He sounds much like a dictator to me as everyday passes.. I've never been one for politics, but for some reason I've recently become more aware of whats going on, so with that said, I'm a newbie to politics..

I can already see it though, whats happening with the Auto industry, the banks, and so forth.. I thought the Government wasn't supposed to get involved in matters such as these? Help maybe, but telling them what they can and cannot do, telling them they must restructure before getting any more help? It sounds smart, I dont loan money to anyone who will just blow it on whatever and not take advantage of my kindness. So why should the Government? That subject is a double edged sword I know. But it's a stepping stone, it seems like the right thing to do, and it is, but is it just a step closer to a socialist society?

Rushing bills that nobody can review fast enough? Who knows what could be hidden in those bills, yet they were passed. Just another stepping stone? I dont know, I really dont, but from my limited view of things, it's not looking good.. You tack on the other issues, add them all together, does it not seem strange?

I've yet to see how Obama has helped anyone.. I see him giving billions away to big companies, who are going down because of bad practices, and because the average Joe like you and me cant afford to pay them. They are getting help, but where is the help for the little guy? We're still losing homes, vehicles, our jobs, and it all boils down to the people not having the money to spent to support these companies. To throw salt on the wound, it's our money thats bailing these companies out.....

Businesses, I'm half owner of a business. Our business has flat crashed, we're losing money so fast it's making our head spin. I started working half days to help, which in turn hurts me. I've got medical bills that eat up a 1/3rd of my income, yet I can only claim 5K of that on taxes? HA, that doesnt even cover half of what I pay in medical bills, this does not include the 500 bucks a month I pay for insurance. My tax return doesnt even come close to helping me, I hate to see that every drop of it will go to help the companies who are the same people to whom my hard earned money is being given to by the government, while I'm no closer to paying it all off... It hurts me bad only working half days.. Yet what we have to pay the Texas Workforce Commission has gone up 32% from last yr. I sure hope that money will keep my alive and kicking when and god forbid we have to shut down. So much for helping the little guys huh? We're hurting, yet spending a butt load of money to the Commission thats helping people who are unemployed, and that will be one of the reason's why the company might have to be shut down if we cant get some income coming in..

Ammo? People are scared they wont be able to get it anymore. Supply and demand, thats all it is. I paid 5 dollar a gallon diesel last yr, many times spending over 140 bucks to not even fill a truck up. Was there a shortage? Yeah, but only because the oil producers caused the shortage. How else do you explain the record profits being made during that time? People driving less? Price of gas goes up, people cant afford it, yet oil producers are making record profits? Yeah, that doesnt sound fishy at all........ The ammo? Did Obama play a role in the price increase? Yep, he did, but it wasn't because of a under the table deal, it was fear from the sheeple..

From where I'm sitting, I only see the rich getting richer. It's always been this way, always will be this way, but you dont throw wood on the fire to put it out. You have to control a fire before you can put it out, and that happens by people working together to get it under control, which cant happen if we dont have the tools to fight it. It doesnt happen by working the fire directly. I'm no numbers guy, I know squat about politics. I'm just a simple minded country boy who works hard for a living. If I can see whats going on, then I'm either totally wrong and dont have a clue about how things work, or the government is trying to do some major restructuring of our entire economy. Middle class turns into weak lower class, while the powerful upper class takes control.. Sounds like someone is power hungry..
