Obama Seeks Four More Years to Extend High Unemployment Rate

President Obama hasn't reduced the national unemployment rate much more than 1 percent in his first term. He seeks another four years to maybe drop that unemployment average another 1%. For those of us that are unemployed 8 years of unemployment in the U.S.A. tends to try one's patience.

The actual rate of underemployed and unemployed in the U.S.A. is reportedly 25%. Though the President has much union support he has encouraged illegal alien incursions across the southern states and provided a semblance of amnesty. Illegal alien workers are the scourge of union labor, yet U.S. labor unions are trained to follow the Democrat Party lead like loyalists and ignore their own subversion by the President.

The President does offer the prospect of running up the national debt 10 trillion dollars or more on his ten year plan, and that's encouraging to those collecting interest on the debt I suppose so long as the U.S.A. doesn't seem to be nearing default. Global warming is continuing to increase, and the President hasn't much chance of getting a budget passed through congress or ending the Bush II tax cuts that he championed in December 2010.

Well, given another four years to hack away at the congress he might find some way to improve his record, and he can golf another 300 rounds someplace I suppose.  It's interesting to watch from the sidelines as he invests the nation in continuing foreign conflict seeking to expand that to include Syria. Its good to know that African and Middle Eastern affairs are high on the Presidential agenda, and look what he has done for Europe.

In the critical 1992 election the billionaire Ross Perot ran as an independent and lost. He was the sole candidate solidly opposed to N.A.F.T.A. He said famously that the sucking sound you will here will be jobs going to Mexico, and he was right. The rich are not always wrong or misleading on U.S. interests-sometimes they can actually lead in the right direction if given a chance-as did Franklin D. Roosevelt back in the day. It was the union favorite Bill Clinton that signed off on N.A.F.T.A. and also put home mortgages on the global commodities market undermining the future of the middle class.

Maybe U..S. voters simply become lazy and expect their politicians to be honest and consistent, and they also believe that reality T.V. is worth watching.

In a meeting in Korea President Obama mentioned to then Russian President Medvedev that he could really get things done after he was re-elected. I can hardly wait to learn what that would be, yet on the other hand...
