" BAROCK STAR!!"

Last weekend, I traveled to Chicago to visit family and take a nostalgic ride into the city, to the places of my early childhood. I lived in the city proper until I was about ten years old, then we moved to the "burbs". I had some real revelations as I walked down the street. I saw a hole in my grade school fence that had not been repaired since 1951, I saw the curb where I had my first fight with my buddy Tony (I won!). I walked around the corner where a convenient store now occupies the space that was where "Foley's Sinclair" used to be; our old neighborhood grocery store, "Moppins", is now a tavern. Things certainly change over the years. I remember my first presidential race, Dwight D. Eisenhower vs. Adlai E. Stevenson. I remember Dad liked "Ike". Actually everybody liked Ike. The nation was facing the possibility of a recession and Ike was a warrior hero of WWII; a proven leader. He held the peoples trust. He handily won the election and proceeded to cut taxes, and strengthen defense. He recognized the threat of communism, and stood firmly in his opposition to a dangerous foe. He followed what the American people wanted. Television was new back then so we didn't see the President every ten minutes. He made statements to the nation as needed; without drama, and without political motivation. By following the will of the American people, President Eisenhower easily won re-election. America liked "Ike", because Ike liked and respected the American people. He knew he worked for them!

A little over a week ago, Missouri had a vote on the federal health-care bill. This was a good barometer of how the nation feels about "Obamacare". If you all remember the health-care bill (2000+ pages) was passed along party lines by the democrats. National polls overwhelmingly showed disapproval of the bill by the American people. There were demonstrations across America against this bill, yet Congress and the President pushed it on the people. Television was a virtual marathon of commercials touting "Obamacare" as "the greatest thing since sliced bread". Oddly enough, Americans weren't buying into it. Well, Missouri really made it clear about the way Middle-America feels about "Obamacare". 71% of the voters rejected the federal initiative; a HUGE number. Nearly three quarters of those voters are saying "SHOVE IT", to Obamacare. They have passed an amendment to their constitution that says they are not obligated to purchase health care provided by the federal government. Now, we all know how much Barack Obama likes to sue the states, so stay tuned. I'm sure Eric Holder will be gunning for Missouri. After all, what right has 71% of the voters have in the choice of health care?

How much longer will Obama, Pelosi, and Reid ignore the people of America in pursuit of an agenda that will force America into a fiscal abyss of financial irresponsibility and loss of individual rights? Unlike Dwight Eisenhower, Barack Obama has no regard for the will of the American people. He has shown he feels more connected to the will of the U.N., illegal aliens and socialist radical ideas, than those precepts that are America. America liked "IKE". America is losing patience with our self-serving "BaROCK STAR" president. SEND HIM A MESSAGE IN NOVEMBER!!!
