The Amazing Expectations for Obama

There are clearly uneducated and uninformed people out there in the world.  No, they’re not limited to just the Obama faithful, but I had to post these.

The first is a woman who seems to have fallen on some tough times.  I feel for her and hope her condition improves, however she seems to be hoping that Obama was planning an Oprah moment.

This next clip is of a gentleman who has not managed to move up from his McDonald’s job while attending college.  Hats off to him for working there for over four years, but he is a bit confused if he thinks Obama’s job is to force companies to give increased benefits based on years of service.

It just reminds me of the lady who swooned over Obama during the election, feeling she would never have to worry about paying for her mortgage ever again.

The expectations of these people are amazing.  And to his credit, Obama handled the strange questions fairly well.  I hope that the general population is more informed than this and realize that it is personal effort, not governmental effort, that will move them to the place they want to be in life. What ever happened to “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”?

Schumer: Americans Don’t Care About Pork

 

OK, this is downright insulting.  I suppose I must be part of the “chattering class” or something.  Apparently most Americans don’t mind a few million dollars of waste here, a billion or two there… Schumer claims it’s just not a big deal.  It is amazing how much respect politicians like this give our tax money!

Ron Paul on the Stimulus

I’m definitely no “Paulite”, but Congressman Paul makes some good points in his analysis of the stimulus package.

Pelosi: 500 Million Americans Lose Jobs Every Month

Yeah yeah, I know “misspeak!”…  I just find this humorous (besides, as much as everyone made fun of Bush’s pronunciation of ‘nuclear’ the door is open anytime a pol makes any sort of mistake).  Seeing as how our population is around 300 million (including elderly, children, illegals, etc), everyone is losing their job twice a month on average.  I guess I should be happy I was only laid off twice in 16 months!

Regardless if this is a misspeak, ignorance, or exaggeration, this approx $1 trillion pork-filled package isn’t an instant cure.
