America Desperately Needs New Leadership

Concerning President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, perhaps it was best summed up by John Baer who wrote a column for the Philadelphia Daily News:

"What we got last night was pretty much 2010 solutions, as if a year hadn't passed. And what we saw was a sea of well-dressed public servants constantly clapping like a bunch of circus seals -74 times in 62 minutes. (But, hey, if we had their salaries and benefits, we'd probably be clapping too)."

Americans, as a nation, will never be able to get ourselves out of debt as long as Obama is in office, for he would rather just spend.

Who do you think will have to pay this debt back?

The American people, that's who.

He allows our borders to be wide open to let illegals in.

They, in turn, receive benefits that they are not entitled to, and Americans pay for it.

If Obama was even half serious about it, there would never have been a measure blocking Arizona from doing what they wanted to do and that is keep the illegals out!

Americans have no problem with immigrants coming to the United States for a better life. Americans just want them to do it legally and learn the English language if they plan on living here.

There has not been an increase in Social Security benefits for two years now because there is no inflation. Give me a break.

Try telling that to the retired couple who have to decide to eat or buy their medications or stay warm in the winter. Tell that to anyone who is on a limited income.

Groceries are up.
Gas is up and is projected to go to $5 per gallon

If things and prices keep going the way they are, everything will be much, much more expensive much sooner than they were two years ago.

I do not know about other readers, but many Americans now think this Democrat has been in office two years too long and, in 2012, "We The People will finally elect a "real president" - one who will take America forward instead of a spiraling, downward dark abyss as Obama has done in less than two years!
