Stop attack on our American way of life

There is probably more discontent in the nation today than at any time in history. And it almost all stems from a lack of presidential leadership.

The headlines have been screaming such things as "Confidence waning in Obama, U. S. outlook," "Fed officials offer a dim view of recovery," " Voter anger is building over deficits," "Why Obamanomics has failed," "Sales of new homes plunge," "Business group slams Obama's hostile policies" and on and on. And as we often hear today from young people, "He just doesn't get it." The latest show of incompetence came at the recently held G-20 meetings in Canada. Every nation attending the meeting stressed that they all must cut spending - except one - you guessed it, the U.S., whose spokesman was President Obama. He said spending should be increased.

Remember, we are already $13 trillion in debt and rising at the rate of $8 billion every day. And remember most of these are socialist nations telling U.S. to stop our spending, because their out-of-control government spending has bankrupt their nations (Greece has recently laid out plans to privatize many state owned companies to fix their out-of-control public finances.)

Keep in mind our president is doing his best to take us in the direction of federal ownership of business, i.e. health care, banking, utilities, etc. and is tramping on free enterprise and the private sector. We can get a start on stopping this attack on our American way of life by voting out of office in November all those who support his ideas.
