Two events occurred last week which led me to conclude that we need new leadership - quickly.
First, we tapped our oil reserves. These are the reserves saved up for national emergencies. The emergency? Supposedly Libya, for reasons unknown. Of course, the real reason for releasing the reserves were poll numbers which showed Americans are sick of high gas prices. This is another bill we'll have to pay in the future as we must catch up on our energy program and replenish reserves at the same time.
Second, the White House unveiled its' business stimulation program. In doing so, they revealed their lack of economic aptitude. When Obama states that "we can't save our way to prosperity", he speaks of the government as if it's a wealth-producing business rather than a pure cost. Costs should be reduced, Mr. President, not increased. If the government of Mr. Edison's day had volunteered to "help", we'd still be reading by candlelight.
It matters not who opposes the president in November 2012, they have my vote now.
