It is understandable that many people in this country are hurting and are scared over a faltering economy and a lack of jobs, but to be scared stupid is only going to make matters worse. A recent article in the St. Pete Times alluded to the slipping support Obama is feeling from within the Hispanic community, a major player in Florida during the 2008 election.
Manuel Santiago, a part-time pizza delivery driver stated, "I'm already at the point where I don't know if I can give him [Obama] more time." More time? Barring catastrophic circumstances, Obama will finish this term, so I have to assume that Santiago is referring to the 2012 elections. What then? Vote for a Republican? These are the very people who are holding our country back by refusing to do anything beyond destroying Obama.
If the Republican party gave a rat's ass about anything other than shooting Obama down in flames, they would be doing it already. The Republican party of old would be working for the betterment of all Americans. Remember the G.O.P. - the Government of the People? What happened to them? Apparently, they joined Elvis and "have left the building".
Another Hispanic voter uttered the epitome of stupid statements, "I am not going to vote at all." By not voting at all, this person intends to hand the presidency to The Party of No, as in "no idea what we are doing, so we will revert to the glory days of the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, and Rove dynasty". Give me a break! That is how we got into the mess Obama is trying to deal with today.
Edwin Soto Jr. of Tampa, an unemployed master's degree holder suggested that he is now looking to the Republicans for help [getting a job]. Lot's of luck on that Master Soto. For those keeping up with current events, there is a jobs bill floating around that Obama is trying to get passed. The President thinks that this bill would be beneficial to the country and her people. The Republicans could give a rat's ass.
If the Republicans cared at all about anything other than demonizing and obliterating Obama they would sign on to the jobs bill and give it a "test drive". To use an automobile analogy, drive it around the block to see whether it's a lemon or not. If it proves to be a clunker, then the Republicans have a real case against Obama and his policies. Of course, if it is not a lemon then all the Republicans would have done is helped America - and, that would never do!
So, to all Americans, I implore you not to be scared stupid. Obama didn't get us into this mess. Remember who did and ask yourselves, "Do I want to give the Republicans another chance to do it to us again?"
As King George the Bush so eloquently put it:
''You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you need to concentrate on.''
