Obama and Our Government
Wednesday, February 17, 2016
Today's government is far from what our forefathers intended it to be. What was supposed to be a free and united country, has turned into a hate filled, vicious society. Issues including: racism, abortion, gun control, Obamacare, immigration, and so much more are being debated daily. President Obama has put our country in such deep trouble that I fear we will not be able to rise above it.
Barack Obama is one of the worst presidents we have had in over 36 years. Our debt has nearly doubled since he took office, reaching a little over 19 trillion dollars. The unemployment rate is uncomfortably high and almost half of Americans are dependent on the government for financial needs. Race is a bigger issue than ever with the Trayvon Martin case and the Ferguson, Missouri shooting. Obama did more to stir up the issue than to subdue it. At the beginning of his term, President Obama signed a stimulus package that was suppose to boost our economy which failed miserably costing us billions of dollars. Plus, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), which promised the millions of those without health insurance coverage, covered less than 30% of those estimated.
President Obama has also failed in being a mature leader and friend when it comes to other countries. He pulled our troops out of Iraq as soon as possible and ignored them when the terror threat returned, offering no assistance at all. He continued to ignore Iraq as the Islamic state got worse, adventually admitting he had no plan to help them. He failed to shut down Guantanamo Bay which cost the FBI resources. He also failed to suppress the illegal immigrant issue, but at least he had time in his schedule to go golfing!
With the upcoming presidential election, if we allow another democrat to get into office, we will probably become a socialist country. Socialism takes away our freedoms in business and eliminates our desire for success. Based on the facts stated above, we need a leader who will take our constitution for how it was intended to be and not change it to fit his/her desires. If we can elect a republican into office, I believe our country will regain some of what we have lost over the past eight years. - Les Anya
What if the government was a joke? What if the President of the United States was not the Head of State. How should citizens react towards the president? The government is fallen, corrupted, and like a building being demolished. When a president is elected, he has to take the oath of the Constitution. President Obama took that oath but has not followed the Constitution. He is making it harder and harder for people to get guns. The second Amendment says that people have the right to keep and bear arms. He is also letting millions and millions of babies die each day through abortion. So what kind of government is this? The government is an institution to protect the people. But what if the president does not use that power? Nowadays the people who run the government are the rich and want power. There are billionaires out there that you don't even know. So what can we do to stop this? As citizens of the U.S. we have to impeach the president of the U.S. and elect a Christian. The whole idea of the government started out based on God and back then the government was a lot better. It is simple, if you follow God's ways, you will live a happy and safe life. But that will never happen if citizens of the United States don't stand up for what is right.
