Job Summit, Bah Humbug!

Wow, Thanksgiving came and went without me having the opportunity to blog that I was thankful Congress was also on vacation. I didn't feel a nagging sense of panic wondering what might be happening behind the curtain in Washington while America relaxed a bit and focused on family and traditions and the values that founded this great country.

Now we're back in full swing and there's no need to pinch yourself: Obama IS still the President. He has spoken/appeared/graced us with his presence twice this week. Today while I was working out to the news speculation of the Jobs Summit/campaign speech/photo opportunity, my mind was spinning.

Do any of the radical, intellectual, Ivy League graduates in the Obama "White House" Campaign realize that if they would just stop talking new jobs might actually appear? I mean, in that short Thanksgiving week some of us almost started thinking there was actual hope (I hate that he tainted that word!) on the horizon. We laughed about the past, enjoyed the presence, and looked forward to the future.

Then Obama and liberal Congress open their mouths and every productive person in the country gets nervous. Why should anyone expand their business right now and create jobs? A 10% tax increase is on the horizon in just 13 months. Health care costs that are already crippling small businesses are only going to increase while tax hikes and penalties for not enrolling employees in government health care will hurt on the other end. Cap and Trade is going to kill American businesses.

Everything the White House is saying they want to do will kill jobs. Why would any American out there do anything beyond try to hang on to the job they have? I've got a serious bee in my bonnet on this today. The fact that the words "community organizations" are a part of the job creation rhetoric makes me seriously crazy. Honey, if you're getting this you might not want to come home today! :)

Just for fun, if you've missed the latest polls here is some of the Rasmussen data this week:

• 30% of voters say the country is heading in the right direction.
• 71% of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.
• 53% of voters are still opposed to the current health care legislation.
• 48% of voters are expecting their taxes to go up under Obama. Contrast with only 9% who think theirs will go down.

I'd like to propose a poll:

Do you think The Obama "White House" Campaign and Congress are trying to trying to ruin the country? Yes, No, or Maybe?

My answer is maybe. It looked like inexperience, naivety, and stupidity for a while. Now it starting to look like a calculated effort to destroy the fiber of our country. How could all of these people be so smart and really be that dumb?
