The President Says he will work with Congress, but which President?

An Article by:

Thomas Melaccio

Well today the Associated Press released an article, which was featured on page 13a of the St. Petersburg Times here in Florida. One would have thought it warranted front-page play but then again in my opinion many people only read the front page, sports and the comics. In my opinion what better place to put this article so not many will see it. Yes, the newly “elected” president of Mexico pledged to work hard for immigration reform with our congress so his citizens can work in the United States. Rhetorically, one wonders why our President doesn’t work hard with somebody to protect our interests here at home? Mr. Calderon is a member of [I don’t think you will believe this] a “pro business action party, which his predecessor also belonged to. Rhetorically, does one think there really may have been a problem with this election?

Now he says that he needs to work hard for the youth of his nation to find work because of a lack of alternatives in his nation. Rhetorically, do you think he should be focused on his own nation and keep his hands off of ours? We already have an abundance of companies like our auto industry [who say buy American but do much of their business south of the border and in other nations]. Just the other day they bragged about the increase in Hispanics in college. Yes, on scholarships and grants and all kinds of financial aide. What do you get? You got it- the student loan our president pledged to keep the rates from going up but just had to increase.

Well truthfully, where are our youth? Oh I know they are competing for jobs at major retailers with the illegal workers or those with false I.D. Yes, they are working for $6.00 and less and [this is the good news] as much as $9.00 and hour and trying to support their families. Our youth have no health care, retirement or pension [that’s a laugh who is going to have the money to bail these out- certainly not the government] and cannot afford to buy, much less support, a home.

Yes, something is errantly wrong in Mud Ville? I would ask you to look at my other articles concerning immigration. As Joe Friday on Dragnet used to say, “Just the facts” and that is what I try to present. Perhaps 2010 An American Paradigm is becoming 2008 and American Paradigm?

Well if you want to sit and do nothing and continue to keep these same representatives of ours in Congress, these same Democrats or Republicans with the same ideologies, you are approving it for you and yours for years to come. Just sit home and do nothing, or vote for them because, as you know in your heart your one of the ones doing great and are one of that 20% who are doing well. But if you’re an average American and love your nation it just may be time for you to wake up! Your answer will be given on Election Day. If you vote these incumbents from both parties in, regardless of what they profess, in my opinion you deserve “How Did We Get Here”.

If you vote for those they endorse you deserve the same.

Now I certainly desire to be wrong. It is just an opinion, however have you heard the truth from them? I’ll ask again, have you heard truth from this entire bunch and when? Tell me the truth about Iraq? Tell me the president didn’t say, “ I won’t raise the rates on student loans”. Tell me the past of many in Congress is not questionable? Tell me they are not biased toward big business? Tell me they have your interest in mind?

One could go on and on but you know something, in my opinion and based on what is transpiring right before our eyes, we average Americans are not considered capable of much. Give us a tailgate, a beer and a paycheck and we don’t give a damn about anything until it impacts us.

They had those famous sayings to excite people into action like “Remember the Maine”, “Remember The Alamo” [the Mexicans certainly do] and “Nuts” but the new slogan for Americans in these times is “Why”? Boot them all out and that will send a message for years to come! “Remember the People” should be the new battle cry!

If you enjoyed this pass it along and don’t forget you have a chance, it is called election day!
