Obama

I see Obama on the news, I see Obama in the newspaper, I see Obama all over the internet. But I have faild to see where he is keeping his promises. I fail to see where he is making old enemies to friends. I fail to see where race relations int he US are better than before. I fail to see where the economy is stronger. I fail to see all the rainbows and unicors he promised.
What I do see from him is bullshit being rammed down people's throats. I see an administration that is more closed than every before. I see a president doing exactly what the left claimed Bush did for 4 years. I see freedom of speach being eroded. I see freedom of the press being destroyed. I see unconstitutional take overs of private buisnesses. I see unconstitutional programs that allow people to "taddel" on their friends and neighbors when they do not toe the party line.
I do see many people out in the streets protesting what they feel is wrong and getting insulted and 2 2 occasions assulted for it. I read about kids in school who are afraid to voice their opinions. I have seen a deficet doubled in record time. I see the administration wanting to triple it this same year with policies and plans a very clear majority of the people simply don't want. But these people are being assulted and insulted.
I see a major gap forming in the US. A gap that was started under Bush but quickly being widned under Obama. But Obama promised to be the great healer, to reach across the isle and work with his opposition. Well just another empty promise form a politician.
I am worried about America's future. Is spending keeps up at the pace right now the USA will be broke in 10 years or less. If the gap continues to widen we stand a good chance at having a civil war.
You might think that I hate Obama. I honestly don't hate the man. No I think I could sit with him over a good whiskey and talk history or ideas. Not debate or argue but discuss. I honestly think Obama to be a good father to his children as well as a good husband to his wife. I also think he is trying to do the right thing in his opinion. I just don't agree with his ideas or policies.
I have asked before and many times in the recient past "Why did people vote for Obama other than the fact that he is not Bush or that he is half black" Still no answer to my question. I have asked in forums, on myspace and facebook. Still silence. I have read Dr King's "I have a dream" speach many times in the past few months. I have still yet to see his dream come to pass. Obama was NOT voted for becasue of what kind of a man he is. No the reasons given above are the only 2 reasons people voted for him. Untill someone can show me and prove to me that I am wrong I will continue to fight against his destructive policies.
