Whew! I'm exhausted just thinking about all that he does in a day. I'm also terrified of the impact all of this will have on my life and my family's life now, and for generations to come.
All of the President's plans come with a timetable that is unrealistic at best and dangerous at worst. I use the word "dangerous" because, for example, if Congress is pressured to change the face of healthcare before they go into recess you can bet the ranch on the fact that a bill will be passed that no one has read and the American people will have to live with the awful consequences.
What's the hurry? Where's the fire? It's my opinion that the White House is operating on the magician's trick of sleight of hand. If you do something very fast and divert the audience's attention from the real issue, then the trick succeeds and nobody is the wiser. I don't like being fooled. I resent being given the bum's rush when it comes to issues that will have a significant impact on my life. I do not appreciate being told what kind of healthcare I must have, what kind of car I will be allowed to drive or how much money I can expect to earn.
I live in America, not the former Soviet Union. I appreciate and value my freedoms and I want to keep them. We all better pay attention, because before we know it, all that we have come to love and expect in our lives will be changed forever. That change will not be for the better.
I think it may be time for another round of tea parties. I'll bring the muffins.
