Obama Whines Some More in College Speech

I just ran across bits of a speech that President Obama gave at Carnegie Mellon today. Obama feels that the American Dream may be slipping away, and as usual blames Republicans as the cause for blocking his agenda. Ummm, last I saw, the Democrats STILL dominate the Senate and House. If he can't get anything passed its because most people don't want it!

He blames Bush for turning a $237 billion surplus left by Clinton (and a Republican Congress) into a $1.3 trillion deficit (with both a Republican and Democrat Congress). Yes, Bush added to the deficit with too much spending on two wars and domestic policy. Too much spending I said. Of course, Obama makes no mention of the fact that the Congressional Budget Office projects an additional $9 trillion in deficits over the next 10 years, with Obama at the helm.

Blame, blame, blame. When will this man get it that his whining is seriously getting old. Americans want a bold leader with similar values and ideals as they do. Reagan, yes, Reagan understood this. Seems to me that the economy did awfully well from 1982 to 1999. Reagan's tax cuts and optimism got the ball rolling, and Bill Clinton, after a rocky start, got smart and got out of the way. Unfortunately, we ended up with the tech bubble at the end of his term, but there is no way to avoid bubbles...history is laden with them.

All I ever hear from Obama is that the old policies of the past did not work. Politics as usual. Tax cuts do work, but when the government spends too much, it crowds out the private sector, and well, you have where we are now. Do we really want to be like Europe?

We need a new leader, or we need a new Obama. I hope this man grows up fast, because he reminds more and more of a whiny child. The press is starting to get this too. Nobody wants Jimmy Carter part II.
