I'm twisting myself in half here. On one hand, it's wonderful that this person has seen the negative consequences of her actions. On the other hand, if she voted for Obama, just how conservative could she be?
I'm trying to not go over the edge here, but if you voted for Obama and didn't expect a full on turn towards Marxism, especially with a Communist Controlled Congress, then you were, quite up front and honestly, ignorant as all hell. The fact that you now recognize that voting for Obama was a mistake is a step in the right direction. But it's only a step. You MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF. Because not all the enemies of America come dressed in a tan leisure suit with Elvis glasses and big hair. Some of them come dressed in a suit and a smile, promising Hope and Change.
It seems like the president's image is unraveling in recent months and we're getting a look at the real Obama underneath the PR, razzle, dazzle veneer he sports so well. I think Americans are growing weary of the sparkle, shine and high-spending policies this president is selling and want to see something more. Every week he is on TV holding a press conference for this or that announcement on funding, bailouts or programs to expand government exponentially. As my father exclaimed recently, "when does he have time to run the country, if he's on television everyday." This is a question to be pondered. Team Obama may have won the presidency through an innovative public relations campaign but winning over the confidence of Americans and setting the country on the right course will require careful thought, temperance and bipartisan collaboration.
I can only hope that this country survives the next three and a half years. But I don't think it will. The free country I knew and loved is gone, and I'm more than a little afraid at what will be replacing it.
