October 24, 2012 **** Thank You for Re-Electing Obama**** *By* *Eileen F. Toplansky*<http://www.americanthinker.com/eileen_f_toplansky/> **** As a soldier, I want to thank you for ensuring that I will have less than adequate protection in a field of military action now that the president has reduced<http://www.heritage.org/federalbudget/national-defense-spending>military expenditures. In fact, "Aerospace Industries Association, a trade group, released a study that projected the sector would lose<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304750404577322060395888228.html>in the neighborhood of 350,000 direct and supplier jobs under [Obama's] automatic cuts." That will certainly help the already burgeoning unemployment rate.**** As a senior, I want to thank you for ensuring that as I age, I will have some faceless bureaucrat tell me that I cannot have cataract surgery or hip surgery. The Independent Payment Advisory Board, a board of 15 unelected officials, now has the power<http://blog.heritage.org/2011/08/01/could-britains-health-care-rationing-come-to-the-states/>to cut Medicare spending without congressional approval. This will result in restrictions to my access to providers, treatments, and services. Thus, my friends and I will experience what our counterparts in Great Britain<http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/cataracts-hips-knees-and-tonsils-nhs-begins-rationing-operations-2327268.html>are facing. **** As a hospital director, I want to thank you for ensuring that medical devices<http://blog.heritage.org/2012/02/14/side-effects-obamacare-tax-will-kill-jobs-strangle-medical-device-industry/>and testing equipment that used to be the bulwark of medical care in the U.S. will now be curtailed.**** As a Medicare beneficiary<http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2012/August/13/medicare-hospitals-readmissions-penalties.aspx>, I want to thank you for voting in a man who has determined that as of October 2012, anyone "returning to the hospital within 30 days of discharge will be denied treatment <http://patriotpost.us/commentary/15131/print>because the hospitals will be denied payment. Furthermore, low income patients will be particularly hard hit with this new regulation.**** As an employee of the medical device industry, I want to thank you for reducing my job since next year the industry will see a 2.3-percent excise tax<http://blog.heritage.org/2012/03/07/the-10-terrible-provisions-of-obamacare-you-may-not-have-heard-of/>applied to medical devices and as a result will pay for this tax by eliminating my job and passing the increased costs on to the consumer.**** As a Catholic<http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/25/adding-insult-to-injury-obama-admin-refuses-to-protect-religious-liberty/>, I want to especially thank you for your total lack of empathy as it concerns my religious conscience since my religious charity, hospital, and schools will be forced to pay for contraceptives including abortion-inducing drugs. For that matter, as a person of conscience with no particular religious affiliation, I want to thank you for the draconian trampling of individual conscience which used to be a hallmark of American exceptionalism.**** As a citizen, I am delighted by the new 21 additional taxes<http://prudentinvestornewsletters.blogspot.com/2012/07/obamacares-21-new-or-higher-taxes-for.html>that I will be mandated to pay as a result of the ObamaCare law. **** As an illegal<http://michellemalkin.com/2009/07/22/obamacare-for-illegal-aliens/>, I am thankful that I will now be eligible for free health care services since Obama pushed<http://www.humanevents.com/2012/06/15/obama-imposes-new-immigration-policy-congress-reacts/>opened the door for illegals to become citizens -- yet another example of "executive overreach" on an issue that should have included congressional representation.**** As a Jew, I want to thank you for making me uneasy<http://pjmedia.com/blog/obama-bad-for-the-jews/>about your support for the only democratic country in the Middle East. I was impressed by Obama's disdain<http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/bolton-israel-iran-obama/2012/03/29/id/434288>for the prime minister of Israel. **** As a jihadist<http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/03/21/obama-bypasses-congress-gives-1-5-billion-to-muslim-brotherhood>, I really want to thank you for your $1.5-billion support for the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that vows to destroy Israel, exterminate all Jews, and infiltrate the United States and conquer her from within.