October has not been a good month for President Obama – higher unemployment, a public scrap with General McChrystal and failing to get the Olympics in Chicago. SNL even lambasted Obama in a skit (search hulu.com).
You might think that someone like me who fundamentally disagrees with Obama’s central government approach would be delighted in this beatdown. But the failure of wrongheadedness is no cause for celebration. We are going through a tough economic correction and the chronic mistakes by the Democrats have made matters worse.
Not only are we not getting what we need, but the crazy talk in Washington (sky-high debt, higher taxes and takeover of our medical and energy industries) is undermining everyone’s confidence. Duplicity and false promises are tearing the country in two.
The private sector needs stimulus – tax cuts, tort reform, relief from regulation. We need strong leadership in a troubled Middle East.
Washington has two jobs to do – stimulate private job creation (the tax base) and keep us safe. Quit the power grabbing and get busy.
