Really, does the government need to put its dirty paws in every aspect of our lives? I have been watching the news religiously every morning for the past few months and am literally appalled at some of the things that are happening. For example, today, President Obama is giving a speech about the swine flu "epidemic". Really!? There have been a total of ten cases in the United States, of which, have been treated. So, do we have to hear about it from the president? The president who should be speaking is Chavez; his country is the one where over one hundred people have died because of the flu.
Not to mention, the other things Obama has been claiming as his own. Just to name a few:

• bailing out numerous companies such as GM, AIG, Chrysler, Bank of America
• apologizing to European countries for U.S. past actions
• calling America "arrogant"
• telling Chrysler to merge with Fiat
• upping the tobacco tax by 250%
• calling interrogation methods by CIA illegal
• holding responsible those who practiced these methods while legal
• holding responsible those who gave legal advice about these methods
• pulling out of Gitmo
• pulling out of Iran and Iraq
• asking the Middle East and European countries to get rid of their nuclear weapons
• devising a plan to disassemble our nuclear weapons despite the fact that other countries are launching nuclear weapons (so-called satellites) into the sea
• Saying (para Hilary Clinton) that the happenings in Pakistan are Pakistani business and not our own despite the fact that the Taliban is taking over the government and police force and the country has upped its plutonium manufacturing
• Signing a billion-dollar spending plan without Congress even seeing the bill
• Signing a trillion-dollar budget with over 3,000 earmarks
• cutting spending only in the defense program when people in Arizona got a million dollars for cricket control in the parks
  

And this is just to name a few. Well, people voted for him because they wanted change. Is this change really good for our country and economy? I guess we will see. I just wish this experiment was not at the expense of my tax dollars. I feel that he is weakening our country's standing in the world, and if the downfall of this super power is coming, it is coming soon because of him. You don't bow to the king of other countries and expect him to respect America or like it more. You don't go around apologizing for American actions and promote peace and expect everyone else to follow suit. There are people who desperately want to hurt America and Americans and feelings are not going to change just because we have a black president and he speaks well. God, bless us. No. God, have mercy on us.
Okay, my rant is over.
