My fellow Americans,
I am writing this blog as a citizen of America, not on the republican or democrat side, but as a citizen.
Obama basically ignored a lot of key warnings and basic atrocities that continue to harm the United States as a whole.
We begin with immigration. The best thing we can do is shut down our borders, lock 'em up, throw away the key, and kick the illegals out. It's time. We need to stop ignoring the heavy influx of illegal immigrants that are coming into this nation looking for a better life. We need to put up a sign that says: "SORRY, WE'RE CLOSED." I feel as though that the time of ignorance needs to end and we need to start looking at the big picture.
Inequality with men and women has been a tough subject. I do agree on a level playing field for women in terms of pay, but we also need to level the playing fields more in the divorce courts, child custody cases, child support, and family matters with the men. Men and women both change the world in so many ways. We definitely need to lay out a level pay field for the women, but we also need to do it for the men on different matters stated above. Equality is very difficult to achieve on all walks of life by gender, race, religion, the works. Will we achieve equality, yes... someday we will. But right now, our congressional leaders just don't seem to care.
He talked about child support and care. We need to abolish the FMLA of 1993 and replace it with a brand new system which favors a paid protection system for not only for mothers but fathers as well. The current act favors the mother more greatly than it does the father but however, it just does not give the benefits that a mother should enjoy. When it comes to matters like this, we are 2nd worst in benefits by developed industrial nations (Only Australia is worse. However, they get better benefits than us). United States basically gives a little to new mothers (they get 4 months unpaid leave and no paid protection) and nothing at all to fathers. We have had a very high increase in deadbeat dads because they don't get any time to spend with their children after their birth. Basically, it's "oh hey, hi Little Johnny" and then its back to work to pay the bills.
We need a new system that equalizes the field for men and women. Give women at least 6 months paid protection along with 4 months unpaid. Men should be able to spend time with their newborn son and daughter as well, I believe that we should give men 6 months paid protection along with 4 months unpaid. The bills mount up and child care continues to be a very lofty expense.
Obama talked about more and more people having college degrees. That's not true. The college board is reporting some of the worst dropout rates in history due to funding problems, high tuition costs, and loans. The Princeton review has stated that the average rate for a US citizen is more than 39% higher than that of someone who is illegally in the United States. Illegals are given breaks, easier access to grants and scholarships, plus they can get loans very easily. Also our college loan deficit: $1.4 Trillion dollars.
The affordable health care act and also the state healthcare connections have been a complete joke. This is a tax levied on the American citizen to take care of a person who does not have healthcare. I also don't believe the government should have a say in who you go to for a doctor. But I also believe if this is good for us, it's good for congress as well. How Kathleen Sebelius can say: "That would be illegal" is beyond me. What's good for the goose is all good for the gander.
Barack's wife Michelle and her "let's move" campaign has been one of the most disastrous failures for our children. Obesity is still a big issue and it hasn't been curbed. More and more schools are dropping PE and recess because they can't afford it. More than $112,000,000 in lunches were taken from children in 2013 by what I like to call "Michelle Obama's Secret Cafeteria Police." Since the "Let's move" campaign began, more than 115,000 schools have been forced to get rid of gym and physical education classes due to budget cuts, $485 million in school lunches have been taken away from our children, and obesity is still up. What? Is Michelle Obama going to control what we eat in our homes now? Why don't she just leave her imprint in our supermarkets. That seems like the easier way to do it.
The minimum wage hike is a major mistake. It will hurt small businesses in the long run and down the stretch as the money dries up. This is not a good idea for America.
Lastly folks, we are a nation built on the principles submitted to us by our forefathers. Our president is preparing to circumvent the constitution to which he is bound by. The constitution is the supreme law of the land and everyone of us is submitting to it. We have a congress that is brainless and doesn't know what to do, a President who doesn't listen to the American people whom elected him, and 2014 may bring more than just change to congress, it may turn over a few states who are rightfully angry with their state congresses right now.
May God bless America, our troops, her ships overseas, and the men and women of this here, United States of America...
Good night.
