Doctors of the World UNITE!

This post is a departure from the usual railing against His Highness, the infallible Barack Hussein Obama. Instead, today I will be discussing the idea of national Healthcare system, and what I see as the future of America, should it be enacted via the Federal Government (Obama).

First, a universal Healthcare system is similar to that of Europe. One where doctors, surgeons and veterinarians are all employees of the Federal Government instead of being in business for themselves. What does this do, you ask? Well, the 'bright' side of this is that EVERYONE is covered for Healthcare, and the Government, not you, pays the bill. Now, fellow conservatives, I know you think I miss represented National Healthcare there, but I didn't want to spoil the surprise for those who don't yet know.

It sounds great right? Well, if you think so, you unfortunately fall into a large group of people mislead by the media and liberal politicians. Let me dispel some of the rumors.

First Rumor: I don't have to pay for Healthcare anymore, the Government pays for my doctor.
REALITY
-the government does not pay the bill. Just like businesses don't pay taxes, the government passes the expenses to the consumer, meaning you and me. They do this by...increasing taxes, which we all know means the economy suffers (More Taxes = Worse Economy- increased unemployment, decreased productivity, decreased consumer purchasing etc.). The point is, you still pay for Healthcare...only now, they call it paying Taxes...and instead of just paying you for, you pay for the 80 year old smoker next door too. THATS the point.

Second Rumor: More people in the country are able to be seen by doctors if they don't have to pay for it, especially the poor.
REALITY-
It is actually more likely that less people will be seen. Think of it this way. Imagine a Jaguar car Dealership all of a sudden says, 'We're giving away free cars today,' no doubt they will be stormed by people who need a car and are too poor to buy one. But they will also be stormed by everyone else, and eventually, they're going to RUN OUT OF CARS. In the case of Doctors, this means they will simply run out of time. They can't see everyone. Everyone will rush to them as soon as they cough or sneeze, and doctors waiting rooms will be packed to overflowing within the first day. Why not? You don't have to pay for it. What does this lead to? It leads to waiting lists, and long lines (Europe). If you have the flu, and you have to wait for a month to see the doctor, because someone with the sniffles or a scraped up knee is ahead of you, you're either going to be healthy again before its your turn, or you'll just be dead.
Here's the point: What Americans really want is CHEAPER Healthcare, not free Healthcare. Does it cost too much to get a stitch put on your arm? Sure. But does that mean we have to run out and tell the doctor, now you have to do it pro-bono, and the Government will mail you the check?

Now, it's time for my Nostradamus moment. I will predict the future should we adopt a National Healthcare system the way Barack Obama wants (I will simultaneously explain why Liberals don't think things through, watch!).

Ok, let's say that tomorrow the Federal Government implements 'Operation Long Lines' (National Healthcare). This means that the Doctor you went to is now a Federal Employee. Now, in order to ensure that the Government doesn't indeed have to Tax you to Death, they give Doctors a salary instead of paying them per patient (I am assuming-and hoping, someone realizes that the government can't pay for each customer one by one nation wide). So, lets take the average Government Salary, say $65,000 a year. Ok, so now your doctor has taken a pay cut of approximately $200,000 at least (this is an example, calm down, it could be and would be more). So, this means that your Doctor has now gone to school for ten years, has been broke for ten years, and is around $150,000 in debt. This also means that your Doctor will NEVER get out of debt. Which means, your doctor will probably not be in a good mood the day after Obama wins. So, I ask you, what incentive is there for the Doctor to work hard or be good at his job? Clue: There isn't any. He gets the same check whether he cures Cancer or if he chops the wrong leg off.

This also means that your doctor gets to retire much earlier. The Government kicks you out at 57-60 years old, and you get a comfy pension too. This takes and will take its toll on younger doctors as they don't have very seasoned doctors who are a little older but who have seen it all.

