Mr. Obama recently sent a letter regarding his plan to reform the US Fiscal System.  This is a response to his letter. 

Mr. Obama, here is my message to you:

Stop crisis-mongering!

You do not understand the US financial system much less the US economy.  

You are not competent or qualified to reform the US Fiscal System.

You do not even know what “the problem” is.

Government “bailouts”, “TARPs”, “stimulus packages”, and all the other creatively-renamed pork-barrel-spending expanded this recession. 

Our weak economy, high Carter-level unemployment, and looming inflation is a result of the policies you voted for and signed into law. 

Stop the Crisis-mongering. 

            In his letter Mr. Obama states in large bold text, “We cannot delay action any longer.”  Such an emergency, yet he acknowledges earlier in the same letter its “been over a year” and this “near collapse” cost America “more than 8 million jobs”.  Is there a reason Mr. Obama waited over one year after more than 8 million jobs were lost?  Now he claims “businesses are starting to hire” and “neighbors who had given up looking are returning to the job market with new hope.”  If things are improving, why the urgency?  Does a crisis still exist? 

Stop the Obama “Progress”. 

            Obama says, “We’ve made strides.”  Yes, he has.  Obama delivered “Hope and Change”.  Obama Policies have passed through a partisan Democrat-party-controlled congress.  Let’s look at Obama’s partisan strides.  He lost over 8 million jobs.  Unemployment still stands near 10% after Obama spent Trillions in “emergency” spending.  Obama spent $787 billion on his “stimulus”, another $250 billion on the mortgage bailouts, and $450 billion for “jobs” followed by “cash for clunkers”.  In less than 1 year he’s nearly quadrupled the deficit and added trillions to our national debt. 

Obama spent trillions and yet he lost millions of jobs. We cannot afford any more Obama Progress.  

Stop the Obama-Fixes. 

            Mr. Obama spent trillions of dollars to fix things.  Certainly things are fixed.  Obama says, “the flaws in our financial system that led to this crisis remain unresolved.”  Of course they do because he voted to bailout many responsible for this fiscal irresponsibility.  In the past when a business failed the free-market American fiscal system allowed them to go out of business.  Mr. Obama prevented free markets from doing their job.  Naturally people who lend a failing business money are not paid profits because there are losses.  Just as bosses who made decisions that led to a business’s failure do not earn bonuses, because there is no money.  They lost it.  Enter Hope and Change, the Obama-Fix via his “stimulus”.  The Obama Stimulus legislated large uber-bonuses be paid to the executives who bankrupted these companies.  Certainly things are fixed.  After giving hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to these corporations and legislating “stimulus” bonuses paid to the failed executives, Mr. Obama acknowledges that these “Wall Street titans still recklessly speculate with borrowed money.”  Of course they do!  They’ve not got Obama money!  Obama gave them our money because they lost all of their corporations’ money. 

            Mr. Obama helped orchestrate and perpetuate the real crisis in our financial system.  Now there is a new Obama-Fix the Democrats in congress are trying to pass.  Senator Dodd just admitted this Obama-Fix won’t fix anything, it will not even attempt to address the numerous meltdowns with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.  Obama Government prevented our financial system from operating freely.  As Democrats tainted the free markets by flooding our financial markets with bad loans through the government regulated Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Obama promises more of the same.  His solution, further government intervention, will worsen the problem just like his previous trillion dollar fixes. 

We cannot afford any more Obama-Fixes. 

Stop the Obama Accountability and Transparency. 

            Mr. Obama’s hope and change promised a new era of accountability and transparency.  Mr. Obama tells us “consumer financial protections are currently spread across seven different government agencies.”  He acknowledges 7 government agencies were supposed to protect us.  Seven Obama agencies were transparently accountable to Hope and Change.  They miserably failed us!  The Obama solution?  Create an 8^th government agency! 

Fool me once, shame on you. 

Fool me twice, shame on me. 

Fool me 7 times, government bureaucracy at its finest. 

Fool me 8 times, I give you the boldness of Barack Obama and the audacity of hope. 

We cannot afford any more Obama Accountability and Transparency. 

Mr. Obama, stop!

President Reagan summed things up best when he explained: We don’t mistrust one another because we’re armed.  We’re armed because we mistrust one another.

That very concept explains the difference in thinking between a juvenile junior high schooler and a wise man.  There is a fundamental difference in philosophy between these two concepts.

The Obama Doctrine is premised on the idea that countries mistrust one another because they are armed.  Disregarding human nature and historical fact, we can follow this immature, unintelligent dogma.  Obama Doctrine seeks American nuclear disarmament so other nations will trust us.  Obamians believe US disarmament will cause all other nations to trust us.  With trust these nations will also disarm.  Unfortunately, here is where thought behind Obama Doctrine ended but average 6^th graders and up continued thinking.  Since there are multiple nations, trust for the US may not transfer to Pakistan.  Since Pakistan has not disarmed, India will remain armed out of mistrust toward Pakistan and Iran will continue to arm itself out of mistrust toward both.  The mistrust grows and an arms race rages.  A 7^th grader may be so bold to think a country may claim to disarm but believe there is no reason to trust they will disarm.  Learned people understand trust is not derived from a lack of arms.

Countries are not born with arms.  Actions instill trust and mistrust.  Actions speak louder than words.   Trust must be earned.  Do you buy a colt 45 because your neighbor owns a 9 millimeter gun?  Of course not.  Does the US mistrust the UK because they have a standing army?  Quite the contrary.  The US and the UK are staunch allies despite the fact they are both armed.  We do not mistrust one another because we are armed.  If I trust someone, I will not care if they are armed.  There are many reasons to trust or mistrust.  There are many different reasons people are armed.  Tyrants and dictators build armies to conquer and enslave.  Americans stand on centuries of honorable history.  From the foundation of our nation Americans have never used military might for conquest.  Time and time again American armies defeated tyrants, liberating the enslaved.  Not once has America expanded her borders through military campaign.  Generation upon generation shed blood and gave life to maintain Americans’ freedom or liberate an unknown face in a foreign land. 

History’s lessons and human nature quickly disregards Obama Doctrine on foreign policy atop the devastated American economy toppled from the Obama domestic policies resulting in high unemployment, snowballing housing market bubbles, unprecedented government spending as tax revenues drop and as inflation looms.  As domestic Obama Doctrine’s defiance of history, logic and fact resulted in ruinous economic destruction, so too shall Obama Doctrine on foreign policy topple America’s national defense. 

Obama Doctrine is incompetence demonstrated.  Nuclear disarmament is not a foreign policy.  Applied appropriately arms reduction can be one piece of a successful foreign policy.  President Reagan outlined a basic 5 point plan for peace that included military balance, economic stability, regional stability, arms reduction and dialogue.  The Obama Doctrine lacks all key elements and instead subscribes to unilateral American disarmament.  Peace brought on by American disarmament will come only through American surrender to armed enemies.  The former Soviet Union sought peace through American surrender.  Communist peace would have come through blood, oppression and enslavement. 

Americans seek peace through strength.  For generations this policy has successfully defended and restored liberty across the globe countless times.  The absence of weapons will not deliver peace, certainly not at the cost humanity can afford.  America cannot afford Obama Doctrine.  Liberty cannot afford Obama Doctrine.  Humanity should not be forced to pay the costs of Obama Doctrine.
