To The American People,
America has been almost evenly divided between Republican/Democrats, red states vs. blue states, even between those for
and against Barack Obama. At the time this is being written, Barack is at the G20 conference in Great Britian. He is putting
on a good act, interacting with other national leaders, including meeting with the Queen.
Outside, people are in the streets, protesting a whole host of things. One sign said that ‘Capitalism Is Dead’.
Were protesters happy about it, or upset? I am not sure.
As Obama takes advantage of his time there to meet and hob-nob with other world economic leaders, for me, it showed itself
as being a time that America should really be on its guard, and Obama, at least on the surface, seems to take a very naïve
approach to those that were our enemies, most notably Russia and China.
Barack had his photo ops with the leaders of Russia and China, but what was going on inside with them, behind closed doors?
One has to wonder. Even as I had just come in, there was a brief report on CNN that China was developing missles that could
knock out our aircraft carriers. It was a brief report, but when world leaders are coming together for something that is to
increase relations with them all, why is China doing something like this? During another report by WorldFocus the next day,
it was iterated that Russia is one that will look for weakness in other countries, and it may well be doing so with the United
States and Barack’s meeting with Soviet president Medvedev.
With the opposition by certain leaders to Obama and using stimulus packages to try to stimulate the world economy, if he
manages to sway their opinions, one will have to wonder what is going on behind closed doors that we are not privy to. We
can no longer rely on the press to find out what the real story is, because we know the press is biased in its reporting of
such events.
Likewise, we would also be foolish to simply accept what we are told by Obama. As pleasant as Obama is, we have to remember
where it was he came up from politically--through what we all know is the corrupt politics of Illinois, and all his associations
with radical and corrupt people should tell us be cautious. We are not being told the whole truth. We are being told what
he wants us to hear.
There were also reports of Acorn, that there very well could have been dirty tricks with them having to do with the election
and getting Barack Obama elected as president. Would we discount the reports simply because he is so likeable? No! America
cannot afford to do that. We must press Obama for a more fuller explanation of what his plan is for all his spending that
we all know is going to leave us and our children, and at this point now, their children’s children, as well. Not only
that, but all this stimulus spending, and Barack’s cutting of the military budget, has to put America in a weaker place
with other nations, and with such tenuous relations with Russia and China, and also Iran, America is not going to be operating
from a position of strength with these countries, and we place ourselves in danger of having them run rough shod over us later
on.
That alone should tell all of us that we CANNOT go do this road of trillion dollar deficits without some real explanation
as to what his real plan is. If he cannot give us a full disclosure of what that plan is, we not should simply trust what
he is doing, because it will lead to disaster for us later on. Other leaders and economists tell us how dangerous going down
this road is, yet he ignores their warnings.
And so do we, all because we put our trust in him so much that we stay quiet; because he gives us promises of America becoming
strong again, and sounds so confident of what he is doing. But we cannot put simple blind trust in one who gives us such promises
when other experts warn us that his ideas cannot work. It is tempting to do so when so many are out of work and in a vulnerable
place with our lives.
If America is to be strong, we must operate from a position of real strength, and Obama is not doing this--at least, not
on the surface. With the G20 summit, if world leaders who have decried his approach at the start change their tune by its
end, we have to wonder what really took place there. The sheer amount of money being thrown around these days by the government
must tell us that something else is going on. It is like we are pacified being told that the stimulus will be used for us.
But when we do not see that money being used to help people right away, we have to wonder if it really will be used that way
later on.
Obama keeps us constantly off kilter by his continuous moving what we is shown to us as his moving forward with some plan.
He is into something else before any of us can get any real answers to things we have questions about things he has just done.
The American people must be more cautious because his methods are such that the American people can be skillfully played through
our weaknesses and blind hope for a better future when common sense and logic should tell us otherwise.
The ideas presented in this book, being put forth from a simple person as myself, if they have any worth and have any sense
to them, could very well put us on that different path that America has been looking for. The American people are waking up,
but they are still looking for a viable solution to our problems. You are organizing, you are making your voice heard, but
your voice--no matter how strong it is--will be ignored if we do not have a different and better plan to replace what we are
being left with right now. My hope is that this plan does make some sense.
And if it does, let it be the springboard for the change that America really needs. Let it be the springboard for the change
that all the world needs, and is looking for.
