A couple questions about Obama

First--I am not a political person. I HATE listening to people argue about how this politician is a fool, and anyone who follows them is too. Mainly because someone else will come along and say the same thing right back. Politics has so little to do with goodness and real change these days, I don't find it worth the effort trying to figure out who is being the least dishonest.

Now that that's cleared up, a couple things with what Obama is doing don't make sense to me--enough so that I don't really trust him. Here they are:

1. People complain about how much money his administration is spending. There are different arguments as to why that's okay or why it isn't, but one thing stands out. Obama has seen fit to borrow millions upon millions from the People's Republic of China. China has one of the worst human rights violations records in the WORLD. They are one of the last functioning communist nations on the planet, a governmental system that goes against almost everything our governmental system espouses. Do we REALLY want these people as our creditors? If Barack's plan doesn't work--are these the type of people we want to owe money to? How is that not as scary to everyone that hears it as it is to me?

2. There are loads of arguments for & against universal healthcare. I'm not interested in debating that. But if Obama and his fellow politicians really believe in universal healthcare, why did they include something in the bill saying that they don't have to use it, when the rest of us are required to? Doesn't that sound kinda suspicious? Would you buy a car from someone who refused to ride in it? And those who believe universal healthcare 'levels the playing field' between rich and poor--shouldn't Obama and the other politicians have to play too? Why would they be exempt? Something just doesn't seem right about that, if you ask me.

So do I really want answers to these questions? Probably not. Because those will probably take the form of negativity and name-calling if anyone besides my family and friends read this. But doesn't this stuff make you think? Sure does for me.
