America now sees Obama as a mistake

I would like to thank President Obama.

Without him my country never would have been awakened due to the policies we will soon experience. Just look at the many polls indicating drastic change of opinion since November 2008.

While Bush did preside over a terrible last half of his last term many people seem to forget that Obama supported all the policies which caused this quagmire. Many Democrats realize it's time to get off the USS Obama before it founders, will not be running for re-election, and/or have "decided to spend more time with their families."

They know the American people are now so angry and energized that they don't want to deal with the November bloodbath that is sure to follow. You don't pay off obscene debt run up the last few years with even more crushing debt. Not to mention you're going to raise my taxes to pay for it when many of us don't even have a job.

You are killing the economy in the name of being green. You have damaged our national security by cutting our nuclear force. Our dollar will go the way of the peso because we are printing so much money it won't be worth the paper it is written on.

You seem fine with the fact that we may relinquish our role as the world's premier superpower along with the global negotiating leverage that goes with it to a country that is applauding our perceived decline.

If one were trying to kill this country your policies would be a perfect blueprint for doing so. You want us so dependent on government, and unfortunately, I think that was the plan all along.
