We’ve now seen three landslide Republican victories in three states that President Obama carried in 2008. From the tea parties to the town halls to the Massachusetts Miracle, Americans have tried to make their opposition to Washington’s big government agenda loud and clear. But the President has decided that this current discontent isn’t his fault, it’s ours. He seems to think we just don’t understand what’s going on because he hasn’t had the chance – in his 411 speeches and 158 interviews last year – to adequately explain his policies to us.
Instead of sensibly telling the American people, “I’m listening,” the president is saying, “Listen up, people!” This approach is precisely the reason people are upset with Washington. Americans understand the president’s policies. We just don’t agree with them. But the president has refused to shift focus and come around to the center from the far left. Instead he and his old campaign advisers are regrouping to put a new spin on the same old agenda for 2010.
Americans aren’t looking for more political strategists. We’re looking for real leadership that listens and delivers results. The president’s former campaign adviser is now calling on supporters to “get on the same page,” but what’s on that page? He claims that the president is “resolved” to “keep fighting for” his agenda, but we’ve already seen what that government-growth agenda involves, and frankly the hype doesn’t give us much hope. Real health care reform requires a free market approach; real job creation involves incentivizing, not punishing, the job-creators; reining in the “big banks” means ending bailouts; and stopping “the undue influence of lobbyists” means not cutting deals with them behind closed doors.

Americans went to the polling booths last November charged with emotion and left common sense at home. What did the adoring masses think would happen if they put a ‘nowhere man’ in the Oval Office? Therein lies the problem, they didn’t think.
Nowhere man the world is at your command
He`s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Faced with the options the Americans had a year ago I might have voted for the Owe myself. Personally I think that the political parties need to be cleaned up so that some real choices would be made available to the American people.
I thought Mr.Obama was one of the greatest public speakers ever. He deserved to win the presidency last election, but he is not what was presented. His policy’s are outright communist not leftist. He can read a teleprompter but can’t wing it. The grade school speech photos were just over the top. In short he’s a fake. Only thing missing was a flashing presidential sign over the podium. Palin and Beck in 2012!
