Goodbye, President Obama! I have had the utmost respect for the Obama family and never boycotted his election. As any intellectual person understands, the presidency goes in waves. Usually, after 4 or 8 years of one party holding the presidency, the other party gets fed up and goes out to vote in order to get its party into office.
From the day Obama was elected for the first time, I was upset. I was young and didn't exactly understand what was going on, but I saw my elder friends and family upset. I have been brought up with class conservative views, so that was all I knew. As I got older, I was able to evaluate the parties for myself, and I decided that the Republican Party was the party for me.
Being conservative, it is no surprise that I had a lot of issues with the Obama Administration. I won't miss turning on the news and seeing new handouts on my precious tax dollars. I won't miss seeing unemployed men and women expecting a lavish lifestyle. I won't miss enabling those who aren't hardworking to continue their lives of doing absolutely nothing and reaping the benefits of our extremely flawed system.
President Obama always presented himself extremely professionally and well, as did his wife; however, his political views are views that I felt were so unfair to the hardworking middle and upper classes. People want free handouts and don't realize that the benefits they are receiving are NOT free. Nothing in life is free. Someone had to shell out the money for whatever you are receiving at no cost.
Obama has spent more money and drove us into deeper debt that every president before him cumulatively. It's frustrating on so many levels to have money ripped from your pocket without having the say in where it goes. In the past, money was power; however, with the Democratic Party in power, the people with the money barely have a say in where it goes.
You can't use your background, family, and upbringing to backup your laziness and failure. Success comes from the drive you have inside you, not from taking free handouts. Where is your self pride? The lifestyle you were born into, you have no control over, but what you do with your life is totally and completely in your individual control.
