Taxes
Obama campaigned on giving a tax break for those earning less that $250,000. During Obama’s infomercial he set the number at $200,000.
VP. Candidate Biden set the total at $150,000. The next day ardent Obama supporter and surrogate, Gov. Bill Richardson admitted the amount is $120,000 for an increase.
Obama says his expanded socialism is virtuous. He states that people wanting to keep the money they earn are "selfish". Well call me selfish, but most people go to work to provide for their families and expect to keep it. They pay their taxes and resent being forced to give it to the 40% of people who do not pay taxes. Biden calls paying taxes "patriotic", and this is a view shared by many............in Europe! There is a trend here and it does not favor the American public.
Obama wants to end the pre-tax provision on our 401K’s & IRA’s. This means we will have we will have less take-home-pay on our pay checks. This will drive down any savings incentives for Americans, leaving them vulnerable in retirement or making retirement impossible.
Obama wants to make the corporations pay more taxes. This sounds good to most Americans. Until we look at the consequences of this poor judgement. Corporations do not pay their taxes. People buying their goods & services will.
American’s will pay for it just the same as if this tax increase was placed directly on each of us. We will have to pay it with higher prices for groceries, gas, clothing, utilities, etc. That $1,000 check Obama is promising will not offset these price increases.
When prices rise we have inflation. The Federal Reserve will raise the interest rates to slow the resulting inflation. Companies will lay off workers or leave the country. That will raise our unemployment.
So we will have high inflation. High unemployment. High interest rates.
This is not a recipe for economic recovery. It is a second term for Jimmy Carter.
National Security
The Democrats and Obama want to slash our military budget by 25%. They are not going to apply these savings to the deficit. They are going to spend it on expanded socialist programs.
The scope of his planned defense cuts, combined with his angry tone, is breathtaking. He sounds as if the military is the enemy, not the bad guys it's fighting.
"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.
"I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.
"Third, I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."
On the chopping block: the F-22 Raptor, the V-22 Osprey, the Virginia-class sub, the DDG-1,000 destroyer and the Army's Future Combat System.
Cutting allegedly "unproven" missile defense systems is music to Kim Jong Il's and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's ears, let alone all the PLA generals wishing our destruction.
Proposing "deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal" amounts to unilateral disarmament, and it's suicidal given China's and now Russia's aggressive military buildup.
This makes about as much sense as taking all weapons away from your local police department and expecting the bad guys to no longer do bad things.
“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?” Clinton “red phone” ad, February 2008.
I believe that Obama and the Democrats are either dangerously naive or are relying
on the 'good will' of those who have the stated purpose to annihilate the US and our allies. Do Americans want to wake up and find ourselves ‘nuclear free’, while Russia, China, N. Korea and Iran build up their nuclear arsenals? It is blind naivety or inexperience that leads to his poor judgement. Obama’s judgement does pose a danger to our survival.
Character & Judgement
Many Americans still value character and judgement. Obama lacks the experience that would have resulted in the needed judgement. We only need to take a glimpse of the people Obama has surrounded himself with over the years, and his behavior.
Questionable ‘Friends’
Obama had communist Frank Davis as a mentor during his formative years. Mr. Davis plied Obama with drugs and alcohol, while infusing the communist ideology into Obama.
Obama served on the Woods Fund and Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Obama used these organizations to direct monies to help fund the radical educational ideals of Domestic Terrorist, Bill Ayers. In return, Ayers held a function in his home to launch the first campaign of Obama.
Once in the Illinois State Senate, Obama directed funds to his friend Tony Rezko. Rezko was a slumlord that was given millions of Illinois tax dollars to maintain the slums within Obamas state senate district.
Rezko failed to deliver and most of the buildings fell into such disrepair that the Federal government had to step in and raze the buildings.
Rezko did manage to give over $150,000 to Obama campaigns. For many observers it was simple ‘money laundering’. Qui Pro Quo.
While in the State Senate, Obama voted “present” over 100 times, not wanting to take a position. That is not leadership.
Obama did vote “no” to legislation that would have required medical treatment for children who survived ‘late-term abortions’. Obama felt it would undermine Roe v. Wade.
