I mean, seriously. What good is the office of the President (elect) if all he has to offer is doom and gloom?
We start 2009 in the midst of a crisis unlike any we have seen in our lifetime – a crisis that has only deepened over the last few weeks. Nearly two million jobs have now been lost, and on Friday we are likely to learn that we lost more jobs last year than at any time since World War II. Just in the past year, another 2.8 million Americans who want and need full-time work have had to settle for part-time jobs. Manufacturing has hit a twenty-eight year low. Many businesses cannot borrow or make payroll. Many families cannot pay their bills or their mortgage. Many workers are watching their life savings disappear. And many, many Americans are both anxious and uncertain of what the future will hold.
How about giving us optimism? How about the much promised Hope? Well, if he has chosen to go on the path laid by Jimmy Carter who made us think the situation in the late 70s was virtually hopeless, another Reagan Sarah Palin is bound to appear by 2012 and take us to the lofty heights we can attain based on nothing but the belief in the American spirit.
Things are bad, but they are nowhere as bad as Obama is making them out to be. His insistance on using scare tactics to get support for his hare-brained economic scheme is only going to backfire on him.
