Nobama
Once again today the stock market has gone down, with the Dow Jones falling over 250 points. The month of August ended with no jobs being created in the country. President Obama said that he has created a new jobs plan that will help put the economy back on track, and increase job growth. If this is truly what his plan would do it would be great, except nobody knows what the plan is because he hasn't told any details about his plan. Since Obama says his plan will help the economy so much, the question I’m wondering is; why is Obama waiting so long to release his jobs plan in a time of need like this? Perhaps he is still improving some parts of it, but shouldn't he still give details to congress and the American people so they can understand and consider what his plan is all about. In my opinion this is one of the many things Obama has done wrong as president. Another error in my opinion was his handling of the debt crisis. There is definitely blame to be put on both parties; however I believe Obama handled the situation the worst. He claimed that if the debt deal didn't go through, some citizen’s social security checks wouldn't go through. He stressed the importance of the passing of the deal, yet when a republican made plan was potentially going to be passed, Obama said that he would not let it pass and would veto it. To me that seems very contradictious. Another bad decision by the president is the idea Obamacare, an act to change the nation’s health care system. I believe the act is not at all a good thing for the country. The act would make it so every citizen would need to purchase health insurance, or face a stiff fine. It is ridiculous to try forcing all Americans to buy health insurance for their entire lives, that is why the act was found to be unconstitutional by two judges, because the government has limited powers over citizens, and this definitely exceeds those limits. For many other reasons I believe Obama is doing an overall poor job in his presidency, and many people seem to agree with me, which is why his latest approval ratings are at a low 40%.
