Respectfully, President Obama had his chance. To those who say he's still cleaning up the Bush era - get over it. He's had four years. If you do the math, he's only spent more money and amplified an already bad situation.
Where did the change go? What did he do with those four years???
What?
Oh yeah, Obamacare. That's it. That's his legacy to the United States. And not a very good one. Over half the country didn't want Obamacare, that being the case, if he is there to do what WE want, instead of what HE wants, he should have dropped the issue long ago. It passed the supreme court as a Tax, when Obama said he wasn't going to raise taxes. After it passed as a tax president Obama said that it wasn't a tax. Well, if it isn't a tax, then it's illegal.
Get rid of it.
It uses taxpayer dollars for abortions. It forces low income families to buy health insurance or pay a 'penalty'. Tell me, if they can't (myself included) afford to buy health insurance how can they afford that penalty?? Yes, it provides healthcare to everyone, but only to an extent. Meaning if healthcare doesn't cover it and you can't pay for it --- too bad. And by the way, in my opinion the president should have fought harder against it being called "Obama-care." I know he did speak up about that but in my opinion did not put too much effort in.
A bit blunt, yes. I know. But I am tired of all the people whom try to force their opinions on me that it is a good thing. If you want to believe its a good thing, fine. That's okay. I am not here to force my opinions on you. I am just detailing why it is I do not like it nor agree with it, nor will I ever agree with it. This is the United States of America. The land of the free. The day that bill passed the Supreme Court, was a day we lost one of those freedoms: our basic right to choose. As in, choose if we have health care or not. So I am still protesting. Because I am not a sheep that follows. I am not indifferent enough to let it just slide because - 'it's just one little thing you have to pay for', or, 'other countries are like this' Because we are not other countries (no disrespect, they are good countries too). We are the USA. If we don't protest it - who will?
Anyway, that is all he's done that's notable. Bin Laden?? Many forget it was the Bush era that started that. This current president spent so much time forcing that health care bill that nothing else really changed. We are in a worse financial position than we were four years ago. And we have lost even more respect around the world.
And so, off my 'stump'.
I vote for and support Romney for President. And should Obama be re-elected, then at least it is documented here that, like with the last election. I cannot and did not vote for him. That be said I have, and always will have, total respect for the offfice of the President of the United States.
