Let’s Talk About the Real Issues, Mr. President
by Sarah Palin on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 6:41pm
The
far Left continues to believe American voters are not smart enough to
grasp the diversionary tactics it employs to distract us from the issues
our President just doesn’t want to talk about – issues that affect us
all every day and must be addressed.
Exhibit A in these
diversionary tactics is an absurd new attack ad President Obama has
released taking my comments out of context. I’m not running for any
office, but I’m more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being
Barack Obama’s “enemy of the week” if that includes the opportunity to
debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about.
(Remember when I said you don’t need a title to make a difference?)
Just
off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include: a
debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse,
entitlement programs going bankrupt, a credit downgrade for the first
time in our history, a government takeover of the health care industry
that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless
bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), $4 and $5
gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects
good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous
foreign regimes, a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending,
a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and
ridiculous, a housing market in the tank, the longest streak of high
unemployment since World War II, private-sector job creators and
industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama
EPA, an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty,
an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, crony capitalism
run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the
detriment of genuine free market capitalism, green energy pay-to-play
kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and a Justice Department still
stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug
lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.
I’m
sure I missed a few things, but the list is just for starters. Along
with millions of others, I’m willing and free to discuss these issues
with the President anywhere, anytime; and I’m sure any of the four
patriots currently running for the GOP nomination would also welcome the
opportunity to talk about the problems everyday Americans face due to
the abject failure of our current administration’s policies. The
President will dismiss all of these problems by saying, “Well, uh,
‘change isn’t easy.’” But considering that candidate Obama promised to
turn back the waters and heal the planet, the American people had at
least a reasonable expectation that, at the bare minimum, he wouldn’t
bankrupt our country.
This latest ad is quite odd, but
also quite telling. It shows that our President sure seems fearful of
discussing the economy, energy prices, and all the other problems people
need addressed. And intended or not, now that his ad opens up the
discussion of Barack Obama’s radical past associations and the radical
philosophy that shaped his ideas about his promised “fundamental
transformation” of our country, I welcome the media to join ordinary
Americans in finally vetting Barack Obama. The media failed to do so in
2008 to the detriment of us all. Maybe this time around they can do
their job.
They might start by noting the President’s heavily edited attack ad. Breitbart’s Ben Shapiro helps them out in this piece. Please read it all.