That next generation of Doctors is going to be a seriously flawed group of individuals. They would have to be absolutely dense (not the kind of doctor I want cutting me open) to want to be a Federal Doctor. Who would go to school for ten years and accumulate $150,000 of debt of which you could never climb out, just to be a doctor? A fool! I know I wouldn't. Doctors will no longer be the cream of the crop, they will be the exact opposite. They will be the coddled ones, who struggled through college that want a cushy, no hassle job. (Thats what it will be if Being a Doctor becomes a Federal Program...name one that isn't. And don't you dare say Social Security) Doctors are paid well, and are rich BECAUSE they worked so hard, because they have talent, because they studied and can do something difficult. Kobe Bryant makes millions because he's better at Basketball than I am- so too Doctors.
Whats worse, is that so far I have ignored the fact that the number of people WANTING to be doctors will diminish drastically. Which, if you were paying attention above will lead to EVEN LONGER LINES!! Yay!!!
Here's the point: Less Doctors--Less Good Doctors, will lead to more mistakes, which means the appointment takes even LONGER and Less doctors also mean more people have to go to what doctors there are, which in turn means you and I have to wait longer to see our crappy doctor.

I can't wait for Free Healthcare. It's gunna be big. (Any and all puns intended)




As an aside, I hope the Doctors of America don't let this happen. There are several things they can do initially to push back at the Federal Government at least until Barack and his cronies make more and more illegal (hooray Big Brother).

One of the things they can do it Unionize.. BOOOO! Don't do that.

Another thing they can do is continue to charge people. They can pocket the check the government gives them and treat a few people that way, and basically treat people who want to pay more. Treat those people better, faster, and prescribe better drugs for them. FORCE a market economy on the Medical field by saying. I guess I'll treat those who don't want to pay me. But if you want to pay a little more, you can get the Deluxe Treatment which comes with me actually caring about you and me doing a good job.
This idea will be quickly squashed by the Socialist Party (Liberals) but it might just take long enough to show Americans the old way was not so bad after all.

No Bump for the "I'm the President" tour

Barack Hussein Obama had a fun little trip to Europe. Don't we all wish we could use federal money to tour the world for no good reason other than I feel like it? I know I do. Barack Obama did exatly that. He toured the Middle East and Europe, which did little for his campaign according to the polls, which show absolutely no improvement in his numbers, and if anything, he LOST ground. America tends not to like a candidate who gets in front of 200,000 Germans that are screaming and cheering. History has shown thats not a good plan.

Obama's trip to the Mid East showed AMERICA that the Israeli's dont really trust a guy with the middle name Hussein, one who has shown a curious flexibility concerning Israeli security depending on who he was talking to at the time. It also showed that the Islamic Middle East, especially Iran is in LOVE with Obama. They couldn't be happier if he won.

As far as the Europe part of the trip went, Barack stopped off in Germany and France, two countries that recently elected Pro-American, Pro-Bush Presidents. Once again, this may not have been the best plan. John Kerry tried this same tactic four years ago, and that got him all the way to second place. We can only hope this trip incures the same result.

It is in the opinion of this commentator that, Obama's lack of a 'points' increase is in no small part due to the fact that he BLEW OFF MEETING WITH INJURED AMERICAN TROOPS IN ORDER TO WORK OUT. Now, I know that sounds like I am embellishing. I am not. Barack Obama did not meet with our troops because he wanted to exercise before his big speech to 200,000 screaming Germans (who incidentally can't vote for him).

He does this, then has the gall to ask why Americans are not screaming like wild Germans to vote for him? Please excuse me if I am not impressed by his so called 'Patriotism'. I think he could have spared half an hour to shake the hands of injured soldiers who are coincidentally fighting for his ability to travel to the Mid East and Europe. Show some respect MR. SENATOR.

Motion Sick via 'Changing' direction

I am a bit dazed. Barack Obama has once again dumbfounded me. His most recent change of direction on Israel sheds some light on what kind of a man Obama is. Concerning Israel back in 2000, Barack Obama said that a unified Israel wsa important, and how it should stay. Then, in 2008 Barack and his boundless wisdom had this to say on Jerusalem. "Jerusalem will remain Israel's capital, and no one should want or expect it to be re-divided."

