Mr. President, you showed great courage and leadership with the OBL Mission in Pakistan. You had the data, the options and the opportunity laid before you. You made the right decision, even though it was riskier than some of the other choices you could've made.
The lesson is that people in government face tough decisions, but when they do the right thing, even when there is a risk involved, America is better for it.
Mr. President, there are tough economic decisions facing this nation. We are looking at the enemies of joblessness, inflation, a devalued currency, deficit spending run amok, an ever growing national debt. The data is in, the options are before you, the opportunity is here. Will you show courage again and lead on this issue at the risk of making people angry and upsetting your party and constituents?
The data tells us that we are only a few years away from insolvency. The data tells us that our way of life is at risk if we do not tackle Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The data says we cannot keep spending more than we have to work with. The data says that increased taxes on ANY LEVEL only hinders economic growth and job creation. The data says that our credit-rating worthiness has been diminished. Warren Buffet is leaning away from investing in America. The largest hedge fund broker in the world is selling off its Treasury bonds. Standard and Poor has moved our credit rating from "stable" to "negative". The next step is to lower us to AA+ from AAA, lowering us below France and England. The International Monetary Fund has declared that the "Age of America" is coming to a close and we are looking at the dawn of the "Age of China". The data is in, we have to consider our options.
The options are before you: your deficit commission received kudos from both sides of the aisle, yet you have not embraced their ideas. Paul Ryan has proposed a bold plan to save our economy while saving the 3 entitlement programs that are our biggest challenges. Other economists and politicians are offering courageous options for you to help us end this cycle of economic sluggishness and return us to a vibrant and healthy state as we were for many decades. You have yet to communicate what options you are proposing. You are leading from the rear in contrast to how you led this weekend with OBL. Lead they way with viable options! Don't give us more of preserving the spending culture of Washington, providing handouts to everyone who is demanding, help create business options, entrepeneurial options, job creation options in the private sector, options that are proven winners.
The opportunity to take out OBL was there. You decisively took action. It was risky. If things didn't go well, you would be blamed and castigated by your foes. But you chose what was best for America, not for Barack Obama---and you have the respect of many, even your political adversaries for your courage and boldness.
You have the opportunity now. Time is running out. We can't afford another collapse. It may be irreversible if our economy hits another deep recession or depression. Decivsiveness may cost you votes from Democratic circles. You might make some NY Times editorialists angry. There might be some voting blocks who will protest. Hollywood might not welcome you as they used to. The media might crucify you. But cutting spending, lowering taxes, allowing for domestic oil production, encouraging businesses to spend their money on job creation, addressing the Chinese for their hostile trade policies, securing our borders, and making the government smaller and less intrusive will turn this ship around. And it will be right. And it will payoff in the end, either with reelection or with the historical legacy that in the last year and a half of your presidency you became bold and decisive in the War on Terror and in the War on Economic Disaster.

WOW!
Did you send this off to Obama?
He should have to read this over and over.
No, I just wrote it as though writing to him. Different way to start a thread.
I was just thinking if he could apply the same courage and guts he displayed killing OBL to the economy, we might have some real hope and change. In fact the economy is really more threatening to America now than Al Qaeda is. The best they could do was kill a handful to several thousand Americans at once---a financial collapse could ruin 350 million American lives for a really long, long time.

We have a smart President and he does have the answers to what will help our economy, but he can't do it unless the republicans will quit wanting the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. There are so many that want our President to fail, and even said so on television. I wonder why, is it because he is a democrat or is it because he is of mixed races? Wanting our President to fail, is just saying, that they want the United States of America to fail.

It's because his policies are and will stifle our economic growth. His drilling moratorium is one example.

Small Business Owners Don’t See the U.S. Recovering
An extensive survey by The Business Journals indicates a significant decline in small business owners’ confidence that the U.S. economy will regain its former strength.
I don't see what was so gutsy about Obama getting Osama. Intel said they had him. He didn't have much of a choice. If he had declined the information and action it would have leaked before the next election cycle.
Osama isn't our biggest threat anyway. It's the Muslim Brotherhood that is already entrenched here.
Some things have to be done and done fast. I honestly think the only chance we have is for the people to rise up and demand it. No more silly partisan games, lip service, etc... If the people don't demand change, there is no hope of any politician changing anything. To many powerful people and entities are benefitting from where we are and where we're heading.

Paul Ryan is the only one I see that is not playing partisan games. I read that he may become our president by default. We shall see. Would love to see Allen West or Herman Cain on the ticket as well.

If you remember, I called Ryan years ago before people were talking about him in that capacity. I almost wish he would begin a non-partisan movement now that would pull the sensible people away from both parties. However, I'm no sure the two-party monster can be defeated at this time. If he does run as a Rep though, he will sadly have to play the game like everybody else.

A teaching moment for you.
1 Obama had a Dem controlled house and Senate. What they did was detrimental to the economy
a raise min wage
b Obmamacare mandates
c deficit spending
2 Inflation. Deficit spending and the fast fall of the dollar are killing the poor with inflation. Inflation doesn't hurt the wealthy. Bad move
3 Adverse energy policies from feeding the Green Dragon to drilling embargo. (energy price inflation see#2 above)
4 I play no role in his adding 5 trillion to the deficit. Iwill be punished for his horrible spending.
