My Apologies

Before the election, I thought we needed to know the truth about Obama, because the media seemed to be ignoring the many problems.

When he won anyway, I decided to close the blog, in the hopes I was wrong and he would turn out to be competent.

I apologize. It turns out that in my blogging last year, I was much too generous in not pointing out his flaws. I really didn't think he could screw up this bad. I really thought the doom-and-gloomers were over the top.

I really thought the Democrats wouldn't be that stupid, when they had a competent candidate in Hillary Clinton, to pick a person that was incompetent and would destroy the country.

I was wrong. As I expect every person who used to have money and voted for Obama's "change" and "hope" now says on a daily basis. Becuase change we got, and hope has gone.

The question remains -- will people with money survive until we can throw out the Democrats in 2010, or will by that time the only people left be people who need the government to save them (although with all the people with money properly 'punished' by Obama/Biden/Pelosi, i don't know who they get next to pay).

I remember Albright once saying that the problem in the world was that the United States was the only superpower. It seems Obama and the Democrats want to fix that problem, at the expense of every hard-working American who saved their money instead of spending it or donating it to Barack's Election.

In 2006, when we threw out the Republicans for overspending and for "corruption", we didn't realize we were punishing ourselves. But since that fateful day in November, everything that was great about this country has been turned around by the Democrats.

It's our fault. Democrats promised change, and they gave it. Bush had to spend his political power keeping the Democrats from losing the war in Iraq, so other than marginally holding back their attempts to destroy the country (like SCHIP expansion which they have now done), or some social things like keeping them from killing quite as many babies, Bush didn't stand in the way as the Democrats detroyed our economy.

What might have been. Too many conservatives disliked Romney, because he wasn't conservative enough, or he was too Mormon. But it would sure be nice to have someone in the White House now who knew how to work with both sides of the aisle (Obama has never done that, and is ignoring half the country today). It would be nice to have someone who understands business, understands the economy, and had real ideas about how to solve health insurance and other issues without destroying the basic nature of our economic strength.

But even Moderate John McCain would have been better. He also could bring the country together. He would have brought in people who paid their taxes and who knew how to fix things. He wouldn't be expanding government at the expense of hard-working americans.

I don't expect to post any more to this blog, but it can stand as a testament to the basic fact that sometimes, things are worse than they seem at the time.