Ok thats one switch, and Barack Like the old Barry Sanders shifts direction smoothly.

Later that same year, not 6 months later, Barack Obama had this to say on his Israel/Jerusalem position. ""Let me be clear. . . . Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."

Ok, thats two.

Later, in this year, Barack Obama, in an interview with Press Secretary wanna-be Katie Couric, Obama once again shifted position when called out about the switch. Saying that "there was no shift in policy or backtracking in policy. We just had phrased it poorly in the speech."

Oh, ok I get it. Find out that what you said was in utter contrast to your former position, so you get to say, "I didn't mean it that way," and it just simply goes away? If an NFL RunningBack had moves like this guy, he'd have a SuperBowl Ring on his finger in no time. TOUCHDOWN! He certainly shook me out of my proverbial pads.

How can anyone like this guy? When he isnt in front of a teleprompter the eloquence and coherence fly out the window. He has great and I mean GREAT timing when delivering a cannedspeech. But this guy can not think for himself. Others clearly think for him, put words in his mouth, and he is so engrossed by his own false greatness that he is blind to the fact. He is a puppet. A puppet of Axelrod, a Puppet of Soros, and the Democrat party as a whole. He is nothing more than a suit up there that can deliver a line.

He is no great leader, no great savior, no great healer. He is nothing more than the same empty words espoused by the same type of candidate. Only this time, they found a Black guy, who cant be called down, a candidate that enchanted the Media, and slid his forked tongue into the ears of the American People. They trust him, they BELIEVE in him. But I ask you, What is that thing you Believe in him? What does he believe in? Cahnge? Hope?

How about believing in Freedom, freedom from Government, Freedom from over-taxation, Freedom from Terror, Freedom from others, Freedom of the Market Forces. Those are the thinkgs I believe in, and they just so happen to be the things I find curiously absent from His Majesty, the Great Messiah's wonderful and flowery speeches.

Quick Question: Immorality or Stupidity? Take your pick.

Barack Obama had this to say in front of the Israeli People, understandably curious of Barack Hussein Obama. (Arent we all?) "Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don't have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon."
I would not touch on this now except to note, a curious choice of words. Words, which are to this point the best thing Barack Obama has going for him, and are the source of his seemingly limitless self-agrandizement. He said in his speech, "we" and "Which is My Committee,"

They are not.

Barack Obama is not part of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, he had absolutely no part to play in that bill being passed. He was not even in the room. As a point of fact, he was campaigning. Regardless, Barack Obama, seems to think either A) Being in Israel means the American Press will cease to fact check the things that fumble out of his mouth, or B) He doesnt know the American People were watching, or C) He doesnt care, because he knows the Media will just throw that little piece of useless footage away.

Either way, Barack Obama continues to show us that he is clearly incapable of leading this nation. Furthermore, he has shown a complete lack of respect for any semblance of Moral Dignity, as he continues to fabricate his contributions to the World and to the United States. The LIES of Barack Obama are in no way based on reality. This has taken on a whole new meaning now. It is no longer a 'Gaffe' it is Barack Obama's willingness to go to whatever end to achieve his dream of being the first Black President.


Side Note: Barack Obama's excuse is priceless. the bill that passed included provisions that match legislation he introduced last year. The problem is, that doesn't explain the "we" and the "which is my committee."
COurtesy of Jim Geraghty at National Review.

Mr. John, Laugh at his Gaffes--It's a strategy called Belittling.

