Chicago Republicans

Sincerely, it was a difficult decision to choose between watching Obama's speech and Cristiano Ronaldo play soccer.

Ultimately, I prefer to watch soccer for Ronaldo always gets results, while Obama seems to think that speeches present a substitute for action.

No more speeches! Actions speak louder than words. Obama will have plenty of time to give speeches when his presidency is over. That is a pretty lucrative business and he can also get plenty of advice from Clinton in the "future proche"! Right now his job is to solve problems, not give speeches. Anyone can read off a teleprompter. But not everyone can be a problem solver and act decisively in times of crisis.

In the face of one of the worst environmental disasters in US history the president choose to advance   the "cap & trade” agenda, instead of addressing the real issue of capping the well.

Energy is the heart and soul of our economy. It cannot be constricted by any means. Constricting energy is equivalent to shrinking the economy. Cap & trade is a malicious act that will have a negative impact on US economy while imposing limited restriction on countries like China & India. In a nut shell it is a massive transfer of wealth towards the third world. In fact the commies decided to go green when going red totally failed in order to destroy capitalism. Going green to the extreme presents an economic insurgency against capitalism as reflected by the “cap & trade"...

Disguised under the mantra of "let's save the planet" lies a political agenda that seeks to deprive capitalism of its engine: "energy"! That is why is imperative for America to conduct a policy of energy independence by encompassing and committing all our natural resources to sustain the growth of our economy. We are moving forward unrestrictedly. It is 2010 and we are moving forward toward unlimited and unrestricted aspiration towards creating magnificent lives for Americans. Meanwhile, Obama's lack of action is counterproductive, his speeches ineffective and non inspirational.  A great leader is a problem solver, not a speech maker.

The oil crisis calls for immediate action and re examination of this administration modus operandi. Moreover, the President should seriously examine his cabinet and the nature of advice he is getting. The dismissal of Salazar will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem is exhibiting some real leadership for a change. After all like Newton the great physicist, (who once said that I have gotten so far because I am standing on the shoulder of giants) you are standing on the shoulders of giants Mr. President.
Your predecessors like George Washington have committed their lives, honor and immeasurable personal wealth, yes wealth to the American cause. Washington's fortune at that time was estimated at around $500,000. So, he had a great deal to lose by defying the British. But that did not matter for he believed in less taxation and more representation. Most importantly he believed in the magnificent potential of America as a country with an exceptional mission where the government respects and protects the sacred individual liberties of its citizens.

How much of your own money have you committed to the American cause?  

Perhaps committing at least your time and attention will suffice!

Mr. President, you are the leader-- not BP .  So, ACTION!
