This editorial <http://www.examiner.com/bay-area-moderateconservative- in-san-francisco/thank-god-for-president-obama> was written by a 82-year-old very wise lady. She gives us a whole new slant on the amazing job Obama is doing:
1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, Driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations. That's something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary presidency scared the daylights out of you?
2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty. No more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and Freedom are safer tonight!
3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race – quit. Evan Bayh had never lost a racequit. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race – quit. Arlen Specter, the great turncoat and heavily supported by Obama – defeated in the Pennsylvania primary. Ted Kennedy's lifetime seat in Congress – gone. New Jersey governor Corzine, heavily supported by Obama – defeated. Harry Reid – soon to be gone. Joe Biden's former Senate seat in Delaware – soon to be Gone.
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be gone. In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House, if not the Senate back to the Republicans.
4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well. Liberals tax, borrow and spend – check. Liberals can't bring themselves to protect America – check. Liberals want to take over the economy – check. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone – check. Liberals aren't happy till they are running YOUR life – check.
5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he has rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!
6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore.
In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends and strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat wrong. When the American People wake up no smooth-talking, teleprompter-reading can fool them!
Barack Obama woke up these Great Americans!
Again I want to say Thank You Barack Obama!
This is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed.