Barack Obama has had to make several tough decisions lately. From his position on the Surge, (al al the War in Iraq) to where to have his Fuhrer-esque speech in Germany. Barack Obama has ahad a couple of tough decisions, the most important of which, is his now, indiscernable position on the Surge/Iraq War. I speak truthfully, that I do not quite know what he is telling me (I contend that no one has ever really known), has he flip flopped on his position? Has it stayed the same? Or is he just wandering aimlessly for a deceptively cogent thought? I cant quite tell, but I will say that the latter is looking to be the most true.
I am still hoping, (no pun intended) and waiting (once again no pun intended) for Obama to say "I voted against it, before I voted for it." i.e. John Kerry. But thus far I have been dissappointed.
Barack Obama, in recent days, has resembled very closely an ostrich, his head buried deep beneath the earth, where he is safe from the sights and sounds of reality. Speaking more specifically, Barack Obama has overtly denied the incontrovertable facts on the ground in Iraq. Saying that despite the success of the Surge right now, he still would have voted against the Surge, knowing what he knows now. This is a blatantly denial of the factual information laid before him. THAT is not a quality that I look for in a President. I prefer the idea of a President willing to change his position on issues due to factual evidence in contrast to his previous position. Barack Obama has chosen not to. I fear that should Obama become President, he will deny other facts presented him, for instance, if and when Iran gets a Nuke, "They don't have aNuke, dont worry about it." Or Taxes going up and Emplyment falling, "Employmen hasnt fallen, don't worry." You laugh, but is that not possible? He has already done it with Iraq.

John McCain had an excellent quote yesterday. "I would much rather lose a Political Campaign, than lose a war. Barack Obama appears to prefer to Lose a War to win a political campaign."

That is exactly right Mr. McCain. He would. Power and the Presidency are ALL that matter to Barack Hussein Obama. He has changed his positions, not due to facts, but due to Political Pressure, he has thrown countless firends and family under the bus, because his associations with them look TERRIBLE and make him look not only naieve and foolish, but dangerous and Un-American (which he is). He wants the Presidency. 'He is seeking it, seeking it, all his thought is bent on it.' (Sauron Reference) B. Hussein does not care one iota about you or me. He will not help you or me, whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. He does not care, he does not even know what he will do when he is in office, besides and I quote "Begin to heal this Planet." God only knows how he will do that...all by himself.
As Charles Krauthammer reported, "Obama declared it a great turning point in history — “generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment” — when, among other wonders, “the rise of the oceans began to slow.” As economist Irwin Stelzer noted in his London Daily Telegraph column, “Moses made the waters recede, but he had help.” Obama apparently works alone." Krauthammer finishes with, "We are getting to know [Obama]. Redeemer of our uninvolved, uninformed lives. Lord of the seas. And more. As he said on victory night, his rise marks the moment when “our planet began to heal.” As I recall — I’m no expert on this — Jesus practiced his healing just on the sick. Obama operates on a larger canvas."

Very well made points, and good shots, ABOVE the belt, mid you. Barack Obama's high flatuten opinion of himself has gone to near insane levels. A three year Senator, without a single important piece of Legilsation to his name? And voted 130 times "Present" instead ot the traditional "Yes" or No". Thus, making his 'presence' at the vote utterly useless. Thats pushing the envelope of Petulence.


So, I have this to say to to John McCain, 'Laugh'. Barack Obama will try to attack you. It is what the Liberals do, and how they campaign. Fine. Let them, but my advice to you sir, is, laugh. There are very few things in theis world as disarming of an insult than laughter. When a reporter tells you about what Barack has said about you, or your record, simply sit there, chuckle, and shake your head. Not only will this infuriate the Liberal Media, but it will stun Obama that you are not retaliating. Thirdly, it will only further the notion of Barack Obama's childishness, that the young, petulant child is whining to his elder about being to young to understand. Do not engage Barack in the attacks, just simply..laugh, the Boy Wonder won't know what to do, he's to young to understand.

An attack against Iran would have to be done carefully.

I am no military strategist. I am a student of International Affairs, and have studied International Conflict on several occasions throughout my tenure, and while those in the Military might scoff at the strategy presented below, I challenge them to refute my idea with a better alternative.

I read an article, today, in the New York Post, by Ralph Peters. http://www.nypost.com/seven/07172008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/what_bomb_iran_really_takes_120263.htm
In it, he talks about the dangers of what an attack against Iran would do ,not only to our military, but to the Image of the U.S.A around the world, and to our fragile economy.

