Barack Obama has been scrambling around the past five days making appearances in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Minnesota. While in Nevada Obama urged his listeners, “We’ve just begun. We’re just in the first quarter.” Presuming he has three quarters left and not just one he continues, “I can’t have you tired when we’re just getting started.”

Reverting back to his latest favorite expression, calling his opponents “Snake oil salesmen”, Obama continued to blame filibusters, poor attitudes, and a large portion of Americans he referred to as the “No-you-can’t” crowd as the obstacles to his “Change”.

The truth is the “No you can’t” crowd is very big and they don’t want Barack Obama’s change. The populace Barack Obama panders to may be equal in size but they do not possess even one half of the passion that the people who want him out of office do. When in current history do you recall anything like the Tea Party as we know it today emerging and potentially conquering a government and its agenda?

Conservative minds often toil with the beliefs and actions of conservative leaders but when is the last time you saw a liberal movement with the momentum the Tea Party has? Given the paradigm of statistical democratic voters, they could never construct a movement like the Tea Party because their ideas simply lack substance and long-term sustainability. It’s exactly like their perpetual attempts at hosting radio shows, which discuss their issues. People don’t listen to them, their ratings are low, they don’t get advertising, and they get cancelled. The reason Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, among dozens and dozens of others, get tuned into is because they discuss issues that people care about and they express their ideas with concision and logic. Barack Obama is doing his best to defy logic and America is simply responding.

My three main issues with Barack Obama and his agenda, as I have stated before, deal with health care, immigration, and his stimulus packages.

Socializing health care would be an epic gesture of what could follow in the next ten years. If our government can take over one industry why can it not take over another? And power of that magnitude has been proven by history to get out of control and to cause chaos.

It is a well-known fact that vast portions of liberal voters are ethnic minorities. I have absolutely no problems or judgments about that. My great-grandfather arrived on Ellis Island only four generations ago. But the contemporary calamity we face with illegal immigrants and their growing numbers is a giant elephant in the corner of everybody’s room that our government will not deal with. And, if left to liberal ideas, suppose we simply legalize all of them, completely ignoring the fact that they are criminals who broke our American laws by not undergoing naturalization. There are millions upon millions of them. The liberal train of thought is to legalize these people with complete amnesty regarding their premeditated crime of entering this country without proper documentation. To liberals, they feel like good Samaritans, but maybe all they are thinking about is votes to build their self-serving political careers.

Stimulus packages are already out of control. The monopoly money Barack Obama has thrown up into the air will indebt our born and unborn children and it has served no real purpose, other than to let the government step into the boardrooms of automotive manufacturers and banks. And, unfortunately, the economic policies Obama adheres to find the only solution to failure to be the distribution of more unprinted money.

1,933.7 miles to go.
