"Obamerica!"

It has been one month since my last article, and I’m still astounded that the American voter made the choice of a continued reign of Barack Obama as President of the United States. What disturbs me the most is the total lack of knowledge possessed by my country’s voters. Slogans, platitudes and foul campaign tactics were the foundation of Obama’s campaign. Obviously, those who voted for him completely disregarded all of the disaster of Obama’s previous four years. We must now face the burden of an additional four years of overtaxing and high government spending, coupled with a decline in security for the people of America. Even Russian President Putin voiced his disbelief at the results of our Presidential election, citing the lack of knowledge our voting public exhibited.

Obamacare is already hurting the American public because of stress on both small and large businesses. Companies are cutting work schedules to under 29 hours for their employees in an effort to maintain a small profitability margin; meanwhile, men and women across the nation must try to find additional work to make up for lost hours of pay.

Obama continues to play “the same old song” of more taxing of the wealthy, which will only stifle investment and economic growth. Economists across the world have voiced concern of this type of policy and it has been reflected in most of the world’s markets. Prices are climbing at the grocery store and unemployment is at a stagnant level showing no positive signs of actual improvement.

The Republicans are showing weakness in negotiations for new reforms of the tax system which doesn’t bode well for business and investment in new ventures to spur growth. If the Republicans knuckle under to Obama’s minions, the next four years may mark the end of a free economy and a move toward government control of every phase of American life. Obama has already said something about ending term limits; perhaps he sees himself as “president for life”. Personally, I feel Obama is enough of a megalomaniac to believe he could rule forever, and some of those who voted him in would be perfectly comfortable with him as a permanent resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I know a country who felt the same way back in the 1930s.

There is talk of government freely looking at personal e-mails of private citizens without the need of a judicial order; bye-bye 1^st amendment rights, and gun rights will be right behind that; just like a guy in Germany from a few years ago.

I dread the future under Barack Obama and I know we will have to face it. Those who hate the free market and individual freedom must be doing cartwheels over the re-election of this man, as he may be marking the demise of America and the remaking of “Obamerica”.

I don’t know what the average American can do now; the fringe has taken over our country and the “new normal” has replaced morality and good sense. I hope we can ride out the next four years with as little damage as possible. Pray for America to be guided by God, we need His wisdom. Our Constitution is about to be thrown in the blender; I hope we can keep some of America before our President destroys it!