I contend that to attack Iran now would be difficult, and dangerous, but doable and ultimately fortuitous. Should Barack Hussein Obama become President, the likelihood of any overt military action taken against any aggressor for ANY reason would be non-existent. President Bush knows this, and if an Obama Presidency becomes more and more likely, the probability of an attack on Iran multiplies. Because, despite his sometimes bumpkin manner, President Bush is a responsible and Security oriented President. Thus, an attack against Iran before Obama would be good for two reasons. One, it would hold back an Iran nuclear plan for AT LEAST 4 years. Long enough to get an ACTUAL President worth something in the office. Second, it would be like eating diner with someone, then when finished, just getting up and leaving. It would be attacking Iran, and sticking an Obama Presidency with the check (It's almost too delicious to fathom).

The strategy of how to to it is ultimately very simple. The US Military has a bomb which essentially releases small magnetic strips into the air and they flutter down around the target site. This is more than just a nuisance, it destroys albeit temporarily all electronic technology, specifically the anti-aircraft technology like radar as well as, the water and power for the cities. These bombs, delivered by the B-2 Stealth Bomber would fly high enough, fast enough and stealthily enough to accomplish the task and be gone before the Iranian military knew what had happened.
Then, stage two commences. Destroy the Nuclear development locations yes, at least the ones we can find. As for the others, destroy the other power plants and water facilities. Remember, we are in the desert here. The productivity, and capability of the Iranian Government, without Power and Water for a month or two would be severely hampered and the Nuclear Program halted. When they build them back up...knock them back down, until they get the message.
And should they be foolish enough to shoot down one of our planes. Then we will need to remove any and all means of transportation in and out of the country, i.e airports, trains, highways, shipyards and any or all manufacturers of domestic transportation, (car and plane makers). Then, see if they still want to act like spoiled children. If so, Stage three. More on that later.

Where's the Responsibility?

I fully understand the novelty here. I understand that the slick, hip, cool Presidential Candidate is Black. I get it. But my question is, why is he the Presidential Candidate. By now, we have all heard the stories that clearly indicate that Barack Hussein Obama is unfit to Lead anything, let alone a country of people.
The real question here is why can the African-American community of this country not be more responsible. I'm sure you readers know, that there are voters out there who are simply voting for Barack Obama because he's black, when that is hardly a qualification to be President. It is no more irrelevant than a White Man, or any other race/gender. It should have nothing to do with the chosen leader of a nation. Affirmative Action should never, and I mean EVER extend to jobs, let alone positions of leadership. I am not saying that black people are not capable of doing the exact same things as any other race, I am simply saying that if you do cast your vote for Barack Obama simply because he is black, then not only have I lost any and all intellectual respect for you, I find you to be irresponsible and mentally deficient. And whats worse, I could care less if that hurt your feelings. Grow up. All you are doing is furthering the racial tensions and Racial divide in this country by over compensating for a lack of black leadership in America.
America does no OWE the black community a Black President. The Black Community owes all of America (black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc.) responsible, thoughtful, intelligent, rational, and quality leaders who have the ability, fortitude and moral fiber to BE the President of the United States. So far, that has not happened.







I am issuing a challenge to the Barack Obama supporters out there. Stop listening to Barack Obama and John McCain for a week. Instead, read ABOUT the issues, not the candidates' positions on them. Read what the issue is, and what the consequences are, without hearing the Candidates' opinions or CNN's. Then, when you feel comfortable enough to understand the issue in question, then listen to Barack and John McCain and see if you still buy what they're both selling you. If you do that, and you still like Barack, I will still disagree with you, but I will finally have some intellectual respect for you. You are no longer a sheep in the Obama flock, but a thinking, rational human being. 'Thinking' has the added bonus of making you stand out in the Obama flock, not many of them do. Congrats.

Title Track of the Obama Express

Courtesy of Michael Buble, I am granting Barack Obama a new theme song and one of my favorites. I find it to be remarkably accurate, especially considering the last few weeks of Barack Obama's blundering campaign. Ok, here goes, thanks again, Michael Buble. (With some commentary of my own, I mean, why else do you read this?

