An Interesting Perspective

So, as my readers may or may not know, I'm employed at my university's Alumni Calling Center. I talk to all sorts of people there, but two calls stuck out in my mind. The president was giving a speech, so the president was on people's minds when I called.

The first call: "Well, I can't give tonight, but maybe when Obama fixes this economy, I'll be able to."

Why are you waiting for someone else to fix your finances? Hope Zombies scare me folks. They believe that the government can fix everything. It's just not true. There has to be some sort of drive to do it on your own. We, as Americans, were built on this drive. The spirit of independence is weak in the nation today. We've become dependent on the government. This isn't what we should be doing. It's shameful that we act in this way. No one man, one government can change your situation except for you. Obama tricked the nation into thinking otherwise.

The second call: "Well, I'd love to give, but that man on the TV terrifies me. He's already wiped out so much of my retirement, it only sounds like he's gonna take more."

I'm glad people have sense. Obama has only hurt this nation since he's taken office. He's taken money right out of our wallets, and ran up a debt that our children's children will be taking care of, if not beyond that. I wanted to tell this woman not to let go. I was working, so I had to stick to work related matters, but we can change this. We can fight back. We have to hold strong, we have to fight back. Obama is robbing the nation. In 2010, we can call the police on him. We can elect a strong conservative congress that will stop him from further indebting our children. Once the nation begins to wake up from the big dose of "hope" they took, we can take back the White House. It's not too late, readers. It's never too late for reason.

Until next time, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.
