What Am I Missing?

Since the president wants redistribution of wealth! Im sure he will be donating that 1.4 mill he got for NOTHING.right

At what point will this administration own this economy and prolonging this recession? If not now, when? If not ever, why?

Concur, if we start voting all parties out for the next decade do you think the politicians might remember their job is to serve the people?

You haven't missed much. I appreciate your comment about blaming G II. I'm tired of hearing the mantra we inherited a mess. Those who say that have been in office for 10 months and the Congress longer than that.
We as a nation are on course to beome a third worls country, becuase the priorities are not right. Fix the infrastructure. Stop printing money and borrowing from countries who are not really our friends and cannot wait to kick us.
If our firends are talking about trading commodities by replacing the dollar as the reserve currency, then you can be there is a plan to do so soon. The dislocation for the American consumer will be catastrophic.

Michael you missed very little..I mean you could add the beliefs his staff have that reveal the true agenda.

There is currently a virtual monopoly in the government and media of liberal viewpoints. They are trying to pass as many pieces of legislature that they can before Americans hopefully wake up and say what in the heck happened to our country. The problem is both of our political parties in this country just tow the party line and not their constituents’. Where are representatives that live up to that title!!

I’m with you. The White House is on a roll (and not a good one). I think it’s funny Chicago didn’t get the Olympic bid. Imagine an even more corrupt event. Ugh!

What we are missing is a President and a congress that seem to forget that on July 4, 1776 a Group of wise old men were driven by repeated injuries and usurpations to declare it was time for a change. Those wise old men put it this way; "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government... Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." The so called change we got is a President and legislature that changed coats - seems they have found a chest full of the old red coats and put them on again. I don't know about you but I for one among millions have had ENOUGH of this bunch - both red and blue. It's time for us to take the advice of those wise old men and MAKE ANOTHER DECLARATION FOR REAL CHANGE IN WASHINGTON D.C. - and throw the bums off.

Mike, Great blog. You did not miss a thing… Bush and his past policies are no longer relevant. While he should be ashamed of himself for the way he handled the economic crisis last year, this is now Obama’s economy. And it’s headed exactly where he wants it to go. Obama’s effort to expand power and control over the country through unnecessary “health care reform”, cap and trade, tax increases and environmental control is the socialist way. The end result will be a society totally foreign to that which our Founders envisioned for us, but similar to the one from which they revolted and created our Constitution. Our government was designed to have checks and balances. Unfortunately, there can be no check, no balance, when all three branches are intent to expand their own power foot print, while they trample on us. 234 years ago, one third of the population sided with the British, one third were neutral, and one third wanted independence. We have a similar split today among, the left, center and right. One third created our great nation… One third can take it back. Greg

I don't think you are missing anything - pretty much got it covered. Where will we be in 2012?

The president did get the Peace Nobel Price. We all wonder why, but I guess is the inspirational talk we hear so regularly. You may have been missing out on all the speeches. That has been a pretty high priority of this administration. That is good old chatter we can believe in continuing... on, and on, and on...
