Obama's first week, a precursor to the next 4 years?

By Dan Hamblin

Well it's only been a week since Obama became the 44th president of the United States and he has certainly hit the ground running. He has addressed the issue of openly gay people joining the military, looks like that will be allowed very soon. Many people see that as a major mistake, the military is already suffering from a low enlistment rate, if gays are allowed in that will drastically affect the amount of new recruits.
Obama has also decided to abolish a previously enacted law that banned the United States from funding and abortions whether it is here at home or anywhere else in the world. Within the first 5 minutes of him taking office the White house website went from pro-life to pro-choice. I for one am outraged at this, if you lay down and do the deed, you need to be responsible and deal with the end result. Call me old fashioned, but that is how it should be. What ever happened to accountability?
The president also seems to have an arrogance about him that what ever he says WILL happen no matter what anyone thinks about it, not very flattering from our new commander and chief. He was seen yesterday in a meeting with some members from the senate in which he stated "I won, I am the president". Now if that doesn't sound like an elitist I don't know what does. It seems like these people are intimidated by him or something, they back down and he gets what ever his devious little heart desires.
Today Barack made a statement to the Muslim world in which he stated "we are not your enemy". He is wrong; they are our enemy because of their terroristic regimes and terroristic actions. Is he forgetting about 9/11? These are the same idiots that train kids it's OK to kill another man because of their religion at the age of 8 and 9 years old! Come on! Yet Obama wants to reach out to them, why not, he was Muslim by birth and always will be. After he won the election he said he had a certain duty to the Muslim community as well as to the United States. Anyone can see that. He also wants to have a one on one talk with the president of Iran; Barack thinks he can draw Iran closer to us, yeah right.
Today Obama somehow got his 825 billion dollar stimulus plan through the senate, the details of his plan do very little for our economy. We already have a 10 trillion dollar deficit, sure what's another 836 billion dollars. It allows for things like endowment of the arts and other frivolous causes. Earlier this week, the financial system and the government in Iceland crashed because of idiot leaders like Obama; this could be us before too long.
I don't trust Obama and think electing this man was a huge mistake for America. Many are saying Obama could fit the bill of the false prophet and I am beginning to see that in him. By the way he is also working on a bill that would prohibit certain things that he doesn't want us knowing from being printed or broadcasted for whatever reason he sees fit. Hello socialism! Goodbye red white & blue.
