Stop ignoring Constitution and do what is right

Posted: Monday, May 04, 2009

The opinion page is, at times full of praise for our new president. Most put in a disclaimer saying that all his unsolved problems are President Bush's fault.

I don't think the people elected President Obama to just jet around and blame Bush. You can say all the bad things about Bush you want and I'll agree with much of it, but he is over now.

Three trillion dollars spent already on Obama's recession, another $3.5 trillion waiting in the wings. I say "Obama's," because he took ownership of it on Jan. 20. He began affecting it Nov. 5 with his poor choices for his cabinet. He said he had the answers. So far it's been first down and punt.

Congress blasts everything through without reading them - and nobody knows what is in the bills it passes. The president doesn't care. The AIG situation was one thing that they blew out of control. Sen. Chris Dodd made sure the bonuses were included in the bill - and Obama signed it.

Why did they then get ticked off when they approved them? This Congress and administration are the new bourgeois. They are trying to demonize the people who have the jobs, and leave themselves blameless.

Liberals act like decisions being made are only going to affect conservatives. They need to realize when the taxes begin to go up, and they will, they will paying them, too; when the electric bill doubles, then triples, they too will pay the bill.

If this government ignores the Constitution and joins the "one-world" crowd, they too will be under that oppressive fist.
