hello america! in one of my earlier posts, i said that before obama is through, this country would be wishing pres bush were still in office. that day is quickly approaching.
today, i woke up to foxnews live discussing the 'cash for clunkers' program. i was, & still am, firmly against this program. for one thing, it's not for america's benefit. ford focus was the number one selling car under this program but, toyota has claimed that spot. this program should prove once & for all to obama that american's want the most bang for their buck & (unfortunately) ford, gm & chrysler ain't it. gm & chrysler aren't even in the top 5 so, how is this program helping the us automakers? toyota is 1st, 3rd, 4th, & 5th. i must have missed the part where toyota became america.
when you compare the foreign-made cars with american-made cars, you have to look at the price, mpg's, comfort, style, warranty, maintenance, etc:::&, you have to admit that the foreign-made car is a better value &, even moreso with obamas program.
& then, check this out, the 'clunkers' that are turned in are destroyed. those charity's that have had those 'clunkers' donated to them in the past, are already hurting. "WAYS TO WORK" won't be able to help a lot of people with new cars. individuals won't be able to get parts to keep their 'clunkers' running.
let's keep it real:::obama started this program to boost the sales for gm & chrysler; not ford & toyota & (as is becoming a pattern with obamas programs) it 'ain't not' working. & obama wants to dump even more money into it. obama, you can convince me your program works when you can name the specific gm & chrysler automakers that have grown because of it...don't just throw out numbers without specifics---something you excell at.
&, then you have this: the whitehouse wants you to contact them when someone talks negatively about obamas healthcare reform bill. so they can silence you??? or, do to you what they did to 'joe the plumber'. obama already wants to stifle free speech.
&, lastly...you have these townhall meetings where the dems don't have the answers to the questions & then turn around & blame the repubs for staging the uproar...do they not read the bills they are trying to promote? do they not see that obamas approval numbers are going down (minus 7 points in the last 30 days)? do they not hear that nancy pelosi says she doesn't care about popularity numbers & yet, you won't hear her say that come election time? do they not hear charles rangel say americans don't care about the 'pork' in the bills & yet, you won't hear him say that come election time? do they not hear the harry reid say he will push the bill through with or without repub support & yet, you won't hear him say that come election time?
now there are those of you that think that whatever is said negatively about obama & the dems is made up by idiots & those plotting against america...i'm here to tell you that i love my country & what my country stands for. i'm also here to tell you that if you saw any of the news concerning the townhall meeting with arlen spector & kathleen sebelius, you'd understand why america is showing its frustration---basically, spector said the bills are broken up & given to the staffers to read & sebelius said that if the legislatures don't read the bill, the voters should tell them to. &, in response to spector saying they must pass this bill quickly, sebelius said the senate hadn't even wrote it yet.
america, we owe it to ourselves & the generations to come to get the right people in washington that will do our bidding---not their own...