**** As a Coptic Christian<http://www.inquisitr.com/307894/christians-being-killed-by-islamists-in-egypt-and-nigeria-2/>, I want to thank you for never speaking out as I and thousands of other Coptic Christians are being murdered in the streets of Egypt. Odd that Obama does not speak up for those Nigerian blacks being slaughtered, either. **** As a woman, I want to thank you for your specious claim to care for us, knowing all the while that you support people who support sharia law, that most misogynistic law<http://www.meforum.org/2485/sharia-law-promote-women-rights>that countenances honor killing, and second-class citizenship for women<http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/09/sharia_degradation_of_women.html> .**** As a black man<http://spectator.org/blog/2011/03/07/obamaholder-doj-attacks-new-yo>, I want to thank you for your low view of me as you continue to pander to and expect less from me. I am capable of doing well academically and socially and do not need special dispensations to succeed. Furthermore, ObamaCare will penalize marriage<http://blog.heritage.org/2011/10/31/love-conquers-all%e2%80%a6except-obamacare/>just when the black community needs to strengthen the family structure, not weaken it.**** As a Hispanic<http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/01/10/obama_appoints_la_raza_radical_to_control_domestic_policy>man, I want to thank you for continually offending me as you consider that I am incapable of learning English and bettering myself. Instead, by supporting President Obama, you give strength to groups like La Raza who wish to destroy American initiative, the very opportunity for which I came to this country. Gracias! This is covert racism instead of overt racism.**** As a citizen, I wish to thank you because by voting Obama in for a second term, you are giving your blessing to a justice system<http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/18/pavlich-doj-using-media-matters-to-cover-up-fast-and-furious/>that is riddled with deceit and injustice. Your vote will maintain Eric Holder, the only attorney general to be found in contempt of Congress. He is the man who ignored the very public voter intimidation<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU>by the Black Panthers in 2008. **** As a mechanic with Boeing<http://thehill.com/blogs/transportation-report/aviation/246265-sc-gov-nikki-haley-cites-dropped-labor-lawsuit-against-boeing-in-rnc-speech>in South Carolina, I want to thank you for the heavy-handed tactics that will continue as Obama tells companies where they may set up shop. That surely will decrease the competitive spirit and will remind us that we no longer have the freedom to build businesses wherever we choose.**** As a farmer<http://www.redstate.com/tomjeffersonsghost/2012/08/14/president-obamas-war-on-farmers-why-he-not-paul-ryan-wants-to-prevent-them-from-doing-their-job/>, I especially want to thank you for re-electing a man who enables the EPA to engage in a water war with farmers since 2009, basically putting me out of business.**** As an environmentally concerned citizen, I want to thank you for the ongoing money pits that have raided my pocketbook but have only resulted in one failed "green<http://blog.heritage.org/2012/10/18/president-obamas-taxpayer-backed-green-energy-failures/>" economy job after another. I know that I will never see a dime of the money that Obama took from my taxes and I truly appreciate it.**** As a resident of Arizona, I particularly want to express my gratitude for voting in a man who would have the United Nations<http://www.examiner.com/article/united-nations-joins-obama-attacking-arizona>-- a group of empathetic, caring nations if ever there were one -- tell me that I must adhere to their notion of rights for mankind. Mr. Obama has nothing but contempt for my state, which is only trying to abide by federal immigration laws<http://www.ijreview.com/2012/06/8947-obama-administration-undermines-arizonas-immigration-control-efforts/> .**** As a terrorist, I want to thank you for giving President Obama yet another pass as he does nothing about securing the southern border. Why, just the other day, my jihadist brothers<http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/11/terrorists-entering-u-s-through-mexico/>, posing as Mexicans, were able to pass through the porous border and set up shop in America.**** As a diplomat<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/02/diplomats-asked-repeatedly-for-more-security-before-libya-attack-lawmakers/>, I want to thank you, because now I will feel even more insecure when I write to Obama asking for more military reinforcements as threats to my life and other diplomats' lives increase. It will be comforting to know that our messages will be ignored and that specious reasons will be offered when any one of us is sodomized and murdered.