Obama’s belief in Black Liberation Theology
Obama spent 20+ years sitting in the pews of the racist Trinity Church of Christ. We have all seen Rev. Wright’s racial diatribes on television. This is a church that follows the tenants of ‘Black Liberation Theology’.
Black Liberation Theology, as N. American founder James Cone describes it:
“Either God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him”, Cone maintains:
”Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love. In the black liberation theology taught by Wright, Cone and Hopkins, Jesus Christ is not for all men, but only for the oppressed:
In the New Testament, Jesus is not for all, but for the oppressed, the poor and unwanted of society, and against oppressors ... Either God is for black people in their fight for liberation and against the white oppressors, or he is not” [Cone].
Another professor, actively teaching this theology in Trinity Church of Christ’s outreach program is Dr. Dwight Hopkins. He also has written extensively about this racist theology.
Obama chose to attend this church and only quit this past spring when the media called him out on its teachings. Obama quit for political expediency not a change of heart. Oprah Winfrey used to attend, but quit long ago when it became obvious to her what was the beliefs of this church.
Hillary Clinton speaking on Obama’s personal relationship with Rev. Wright:
“He would not have been my pastor. You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend.” — Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, March 25, 2008.

Driver Licenses For Illegals
Obama has stated the he favors giving Drivers Licenses to Illegal Aliens. He knows they can register to vote when getting their license. Obama is willing to cast our country's safety aside for electoral gain. He believes additional voters are worth the risk of American lives. Obama's lack of experience is the only plausible reason that could lead to such fallible judgement.
“I think that it is the right idea,” Obama declared.
Socialism
Winning at any cost is one of Obama’s core beliefs. He does not welcome compromise as demonstrated by his voting record. Or by his campaigns reactions to questions that are not part of his neatly choreographed script.
“Joe the plumber” was in his own yard when Obama came upon Joe during a campaign stop in Toledo, Ohio’s suburbs. Joe commented that he thought Obama’s tax plans would “punish” small businesses with an unfair tax burden. Obama stated his expanded socialism belief that he did not want to punish, but that is better to “spread the wealth”.
Well as we all know the media is in the tank for the Obama campaign and they set out to destroy ‘Joe’ for exposing Obama for what he is: a Socialist. Socialism, as never before seen in America.
Obama does not just want to redistribute our wealth here in America. Being a believer in globalization, Obama wants to even out the global playing field worldwide. Americans will largely bear the economic burden of this redistribution.
Obama has sponsored the ‘Global Poverty Act’. It is in conjunction with the United Nations ‘Millennium Project’. It has the lofty goal of eradicating poverty worldwide by 2015. Many critics have suggested it will require a ‘global tax’ payable to the UN. Many of its supporters will argue it commits no funding and will only cost $1 million to implement. Their wording is laughable. They are careful to talk only about “implementing”, but carefully omit any mention of the needed “funding”.
Here is a link where you can learn more about this legislation setting America on the path to participation in “One World” government. http://www.elliscountypress.com/news/132/ARTICLE/1756/2008-05-05.html
ACORN
After college Obama was brought into the Chicago chapter of ACORN. At ACORN Obama trained the leadership team on ‘tactics’. Later he was brought in as an attorney to help them sue banks. The goal was to force banks to make loans to people who had questionable credit.
Each election cycle ACORN gets called out for their questionable voter registration tactics. 2008 is not the first time they have been in trouble for this. It is the first time we have heard much about it in the media.
ACORN is being investigated in over a dozen states for violating voter registration laws. In Seattle ACORN turned in over 1,800 new registrations. Upon investigation, workers admitted to making up registrations at Seattle’s downtown library. Of the 1,800, only ‘6’ were found to be legitimate.
In Las Vegas, ACORN’s offices were raided by the FBI after they registered the names of the Dallas Cowboys players. In Ohio they registered one guy 72 times. When questioned he said he was just “trying to help”!!
Obama’s campaign donated $832,000 to ACORN’s voter registration drive. Not wanting the media to discover this, the campaign did not include it in their filed report as required by law. When questioned about it, the campaign blamed the omission on a ‘clerical error’.
The terrible consequences of an Obama administration are overwhelming. We will not recognize our country after Obama finishes with it. His brand of ‘change’ is not for the better!! And ‘Hope’ is not a ‘plan’!!
