I sat and watched Mr. Obama tonight. Maybe you did too. He engaged me with his genuine plea to work together. He admitted that Washington is dysfunctional, over-spends, and is self-serving. Mr. Obama invited everyone to sacrifice, including himself, to save America. It was great.
When it was over I began to wonder, where was this president during the past three years? Where was he when Obamacare was shoved down America's throat? A Democratic Congress pulled every trick in the book to pass that law even though most Americans were clearly opposed to the idea. And Mr. Obama signed it into law. So where was the compromise then? Where was the “working together” attitude then? It didn’t exist.
So there it is again. Mr. Obama is all of the sudden in the mood to work together for the good of America. Why? Because it is convenient for him. I’ve accused Mr. Obama before of being "A Convenient President." It is how he needs to appear before the people right now. He needs some positive press and will do what is necessary to get it. However, when the need passes, he’ll return to business as usual and will do things that meet Mr. Obama’s agenda, not the people of the United States.
This may seem to be pretty down on the president, but I can’t help it. Time and time again he has said things that appeal to Americans in general, but then turned around and does something different. I guess I should clarify. He may not “do” things himself, he actually allowed the formerly democratic dominated Congress or now the Senate to do all the dirty work… without a word from him.
Now I know I’m just a basicguy, but I have a warning. If Mr. Obama is pawning for a compromise, there’s something in it for him. It’s convenient to compromise right now because he’s lost the democratic controlled Congress and his political ideology is losing ground in America. So, he needs something, and I suggest that we not give it to him.
