I got his back in 2012


It’s that time again everyone!

Presidential elections, this time it will be more important than ever. Do we keep the current president or replace him with the GOP’s candidate Mitt Romney? I for one will be joining many and digging my heels to say I got President Obama’s back for 2012. Let’s not forget everyone, many of the mistakes that have gone wrong with our country were happening with the last administration and Obama picked up a ball that was already in play. A quick recap, in 2008 record numbers of job losses were getting reported as Bush exited and Obama took office. How quick we forget! Also, both the auto industry and the banks needed to be bailed out. All of this was happening prior to Obama and let’s not forget two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

Progress is slow and we fooled ourselves into thinking it would change so quickly. We placed GOP in control of our congress and they have used their positions for political gain rather than what is best for our country. Now I don’t think one party should have total control but the GOP has stopped progression of many bills that could cut our budget and raise taxes on wealthy Americans. It’s time to change and stop being naive. Why should we offer incentives to business prior to seeing them hire? That is putting the cart before the horse. If corporations want tax cuts there should be stipulations that are placed that state, “you must first hire x number of people in order to receive x amount of a tax incentive”. We can no longer afford to offer incentives and hope that corporation hire rather than pocket the extra profits. 
 
Investments must be made in education; our future depends on our children getting the best education in the world. It’s time we go back to the golden years where the best of the best came from America. Also, if immigrants come into the country to get education they should have the opportunity to gain citizenship. Why not keep these bright minds in our country? Remember there are a lot of immigrants that came here and created great things. 

 
Finally, America is safer due to his choices in office. Let’s recap; Obama gave the order to go into Pakistan without prior approval to go after Osama Bin Laden. This mission, if failed, would have been used by the opposing party as their example to push their agenda. The mission was not a failure and resulted in the elimination of this horrible man that killed so many people. Everyone was so quick to brush is off and say he deserved no credit, yes the military deserves a huge portion of the credit but it was his order that made it so. Which he would be hung by if failed. Also, Obama helped us get rid of another monster in Libya. Muammar Gaddafi was removed from power and killed by the people he oppressed for so many years. The administration went to war the right way, getting United Nation approval and not taking the burden of the mission unlike Bush with the two wars he initiated. 

Join me in 2012 in re-electing President Barack Obama and let him finish the job he was first elected to do.

Thanks everyone!
