trackback
Well, it was bound to happen eventually, Barack Obama officially fumbled and was off message last week when he indicated that “It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or antitrade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations” during an event in San Francisco. In today’s NYTimes, one of their columnist indicates there is racial undertones present. Personally, I believe that it is more simpler than that. Many, Many Americans are finding it difficult in challanging economic times not to be angry. There was a poll that was conducted that 81% of the American electorate believes that the nation is in the wrong direction. Everyone is talking about how much gasoline has increased, how much food prices have increased, how much utilities have increased. They see their investments deflating, jobs being offsourced. They see their friends going thru the same thing. This is not believe that it is a “working class” thing but what is present regardless of socioeconomic status.
Lou Dobbs, on his nightly program, states that there is “A War on the Middle Class.” I partly agree. People are frustrated and wanted to just know why. Questions of “Why is this happening to me?” And, they want someone/something to blame, whether it be the Government, illegal immigration, or trade policies.
Barack Obama was politically stupid to make this statement because it appears that he is completely out of touch with the American electorate. Plus, he is apparently out of touch. Americans are NOT domestic simpletons that cling to God and Guns. They need leadership and resolve.
There has been a comment that has been all OVER the place yesterday. The phrase of “elitist” was prevelant. There were many that believe that Barack Obama, by making the stupid comments, is an elitist. However, America, do not buy it. This is a divide and conquer strategy used to distract people from the real issues. The GOP has to present a solution that is different than what they have produced thru the leadership of President Bush. They haven’t. The Democratic Party needs to present something that will captivate and motivate. They have not. Instead, we have stories about Pastors and some of the comments that they present, the “pimping” (Now this was stupid) of Chelsea Clinton, and so forth. What I would like to know is what are these people going to do or not do to change the quality of life of the American people and if those solutions simply do not work, then change them to a more libertarian approach.
Happy Tax Day everyone!!! Most have probably spent their refunds to survive. But, nonetheless, Happy Tax Day. I have also included the schedule of when people get their “economic stimulus” checks.This is the infamous Bi-Partisan “Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.” The interesting thing is that this does not truly impact the economy. This is not “free money.” This is an advance on your refund for when you file the 2008 return, and the bad part of all of this: IT IS PURE DEFICIT SPENDING. Many of us, will take the funds when they see it online in their accounts, go over to the billpay section of their banks website and pay something. In the act, there were some investment credits, but not enough to make a difference. It is exactly the same in theory as the Stimulus Acts that were done in 2001, and 1975. The net impact was that there was minor, if any stimulus to the economy.
