"The Don" for president...

I have never been this involved, outspoken, and infuriated in politics in 31 years.  When Obama ran for president, I did not support him.  I voted for McCain.  Obama won, good for him.  There was nothing I could do to change that, so I decided I would give him the benefit of the doubt and see what happens.  His healthcare bill turned out to be a joke.  Ok, no big deal.  No one's perfect.  But the last few months I just get more and more outraged by him.  A few weeks ago, in response to the rising gas prices, his comment was, "Just deal with it, and if you don't like it trade in your gas guzzler for a more fuel efficient vehicle."  I've been in this situation before.  When I lived in Elk City, I had 17 miles one way to work.  We ended up having to give up a perfectly good house and move closer to work because it was costing me $10 a day just to drive to work.  For arguement sake, let's test Obama's suggestion here.  I had a 1985 Chevy pickup that got about 10 mpg.  It was definately a gas guzzler.  But, it was mine, free and clear.  My only expense was very low property taxes, liability only insurance that was about $20 a month, and the gas to get to work.  So, for a normal person working 5 days a week, that's $50 a week, $200 a month.  Now, say I decided to get a more fuel efficient car.  First of all, there's going to be a lein payment, and $300 a month would be the lowest you're gonna get.  Then you add full coverage insurance and much higher property taxes.  When all that's over, you STILL have to put gas in the car!  So you're talking $400-$500 a month now.  How is that saving money??  It's that kind of thinking that's made this country what it is today.  With unemployment what it is now, what is someone without a job supposed to do??  USA is the greatest country in the world, but we are not very well liked with the rest of the world.  Other countries HATE us.  I can't say that I blame them right now.  The healthcare system in this country is an embarrasment.  Most of you know what happened last summer with a very dear friend of mine.  Getting hit by that train probably cost millions upon millions of dollars to get him fixed up.  Had that happened in Canada, it wouldn't have cost a dime.  You can go to Canada, break both arms and legs and get fixed up for FREE.  It's getting to the point where someone has to take out a second mortgage on their home just for a damn doctor's visit.  Crime and violence is at an all time high.  This is the greatest country in the world, and it's getting flushed down the toilet right now.  Obama claimed he could fix it.  Well, he's finding out that he is no different than any of his predecessors.  Then there is the "birth certificate" issue.  Everyone knows that to be president you have to be a natural born citizen.  There was speculation during his campaign about his birthplace, first raised by the Clinton's.  More recently, Donald Trump has gotten involved.  At first, I didn't like the idea that Trump was getting involved in politics.  But, since that time, I have been convinced.  He wanted to put this issue to rest, and since Obama was reluctant to provide proof, he sent people on a mission to uncover the truth.  Today, he told Oprah Winfrey that he asked the Hawaiian government to release his birth records.  Why, after all this time is he finally doing it now?  If he had nothing to hide, why not disclose it way back when the Clinton's wanted to see it?  He called this issue "silliness" and that "we need to get to more important things".  This silliness would not be an issue if he had shown it when it was first asked for.  He created this "silliness" by hiding it for so long.  If there is something about me, in this case where I was born, I was born in Dodge City Kansas.  And if anyone wants to dispute that, I have no problem whatsoever with providing proof of that.  Look at this from a law perspective.  If a criminal is withholding evidence in a court case, doesn't that make him appear more guilty?  If he has nothing to hide, he would provide the evidence.  Concealing information, wether true of not, only makes you look more guilty.  If this document is real, then why did he wait for so long to release it?  Why didn't he release it from the beginning, and we wouldn't be talking about this!!  "We need to get to more important things" is right.  Since the birthright issue was taken on by Donald Trump, he has voiced his interest in running for president.  I was skeptical at first, but since then, I'm becoming more and more convinced that he is exactly what this country needs.  In his official response to the issue today, he made the comment that "we can talk about oil, we can talk about gas prices, we can talk about China ripping off this country, we can talk about OPEC doing numbers in this country like no one's ever done before."  Do you think Obama would make a bold statement like that?  NO, he would NOT.  He's going to try to be too political and keep the peace.  Keeping the peace is what got us into this mess in the first place.  The president of the United States is supposed to be a representative of the people.  He's supposed to support the people.  When an issue comes up that troubles the people, he's supposed to resolve the issue.  Instead of telling us to deal with rising gas prices, he should be doing something to fix it and bring gas prices back down.  This country will never survive on $4 a gallon gas.  This country needs someone in that office who will fight for this country and the people in it, not trying to kiss China's ass, or make nice with other countries.  China is one of the biggest human rights violators in the world, more than Iraq or Lybia.  You don't see Obama going in there and trying to fix that...  I was terrified at the idea of having Donald Trump as president at the beginning, but over the past few weeks, it has become clear to me that this country needs a drastic change, and Trump could be just the person to do that.  He's got the arrogance it takes to stand up to bullies like China and Russia.  He's got his own empire, so there is no need for him to support "special interests".  That may be a scary thought to some of you, but if we continue down the path we are now, it's going to be the end of us, and that is a MUCH scarier thought to me.  So, I hope Trump decides to run for president in 2012, and I will be one of his biggest supporters...
