More Hope And Change?

  I heard on the news recently that President Obama says,  his reelection is still about hope and change. Well, as I see it there are a lot of things in Obama's first term that have not changed First,  unemployment remains stuck at 8.1 percent despite the passage of Obama's 87 billion dollar stimulus package passed,  in February of 2009. The housing market,  is still a mess after four years with Obama. Obama's health care law in just days,  may be completely over turned by the Supreme Court so that may not change the cost of health care for anyone. Obama,  hasn't really dealt with the problem of Illegal immigration he did change the name of illegal immigrants to undocumented immigrants  a change I am sure will help deal with the problem. I suppose now if illegal immigrants cross our border at least society won't make them feel so bad after all we wouldn't want to stigmatize anyone would we? America's credit rating that has changed it has been lowered on Obama's watch. Let's see, how about America's  national security around the world?  Iran,  is ever closer to obtaining nuclear weapons despite all of Obama's charm and meaningless sanctions. Obama,  seems unwilling to do anything to stop the slaughter of the innocent in Syria. He says he is a friend of Israel but their crisis with Iran, hasn't changed. The national debt , now that something Obama,  has made a definite change in he has increased the nation debt by nearly six trillion  dollars in just for years and Obama,  now holds the record of being the most expensive President, in all of America's nearly, 236 years as a nation. Today,  I heard on the news that the nations GDP that's gross domestic product grew only 1.9 percent last quarter that is sure a change from the  three percent that had been expected. Today,  there was a change in the number of Americans filing for first time unemployment benefits it went up to a whopping 183000 that is 23000 more than economist had expected. my goodness, Obama's hope and change has certainly done great things for this nation's economy.
  Here are some changes,  I could really appreciate seeing. First,  how about an increase in the number of new businesses?  How about an increase of at least four or more percent in the nations GDP? How about a massive rise in new job creation? How about a rise in new home construction coupled with a massive decrease in the home foreclosure rate? How about a serious budget cut proposal  followed by a mandatory balanced budget amendment? How about a totally new tax code or better still,  a nation wide flat tax? This kind of change I think most Americans, could really appreciate. While we're at it,  how about a change in Presidents ? I think we need a new one if only because,  almost anyone would be better than what we have now. However,  I realize,  there are those who like what Obama,  has done in his first four years. I suppose if most Americans, should choose to reelect Obama,  there is at least  one change I can promise you, that  will occur things,  will go from bad, to worse! As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
