A Commentary on the Current Mindset of the GOP (Republicans):
Thursday, February 26th, 2009
Their party members have nothing better to do but beat down our President Obama by spreading further DoomsDay News about the economic climate, and how some and maybe all of the current administration’s plans and agendas to rebuild our beaten down economy will fail.
Look who is negative now – if they could fix the problems created while they were in power before the recent election, they would have done so, but they didn’t. Instead they handed our President Obama a large burden to carry upon coming into office. He is not the fall guy and will never be so.
“So wake up, all you Republicans – he is our rational and reasonable leader for the next four years and perhaps longer. He is not God, so ease up on him and be sensible.”
Now after losing the elections – they gather their guns to shoot down every planned agenda by our new administration. This definitely looks like the spoiled child who did not get to eat enough with his fair share of the big pie, but instead, wants more than his share!
They will soon discover that all their destructive and negative mindsets and obstructive ways will only be to their eventual detriment.
Okay, now for the meat of the matter: Look at reasons and perhaps logic-
1. Firstly, as a power nation – we will not fail, though it might take us a while to patch the holes when a bad storm has hit us, as we are all collectively to blame in every financial sector for avoiding the signs that were clearly there pointing to a massive downfall.
Why?
You all seem to forget that America is not an island, but instead, we are very much intertwined with the power nations around the world. They depend on seeing us pull ourselves out of the hole and not allow that hole to get bigger because that too affects them on many levels. America’s total collapse would be a domino and ripple effect that would stretch around the globe and devastate the global economy like never ever experienced before!
2. Secondly, the smartest of economists definitely cannot guarantee you all that every of Obama’s agendas will be a total success or that success will be achieved within the projected time frame.
Why?
Because there are so many unforeseen intermittent factors that could come into play besides other interrupting forces that might play into the various agendas, either by the forces of nature, or man-driven or otherwise. So it is only fair to assume a success percentage of a certain figure allowing for a percentage of offset.
3. Thirdly, it is of reason and logic for the Obama Administration to take the pro-active steps and the required bold moves to stop the damage from further eroding our American financial foundation and its people’s survival, even though the stakes seem pretty high at this time.
Why?
Look at it as the lifeline needed to balance the sinking ship. We know the hole in the ship is only getting bigger so it might be wise to fix it now, before it totally cannot be fixed! Here again, like every gamble – there is a margin of error and percentage of success.
So if all our fellow citizens can stop griping and just do their part to help fix the hole, regardless who created that hole – we will come out ahead of the game and be able to smell the roses again.
To cap off – my message to the GOP party:
“Relax, and stop beating down our President Obama and his administration BUT instead act like grownups and do your due diligence to help with fixing that hole instead of complaining – the party is over – the hard work begins – so either go to work or stop the griping like the losers that you all are!”
“Lastly, be a help to our nation’s well-being and not an obstacle – there is no place nor time for the bickering – unite with the democrats and work to repair our fallen America.”
