When Will Obama Become President?

Posted by Mac McGovern on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 6:32:24 PM
When is Obama going to get out of the candidate mode and get into the Presidental mode? We need a leader not a want- to- be leader!
 
Since being elected, Obama has done nothing except politic. He was elected to represent all Americans. His actons to date indicate he is more interested in persuing his own agenda of socializing America. I wonder when his wife talks about Barak returning to his homeland or when he makes the mistake and discusses being Muslim were is true alligence lies. He appears to be trying to bankrupt America and cares more about how the countries of the Middle-East view us than the opinion of the people of America.
 
He is President in title only. He is still in the candidate, he has yet to keep a single promise. He has done little to restart the economy and has managed to further divide the country. He needs to quit politicing, quit degrading American and its citizens, and spend time in the Oval Office doing what we elected him to do...Lead!!!
 
I will not call him President until he starts being Presidental.

Tax Increases, More Broken Promises

Posted by Mac McGovern on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 12:00:00 AM
Correct me if I am wrong. Did President Obama promise to not increase taxes on those making less than $250,000.00? I am retired Navy. My pay last year and this year are the same, no COLA. My total retirement pay is $19,272.00. My FITW changed from $29.30 to $46.00 or $16.70 more per week; $200.40 yearly. I understand, increases are required to help offset the 14 trillion debt we now have as a result of wasted speanding by our illustrious politicians. I would have no problem with the increase had it been in conjunction with a COLA. Since it was not, and my pay is actually, for the fist time, less than the previous year is proof President Obama has again broken his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class.
 
We ar all struggling in this recession. It appears, the only ones not suffering are the politicians and in particular, President Obama. Maybe if he got off television and parked Air Force One, he might have time to spend in the office getting this economy back on track and maybe, just maybe keep a promise.
 
He and his cronies in the White House are still spewing the same party line, there will be no tax increases for those making less than $250.000.00 per year. Well Mr President, my only advise to you at this time is: If YOU CANNOT KEEP YOUR PROMISES--SHUT UP!!
 
We the silent majority have had enough of the politics, the lies, the bribes, and the false promises. I served my country for 20 years for a pitance, you Mr President will likely serve 4 years and get a hefty $100.000.00 (plus) for the rest of your life. You can afford a tax increse, I cannot!!
 
Keep your promise--no tax increase on those making less than $250,000.00. If you do not, I hope the rest of the silent majority vote you, and those in the Congress and Senate who are hell bent on bankrupting this country out of office, and get some real Americans back in to put this country back on the road to recovery.
 
Mr President, I am mad as hell and I for one am not going to be disrespected and lied to by you or any politician any longer.
