Priorities Askew?

I find it interesting how President Obama has prioritized his agenda for the success of the United States. He began with the heralded stimulus package. This influx into the American economy was promised to halt the surge in the employment rate at 8%. Needless to say this has not happened. We are now at 10% unemployment with some economists questioning that figure. It could actually be closer to 15% as the White House has devised a new formula that now brings saved jobs into the equation. The promise of shovel ready jobs that were going to crop up across the nation has proved to be a falsehood as well. Most of the monies thus far have been spent on welfare, labor unions (payback for their campaign support) and food stamps.

We now have before our legislatures our biggest expenditure yet..........Health Care Reform. I think most of us would agree that reform is long overdue. However, socialized medicine to the tune of $900 billion dollars over ten years for five years of service is insane. And these costs will only escalate as the administrations real agenda here is to eliminate the insurance companies. When this reform process was started it was supposed to give everybody coverage. Now there will be 15-20 million still uninsured. Doesn't seem like money well spent to me. Why not take the time to do it right?

The situation that President Obama has allowed to develop in Afghanistan is sad. We have American soldiers in harms way and he can't make a decision on whether or not to send in more troops for support. In this war it is either "ALL IN" or get the heck out of there.

I believe the administration realizes it is losing support within it's own party as well as independents, hence the battle with Fox News. In addition they seem to want to silence anyone who questions their agenda. The latest being the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
