Disclaimer

My intent with this blog is to each week, or month remind everyone of the promises made by the Obama campaign, Nancy Pelosi, or any other politician that is in power.  I want to track the progress they make on the promises that they made to the American people.  I have chosen people with positions of power in our federal government on purpose, because they have the most influence.  I am biased, and do not intend on this blog presenting an unbiased view of our federally elected representatives.  I do not agree with all if not most of the Economic and National Security policies of the Democrats.  On the other hand, I do agree with their views on social issues, particularly abortion and gay rights.  I want to create a smaller Federal Government.  I would like to return social issues to the State governments, or even further the city and county governments.  I believe that social issues, while very much a big part of our lives, are NOT issues for our Federal Government to fix.

The remainder of my beliefs about government should show through the posts on this blog, but I would like to at least have everyone agree on two things.  They are:

• Our current Tax Code is a crock.  We need to overhaul it.  I have a philosophy I think would work, but I think we can all agree that our current tax code can not be fixed by adding to it, and only by getting rid of it.
• Our Federal Government has many programs, and I think we can agree that there is no way that even 50% of the federal government organizations, today, actually do there jobs well.  Our government is bloated and needs to go on a diet.  I think our government does one thing well Defense, and all that entails, but I think we can all agree that if you want something done well you don't let the Federal Government do it (besides steal money from high achieving Americans).

Well that's the start.  Within the next few weeks, I will put a blog up about each of the promises made during the Obama campaign.  Then once he is in office, I will chronicle their progress, and hopefully not "blow a gasket" when he creates a dependence on the Federal Government that will leads us to fascism, and potentially to socialism.  One more disclaimer for those that will think I'm a racist for being critical of Obama.  I do not care about the color of his skin; I care more about his ideologies and policies.
