“Obama: is America ready for this dangerous leftwinger?”

From the London Times

“Obama: is America ready for this dangerous leftwinger?”

Secondly, and more importantly, I suspect it [Michelle Obama’s “pride” comment] reveals much about what the Obama family really thinks about the kind of nation that America is. Mrs Obama is surely not alone in thinking not very much about what America has been or done in the past quarter century or more. In fact, it is a trope of the left wing of the Democratic party [sic] that America has been a pretty wretched sort of place.

There is a caste of left-wing Americans who wish essentially and in all honesty that their country was much more like France. [Remember John Kerry?] They wish it had much higher levels of taxation and government intervention, that it had much higher levels of welfare, that it did not have such a “militaristic” approach to foreign policy. Above all, that its national goals were dictated, not by the dreadful halfwits who inhabit godforsaken places like Kansas and Mississippi, but by the counsels of the United Nations.

[Read the rest of the article and see if you agree that Obama's "dangerous."]

"Obama’s Big-Government Vision" Excerpt

Obama unveiled much of his economic strategy in Wisconsin this week: He wants to spend $150 billion on a green-energy plan. He wants to establish an infrastructure investment bank to the tune of $60 billion. He wants to expand health insurance by roughly $65 billion. He wants to “reopen” trade deals, which is another way of saying he wants to raise the barriers to free trade. He intends to regulate the profits for drug companies, health insurers, and energy firms. He wants to establish a mortgage-interest tax credit. He wants to double the number of workers receiving the earned-income tax credit (EITC) and triple the EITC benefit for minimum-wage workers.

The Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion.

Obama would like voters to believe that he’s the second coming of JFK. But with his unbelievable spending and new-government-agency proposals he’s looking more and more like Jimmy Carter.

"While your laundry list of wonderful new society wealth redistribution is very impressive, it is very telling that one option was NOT to lower taxes instead of increaseing non-defense spending."

Uh, RetArmyMalkins? You are mistaken if you think taxes were raised. Taxes weren't raised to pay for Bush's elective war. Bush broke with tradition and chose not to raise taxes to pay for his war, unlike every other president in our country's history who was faced with an armed conflict. He chose to stick the bill on our kids and grandkids. Your little Eagle Scout will be paying for your beloved leader's chest-thumpin' Iraq adventure for most of his life.

Consider what must be

Consider the costs...

* $275 million per day
* $4,100 per household
* Almost 4,000 U.S. soldiers killed and more than 60,000 wounded
* 700,000 Iraqis killed and 4 million refugees

On a country that was not involved with Osama, but has 20% of the world's remaining oil reserves.

Manipulated by this government and it's bogus TERROR alerts.

Vote McCain and let's keep the ball rolling ! 8 more years of War !
