It's easy to have doubts

In an article published on Yahoo this week President Obama is once again criticized about his decisions involving the US economy.  Congress feels that the 5 year deficit is finally coming to an end.  The Federal Reserve is no longer going to pump any more money into the economy.  America's GDP is on a rise and annual budget deficits are decreasing.  Things look good, yet many people in Washington are pointing fingers at who to blame for the original deficit.  The Democrats who control the White House and the senate, and the Republicans who control the senate will fight over who will control Congress for the remainder of Obama's term.  This could greatly change the decisions made in the White House.

"Cynicism" refers to a degree of negative affect that the government and its statement is not generating outputs according for individual expectations.  The government had a large hole to dig itself out of after the Bust Administration left the White House.  During that time Obama has raised taxes and fought a war across the world.  Regardless of the good the Obama ministration has done, his approval has decreased and people continue to doubt him.

It is easy to disapprove of the decisions made by the President because there will always be people who have that same mentality.  It is easier to by cynical than is it to be accepting.

  1. Yes, cynicism is something that seems to much easier for all of us. We'll talk Wednesday about whether that's always a bad thing. Nice work!
