I'll Run Regardless of the Fact That I'm Jewish, an Elitist New Yorker and Have Not Been Bought By Corporate Overlords

Voting for Obama in 2008 was single-handedly the most idiotic waste of a vote I ever casted. Sure the old man and his "ruh-tard" sidekick was worse but after two years of this guy I do hope some progressive centrist (Democrat or perhaps the GOP could resurrect my two favorite presidents-Theodore Roosevelt or Dwight Eisenhower) interested in saving whatever is left of the middle class, runs against this top-notch, elitist sham of a leader. Otherwise, the wealthiest 15% will own 100% of the wealth (85% isn't enough). Maybe Russ Feingold or Hillary Clinton (a centrist GOP candidate-Mitt Romney, is a Mormon, which may be worse than me being a Jew) runs and puts his corporate loving backside on an Air Force One trip back to Chicago. Obama is Herbert Hoover, Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter rolled into a lying sack of crap and here's why.

Obama hates teachers, its obvious. He's hired Arne Duncan (who ruined the Chicago schools) to destroy public education through his Race for the Top. However, the AFT and NEA fawned when he promised Randi "Vichy France" Weingarten a "seat at the table". I hope the GOP keeps their promise and makes President Accountability and Transparency a one and done President. The GOP could cave since they hate teacher's unions but their leader Mitch McConnell (R/KY) has made it crystal clear that he wants Obama to be a one term President. Obama applauded the firings of the Rhode Island teachers and supports the Children Last reforms of our Lord Mayor For Life.

Obama's health care plan also affects my life. Rather than protecting public sector unions, Obama, in his infinite wisdom has decided that in 2014, employer-sponsored health care programs will have a 40% excise tax added to their health care plans. I know as a teacher, I do not make a lot, but in 1996, when I started, my co-payments were free and the hospital payment was $100. Today, these payments are now $15 and $300. Many of the top specialists in NYC do not take my plan and God forbid something detrimental should happen, I'm bankrupt. I don't think with a divided Congress this will change but as a breadwinner, I sure as hell hope someone runs who appreciates what the public sector does and not blame us for everything, much like Lord Mayor, Governor-elect Cuomo, Chris "William Howard Taft" Christie do everyday that they are in office.

Maybe he has a positive social agenda but doubling down in Afghanistan will cost the United States close to a half-trillion dollars in 2014. I know Presidents love to keep the corporate welfare system in place for the Department of Defense ($896 million in spending) but honestly will a superior military find bin Laden, uh, no. As someone who possesses a MA in history, Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. Has anyone seen the Soviet Union? Next year, we will be in Afghanistan longer than they have but maybe people will see the forest for the trees and scratch their heads saying, "WTF, Obama?"

I love my job but allowing Obama another four years spells the end of the middle class for good. The same middle class that built this country will be a thing of the past, like Betamax, tape decks, the Walkman, the Atari 2600 and my washboard abs.

I thought it was change I could believe in but to me Obama is more of the same b.s. as Bush, Clinton and everyone who has occupied the White House since 1980.

Obama must go....NOW!!!
