Why I'm Pissed At Obama

Now, I know there's a lot of tension in the air about Obama. There are a lot of people throwing around the word "racism" like it's a catch all just because the man is black. I would like to clarify. There is a very particular reason I'm ticked with him.

At the end of the day, it's not because his first 100 days were not magic. It's not because "I'm not giving him enough time" as many Obama-ites are usually quick to claim. In fact, I'm not mad at what he hasn't done. I'm mad at what he HAS done. It't the backdoor politics. While Americans are all on the edge of breakdown over the economy, world affairs, and, now, Swine flu, he keeps sneaking things past us. The Auto Weapons Ban was put in front of congress with almost zero news coverage. It was shot down a few days later. He has, despite thorough campaign promises, actually EXPANDED the Bush-era Warrantless Wire-Tapping program, as opposed to cutting it back. Now, I understand, once you're actually IN the oval office, things change. New information is available, things are different. But, he didn't mention it. No statement was issued. Nothing. He merely pulled a 180, kept going, and acted like nothing was wrong.

I don't trust him. And that's why I'm mad. He worked very hard during the election to try to SEEM trustworthy, and he is failing to deliver on that trust. I'm mad, a lot of other people are mad, and you should probably be mad too.
