Obama: “I’m from the government, and I am here to help you!”

Obama: “I’m from the government, and I am here to help you!”
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

**********

The Obama Regime has set it sites on America’s Middle Class. And it has scared the bejesus out of them! You can almost hear the cries emanating from the Middle Class… “Please, Mr. President, STOP helping us!!!”

But that is not going to happen until Americans isolate Obama in the White House by ousting his congressional supporters in the Mid-Term Election this coming November.

The so-called Middle Class Task Force made up of White House flunkies, and chaired by Vice-President Joe Biden, have been searching diligently in the round about to find issues, any issues, the American Middle Class has been dealing with and then promise to help solve those issues.

I have to ask, how connected to the American public is the President when he has to appoint a task force to learn the current condition of the Middle Class in America?

Nevertheless, that is what Obama did and NOW he KNOWS what the Middle Class is dealing with and he, Obama, “The One,” is going to solve those problems, just as he has solved America’s economic woes and just as he has solved America’s unemployment problem, and just as he has solved… well, you get the picture.

Obama, apparently, believes that all he has to do is PROMISE to solve all those things, not ACTUALLY solve them. Why, who could expect him to do THAT?

So after all the data on the problems faced by the Middle Class in America was in, Obama chose a handful of problems to solve. What are they? Here they are, listed below:

Expansion of the child tax credit -- doubling it among families with incomes up to $85,000;

Increasing funding for child care;

Broader support for families supporting elderly relatives, including counseling, training and temporary respite care;

Limiting student loan payments to no more than 10% of their income; and

Establishing an automatic employer-based individual retirement account plan, so that workers can establish an IRA through their workplace.

So – how much is this going to cost taxpayers, huh? Nobody in th Obama Regime will say. In any event, guess who will pay. Remember the Middle Class? Yep! See, there is NO FREE LUNCH!

I looked carefully at the list and there is nothing on it that affects me, as a member of the Middle Class, at all. It would appear that only those members of the Middle Class, who are potential supporters of Obama, and the other Socialists in the Congress, would reap any benefit from Obama’s Middle Class Iniatives. What I DO see, however, is in keeping with Obama’s Marxist belief. What I see is -- the Redistribution of America’s Wealth.

Never forget that our President is a Marxist… some even say he is a communist. There is no question in our mind that he IS a Marxist and this is what Marxists do. They take from those who have it and give it to those who do not. No matter that those who have it worked for it and earned it and have a God-given right to the fruits of their labor. Either they fork it over willingly, or the Marxist government will take it and redistribute it. That is the underlying reason for the Middle Class Iniatives.

Oh, and we must not forget that all these problems suffered by the Middle Class are the fault of the Bush Administration. Obama is as pure as the wind driven snow.

The “Blame Bush” excuse is wearing rather thin, now, isn’t it? Even the Mainstream Media is getting a bit leery of running his “Blame It On Bush” mantra. I mean, Obama has been President for over a year now. At what point in his presidency does HE take responsibility? Or does Obama (as many in his generation of Americans) subscribe to the philosophy of “no ownership of screw-ups?” At some point he must accept ownership of the rotten economy, the incredible debt he piled on us, or kids, or grandkids, and our great grandkids, as well as the abysmal unemployment situation in America.

The State of the Union is precarious at best. But you won’t hear that tonight. All you will hear are glowing reports of the accomplishments of the Obama Regime and the lofty aspirations of the Marxists who make up that Regime.

I won’t be listening tonight. I’ll probably be watching the “SyFy channel” where the stories are much more believable.

Those are all great things... No matter what they cost they are worth it for a better tomorrow for my children and grandchildren, yours too. See I am so sick of seeing 60+ year old people on medicare bemoaning the government, then get off the system, stop drawing social security and get a freaking job. Where were you when I said Iraq had no WMD and that going there was a complete waste of money?

Iraq DID have WMD’s. Remember the Kurds Saddam gassed? He gassed men, women, and Children!

The ONLY problem I had/have with the war in Iraq is -- I thought we should have invaded, mopped up the country, hung Saddam, and loaded up our troops and come home. I am not into “Nation Building.” I am not into winning the hearts and minds” of anyone we go to war with. Forget winning their hearts and minds. Get them by the testicles and they will go anywhere you want.
