To the editor:
I am absolutely giddy after hearing President Obama's State of the Union Address. I want to run out and buy a 42-inch plasma television. The stimulus bill is working, he said, using a green window company as an example that was able to add 100 new employees. The country remains at a 10 percent unemployment level, but we must all be encouraged by the good news.
Obama is calling for a jobs bill (the stimulus bill renamed) that will creates a huge number of new jobs. How? By building a high-speed railroad from Tampa to Disney World. I cannot wait to pack up the whole family, board a plane and fly to Tampa, stand in a line, pay a high price for a ticket to travel on his high-speed train across Florida to Disney World instead of flying into Orlando in the first place.
To pay for it President Obama is going to take your money the banks have repaid and instead of repaying some of our debt to China, he is going to use it to build a high-speed railroad. Well, not exactly. The money will pay for engineering, clearing land and hiring experts to build his railroad; not one rail will be laid, not one nail will be pounded in the ground nor one train built, for he will need a lot more money than what the banks are repaying. Who will pay the rest? Maybe President Obama and the other progressive Democrats should open a second White House at Disney World; there again it would be hard to distinguish between the real Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck from those progressives in Washington.
Sixty-five percent of Americans have said loud and clear they do not want a universal health care system; again he states he is not giving up on it for we the people they believe are not smart enough to know what we need and want. It is against that antiquated piece of paper called the Constitution for the federal government to establish a health care system. The states can establish one if they want, but the federal government is prohibited from doing so. Progressives believe the Constitution is a living document written for the progressives to interpret and change to meet their needs. Progressives like Obama, Clinton, Barney Frank and Kerry, to name a few. Anyone who disagrees with them is either the enemy, stupid or unpatriotic and they will discredit, destroy or circumvent anyone in their way in to obtain their objective, which is to fundamentally change the way our country has operated effectively for more than 200 years.
Keep up the good work, Mr. President and your progressives, for we the people are neither stupid, the enemy or unpatriotic. We are tired of the lies, the mistrust, the back-room diplomacies that are being jammed down our throats. We are the government, a fact those in Washington have long since forgotten. We the people shall have our say in 2010, and I doubt you and the progressives will like what we have to say.
