OBAMA AND TEDDY ROOSEVELT? NOT EVEN CLOSE!

So President Obama attempted to equate himself with Teddy Roosevelt. Not even close. Well you could cite the difference in military and executive experience between the two but, that would too obvious. No, there are other areas where Teddy Roosevelt would in no uncertain terms show Obama a thing or two where he is failing the country. Here is some of the money quotes from our misguided Commander and Chief:

“This country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share and when everyone plays by the same rules,” -President Obama

Same rules Obama? Please don't make me laugh! How about the millions of illegal immigrants that you are allowing to remain here in this country. Are they playing by the same rules? When they steal someones identity is that fair.  When illegal immigrants undercut the wages of American workers in the construction and other industries yet you do nothing to stop it. Is that fair?  Hmmmm, now what would Teddy Roosevelt say about that? How about:

 "No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it." -Theodore Roosevelt

In fact the Obama Administration does everything in it's power to stop anybody that attempts to make sure that illegal immigrants obey our laws. As the Obama Administration  has done over and over in Arizona, Alabama and South Carolina. No, sir when it comes to making sure American laws are obeyed Obama and the Democrats do everything in their power to make sure they not enforced. They even go further as to release those illegals who have broken out laws back into U.S. communities. As Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitiano recently admitted.

No President Obama the only Teddy that you should compare yourself with is this one:

Ford layoffs and the dying Middle Class.

With the Ford Motor Company annoucment that it will layoff 25% of it's workforce one has to wonder what will happen to many of these workers. While some will get and take buyout offers others will be called into the office and just be told to get out. It may be a slow process or a very quick one. These laid off workers I think will find it to be harder this time then in previous layoffs. Having been laid off a few times myself it seems I was always able to find a temporary job to carry me through until another higher paying position opened up. I pumped gasoline for a few months during one dry period many years ago. Today, even those temporary jobs may be harder to find. Thanks to the failure of the Federal Government to protect the borders the result of which has allowed millions of Illegal Immigrants into the country doing many of the jobs that would have helped some of the blue collar assembly line workers bridge the time between jobs. They will not be able to compete with the low wages the illegals are paid (and who get food and shelter from groups like Catholic Charities using U.S. taxpayer dollars) while the Ford workers will have a house and family to support. Even more bleak is the fact that there may not be any future jobs available that will pay as well as the jobs they were laid off from. Some of them will start the slow spiral downward and leave the middle class lifestyle that they have enjoyed and that is a tragedy for all of us.
