Why this is NOT the Obamination's fault..

I sit here and rip on the Bamster on a daily basis. I have nightmares about his vision for America. I read the liberal newspapers every day and am guaranteed to have a new topic to set me off. It appears these days that almost every single thing they do or say ticks me off. The current collapse (economically, socially and otherwise) we are in is NOT Obama's fault, however. While Obama does lie on a daily basis through his non-sequiter arguments and political doublespeak, he has been true to his campaign promises- foster class warfare and bring "the change we need". Whos' fault is this mess? To 56% of America- IT IS YOUR FAULT.



You voted for this change. I mean...it makes total sense...we were the world's leading superpower with the highest standard of living on the planet. OBVIOUSLY we would want to change that, right? Everyone keeps talking about the "average American" who is "dumb" and "stupid". Is that what the "average American" has become??? It was the "average American" who picked up his soon-to-be-outlawed 1770's version-of-the-assault-rifle and fought and won freedom from the most powerful nation on earth at the time. It was the "average American" who moved across the plains, blazing new trails and exploring the plains, Rockies and Pacific coast. It was the "average American" who opened factories in the 1880's and worked in the plants to make us an industrialized nation. It was the "average American" who fought for freedom in 2 world wars. It was the "average American" who made this country what it is (or what it was, anyway). So how then , can we say that the "average American" is "stupid" and "dumb"? Have they become so?

Today we think of the "average American" and a blue collar worker who works 40 hours a week and goes home to sit on their duff and watch "American Idol", "Lost" or "The Bachelor". Note: the news is not anywhere in there. By their own admission, they "do not care" or consider themselves "apathetic". Did the "average American 233 years ago "not care"? Did the "average American" talk about the "horrors" of Teddy Roosevelt and his big stick policy? No. They didn't.

They also did not spend money they didn't have. Well, technically they did, and those that did lost their house. We seem to think that we live in some bubbly fantasy world where the streets are paved with chocolate and we have gumdrop stoplights. We are like toddlers who say "I want that" and then cry when we can't get it. Not having a recliner or a plasma TV is seen as "suffering". Nevermind that kids are stepping on Russian landmines in Afghanistan or starving to death in Ethiopia. You are "suffering"....from what? 8 years of George Bush? Did George Bush sign that mortgage you cannot afford? Did George Bush decide buy that gas-guzzling car in your driveway that you complain about filling up at high gas prices? Did George Bush invest your life savings into non-tangible assets of no set value known as "stocks"? NO. Did Barack Obama? NO. YOU DID.

Our political system is broken for one clear reason- there will never be a politician who is going to stand up and say "We're in a crisis, and you know what? It's our fault. We did this to ourselves. No, you cannot have that because we cannot afford it. No, I am not going to help you because you need to start by helping yourself. No, it is not McDonald's fault you spilled hot coffee on yourself...you, ma'am, are an idiot."

So the question I ask myself almost every single day- How did the same person who picked up his musket, risked his life and sacrificed everything for his principals become the abomination that we have today that sits on his couch watching 30 Rock or Larry King, feeling sorry for himself and blaming "the man" for getting laid off? How did we become a society of people who would rather buy rims and pimp their ride rather than take care of their kids, only to blame Bush for not having a good life? How did we become a society where a murderer is not guilty of murder, because he is a victim of a harsh society?

Is Obama bringing change? Yep. Did you vote for it? Yep. When Obama bankrupts the country and turns us into a socialist democracy, who's fault is it, really?

.....Your fault.
