The New First American

Yep, the election was last night. Of course, the Poor Man's Camp has something to say about it. It is an uncertain time for all of us in small business. We watch, we wait and we hope that a government has not been empowered to take away the rights and the duties of the small businessman.

We Poor Men remember what Mr. Obama said to "Joe the Plumber", one of us. Open a business, gross 250K (not a lot for a business with employees and overhead) and we will tax you and "spread your wealth around". Mr. Obama purports to be a learned man--does he not remember the words of Thomas Jefferson ?--

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”


Small business DOES spread the wealth around, by creating jobs.

We Poor Men also remember what Mr. Obama said in order to pander to the votes of liberal San Franciscans

"they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations"

Well, yes, Mr. Obama, we are bitter. But we are bitter at people who despise us, who mock us and what we believe. Lacking human beings to cling to, humans of honor, we cling to our guns and our God.

That said, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt , Mr. Obama. We all pander to someone for something--if you pander for votes, well we can understand what you are doing, even if we don't like or respect it.

But now that you have the votes from the people you pandered to--Will you be yourself now? Will you be a full human being who serves all the people of the US?

In the beginning, the hope of us all was that you would rise to be the embodiment of us all--blood of the Scots Irishman and African in one flesh, the servant of neither and of all.

However, your cause has been hijacked by those who state that you are the "messiah" of the black American (Thank you , Louis Farrakhan). Is that who you are , Mr, Obama , Oprah's servant, Farrakhan's messiah?

Is there nothing left of you to serve all the American people, not just a minority special interest group?

This is what we look for, this is what we wait and watch for. That you will rise up beyond being the token lackey of certain ethnic groups and political correctness liberals. That you will call upon the warrior within you and rise beyond the people who hijacked your campaign in their service. That you will say, "I am for all the people, not just the blacks, not just the armchair academics. "

Will you do that, Mr. Obama ?

CAN you do that?

The Poor Men need you down here at the camp.

There is work to do.
