I made it a point last night to listen to your State of the Union speech. I have to say that you have delivered a very motivating speech. And by the way, I find you to be one of the most gifted orators. You made your points across with articulacy, passion and a great sense of humor.
Dear Mr. President, your speech came at a time when Scott Brown shocked the nation by winning the Kennedy seat in Massachusetts and drove through his victory the Democrat party into a frenzy of concern and dismay. So there was lot of cheering up to the “depressed” Democrats in your speech last night. That’s right, Mr. President: “We do not give up. We do not quit”. It may prove to be a “good thing” in its timing in terms of going back on track and focusing on the American people’s need in the Main Street before losing the “bigger battle” in November.
Now turning to the content of your speech, I felt that you got your priorities straight. You devoted about two-thirds of your speech to the economy as it is number one worry of American people. You are right the list of “what’s wrong with this nation” goes on and on but I am glad that you put unemployment as number one on that list and you mentioned the word “jobs” 29 times in your speech. Seventy percent of the US Gross Domestic Product is brought in by consumer spending. Consumers will not spend while they are unemployed or fearful of losing their jobs. And your first order was for the Congress to work on passing a second jobs’ bill. What I liked the most in that proposed bill slashing tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas and extending them to companies that create jobs in the US. That’s right, Mr. President. It is time to stop the bleeding and keep the jobs within our borders.
Mr. President, you said in your speech “They (the American people) don’t understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded, but hard work on Main Street isn’t”. The fact is that most Americans realize (or they’re beginning to) that they have been screwed over by your administration with the help of your Wall Street “advisers,” the Fed and the Treasury. While the “too big to fail” firms on Wall Street were bailed out in multi-billion dollars from tax-payers money, the average person on Main Street is looking for a job, a way to avoid his house being foreclosed and how to recoup his devastating losses in his retirement account and obviously gets furious when he reads about the bonuses those bankers are pulling in.
Mr. President, media keeps sharing with us that your approval rating has collapsed. I think you have answered that well when you said:” when I ran for President, I promised I wouldn’t just do what was popular -– I would do what was necessary”. Americans are out of jobs and they are much more interested in finding work than fixing a broken health system. And by the way, nobody seems to know what your health plan is all about. Besides, majority of people (including doctors) are apprehensive of the government taking over America’s health. People see the healthcare bill is 1,990 pages long or 363,000 words and say they do not want another “insane” tax code. So Mr. President, kudos to you in terms of doing what is necessary to save the American people.
Dear Mr. President, you claim you were a Constitutional lawyer. I was disappointed not to hear anything in terms of how to stop the unconstitutional madness with money creation and operation. I am disappointed that you did not mention anything about what our Founding Fathers warned of and that is that an entity can produce an item and consider by law that this item is money, lawful to use for the settlement of all and all out of thin air. All Congressmen and Senators must be taught a class in money, fiat money, gold and the Constitution. Mr. President, you make the perfect professor since you taught Constitutional law. It is sad to see that the only thing these political bums want to do is to be reelected.
At the end, Mr. President, people voted for you because you represented to them change and hope. I urge you to go back to the basic themes and programs you adopted in your run for President:” Let’s seize this moment — to start anew, to carry the dream forward, and to strengthen our union once more”.
