An Emphathic No

What does it tell you that the stock market has dropped roughly 25% since Obama took office? The stock market has a way of casting it vote each day on the different situations around the world. Unrest in the Middle East is met with an immediate increase in oil prices. When the situation reverses, the price goes in the opposite direction.

So, what does the market tell us about it's feelings about the Obama policies? I believe it is saying "they suck". That is the only way to read the situation. The Treasury Secretary half heartedly tells us what he is going to do and the market plunges 300 points. Obama gives his State of the Union, and the market suffers another down day. Naturally, the $3.5 trillion budget was met with the same results.

Larry Kudlow has an excellent article about this very subject. Read it here.

I think Kudlow is right (one of the few times). Obama has an all-out assault on the business. He believes that anything not in the control of the Federal Government is bad. Private investment is something that needs to be destroyed. If he cannot regulate it, he wants to tax it or nationalize it. This is the essence of his administration.

The sad truth is the government cannot solve any problems. They have zero problem solving skills. If you doubt it, look at education. We trusted the government to educate our children and we have a bunch of idiots. At the end of the day, waste and fraud prevail when the government is involved.

We are seeing the only semblance of intelligence voting each day on Wall Street. The American people voted overwhelmingly for Obama. However, most of them are like sheep. They will do anything NBC news tells them to do. The market is made up of people who have the financial risks exposed. They tell us who is wrong and who is right.

And, at the moment, Barack Obama is totally wrong.

"I am the President"

These are the words from our fearless leader to Congressional Republicans at a meeting in which he was trying to drum up bipartisan support for his spending bill. So much for the change we were promised.

Did anyone really believe that Obama was going to do anything other than what he wanted? The idea of reaching across the aisle is a farce. Washington is full of people who live according to an ideology. This is something they will not change.

Obama was a liberal while in Congress. The old saying is that a "leopard does not change it's spots". Well, Obama is ruling like a liberal. And, you can expect more of it to come. He is in charge because "He is the President". Of course, a Democratic Congress helps too.

What does this mean for the rest of us: more government intervention. We are going to see the largest increase in the size of government that this country ever saw. Suddenly, Washington feels it is alright to run up a deficit into the trillions. What do they care? They won't be in office when our grandchildren have to deal with these decisions.

Obama is just one more in the long line of ideologues who occupy offices in Washington. There is no more concern of doing what is best for the American people. Instead, all of them, on both sides of the aisle, focus solely upon pushing their political agenda. In the end, that is all that matters to them.

Obama is the President and he is now started campaigning for four more years in 2012.
