He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income
redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would
like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION,
and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't
care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an
early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle
growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is
his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000
people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through
the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of
services, like in Canada. God forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types.
No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going
to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This
obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather
he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution.
He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch
what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States,
but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying
to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees
moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and
England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist
nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has
at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised
our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain)
will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to
blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor
in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a
narcissist.
8 Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong.
Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be
another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty &
Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future
of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is
sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on
facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need
to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal
responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous.
We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could
lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent
themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi
a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come
due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the
stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies,
unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4
above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed,
fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was
grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain,
and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem
would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's
between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy.
I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington
and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to
Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal
resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can
reclaim our country, before it's far too late.
