Where does the problem lie

As you know I am very quick to blame Obama for all the ills of our country. He is not the cause, We are! We, the people, have let the politicians, including Obama, lie to us. We have listened to them and not called them on their lies.

I am getting to the point that we should throw them all out. I know this is extreme, but what do we do? It is our responsibility, as American Citizens, to make our leaders accountable to us.

They seem to stay in Washington and do whatever they please. That goes for passing laws that are not right. They increase their pay anytime they desire. They maintain a pay check after they have left office. It is time for change. I think we should consider term limits!

How do we correct the problems of our Country. First, YOU MUST VOTE! Second you should contact the people in congress and let them know how you feel. It is our fault if we do not keep in touch with them and let them know how we think.

Our Country is in a mess! It is up to us, the Citizens, to get it right. The stakes are high!. We will all have to make some concessions to get our debt under control. We will have to take action to stop the destruction of our great nation. It is up to us! We can not wait on the politicians to take action. We must voice our opinions and make our representatives do the right thing for our country. If we do not, we will leave our children and grandchildren with a lower standard of living than we have. We must take action!

What can you do? Get involved! Let the people in Washington know your opinion. Don’t just sit by and let the politicians take our country down the road to destruction.

ANOTHER LOSS OF JOBS

It seems that the Obama administration has taken another step against American jobs. They have made the decision to purchase the next military plane from Embraer, a company in Brazil. The order is for $950 Million for 55 aircraft. It is called the Super Tucano and will be used for pilot training and surveillance.

The Obama Administration choose this Brazilian company over the American manufacturer, Hawker Beechcraft. Fortunately the order has been put on hold because of a lawsuit by local lawmakers and Republican Candidate Newt Gindgrich.

The bottom line is another disregard for American jobs by Obama. How much longer will we tolerate this man?

What is he thinking?

WHAT IS HE THINKING?

Obama has rejected the building of the Keystone XL pipe line. Trans Canada says the pipe line could create as many as 20,000 jobs. The state department claims that only 6,000 would be created. Either way it is agreed that jobs would be created.

For Obama to stop construction to satisfy his environmental supporters is wrong. The pipe line plan has been rerouted to overcome some of the dangers that the environmenlist have raised. Obama wants to delay the project until after the November elections. Do you think he would approve it then?

Union members may not understand his actions not to create jobs. I can only hope they remember that when it comes time to vote.

What is Canada to do since Obama has blocked the pipe line? What would you do if you were Canada? Just what they plan to do, build a pipe line to their west coast and sell the oil to China!

So much for Obama’s call for energy independence! This is a man who uses every political ploy he can to get his way, without regard for what is good for the country.
