It is true there is a Kenya birth certificate for Barack Obama floating around on the internet; it is also true that Barack has said he was a Kenyan, born in Kenya. However, let’s look at the circumstances when he made these claims. He was promoting his book! It was advantageous for him to claim to be a foreigner at that time. He was just trying to sell more books. He also obtained assistance to college as a foreign student. Again, it gave him an advantage to claim he was foreign born. Now that he wishes to remain as President of the United States it is advantageous, indeed necessary, for him to be a citizen of the United States, so the birth certificate from Hawaii is necessary. Is he a liar is no longer the question; the question is when did he lie. The truth is not important to Barack Hussein Obama. The Democratic Party and the citizens must make the call if he should be president. This must be really frustrating for the Democratic Party. What happens if new evidence comes forth and Barack cannot legally be President? He should be impeached, and will be if the Republicans control the Senate.
For me, I am much more concerned about his lack of a resume than I am about his lack of a birth certificate. Even before the election, I was saying, “What has Barack Obama done? And where has he done it? From my perspective as a manager with over 25 year’s management experience, I felt he had no management experience. As soon as Barack Obama began picking his staff, I knew he was not qualified to be President. Just no management experience and as time went on, we saw the inability to make decisions, which is quite common with entry-level management, and perhaps some immaturity or lack of desire to manage.
As I say, the first clue was how Barack Obama picked his staff. Anyone who has any management experience, or observed a successful organization, knows you must have a diversified staff. If not, everyone is thinking the same way and you never get a different point of view. Now I hear Barack complaining that none of his staff gives him any new ideas. I have news for you Barack, they do not have any new ideas, and they are all thinking the same way you think.
The second clue was Barack and his staff continued to complain about the problems that the administration of President Bush had left behind. It is OK to point out the problems or issues for the first 30 to 60 days. But by 90 days, you best have the issues identified and solutions in place. If someone was working for me and complained about the issues left behind by the previous administration six months into the job, I would do two things. Ask what did they have in place to correct the previous ‘errors’ and I would begin looking for a replacement, because I would know I had made a mistake in hiring, this young man is in well over his head.
But Barack not only continued to complain, he continued down the same path that President Bush had established! What was he changing? Nothing, he was just doing more of it! Perhaps only because he did not have the management maturity to make the necessary decisions. I feel President Bush lost control of spending when the liberal Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, (just compare gasoline prices the summer of 2006 with gasoline prices the summer of 2008 to see how the liberal Democrats affected the economy) and President Obama has continued doing more of the same. Agreeing or disagreeing with the ongoing military action is really not the point, has President Obama significantly changed what President Bush was doing is the question. If he has changed nothing, how can he continue to complain about the mess President Bush left behind? It has now been over 3 years, any competent manager would have never complained, they would have just taken the necessary action to correct the problems as they saw them.

We also know that Barack Obama has little, if any, understanding of economics. To support this statement, I go to none other than Barack Obama.
Barrack Obama said, “Under my plan electric prices will sky-rocket.” There are only two reasons any leader would lay out such a plan. 1. They have no understanding of economics 2. They are attempting to destroy the economy of the country. I am willing to give him the benefit of doubt and go with number 1. but as I have said, a good argument could be made for number 2. Some say there is a third, that Barrack Obama is pursuing an environmental policy. If that is the case, I will still go with number 1. Increasing electric energy costs has a negative effect on all of us, and because the poor spend a larger percentage of their income on energy, it has a larger impact on the poor than the rich. Increased energy prices will cost you more when you pay your utility bill; it will cost you more when you put gas in your car. It also costs the farmer more to raise and harvest their crops, thus increasing everyone’s food costs.
(Have you noticed that the government has taken the cost of food and the cost of energy out of the statistical bucket that measures inflation?) The truth is not important to Barack. Of course, any company that uses energy to produce a product must increase the cost of their product or lay off people, thus negatively impacting jobs. (Have you noticed that the government does not count people as unemployed once they stop collecting unemployment insurance?) The truth is not important to Barack. It is a marvel what one can do with statistics. As my college statistic professor said; “Statistics are like a bikini swim suit, what they revel is suggesting, but what they conceal is vital.” There are some who point out that the United States is now producing 11 percent more oil than we were in 2008. They say this as if Barack Obama has accomplished something. However, many of that same group has in the past, rejected more drilling because it takes five years to get the oil into production. If it is true that it takes five years to get the oil into production after we start, then the 11 percent increase must be credited to President Bush.
I believe I have made my case that, “Under my plan electric prices will sky-rocket.” is not a good plan or statement. What I fail to understand is why anyone would vote for a politician who has such a plan. If people really understood the ramifications of this statement Barack Obama would not get one vote. Michele would not even vote for him. |
