Big government only fuels problems

The deep concerns toward Obama's agenda to add quality jobs and improve our economy show that his socialistic ideas of increased government spending are pushing the U.S. in the same direction as Europe's failed economies. Make no mistake, the Bushes, Clinton and McCain all follow this same big-spending thinking, but unlike Obama they understand quality jobs and economic growth come from free-market capitalism.

Obama's foolish actions have created a groundswell of independent voters supporting replacement of his leftist political hacks in November. That will give a real change for the betterment of Americans who want real opportunity to improve their families' future and understand they have to earn it and have no problem paying their fair share of taxes to support good government.

Obama's belief in big government being the answer to all situations shows his weak management skills for solving problems like jobs, economy, social ills and the oil spill.

As a community organizer on Chicago's South Side, he saw the problems of broken family units, children without supportive parents, welfare money wasted on drugs, and street violence destroying the lives of decent innocents. These real problems exist across the country, and he wastes his time playing political games and spewing campaign lies of congressional openness, ecological carbon nonsense and being a buddy to Iran and other hostiles.

Quality private-sector jobs, border chaos, education deficiencies and minority teenage pregnancies are big problems. He has mishandling the spill and is destroying many quality energy jobs.

This litany of foolish acts gives a very sad profile of Obama's convoluted ideas to change America for the better, and many well-intended folks continue to be misled by his leftist, socialist media.
