Mr. Obama -- you're not King, and we're not your people

 Obama says he will create jobs.

The link above is to an article regarding Obama's Asian trip. This one quote tells it all --

"Above all, I spoke with leaders in every nation I visited about what we can do to sustain this economic recovery and bring back jobs and prosperity for our people," he said.

This is the way Rulers think -- we are their people. The Rulers got together and talked about how they can manipulate the economy to bring back jobs and prosperity as if they have that power, and as if we are their people. This is quibbling over words -- it reflects a paternalistic mindset based on the Old Order of King and subjects. Another problem with this quote is that we are not in a recovery -- we're sinking in leaking boats on a sea of debt and unfunded entitlement promises. Just because some companies are fighting bravely against the stupidity of government and staying above water in better boats, or some were given better government boats as a favor, doesn't make this a comprehensive recovery.

The American people are individuals who once decided to establish a New Order with a government to protect their rights and to represent their interests overseas -- that's all. The American people don't need Obama and foreign leaders acting as central planners for the economy picking winners and losers with green the winning color. Our politicians have done enough damage already, and it's not the President's job to make these kinds of plans -- we'll create jobs if he'll stay out of the way, and we'll have more money to invest if he quits wasting money on statist schemes and useless foreign trips.
