What were we thinking??  I sometimes wonder that when I read the news headlines and hear about Obama’s executive decisions.  First he hires a man to be the Secretary of the Treasury who frauded the Treasury Department out of thousands of dollars of his own money.  “He made a mistake,” Obama said.  I’m all for grace and forgiveness, but shouldn’t someone with a little more integrity be heading up the Treasury?  Then, in less than 2 days of taking the executive office he lifts the ban of the Mexico City, allowing federal funding to overseas abortions, and calls for the closing of Guantanamo Bay while bringing questionable, if not extremely dangerous, terrorists onto our own soil.

I believe the executive office is tinged with hypocrisy these days.  Obama one minute preaches about saving innocent lives, while allowing federal funding for the massacre of who knows how many innocent lives by way of abortion.  He urges people to sacrifice by cutting back on certain things such as energy, while he keeps his office heated like a sauna.  Hmm…and what about his 170 million dollar inauguration party?  Did anyone mention to him that we were in a recession?  Maybe he should have used some of that money to help stimulate the economy rather than his own ego.  It’s interesting that four years ago the media criticized Bush for spending a little over 40 million dollars on his party while the country was at war and in economic stress.  But no one made a big hoopla about Obama’s party that cost over four times as much money, and we are actually in a recession now.

I look at these past few weeks and I just have to shake my head.  Where are the cries of the people?  Not everyone is fully behind our President’s actions.  It’s only been two and a half weeks, and things are looking pretty scary.  It seems that Obama is welcoming in a new era that tastes a bit like socialism (i.e. wanting to put a cap on how much bank executives make…what happened to capitalism?) and corruption (i.e. wanting to “hire” two people that basically gave the government the middle finger when it came to paying taxes…what happened to integrity and character?).

I’m not a die-hard Republican at all…I’m a moderate.  But I really see reunification and a strengthening of the GOP taking place.  Though Washington seems to be bending ever more closely to liberalism, immorality, and socialism…there is hope.  The GOP is going to come back strong and able to fight.  I hope they continue to fight for morality, integrity, equality for all, and what the founding fathers fought for.  I hope the underdogs stand for what is right!  And for the sake of our country and future generations, I hope people begin to see Obama as merely a leader who should be held accountable, and not a messiah who is trusted with and allowed to do anything.
