Obama, Politics and Posturing, No Real Bipartisan Effort

Our President is so far left he cannot see the center. Is he a Socialist? I don’t think so but he definitely believes he is smarter than the American people and he thinks we cannot take care of ourselves. In my opinion Obama believes that the government is better suited to make all things fair for all people. Mr. President, life is not fair, everyone doesn’t get a trophy for just participating, life is a competition. Throughout history big government has failed to stimulate competition, in fact it stifles competition and increases cost in everything it tries to manage.
If we look at how the government has managed Fannymae and Freddymac we can see the results of that. If we look at Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, regulation and monitoring of industry we can see failure to the extreme. I don’t understand the liberal agenda, it is foreign to any logic one can apply. Massive government control of industry is not in the best interest of this county. GM filed for bankruptcy and the result is the same as it would have been had not the government given them billions. The government literally forced the sale of Chrysler and the results are still in doubt. In my opinion the banks would have survived via the FDIC and bankruptcy processes already in place. Obama is taking credit for saving the county for collapse. We really don’t know what would have happened without our government interfering and placing all of us at risk via the largest national debt in the history of the world. In addition he is taking credit for saving something that is still in jeopardy. Yes Obama inherited a crisis, no doubt, yes his predecessor implement policies to bailout the banks, yes I believe that Bush rushed to judgement also and should have let the current laws and processes take care of the problem.
We are facing more problems economically, there is no doubt in my mind the worst is yet to come. This is going to happen because the continuing borrow and send policies driven by a political agenda to take care of the American people via government control regardless of what the people want is the primary desire of the liberal left.
The current march toward health care reform is now insurance reform, the American people have expressed their desire that the current bills be stopped. Has this stopped Obama? No, he is now at the forefront passing a reform under the pretense of bipartisanship and modifying the current bills. The reality is the bills are not changing all that much and the meeting with the Republicans is a political ploy designed to make them look like obstructionist. The reality is that Obamas plan doesn’t contain any of the Republican ideas for reform. The health insurance industry needs to have the anti-trust protections repealed and tort reform needs to be looked at and modified. Are these items in Obamas plan? no!
Spending on a second stimulus, cap and trade and health care/insurance reform are still leading the parade. The government can create a positive environment for the private sector to create jobs. The government can only do this through controlling their own spending and reducing the tax impacts on all of us.
