Hope Isn't Hiring

[ClydeR]

Now that Republicans got rid of Michael Steele, the Republican Party is getting its act together with a new website, hopeisnthiring.com (https://www.hopeisnthiring.com/Social.htm) that shows all the ways that Obama isn't creating jobs. Republicans would create jobs by doing the opposite of all the things listed there.

First, I wouldn't say that the goal of the site is to do the opposite of all things listed there. That's as extreme as the clear slant on many of the items listed there.

I mean, while I don't believe Obama is a fantastic President, I also don't think he's the devil out to destroy America. That website paints him as a lying hypocrite and doesn't allow for greater context other than some sound bite quotes. Obama made promises he hasn't kept, or has amended, sure, but that is simply part of being a President, and not being omniscient. I believe he had intentions of honoring his promises (crazy ones or not) and has since learned effecting some fundamental change is more challenging that he thought, or he’s learned more about the situation and his opinion/direction has changed.

I don’t think it gives him a fair shake.

And don’t get me wrong, I disagree with many of his goals – but really, I hope everyone who reads it doesn’t take them as gospel but also doesn’t dismiss them out of hand. It’s our (the voting public) responsibility to be informed and draw our own conclusions.

We should hug it out.
