After
watching the recent debates on TV, I ask myself: “Are we better?” Well, I can
tell you all that anyone who says we are must be living in a hole. Listen, I
began my day by filling up my car. Usually, I pay with cash but with a 65
dollar bill, I used my credit card. With that cost, I could sure use some cash
back from my Discovery card- even if it’s not that much. And the liberals were
complaining when the gas prices were encroaching on 2 dollars under President
Bush. Now, they’re hitting 5 and the liberal media remains silent. Just 4 years
ago they were about to crucify the former president for such an atrocious cost.
Now, they simply agree with Obama’s lame excuse that gas consumption is up
while he cuts the Keystone pipeline.
Then,
I went to buy food. If the bill was over fifty dollars at the self-checkout
line I have to show ID. Since I’ve lived in the area I’ve only had to show ID
maybe 2 times. Now, I show ID every time and the sad thing is, I’m buying less!
I use to take a shopping cart to the checkout and now I have a hand basket. And
this is just over 4 years. What will it be like if Obama is in office for
another 4!
To
make matters worse, today in my office I was inundated by people who were
unemployed, retired or on disability. It made it seem like I was the only one
working! And to make things worse, some of the people asked me if I were
looking to hire any new positions- and it didn’t matter what the salary was!
Obama
talks of how he helps small businesses. I own a small business and can tell you
that over the last 4 years it has become more difficult run the company. Between
the increase in regulations and demands and the decrease in reimbursements, I wonder
where the relief Obama promised went to. I looked at the books today and realized one
thing: it costs me much more to do business today than it did 4 years ago-
which means that I’m not hiring or expanding.
Plus,
I don’t feel any safer. I feel as if the Middle East is about to explode, China
is going to bankrupt us and our country is drowning in debt. So I ask myself:
are we better off today than 4 years ago. The answer is a resounding NOOOBAMA!
