CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN - BUT NOT TODAY - NOT TOMORROW!

At a Chicago fund raiser on Wednesday, August 3, 2011, Barrak Obama said:

"When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn‘t say ’change we can believe in tomorrow.’ Not change we can believe in next week."

You know, it really wouldn't matter to me, who made that statement, that is probably the most childish thing I have ever heard come out of the mouth of a sitting president. Mr Obama went on to say:

"We knew this was going to take time because we’ve got this big, messy, tough democracy,”

What in the world are we suppost to say to something like that? Gee Mr President, we're sorry this whole democracy thing is so inconvenient for you? Obviously, having elected a socialist president (or one with a socialist agenda), doesn't work well in a democracy.

I simply can't accept statements like "that" coming from the "most powerful office in the world". The problems were bad three years ago, but now they are terrible! What if, a month before Christmas, I told my 13 year old son that I would buy him a "new bike", then three years later, when he is old enough to get a drivers permit, I tell him "I didn't say that I would buy you a new bike Tomorrow!" Is he going to believe me now, when I tell him that I will buy him a new car?

To fix the problems we face today, the first and most basic step a president has to take is to simply "Be There" and "Be Involved". This president has not! Even Obama Care should rightly be called "Peloci Care" or "Reed Care" because Obama was not involved in writing it, the job was passed to Nancy Peloci, He simply signed it, and just like every other Democrat in the House and Senate, he did so without even reading it!

The debt problem was passed on to the so called "Super Committee". Again, he was not involved. Mr Obama, in the last three years, has not let little things like the ecomomy, a nuclear Iran, job creation and protecting the constitution interfere with his vacation time or golf. We need a "Hands On" president, and the more inexperienced he is, the more he needs to be involved.

I sincerely believe that any one of the rebublican candidates could turn this economy around and create jobs in much less time than 3 years, not to mention, America would be respected around the world again. This is "Not" a partisan political statement, because, at this juncture, I would vote for almost any democratic nominee to replace our current Oval Office Occupant.
