It has been a while since I have posted a blog.  This is due to being in complete shock at what has transpired in our nation over the last 60 days.  Since the swearing in of the Messiah Government has indeed begun to "change"!  Obama said he would bring change and it is change we are getting.  I hope all of the sheep who voted for O are happy.  Today we see that a President of the US now has the authority to tell a private sector CEO to hit the road.  By accepting federal bailout money GM and Chrysler have allowed the government to tell them what to do.  In a free society government does not have control over private sector activity.  We are not living in a free society anymore.  Whoever believes that the government and Mr. O will be able to run a car manufacturer better that a car man is out of their minds.  The government doesn't know how to do anything right and we are giving the government unwielding authority to run more and more segments of the private sector every day!!  I fear the end is near.  We are going down the road of the USSR and are now essentially nothing different.  Rights and freedoms are disappearing daily.  I give huge credit to Ford for not accepting federal bailout funds.  I believe that Ford will rise as the auto manufacturer of choice in the USA since they are currently outside of the grasp of Obama's control for now.  GM will be forced to produce "green" cars that no one wants.  If they produce vehicles that nobody wants they will continue to be unprofitable and our tax dollars will be stolen to prop up this government run company.  Ford will be standing alone and will produce the cars that Americans want such as trucks and SUV's.  Stay the course Ford!

Joe the Plumber hit the nail on the head with his pointed question to Obama.  There are a lot of Joe the Plumbers across this great nation and we don't want the wealth to be spread around at any cost.  Sure I could use some handouts but that is not the way I was raised.  Obam's statement of spreading the wealth around is socialism pure and simple.  Heck, I am a hard working guy supporting a family of 4 on one income.  The wife and I are trying to live the American dream within our means.  That is a principle too many Americans have forgotten.  Everyone wants to have the material things that the guy down the street has.  Greed and envy are powerful weapons that the liberals in Washington have harnessed.  Obama's message is class welfare pure and simple.  He is heding his bet with "95%" of Americans that they would rather knock down their boss or their successful neighbor and take a government handout instead of picking themselves up by the bootstraps and tyring to succeed in this great nation.  We all know that half of his "95%" don't pay taxes anyway so their "taxcut" would actually be a welfare payment.  America is a land of opportunity for all citizens.  If Obama will penalize success what is the motivation to be successful?  Without successful people providing jobs for others what will happen to our economy.  No successful nation has ever had an economy fueled from the bottom up.
