GOT CHANGE?

All eyes were on the Havre City races yesterday and now with a new day we recall that President Obama has been with us for one full year. A year ago in his victory speech he proclaimed that it was a new day in America and further went on to promise there would be changes in how Washington does business. He promised no new taxes to the middle class and pledged to go after the wealthy and the greedy corporate America.




So how is he doing with those promises? His first order of business within a week of being in office increased funding to third world countries including the restoration of abortion assistance dollars that were previously cut by President Bush. He then started his “apologetic” tour around the globe trying to convince our neighbors, friends, and enemies that we really weren’t the nation of Christians that the original founding fathers had proclaimed us to be, but rather a nation of diversity that accepted all faiths, government creeds, and ideals with favoritism to none.

It didn’t take long down the Obama Care road to realize that middle class America was going to have to buck up and pay a “little” more for the “good of all”. First on the tax increase spotlight was the untaxed retirement – health benefits of the very Union workers that had voted Obama into office. Social issues such as abortion and gay rights have made substantial progress under the liberal Obama administration.

Obama immediately started replacing seasoned leadership in the Capital with his comrades including the appointment of Czars for nearly everything that moves negating the influence of the various departments of our government. The only promise that this blogger can see that he has kept thus far is that we did indeed get “change”

Oh how I wish for the days of a good old “respectable” liberal like Lieberman.
