It pains me to say, but America is facing some massive, massive challenges in the days ahead and I have zero confidence in our leadership to navigate these waters and do the right thing.
Consider the current challenges and responses:
- The Iraq/Afghan wars that continue on way longer than they should – Obama is focused on chastizing General McChrystal for his remarks in an interview – word is that he is going to resign.
- The illegal immigration situation in Arizona is worsening by the day. Reports are that Mexican gangs have setup lookout points in the Arizona hills. What is Obama and his administration focused on? Suing the state of Arizona of course for the legislation to combat illegal immigration.
- The economy is worsening by the day and nothing has been fixed since the 2008 crisis. Housing is showing that it’s heading much lower despite massive stimulus. Obama is focused on empowering unions as evidenced by his constant meetings with SEIU chief.
- The Gulf oil spill is a disaster. Not sure what Obama’s response here is besides promoting the building of wind mills in the next 10 years. The consensus is that his response is not enough. There is no plan to stop this thing.
The uncertainties in America unfortunately are increasing. This is why I prep. This is why I am taking defensive measures to prepare my family and I for whatever might happen down the road.
Yes, I focused on President Obama here in this article. I think he’s doing a terrible job and is implementing all the wrong policies. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see him voted out. Sadly, I don’t have much confidence in his replacement either even if it is the other party. We’re passed the point of being able to turn this thing around without a great deal of pain. Obama isn’t the main problem, he’s a symptom of the problem. The main problem is that a long time ago Americans decided that they didn’t want to take care of themselves.
