Sweat the Details

We have become an unserious nation led by an unserious leader. I would say Obama is self-aggrandizing, but he need not be-he has the old-line media and brainwashed masses to shout his praises. Obama, who had said he would not go after Bush administration members and intelligence professionals for their efforts to extract information from al-Qaeda and Jihadi terrorists, turned on a dime and now says the US may prosecute the lawyers who said our tactics (used to protect the homeland) were legal. Our President is serious when it comes to settling scores with the right, but less so about our national security. Obama is haphazardly attacking the economic decline, not to reverse it but to use the recession as a pretext to impose socialism. The startling suicide yesterday of the acting CFO of Freddie Mac is not exactly a ringing endorsement of where Obama is taking the financial sector. Deliberate obfuscation by Geithner about TARP can not be seen as an inspiring vote of confidence about where Obama is leading us. Unfortunately, not enough citizens are waking up that Obama is not really concerned about helping the nation turn the corner and rise back to prosperity, only with entrenching himself and those who will continue to implement his policies in power forever.
