We can’t allow the Obama agenda

We have heard and read a great deal about the payroll tax issue and the hardship it would cause 160 million people if not renewed. The estimated cost of this hardship has been stated at $20 per week based on a $50,000 salary.

Obama, his advisors and his adoring media supporters have used this to further his claim that class warfare is at work. This from a man who could not wait to say “aloha” and get out of town.

Let me remind you that he went on a jumbo 747 and was gone some tow to three weeks. Does this put him in the 99 percent? I don’t think so.

As Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are busy touting their victory, they have conveniently omitted some of the other provisions of the bill that Mr. Obama deserted.

He caved on the so-called “millionaire surtax,” an issue he was adamant about just two weeks earlier. By the way, the surtax would have applied to all making $200,000, not $1 million.

The Democrats also abandoned their position on the Canada-Texas pipeline, another item that was a deal killer previously. Now, he has to make a decision within 60 days to go ahead or kill it.

This pipeline will create at least 20,000 jobs. Creating jobs, something Obama has not been able to do for the past four years.

A recent piece written by Mitt Romney nailed Obama’s real agenda on the head. Romney enumerated the differences between an opportunity {hard work, innovation, reward} and the entitlement society {let the government pay the bills, and take care of all your problems}, the goal of Mr. Obama.

If we allow this to happen we can say goodbye to the America we know and love.