Call me irresponsible (Iraq Withdrawl Policy)
Call me unreliable (AIPAC, Jeremiah Wright, Grandma, Campaign Finance, etc...)
Throw in undependable, too (Throw any one 'Under the Bus' lately?)

Do my foolish alibis bore you? (I am kinda tired...)
Well, I'm not too clever, (Understatement)
I just adore you (I'm blushing)

So, call me unpredictable (so far,)
Tell me I'm impractical (Really? "You're impractical.")
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue (Speaks for itself, Rainbows?)

Call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you (We can all see that...)

Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Girl, I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you

Call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm so impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue

Go ahead call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you

You know it's true
Oh, baby it's true (Sad to say...I do.)

So its a cheap shot. Still, did you not sit there and say "huh..that is close to the truth,"?

Clearly, Mr. Obama, too in love with himself and the idea of living in the White House, has not given enough credence and thought to the intellect of the American People. We can see this, we can count, and we can see his Arrogance, his Naivety, and his blatant disregard of the facts as they stand before him, tall, proud, and ultimately American. America may have a shorter memory than it used to, but before long, the mistakes, the bumbles, and the inanity will begin to add up, and before you know it, the Great Orator, the Messiah Himself, will be no more than empty words floated on simpleton ideals, heard by unforgiving ears.

Not all Hugs and Kisses, or is it?

As has been reported by http://www.obama-wire.com/ and in the UK Telegraph, Bill Clinton told those close to him that Barack Hussein Obama would have to quote: 'Kiss my Ass,' in return for the former President's support.
Well, don't you just love this? As reported by Enjoying Freedom Everyday blogger Francisco says, 'The former President was notably absent during an Obama campaign moment with Hillary Clinton in Unity, NH (unity - get it?)' I was under the impression the Democrats had rallied beneath the banner of the greatest orator and unifier ever to walk this planet. How then, is the First Black President absent? And why so hostile? I thought the Democrats were coming together in Unity New Hampshire to celebrate just that, Unity. Where then was the former poster-child of the Democrat Party? You would think the former President might be there. His wife was there, the Democrat Nominee was there. But instead, Slick Willie was up to his usual tricks, complete with sexual references, saying Barack would have to 'Kiss my Ass,'.
It really is love in the Democrat Party! Everyone celebrate! The day has come, they've even broken down into fits of kissing! (Or is this Clinton's way of espousing his stance on Gay Rights?)

Reversals Of Fortune

What once was mildly amusing and startlingly foolish, has now evolved into something far worse. It is a variation of pain and fear. I hate to admit this much of myself, but I have trouble understanding how more Americans are not with me on this. I will say this plainly, and as eloquently as I can, so everyone can get this. Barack Hussein Obama is the most dangerous man in America, and presents a real and potentially deadly threat to the security of America, her people and most noticeably, her ideals. I am not overstating.
Barack Obama's arrogance and simple lust for power are now beginning to threaten my way of life. I know that sounds harsh, but can you not see it America? Barack Obama is your likely President. The 'Drive-By' media has now entranced so many of our number that he is the great Agent of Change, Hope and Free Stuff, that there are too few smart people left to combat them.

America, hear me. FREEDOM is at risk. It is on Red Alert. I know I joke around a lot, but this is critical, and serious. Freedom from others telling you what you can and cannot do, Freedom to run your own business or drive your car, Freedom to wear what you want and when. All of these things, Barack is bent on controlling. Do not buy into his sudden shift to the Center. Do not believe it for one second. Hold onto the knowledge of his voting record. Hold onto that image of the new presidential seal. Hold onto the sound of Jeremiah Wright. Do that, and we can put him in check.

Examine the man our country wants to be President. Examine him, and don't worry about looking closely. Below is a list of People Close to Obama, the next section is issues he has done a 180 on, and what I expect him to do a 360 on, and the third section is on the mistakes and Gaffes.

