I'm having a difficult time distinguishing between the reality show starring Donald Trump called "The Apprentice" and reality with an apprentice in the White House named Barack Obama.  Both have their fans that love to watch them to see what will happen next, both are the top man in charge in their individual show, and both are able to fire people.  There is one minute difference, however, one that Obama doesn't seem to mind or care about, and that is Trump can fire people because it is both a TV show and a private entity in which people desire to work.  On the other hand, Obama sees it fit to fire someone from a private company as the leader of, at one point, the free world.

Now that the line has been crossed, shouldn't every private citizen that is employed in the private sector be fearful that perhaps Obama will fire them next?  Just imagine, Jimmy who works at a coal plant could be fired because Obama deems him not "green" enough because of how he does his job.  Dr. Smith could be fired because he might want to be paid by either the individual patient or their insurance company directly, not the government-run health programs.  Suzy that manages a McDonald's could be fired because she is making children fat.  Tim Geithner could be fired for not paying his taxes.  Wait, that one is implausible.  The point is that if Obama sees it fit that he fires the CEO of GM, what will stop him from firing anyone else he sees fit?  Maybe Ron Gettelfinger, the current chief president of the UAW, should have been fired.  It's the UAW's fault for running GM into the ground in the first place.  If Obama oversteps the line again and fires someone, I pick him.  Maybe we can all vote on it, American Idol style, on who to fire next.

Which brings me to my next point.  I don't know if the firing of GM's CEO, Rick Wagoner, was a deal of sorts that guaranteed GM more of our tax dollars if he left.  Regardless the reason behind it, PLEASE STOP GIVING GM AND CHRYSLER MORE OF OUR MONEY!  They have already gotten much more than enough.  Stop wasting our tax dollars on these businesses that are so far into the grave that four feet of dirt would have to be shoveled off of them to even discover their rotting corpses.  If we want to support them we would go buy their cars.  Give us every penny of our tax dollars back that was sent to these failures and maybe we can then consider buying something from them.  That should be the only way, though, that they receive a cent from any of us, by the willing transaction at a GM or Chrysler dealer.  This government's socialist idea of wealth redistribution obviously isn't working and it won't work in the future.  Let them fail, let them go bankrupt, let them figure it out like every other company would have to do.

I am getting awfully fed up with the enormous waste of my tax dollars, even though Obama has only been the apprentice for three months or so. Now not only do I have to watch tax dollars be wasted like the water from sprinklers in the middle of a rainstorm, I have to be concerned about perhaps being fired by the government.  This is America?  What gives them the right to remove a private individual from their job?  Absolutely outrageous!  This is getting so old and I've about had enough with this recklessness and waste.   I'm getting tired of the abuse of power and socialization of America.  Let GM's CEO quit on his own, or be fired by the company.  Let GM and Chrysler figure out survival on their own.  And give me my tax dollars back!

Why did we elect an apprentice when we were suppose to elect a president?