**** As a beleaguered member of the alternative media, I want to thank you because once Obama has nothing to fear during his second term, he will surely clamp down on the freedom of the press -- you remember that nasty little item that is part of the First Amendment. How do I know this -- this White House never hesitates to browbeat and actually call news media to tell them to cut a story that the White House sees as unfavorable1.**** As an intelligence officer<http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/07/feinstein_obama_white_house_behind_intelligence_leaks.html>, I want to thank you for re-electing a man who has no compunction to leak top security information that puts me and my colleagues at risk. More importantly, it gives the enemy all the ammunition it needs to see a weakened America and act accordingly.**** As a Pole, I want to thank you for voting, because I see my birthplace yet again made vulnerable. After all, one of the first things Obama did was eliminate the missile<http://blog.heritage.org/2012/08/08/polish-president-blasts-obama-on-missile-defense/>defense system, and Obama's open-microphone reassurance<http://www.examiner.com/article/open-mike-catches-obama-s-sinister-message-to-the-soviets>to Putin's henchman did little to quell my fears. **** As a student, I want to thank you for Obama's re-election because he is a role model of elegance and eloquence. He goes on the Pimp with the Limp<http://freebeacon.com/obama-and-the-pimp-with-the-limp/>show and hosts Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z, whose lyrics would make my mama cringe. If I used them, I would have my mouth washed out with soap. But hey, man, if the prez can give his blessin', it must be good, right?**** As a single woman, I want to thank you for giving Obama a second term, since he seeks to curtail my right to bear arms<http://sweetness-light.com/archive/us-may-sign-arms-un-treaty-curtailing-gun-rights>. That pesky Second Amendment really irks this man.**** As a venture capitalist, I want to express my gratitude, since I am totally incapable of making anything on my own. I don't take the financial risks; I don't gamble everything on an idea that might work or might not; I don't tinker in my garage to invent the next electronic gizmo that might prove helpful. Nah, I am a nobody in this administration, which seeks to control my every move and demean my very existence.**** As a college graduate, I want to thank you for ensuring that I will only have part-time work, if that, because of Obama's attack on the economy<http://www.aei-ideas.org/2012/10/the-sickly-stagnant-september-jobs-report/>. Does he really think that businesses are not going to adapt to his draconian edicts? They will simply not hire me -- or if they do, it will be part-time. So here I am, in the prime of my earning years, and I have already fallen behind. **** As a youngster, I want to thank you for giving Obama a second term so that I will be saddled with even more than the $17 trillion<http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obamas-budget-add-44-trillion-debt-next-four-years_650614.html>of debt I have already sustained through no fault of my own. I certainly don't want to have the good life that my parents worked so hard to achieve. I don't want to buy my own house or take vacations.**** As a plumber, I want to thank you for vindicating Joe<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baIFocVnJpc>, who early on said that Obama's vision was a socialist one. **** As an oil man, I want to thank you for re-electing a man who has put a moratorium<http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704269204575270031411598538.html>on oil production. This will surely make us energy-dependent on other countries, even though we have enough oil for a hundred years if we could only drill. **** There is so much to be grateful for when you re-elect Obama. To those who cannot see through the unending prevarications and outright lies, I do not understand your denial of the evidence that is there for all to see. To those who innocently believe that Obama can be the messiah, I say you have been hoodwinked<http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/05/o_such_sad_deception.html>. **** If you think that you will be safe from the intrusions and totalitarian disposition of this administration, think again. Repeatedly, there have been warnings, and it behooves you to take them seriously. This is the precipice, and there will be no turning back if Barack Hussein Obama gets a second term.**** *Eileen can be reached at [email protected].***** *Page Printed from: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2012/10/thank_you_for_re-electing_obama.html * at October 24, 2012 - 06:13:09 PM CDT**** -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
