Anti Americans posing as citizens

I think I may jump off the St. John's I-4 bridge if I hear one more neo conservative say that Obama's adminitration is doing nothing and our country is worse for him being there. I get my news from a variety of sources: the radio, (usually NPR), the internet, the newspaper and more than one station on TV. Walter Cronkite said that to stay informed correctly one should get one's news information from more than one source. Why? Errors are made ie:Merideth Viera not knowing that the Fox that is a hero to Canada is Terry Fox, not Michael J., and news sources can be biased (Fox News- obviously no connection to the previous story).
So I consider myself to be as informed or in most cases, MORE informed than the average person. I can usually out argue most ignorant individuals. Therefore, when I hear what I previously stated about our current administration, I am outraged. Not because someone has another opinion, but that their opinion is based in complete ignorance. Most likely that ignorance is based on laziness or the inability to intellectually absorb reality.
When he took office he said he was not going to be able to fix the country's problems in a year. He hoped things would be better, but warned over and over again it will take time. Most people from the depression are gone, but those few who are around remind us it took 12 years! Thankfully, due to many smart decisions by our policymakers (who did not take up the partisan cause of always opposing the president), we have a lot of safety nets in place so people are not starving. Are we seening any emaciated people walking around? If you look at pictures from the 30's people were terribly thin and standing in soup lines. These people were starving! Today we have welfare, food stamps and unemployment compensation. These very government programs are keeping our children from starving and most from living in the streets. The neo cons who scream "government is too big! return it to the people!" are probably the same ones who cannot seem to find a dollar for the guy at the stop light. When our county decided to build a new high school in 2003, and got tax money to do it, it took them 7 years to build it. We needed it by the next year, but no one cried "foul", no one said "lets get rid of the crew building it or the people who approved it because it is not being done in our time!" Our new road was to take 2 years to finish, it took 2 1/2. Should we have fired everyone at the end of 2 because it wasn't done? No. What about the many who undergo chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Are they guaranteed that that treatment will work in the time frame their doctors gave them. I doubt it. Yet how do the doctors know how long or what to do? Perhaps it is because these cancers have been around a long time, many people have had them, there is lots of research and experience to base these decisions on. Hmmm, how many recessions have we had of this severity? Absolutely no one knows how long this recession will last, nor the exact steps to fix it.
Yet somehow, these neo-cons think they KNOW how long it should take to dig us out of this mess of an economy. Amazingly, they know even better than those who not only went to school and got PhD's, but they know better than those who have spent lifetimes watching and studying many countries economy. (My words to them are "shut the hell up!")
Every economic advisor, professor or economist, has stated that the stimulus has saved the economy from disaster. They will also state that there are indicators indicating that the economy is improving: increased GDP, the DOW over 10,000 (remember when it hit 4,000?), housing prices and home owner ship increasing, and unemployment slightly decreasing. In 2009, Obama agreed with all his economic advisors and told us that unemployment will be the last to respond to recovery. Why do these neo cons think they have the right to lie about things they know nothing about? Why do they have the right to falsely influence even more people to be anti-Obama and all he is trying to do? When will these people and all people for that matter realize that these dark, gloomy negative lies only serve to hurt? Why do you want to hurt fellow Americans? Don't you get it that when the economy improves, your neighbor, friend, relative, and YOU will only benefit? Has the idea of supporting those who are trying to improve things never occurred to them? The most important factor in restoring the economy is "consumer confidence". This is where you and I, the consumer, is confident to go out and spend money. Strange how saving money now, is actually hurting the economy. So, again, why don't the neo-cons realize how much harm they are actually doing?
Or do they all believe Obama is lying, that he has another agenda. First of all, he wrote about all these things 4 years ago before even declaring his run for president. He is literally doing what he wrote he would like done. Secondly, what the hell alternative agenda could he have? Uh, to overthrow a dictator, start a war and get his name in the history books while bankrupting the country? Been done. Wire tap ordinary citizens, stripping them of their civil rights, imprison anyone of Middle Eastern descent, and torture them for the purpose of finding the one responsible for the worst terrorist attack on the US? Been done. Maybe lower taxes for the rich to which group he does belong to, and shift the tax burden to the middle class? Been done.
WHAT OTHER AGENDA DOES HE HAVE EXCEPT TO IMPROVE AMERICA? Get educated on these matters, then your opinion counts.
We are all responsible for getting this economy started again. We need to get on the same team.
Thank you,