-People-
Jeremiah Wright- Radical Anti-American Pastor
Tony Rezko- Suspected Felon and Shady business man
Jim Johnson- Heavily involved in the mortgage crisis and Countrywide scandal, also responsible for sketchy real estate deal with Obama.
Bill Ayers- Anti-American responsible for dozens of Murders due to bombings, of both the Pentagon and police stations.
ACORN- Chicago branch of Anti-American haters who claim to help develop unfortunate areas of cities, but in fact do nothing more than a half-ass job of building housing projects that double as cess-pools.
Michelle Obama(wife)-Anti-American, said herself she hates America. Accused of calling white people 'Whitey' and who in a speech for her husband, said this is the first time in her whole entire life that she has ever been proud of America. (Because America was about to nominate an African-American)

-Issues-

Public Financing of Elections- Once for it, now against it. First time thats happened since...ahem...Watergate.
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)- Told people in Ohio and Michigan that he was going to reverse NAFTA and make America more of a protectionist state. Now that he has the nomination, he's all about NAFTA. Saying his earlier statements on NAFTA were no more than political posturing and overheated reactions. It's great!
Unconditional Talks with Dictators and Despots Around the Globe- Once said, that diplomacy was the only way to go, that he would meet with leaders around the globe, because you need to talk to your enemies, not shun them. That he would talk to them without them needing to meet any sort of preliminary requirements or conditions. When this would no doubt serve as Al Jazeera propaganda and only bolster the Radical Islamic leadership's positions on America. Now, Obama says they do have some ideas in the works for men like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. They WOULD have to do some stuff first. (Yea like sign their name before they can come into the Oval Office)
There are more issues, but these are some of the better ones.

-Gaffes-

The Presidential Seal- Obama and his cronies thought it would be a great new and inventive idea (staying with the CHANGE motif) to re-image the Presidential Seal (for more read previous post). This time, with the Obama logo and the Latin term for his campaign slogan. 'Yes We Can'.
Vetting the Vetters- His nomination of Jim Johnson(above) to be one of the vetters of his Vice President. Thats enough right there, but wait, theres more. He first said, I'm not going to vet the vetters. And vowed to keep Johnson around...less than a day later, Johnson had 'resigned'. Whoops.
Arabic Translators in Afghanistan- You get Barack away from his speech writer (David Axelrod) for one minute and look what happens. Barack made a speech the other day about needing more effort and manpower in Afghanistan and mentioned one of the critical needs there were Arabic translators. Really? Last time I checked they spoke Pashto in Afghanistan. This is the kind of thing one needs to know to be President, heck I knew it. OR you could do a thirty second Google check on it. We know Google loves you.
The Trinity United Church of Christ- Led by Jeremiah Wright, and his Anti-American rants he liked to put on film. (Check YouTube) Barack, hoping to be President of the United States, attended this church and had close relation with the man, being his spiritual leader for over 20 years. Obama said he never heard that kind of thing from him...in twenty years.
The United States of America- In a speech made a few weeks ago (away from Axelrod's teleprompter) Barack Obama spoke lovingly and wearily about how he had visited ALL 57 States. Now, I don't know if Barack is counting locales like Guam and Puerto Rico, (where he has yet to campaign so he would be lying) but the last time I checked, there were a nice even 50 States in the Union. Fifty seven states. I mean, my two year old cousin knows theres only 50. I don't care how tired you are, you're going to be a lot more tired when you're running the free world. Better head back to Pre-K.

This is the man we are on the verge of electing to lead our country. This is the kind of man. One with out character or shame. Without scruples and ethics. Who doesnt care how its done, as long as its done. And will do whatever it takes, smear whomever it takes, and say whatever it takes to be the first Black President. Because, thats all he cares about. He doesnt care about you or me. He doesnt care about helping people. He wants to be the first Black man behind the desk in the Oval Office. He eve said it himself. His first day in the office, he wont do anything. Just sit around thinking 'This is cool'. And thats a direct quote.

I'm scared America. Let's take care of this Bozo now, before he's running the country. *Shudders*
