Dispirited

I heard the term "dispiriting" used the other day.  It doesn't matter who said it (I can't remember the name anyway).
What does matter is the context in which the word was used.     
The commentator implied that "Obama is dispiriting the American people."
I have to agree with this assessment.  Whether what Obama is doing is on purpose or by design or just a case of willful neglect, it's becoming more and more apparent that this guy doesn't have a clue as to the mess he's created and the fallout.  
Could it be that we're finally seeing the real Obama--A Legend in His Own Mind?

Could this new awareness of Obama sway many of those who voted for him?  Or, doesn't it matter?


Under this presidency, we're now in so much debt, we'll never be able to pay it back.  And if you argue that we can, I'd sure like you to spell out the steps necessary to regain solvency.   

Under this presidency, we've suffered a housing meltdown and yes, this housing meltdown was caused, created and made worse by those who came before Obama, and I believe one that could have been avoided,  but couldn't it have been handled a little better?  Maybe we wouldn't have so many people losing their homes.

The banks were also to blame but then weren't they being pressured by Congress to give loans to just about anyone, without even checking on whether or not they could make payments?

Again, who in Congress was held accountable for this outrage?  Did you see anyone going to jail? 

Then we had the banking scandals where they were scolded and paid a fine.  They're still in business but many other people are not.

The government overstepping, once again, by nationalizing part of the American automobile industry instead of allowing those companies to file for bankruptcy, getting their affairs in order and being given a new start.


Instead, this was a good excuse for another government takeover.  


Haven't we learned our lesson?  Government is not the solution.  Government is the problem.

And where are the jobs?  

Fast forward to DOJ and Fast and Furious; the now infamous NSA spying on the American people; drones flying all over the place and the FBI admitting that they (the drones) are also spying on the American people.

Then the nefarious IRS who takes our money, then runs roughshod over American citizens, all because they belong to a certain political group or have a certain ideology, different from the Obama administration, of course.

Then Mr. Rosen, Fox News, who was charged with a possible case of espionage and the AP being wiretapped.  All under the Obama administration--Intimidation, lies, scandals, deception. 


How about a State Department that either through just plain ignorance or outright didn't give a damn about the plight of our Libyan Ambassador and three other Americans when they were requesting protection and help but instead allowed their compound to be overrun and the four of them slain.

What is happening, under this administration, is unconscionable and unfathomable.


And where is the American media in all this?
They continue to remain mum, hiding in the background painting the people reporting on these  atrocities as some type of nut case.
Will anyone in this administration be held accountable for ANYTHING?
If anyone is to be blamed, even more than the President, for the mess we're in, it is CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN because by their silence, they have sanctioned and approved what this President is doing and all by remaining silent.


Scandal after Scandal after Scandal.

Seriously, though, I'm really beginning to wonder just who is in charge of this run-away country.

It certainly doesn't appear to be the President--He's never home.

And when you ponder the implications of this, isn't that more than a little scary?

Maybe the commentator was right on the money.
