Week One with Obama (he is acting instead of reacting)

Week One with Obama
He is acting, instead of Reacting ((Letter: 3) (1-28-2009))


I see CNN, and a few other folks have evaluated Obama’s first week in office, and therefore so shall I (and it looks to be there report more positive than mine). Some one said, he is doing a good balancing act. It is more like he is acting, not reacting, he has a good psychotherapist by his side, that takes practice.
Anyhow, how is he doing? To me, not very good, He is simply taking from Peter and giving to Paul, as far as the Middle East goes. And saying “Look! I did what I said I was going to do, and then makes an about turn, by sending 30,000 more American troops next door, to Afghanistan from Iraqi, and a lot more money to build their so called infrastructure, now that we’ve poured a trillion into Iraqi’s. Thus, the balance in the Middle East is the same, even though it may look different.
Then there is an implication that he is going to congress and try to present his logic to the Republicans, for spending the $825-billion dollars. It has been said, he has enough democratic support, he really doesn’t need the Republicans support, but like a good guy, he’s going to go talk to them. Now listen up please, he is not going over there to change his agenda, he is going over there to try and persuade, and the word persuade, really means, in plain talk, manipulate, the Republicans, to march along with his tune, for the sake of unity, for what it looks like to the rest of the world. He already has his agenda set, matter of fact; he had modified Bush’s old agenda for spending the money, which was made up by Republicans, so it is really more a slap in the face if anything. He would be better off not going at all; just do your thing.
He is like he has been from the beginning, secretive. In some countries that is called a man with no blood in his face, one who can look you in the eyes, and stab you in the back (figure of speech of course, for those folks who cannot read between he lines).
So no, not one thing worth while has taken place since he took office, worthy of acclaiming he is doing his job according to the wishes of the majority of the people in the United States. To the contrary.
The best I can say for him this past week is, he is not afraid to say he’ll go after terrorists even if he has to cross boarders without permission. Although that is one thing I would have kept secret until after the action. I hope now, he doesn’t say he’s sorry for saying what he said. He’s got to learn to shut his mouth some times, even though he loves to talk, and saying ‘sorry’ doesn’t help either. And as far as Pakistan, I know they do not want our unarmed robots flying about their boarder, and there is a good reason for that, the terrorists are losing sleep, and their president wants our president to give them information where the enemy are sleeping so they can go wake them up, but we all know better don’t we, you don’t bite the hand that feeds you. In this case, America sends a lot of dollars, tax free to them, and the terrorists, pay in other ways, to the government, of Pakistan, so they got both pockets full, or two birds with one stone, and they are trying to find the weakest link in the chain, and keep boy pockets filled at the same time, but you can’t keep feeding a dead duck. So they got to think.
