Obama’s actions speak louder than his words

Dear Editor:

This presidential election reminds me of a story: two students are running for student body president. On the day of their campaign speeches, the first offers a well-thought-out plan for improving conditions at the school.

The second offers free ice cream. Candidate #2 wins in a landslide! Are American voters this naïve?

Our forefathers gave up everything to come to this land of the great human experiment of self-government. They came seeking freedom — not just freedom of religion but freedom from oppressive governments that ruled every element of their lives. Obama's clear objective is to take America back to federal government control — he has bypassed our duly-elected Congress to pass his agenda by using 923 executive orders in 40 months in office. All this was done behind closed doors and in conference with his hand-picked, non-vetted, extremely liberal "czars." Even congressional committees cannot get the facts. Obama has even ignored decisions made by the Supreme Court of this land. Impeachable!

Where is the balance of power so carefully laid out in our Constitution? He insults our allies while pandering to our enemies. He spends trillions of dollars of borrowed money that we, the people, must pay back. He is admittedly ashamed of the pledge of allegiance and the American flag. Watch Obama's actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where America is headed. He wants to go FORWARD with his agenda. Are we, the people, going to let him?
