6. Do you ever wonder why Obama doesn't speak the truth to Americans?
When Obama was on the campaign trail in 2008, in his descriptions of problems and in explaining his solutions, he gave very clear, very truthful answers. His speech on race was so spot on, it was what made me vote for him in the end.

But now he uses mostly right-wing, conservative, talking-points to describe what is happening in the economy. Oh, once-in-awhile, he will throw out a liberal thought or two using vague words and never identifying the true culprits. What Obama says about the economy today, could have easily been said (possibly using different terms but with the same meanings) by the RepubliCON President Herbert Hoover in 1931. Mostly he describes the economy using words like "free trade" "deficit spending cuts" "Cut Taxes to create jobs" "Free Trade Agreements create jobs" "Shared Sacrifice" "Privatization" and other such nonsense.

So why wont he speak the truth? Why wont he admit that without a huge middle class America with good paying jobs there is no chance of a recovery? Why does he spew forth all sort of right-wing babble and rarely address the real problems of this United States?
