Oh, Really?

Words cannot express the feelings I have at the moment about last night's State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. However, I will do my best to try.

Basically what "We the people" heard last night was this:

1. Barack Obama has learned nothing.

2. He will continue with politics as usual.

3. He has completely lost touch with the American people, as well as reality.

4. He will continue to campaign and organize, rather than lead this Country to better times and present the proper solutions to its ever worsening problems.

5. Our President is an elitist bore, who will never admit that he is inexperienced, incompetent, and incapable of learning from his mistakes.

Your Commander and Con.

So where does that leave us? It leaves us with three more horrible years of partisan politics where every month of inaction and ineffective policies will set us back years. For every month that passes that the current situation continues, we will be set back at a minimum of one year.

That is fact, ladies and gentlemen. It's not over-dramatized Nostradamus prophesy. This is reality.

In this fine country, we have what is called a Democracy. A Democracy cannot work without Capitalism. Capitalism is the very blood that flows within the veins of our way of life. This is why Communism and Socialism never lasts, because without Capitalism, a form of Government cannot survive. Capitalism equals Freedom. There is no clearer equation than that.

Through Obama's actions and inactions, he is killing Capitalism in this country. Everything he is actually doing is killing Capitalism, and everything he is NOT doing is killing Capitalism. Believe it or not, not acting at all is as harmful as taking the wrong action. That is why in leadership, taking action and making a mistake is still better than sitting on your hands and doing nothing because you don't have the courage to do so.

Hence the saying, "It is better to burn out, than to fade away". If you make a mistake, at least you tried. At least you weren't lukewarm, wishy-washy, Laodicean. You made a decision and you acted on it. Yes, it didn't work out, but you didn't sit on your hands. You didn't mess yourself and dive in. You stood up and took a chance, even in the face of grave danger. This is what makes the difference between the Shepherd and the Sheep.

Obama is vanilla. He is nothing. He will do whatever it takes to remain popular...oh wait, that's right, he does NOTHING.

Yet, the most important attribute of a leader, is someone who can learn from their mistakes. If you cannot learn from your mistakes, that means you completely lack common sense, and without commons sense, you might as well walk out into the rain with your head up and your mouth open and drown.

Obama does not learn from his mistakes. He is an elitist. He believes HE knows what's best for you and that you aren't smart enough to know what that is. He has a Congressional and Senatorial majority who believes the same. So what can you draw from that? Three more years of the same catastrophe.

In the days, weeks, months, and years to come, we are going to see a polarized America. We will see a country who will increasingly reject President Obama. Before his term is over, we will witness the most hated, loathed President to ever hold office. We will see the first time a United States President has crashed and burned into flames. Through all of the catastrophes Americans have witnessed, this will be the hardest.

It will be harder than the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It will be harder than the disgrace of Richard M. Nixon. The American people are in for some hard times. One can only hope they will be prepared. The real question here; however, is how will HE react to this? Will Obama's reaction to this situation be catastrophic? Or will he just continue with his current modus operandi and just fade away?
