Pocahontas

Today I rented Pocahontas from the library for Tyler. We were watching it together this morning. During the scene where Pocahontas and John Smith 1st meet, they are singing together and holding hands. Tyler turned to me and asked.. “Mom, when I grow up so big, can I go in the t.v. and hold hands with that girl too?” Aww, I guess my little guy has a crush. Does it get much cuter than that?

Why Obama was NOT the right choice?

Why is Obama not the right choice for America?

Obama was a US Senator for less that 2 years before he started his run for President. In short he lacks experience.

Obama holds many socialist views for example, he wants to tax the wealthy more and simply give the money to poor people who already don’t pay any income taxes. He wants universal health care. Many places around the world have universal health care and it sucks. He wants to tax anything he deems as unclean energy to offset global warming which now studies are starting to show is a bunch of bull. He wants open boarders and he wants to allow the 10 million plus people who broke our laws and came to the country the opportunity to stay. In his eyes its ok to reward bad behavior, like breaking our laws.

Some other issues and items I disagree with him on are

He wants abortion on demand
The democrats feel a big federal government is better (I’m for smaller government and working hard to become successful)
Obama is a big supporters of unions which is bad for business
Some of his associations have been very very questionable
His party strongly supports a “Fairness Doctrine” which will allow government to monitor the radio and TV airways and require a station to give equal time to both sides of an issue. This is not only violates the 1st amendment of our constitution (which is the freedom of speech) but is an effort to take away the one area of the media that conservatives control over liberals.

Finally between Clinton and Bush this country is BANKRUPT we can’t afford a tax and spend type of guy and Obama is proposing no less than 1 trillion in new spending over the next 10 years and since the government is involved I’m sure that number is on the low side.

What I hope is going to happen with Obama as President.

I hope that Obama is going to be a great President.
I hope Obama will unite us as a country.
I hope that Obama is going to protect the American way and not see his election as a mandate for radical change in this country.
I hope that Obama is going to cut wasteful spending and only minimally increase taxes.
I hope that Obama can keep us safe.
I hope Obama is not going to try and turn us into a socialist country.
I hope at the end of 4 or 8 years I can say Obama was a good President and I was wrong about him.
