"Looking Ahead"

It is now officially 2010 Christmas celebrations are over and it is time to face the reality of daily life. Most people are returning to work and the routine of life, some people are beginning new jobs while many others still face the prospect of unemployment. How we face unpleasant situations tell much about our character, misery and grumbling seems to be the order of the day if we allow negative circumstances to dictate our attitudes.As a conservative I could become very depressed over the events of the last couple of weeks by our Congress and the Chief Executive of our nation. It appears that a government health-care bill is inevitable and the terrorists are becoming more bold in their efforts to frighten our populous; even though oil prices are fairly stable the cost of fuel continues to rise, Iran has flipped off the White House, and my favorite commentator suffered chest pains and is in the hospital. It certainly seems we, as conservatives, don't have much to cheer about. Take heart my friends all of these things will work to our advantage if they are approached with the proper attitude. Already there are members of Congress with buyers remorse over health care after returning home to unhappy constituents, eventually those congressmen will be going into survival mode and attitudes could change as November approaches. Obama is now on the hot seat over Iran and the rising threat of terrorism and he can no longer afford to soft peddle national defense if he wishes to maintain any credibility with moderate democrats and independents; if he continues as he has in the past he will not only lose the moderates but also the far left base that are unhappy because he is not more of a dove then he already has shown himself to be. Obama is in an identity crisis, and no matter which way he turns he will alienate a portion of the population of voters. We have even seen a democratic congressman jump ship, I'm sure this is not sitting well with Obama and Nancy Pelosi, who Obama is not very enamored with and is thinking she is a political liability that he may need to cut loose. Rush Limbaugh suffered chest pains and was hospitalized over Christmas, and the left responded with the grace I expected by a plethora of insults, jokes, and even death wishes. This classless barrage of attack against an individual who exercises his free speech rights so openly only shows the impact that he has and the fear that those jackals have over his influence on the American public. We Americans can feel pretty good about what is happening on the politcal horizon, our nation is waking up and the Obama administration is now standing in the spotlight. The "Idol", it seems, has feet of clay; the shine is off the apple. Obama has been president for a year and Americans now see they are worse off then ever before. He cannot go on blaming the Bush administration, the people no longer will accept that lame excuse. If Obama's policies don't begin to show some fruit, he knows come November he will no longer have the whip hand in congress, and he fears that . Let not your hearts be troubled my fellow conservative Americans 2010 will be a good year for us!
