS plan and how they must kowtow to him. He has conferences and break out sessions that produced nothing but more hot air. Obama has apologized profusely for all the ills that America has done and asked leaders around the world to not blame him for events such as the Bay of Pigs because he was only three years old back then. Wait folks, that's not all. In a way that only Obama knows how, he has endorsed the killings of innocents around the world but pledging tax payers dollars to fund abortions, he has spent more in 100 days than any of his predecessors, he has made us weaker by revealing national secrets and he has made it a personal vendetta to discredit anything the Bush Administration accomplished. Whew! Who knew that so much could be done in such little time? This is the moment that all liberals have been dreaming about. The moment when America ceases to be the land of the free and the home of the brave to the land of the forlorn and home of the beaten.
Now that the 100 days mark has passed, should the taxpayers dare to ask "What's next?" What should happen next and what will happen are two different realities. Republicans in Washington need to get a backbone and oppose legislations which stands in the way of personal freedom, raising taxes and national security. With Obama's approval rating very high, most Republicans are afraid to buck a popular president. After all, 2010 is just around he corner, and some of them have campaigns that they need to win. Looking at the polls more closely, it is clear to see that while people like Obama as a person, his policies do not sit well with most voters. The fact remains that his approval rating is at 68-70%. If one dares to look back at Bush's first 100 days in office they w ill find that he Democrats were bold enough to knock down the President even when his approval ratings were good. As a matter of fact, Democrats will cut their opponents down to size in good times and in bad. If Obama's policies are bad for our country then it should be pointed out to the American people without fear of retaliation. The retaliation is what some Republicans fear and would like to avoid. Liberals win again. Freedom of speech is always the first to go.
What will happen next is unfortunate. Obama and his administration are busy contriving ways of blocking Republican votes on national health care, silencing conservative talk shows and seizing opportunities to gain government ownership of the private sector. The only transparency of this Administration is that they want it all and they want it now. All of these movements are not baby steps, they are giant leaps into weakening of the economy, rights of citizens and free-market system. Making the argument that these ideals have never worked, is an argument that the left will not engage in because in their view it has worked and will work here. Regardless that the evidence reveals the failures of the left's ideals. If the Republicans will not stand up against the tide of socialism, who will? The Republican party is desperate for a leader and that person is no where to be found. The First 100 days is just an appetizers to what will be coming in the next four years. More government, more taxes and more of the same liberal lies.
