Thomas Paine's Open Letter to President Obama

This video was posted a few days ago by "Thomas Paine", i.e. Bob Basso, the great American Character Actor, with an emphasis on "character". It is an answer to the internet rumor about Thomas Paine being summoned to the White House. The answer is...

These are words, that express better than I ever could, the feelings and anxiety that all of us, as Americans, are experiencing since the meltdown of the American Dream. I only hope that President Obama will listen to this man, this Thomas Paine of the current era.

Alas, I don't think he will. President Obama has shown little inclination to compromise on any subject. He seems to think he, and only he, has all the answers to America's problems. He refuses to see that actions taken by the Congress and initiated or approved by the White House have been the cause of our rapid decline. He is supremely confident that his actions have saved America. Any blame that Obama should accept as his own is aimed at the Bush Administration.

The President can only say things are getting better for so long without taking responsibility for the current mess that we are in. Reckless spending has been the hallmark of this very new Administration. You can't give away trillions of dollars and plan to spend billions more without consequences. Someone is going to notice, and somebody is.

His supporters are finally starting to understand the position Obama has put us in. His personal popularity is still high but it has sllowly fallen since the election. His policies are starting to be challened by his supporters. Ina new Zogby Poll his Policies in certain areas are starting to show loss of support in amazing areas. The poll was conducted using only people who voted for Obama.

On Gun Control 50% of his supporters say they want current gun laws enforced instead of enacting new lasws. 65 % of Obama voters think that Sailors and Merchant Marines should be armed when operating off the coast of Somalia.

48% of supporters want a Free Market Economy as opposed to only 28% want the Government to continue on it's current path towar Socilism. One of the largest number of Obama voters to go against an Administration idea of allowing President Obama to sieze control of the Internet in the event of an emergency. 70% of his supporters balked at this proposal that was introduced by four Senators last week. The bill dosen't specify what constitutes an emergency. As Rahm says, "never waist a good crisis".

The poll is a fascinating read. Six months from now, when the shit really hits the fan I wonder where those numbers will be?

I think this next video is worth seeing again... It is a Thank You from Thomas Paine to the Tea Party Patriots and a new call for a Million "We the People" March to Washington...

Be Proud of Your Efforts...We Are the New Patriots!
Stand Up for America!
