Where President Obama Went Wrong

When President Obama was elected there was a lot of hope. Yes we can! People were expecting him to take charge and handle his business; make everything better and put the country back on course.  However, it did not work that way. He surrounded himself with the same people who created the situation America is currently in now. He professed his undying desire to work with republicans, who simultaneously profess a desire to see him fail. He refused to prosecute all the wrongdoers of the Bush regime and surprise, surprise they are back spouting all their nonsense again. He made backdoor deals with business and put inconsequential restraints on the bankers. He was a really nice guy but that is not why people voted for him. People wanted someone to get in there and kick some butt. Yes, everyone likes flowery rhetoric but come on enough with the Mr. Nice Guy routine.  

I would suggest Obama take a page from the 2006 film, Idiocracy and show the people and the Republicans who‘s the boss. The clip at the link below is from a presidential address from the Black president in the film. An interesting feature of this clip, the South Carolina delegation yells out in during the president’s address. This film was made long before Obama was elected so this is a case of life imitating art.

American people needs help and now. And after the 2010 elections, we have let the people who wrecked the country partially back into power. This is the time when we need to double down and take no prisoners. Obama needs to do something to directly and overtly help the people; nothing subtle, no bloody tax cuts, no obscure crap. He needs to do something purely populist and he needs to do it now. 

Ciao for now,
