State of the Union

   Gosh, President Obama has such a nice smile.


    I really liked that he opened his speech by addressing the soldiers who gave their lives for our country. I quite honestly believe one of the only worthwhile things he has done for America during his presidency is bring our courageous troupes home. That is no small task and Americans around the world, including myself, are thankful for his efforts in restoring our troupes back to us. And he is correct, if Americans showed a bit of teamwork and collaboration we could be a much better people and country.

   I would, however, appreciate his words of restoring the economy and that we could develop a more efficient means of job opportunities if he actually made good on his word. The only thing I've ever seen happen monetarily under this man's watch is the economy has gone up in agonizing flames, and struggled to return to its natural thriving state.
   He's creating the debt by failing to prevent the government from spending money our pitiful economy cannot afford. He has the power to do so, but stands by and watches us sink further and further into the pit of debt.       He is not wrong when he claims that our union is getting stronger. It very obviously has since the slow and torturous beginning of the recession in 2008. My father owns a small business and we've struggled greatly in the last four years. He is responsible for the lives of my mother, my three sisters, and myself. He has induced a huge amount of stress on himself because there has never been quite enough money to get us through comfortably. Small businesses like my family's have weakened and some have failed under the leadership of Obama. I also ignore the small bit of natural born conservative instinct that refuses to quiet inside me that there is a fantastic chance that President Obama might be talking his way into the heads of desperate Americans looking for any solution to end their poverty to win this election just like he used the same tactics before.
  No man with a functional mind can honestly say that his presidency has been successful. We have faltered under his hand. We have struggled and lost much credibility with the governments of other countries that we depend on to unite with us if ever there is a means of threat. Our economy is pathetic. Something tells me that even though I do not dislike Obama as a person, as I cannot rightfully do because I do not know him on a personal level, that I should not trust him. And I don't. And however charming his 2012 State of the Union may be, my opinions of him are unchanging.
