Barrack's 1st 100 Days: "Good news for government dependency, Bad news for economic opportunity"

The Politico has an interesting story headlined on Drudge Report regarding Barrack's first 100 days. Apparently supporters of the president are ecstatic at the job he's doing.

Here are my observations about Barrack's first 100 days and the reasons as to why he's perceived favorably among his constituency.

First, I still prescribe to the belief that a huge proportion of the general population, as well as a majority of the Obama voters do not understand the world view that Barrack possesses. They believe that the charges of anti-Americanism and radical left-wing beliefs have all been exaggerated by the political Right. They just don't believe the president can be that socialist. This is coupled with the fact that the majority of Obama supporters (the younger generation) have not experienced freedom and liberty the way our fathers and grand-fathers experienced it. We're used to being told what to do and how to think, so to speak. This generation hasn't had to do anything for themselves, and has the expectation that everything should be given. I think this is the first generation that would naively be willing to sacrifice freedom for security.

Second, most of the policies and burdens Obama and the current congress are implementing do not affect those who voted for the president. Obama makes clear that he stands "for the people". What that means is that he's against capitalism. As such, the uneducated and underemployed are insulated from tax increases, tighter regulations, and the results that occur in terms of the stock market as well as the decrease in white and blue collar jobs. This is part of "leveling the playing field".

You see, the poor plebes that Obama has enslaved will not see the negative effects of our economy. For whatever socio-economic reasons (laziness, apathy, sickness, etc), some Americans will never achieve the American dream. As such, Obama and the current congress will continue to tear down those that have drive and ambition in order to "make things fair" to those that can't. And THIS is how Obama's first 100 days has affected me and millions of others that are "on the economic fence". Obama will make sure that I, and many other opportunity seekers end up on the wrong side. Once he has more than half the country dependent then he will cement his party's power as well as the misguided political philosophy that follows.
