Why?

People often ask me the following question.. "Why don't you like Obama?"

Instead of having to explain myself dozens of times, I thought I would just blog about it.. Seems easier to me!

So to start off my post, I just want to clarify that I don't "hate" Obama. People like to trash republicans (especially in Flagstaff) and go among some of these typical stereotypes- "Republicans are racist white trash. They are not concerned about the environment because they drive big SUVs... Oh, and they hate Obama."

If you know me, you would know that I am definitely not racist (or white trash. If it counts for anything, I'm actually not even white). I don't drive an SUV, my mother does, and just because she does, doesn't mean we don't care about the environment. I don't believe in global warming, and I most certainly don't believe that it is caused by man. Believe it or not, cows flatulence releases more CO2 than cars do. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) agriculture is responsible for 18% of the total release of greenhouse gases world-wide (which is more than the whole transportation sector). And lastly, I do not "hate" Barack Obama.

I can understand why people think this because I have a lot of t-shirts I made that insult him. It's all fun and games. But yes, he is not nearly my favorite person and I think he is nothing close to presidential material.

So why don't I like him you ask?

First of all, all of the "change" he said he would bring turned out to be bad change! He claimed he'd pull out of the war (which I don't agree with) and he's putting more funding towards it! (therefore not following through) He has added several trillion dollars of debt to this country and wastes tax payer's money. He created "obamacare" for the 15% of Americans who couldn't afford health care and the other 85% are paying for it. He is now filing a law suit against Arizona for its immigration policy. Because allowing illegals is the "American thing to do". We don't know much about him and it's scary. And pardon me but his middle name is Hussein, is that not kind of scary to anyone?! Has everyone forgotten about Obama's pastor who was saying screw America? That's our president folks...
