Some of the decisions made in Washington this week stand as a monumental victory of American people over Barack Obama and radical liberal ideas. President Obama’s decision to extend the Bush tax cuts to everyone, including the wealthy is a really big deal! His pledge to end these tax cuts during his campaign were one of the most important pledges he had made to those who had voted for him. Not only has he blatantly let down the men and women who elected him, but he has also made a critical decision to do exactly what he, his democratic counterparts, and his voters did not want. He was forced to make this decision because of the votes Americans cast on November 2. We won, America. Barack Obama’s agenda was compromised because we stood up and voted against him. For him to pursue the direction he genuinely wants to follow, at this point, would be political suicide, and he knows that. There is no other reason he would do something so drastically logical and good for America like extending the tax cuts.
President Obama referred to the Republican House as terrorists who were holding…I’m not sure who they were holding; he did not specify---maybe Democrats or Americans, at large, as hostages. What an insensitive comment to make and a weak judgment to pass! If the president held any of the self-evident values of our Constitution as esteemed principles he would understand that our country and our politics are centered on a system of checks and balances. It has been made clear that America does not want what Obama is peddling and, ultimately, he has just been checked. Now he is licking his wounds and trying to find the balance. Was his sole credential, besides briefly being a senator, a job as a community planner or a community blamer?
This one fact demands stating. If it were not for an involved and proud nation of voters who are free to vote and free to express their opinions, and had this nation not exercised their freedoms and expressed their opinions on November 2, Barack Obama would be taking a very different direction than what he is being pulled by his ear to do right now.

- “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson
- “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
Thomas Jefferson
- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government---lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
