Grow up America

I am irritated by the complete ignorance and stupidity of the American people as a whole.

In 2008 this nation elected by democratic process, Mr. Obama. During the campaign Mr. Obama made many promises to the American people. These include, Health Care Reform, Wall Street Reform, Economic Stimulus Package, Lowering taxes for average wage earners, Ending Combat operations in Iraq, Increasing combat operations in Afghanistan, a more open accounting for the American people to see online. Would I be out of line by saying he has actually done what he said he would do, yet his approval ratings are below 50%? Today it is reported that by one poll, the Republicans have a 10% lead over Democrats in the upcoming elections in November. There is no rational explanation for this change in preference. The last 2 years have shown us that the Republicans have thrown every roadblock in the way of Mr. Obama. The mantra was always to destroy his presidency. The Republicans have presented NO plan or ideas as how to resolve the issues Mr. Obama addressed. Their focus was to make him fail, meet his Waterloo. The focus has been on where the President was born, even though the evidence has show they are wrong. Another focus has been his religion, as a Muslim when it is clear he is a Christian. Pounding the airwaves with out and out lies does not make a lie the truth, yet that is what seems to be happening. More an more people actually now believe the lie. This is sheer insanity. Are we as a nation, a nation of unthinking sheep? Sure seems to appear that way. Republicans want to repeal the health care law, which they cannot do. The Republicans want to repeal the Wall Street reform law, which they cannot do. When given the chance to make permanent the Bush tax cuts on the top 3% rich folk, they failed. Today they want to call the expiration of tax cuts for the wealthy a tax increase, when all that is happening is the temporary cuts are expiring, no increase at all, just back to where they were before. We are talking 2 trillion dollars in lost revenue if they are allowed to remain. What are we talking about here? up to a 3.5% increase in taxes. That's what this is all about, up to 3.5%. The price of gas can go up that high in one day and we manage to survive, i.e. $2.50/gal to $2.59/gal.

It's no wonder Republicans are against an educated America, smart Americans will see these people for what they really are.
