Obama before elected, was making people believe he was going to save the world, he was godlike, he was going to change the way politics work. Now he is saying no we can't, or we can but not until you elect me for a second term, and after I have served that term, and then things might change.

I understand the fans of Obama hear, see, and speak no evil of the man but sooner or later; they will need to pull that curtain back to see the real guy behind the wizard's persona. I can see it now, all of America standing their waiting for answers until Dorothy steps up and says, "You had no intentions of getting us what we needed. You are a bad man." Then Obama will brake down and say, "No, I am a good man, just a bad wizard."

One year ago, Obama promised so many he would fix everything. People who believed in him slowly heard him say after the election that things are worse then he thought and things can't get done. Now, Obama wants us to fix things, so my question is, when can we trust politicians that promise one thing and give us another? By the way, I did not drink the cool aid and I don't accept Obama as my personal lord and savior.

Now we have a stimulus package, the mother of all stimulus packages worth close to a trillion dollars. What half of this package is made up of is pork, fillers that mean nothing for the growth our economy. The fillers included free condoms, I guess is the population is down; the government wont need to spend as much! Other crazy stuff for the growth of America is new sod for a Mall, Bee insurance, and money for illegals.

If Obama was going to make good on anything he said during his campaign why don't he just do what would be right instead of feeling the power. Why is it, when someone does something bad and we confront them we car the bad people?

Doesn't Obama realize, when you print money as fast as he is doing after only ten or twelve days in office, soon the dollar will be like Mexican money, worthless? When you have a trillion dollars to spend, why not spend it in segments. Once a month, use the money for better ideas. I guess smart men know what they are doing and this is what should be scaring us to death.

If you look at it, Obama holds the highest honor in the world being the commander and chief. Why, I wonder does he not dress the part as did the 43 before him? Does he think this means change we need? i decided to sit with my son, he is fifteen now and I would like him to start thinking about politics. He will be of voting age in a few years and I would love to see him involved with issues and facts. I sat with him and Obama came on the television. He was sitting in the Oval Office with a wrinkled shirt and no jacket. I said nothing but my fifteen year old son said, "Does he think this is a joke?"

I respect the office of the presidency. Obama had my fullest respect until he started chipping away a path to my disrespect. So I leave you with this. Obama is truly the wizard. He surrounds himself with little people with little minds as he stands behind the curtain controlling our fate. The little dog, the American people will soon pulls back that curtain to expose the wiz as a mere man. He then shows us his true colors by reaching into his bag of tricks. First he pulls out a heart because America's was broken after all. Then he pulls out courage only it is disguised as a crew better known as his team. Then he pulls out that thing that shows us that he is smarter then us all, and I quote, "I WON, YOU LOST", only we don't get to wake up and no it isn't all just a dream. This is why me just might fail, because he was just a politician doing his thing.
