Has anyone noticed that President Obama is a little more proactive in his addresses to the media and the country? Does it seem he wants to be more like Daddy O instead of a statesman-like president? President Obama was elected president, not CEO or school principle. In fact, I don't think he would ever be able to get a CEO job anywhere at all, considering the lack of experience in any type of business he has. How often did you see President Bush scolding private corporations or private citizens what they should or shouldn't do as a company or as a person? If anything needed to be addressed then there are other members of his administration that could deliver such messages. Another option would be to direct his administration to send messages and memos behind the scene and not make a public spectacle of the situations.

Leadership does not mean telling people what to do. Leadership means inspiring people to want to better themselves, better their lives and better others on their own and not at the direction of a big brother or big daddy. In Daddy O's defense, those companies that took bail out money were extremely stupid in handing out bonus money in this time of extreme visibility of financial organizations. But it is NOT in the job description of the President of the United States to hold people to task nor to scold organizations as if he were some Edward Rooney of the political world.

The truth of the matter is, the house democrats are trying to push all of their big spending projects through Congress as soon as possible before the general public can get a grasp of what the Stimulus Package is really about. They, and the President, are using the old Marxist strategy of creating a tremendous sense of urgency and panic to get the legislation through that they want and President Obama is running the cover in the press relying on his still strong popularity. I hope the American people wake up before it's too late to turn the tide of Daddy O's march to socialism.

Ssssssshhhhhhhh quiet, don't tell anyone but here's the plan. Stop listening to anyone who tells you otherwise but we have the perfect plan.
Keep talking down the economy so that the majority of America has a huge sense of urgency and even deep fear. Talk down any promising economic indicators as being only temporary or a fluke.
Pass this great big stimulus package, as soon as possible, so that there will be such humongous deficits for decades to come that any talk of cutting taxes can be down-played and even ridiculed.
Change the tax rates so that 60% to 65% of Americans will not pay taxes and that we have a permanent dependent majority voting block so that we can keep majority power for 50 years or more. Raise the tax rates to 70% or more on those actually paying taxes.
Concurrently bail out and nationalize the banking industry, the news media, the health industry and the energy industry so that national dependency and big government control can never be challenged nor overcome.
If we can successfully do that then we can effectively destroy the free market and defeat any hard right opposition as long as America exists.
That's the plan. Just try to stop us!
