Are Americans Going Soft?

  It seems, that President Obama thinks that Americans are going soft. Perhaps, the President feels that maybe Americans are somewhat spoiled,  and just expect too much from him. The President, may think,  that Americans haven't been patient enough,  when it comes to waiting for the economy to turn around. I mean,  think about it, it's only been almost three years since President Obama took office. Unemployment is only nine point one percent. The President has only spent a mere,  three trillion dollars trying to stimulate the sluggish economy. Maybe, Americans should go a little softer,  on the weary President.Perhaps, the President should take another vacation, or play a few more rounds of gulf after all,  Americans have waited this long,  what's a little longer?
  To be fair, to the President, I think,  he may,  be right at least, to some extent. Think about it, if Americans are unemployed, why should they rush to look for a job,  when many Americans have been on unemployment benefits  for almost two years now. It is true that many Americans are over weight and out of shape.One reason for this may be,  if your out of work,  you don't have to worry,you won't starve. You can always,  get food stamps and in many cases,  you'll eat better than many people,  who have to work to pay for them! It is true,  kids today,  may play too many video games in stead of doing something a bit more active but when those same kids buy those high priced video games doesn't that help the nations economy?
  The real truth may be, that if Americans are going soft, to some extent,   the government is some what responsible. The government,  is constantly,  throwing money into various social programs,  all in the name of fighting poverty. In the end however, all that may have been accomplished,  is a generation of Americans who have become totally dependant,  on the government! Now,  President Obama wants to try another job stimulus package after all, it worked so well the first time! Sometimes I think President Obama's thinking on the nation's economy well, let's just say, his thinking, is going,  a little soft. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just some words, to think on.
