Obeying, Ducking and Sharing

It seems like to me, that the media hasn't done their usual criticism of an incoming president and are still la la la Obama.

He even made up a magical office and nothing?

No jumping the gun(he wouldn't literally), nothing at all.

Just going along with it.

I understand the love affair academia has with him.

Of course they do.

Every thing seems great in theory, but application is another story.

There is some reports that a member of his transition team, an old rep from Michigan, David Bonior, who is a known Socialist(DSA to be exact), and preaches the idea of a North American Union, will be chosen as Labor Secretary.

That's not the only scary part. Obama bailed out of Congress a day before they were meeting with Detroit Execs.

What else will he bail out(pun intended)?

Standing up at the time would have shown people he cared. He already won the election, why not do your job that for the last two years you have neglected, with your constituents getting the short end of the stick.


I say , Yes, I voted for Obama and my vote wasn't free. The cost will be extreme criticism.

I'll be very critical of every move he makes and lately he has been making any good ones.

from The DSA Website:

Democratic Socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run
democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a
more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be
radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that
ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.

Our next Secretary of Labor Agrees.

Where The GOP went SOL

The White House is gone. Congress has been gone for two years. Traditional Red States have gone Blue.

Republican's Gilded Age was the Reagan Years. Small Government, low taxes and less government interference in the life of the citizens. All I hear lately is about Reagan. As if the party is stuck in this 1980's mind frame and unable to accept the fact that the country as a whole has moved more liberal in ideology and concern to social welfare.

Big Government. It happened. I don't think Bush wanted it to happen, but Sept. 11 did change the game. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security was a necessity.

No Child Left Behind was not. Not only was it government involvement wholly on the local level, it went against the major tenure of State's Rights and accountability measured with respect to those on the local level. From the GOP Website:

Education is a parental right, a state and local responsibility, and a national strategic interest.

So to have the Fed's tell the local level how to run their schools is mind boggling.

Although the Constitution assigns the federal government no role in local education, Washington’s authority over the nation’s schools has increased dramatically. In less than a decade, annual federal funding has shot up 41 percent to almost $25 billion, while the regulatory burden on state and local governments has risen by about 6.7 million hours – and added $141 million in costs – during that time. We call for a review of Department of Education programs and administration to identify and eliminate ineffective programs, to respect the role of states, and to better meet state needs.

Exactly. The Constitution assigns no role for the federal government in local education. Enough said on that.


The GOP is the Party of Pro-Life. So how can you have individuals representing the Republican Party who are Pro-Choice? You can't. Again you lose Credibility.
From the GOP Website:

Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. We oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion and will not fund organizations which advocate it. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity and dignity of innocent human life.

Yet again, we find a party that doesn't hold up its own ideals.

It is written in their Platform, yet not followed in its Politics.

Immigration. What a mess. You say you want it to end, but lets not forget Reagan gave Amnesty to millions of illegals in the 1980's. That can not be forgotten.

You can't say you want safeguards, then at the same time, people like McCain and others want Amnesty for illegals. Again, going against your platform.
From the GOP Website:

We oppose amnesty. The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people's rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government's past failures to enforce the law.

Republican Party, the reason you lost the government is not because the Democratic Party is better, but because their message is in line with their actual platform and has been CONSISTENT.

So take some time off and find yourself. You have 4 years.

This "Change" We hear of.

History was made. Barack Obama was Elected President of the United States. True to the Liberal ideal of Bigger Government, he even made a New office, The Office of The President Elect. Now during the campaign he promised the people that our government will "Change" and "Change" and "Change". I do not want to kill peoples adoration towards him or his socialist ideals( if you didn't know that, you should really research your candidate before you vote), but the only "Change" that happens fast usually ends in a Revolution or Tyranny. It cannot just occur. I have asked alot of people, at work and on the street if I see them with an Obama shirt on," What does Change mean to you?". It's sad when I get an answer that is vague. The usual answer was, "Change means to me that the government will be different."

Another response was( and one I will never forget), "So the government gives me money."

I feel most of those who voted for Obama will be disappointed. The media supported halo will eventually turn and in that, he'll fall from grace. From his own victory speech, with the inclusion of "We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. " Sadly, he was running for 2012 in that statement. That upset me. To those that voted for Obama, check out the new site. http://change.gov/


The Agenda Posted on the Site:

The Agenda

President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.

The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.

Here's some Quick Suggestions:

Economy- Since Spitzer had all his charges dropped, put him in charge of SEC, after all it was some angry bankers who tipped off government officials which led to his resignation.

Health Care- Have a non-voting government official on the boards of major insurance companies.

Create loan programs for those who have medical bills more than 20,000 dollars to prevent bankruptcy. We did it for Wall Street.

Education- Have uniformity among all schools in the US.

Social Security- Remove the Cap on Payroll Tax. Problem Solved.

Energy- Government involvement in some type of Manhattan Project. Unemployment is 6.5 percent, put them people to work. Also take people who can work, who are on Welfare.


Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan- Don't screw up. Listen to the Generals. Give them what they need.

All in all, nothing much will Change. Thats what's great about our government. Those Checks and Balances to prevent Change from occuring briskly.

The Change that will happen is we will just be a little farther left than we are right now. Then in 4-8 years, we will be going more towards the Center, then a little farther right.

As if Jefferson Studied Madhyamaka.
