The political and financial events that we are now witnessing suggest that the world will be a very different place in 2009.

The 2009 budget deficit could soon be close to $2 trillion which is 12.5 percent of GDP (gross domestic product) which is double the record 6 percent that was set in 1983. Just two weeks ago budget analysts said that measures now being implemented might push the deficit to as much as $1.5 trillion!

In spite of impending U.S. elections Obama still remains somewhat of an unknown quantity and quality. He has almost no record in the Senate to speak of but what we do know is that he is the most predictably partisan and liberal Senator. What is known of his Chicago associates is certainly not reassuring because there are simply too many ACORNs, Ayers, Khalidis, Pflegers and Wrights in the shadows.

The public knows nothing of his record at;

Columbia University

How he got into Harvard Law School exactly

What he did as a community organizer in Chicago

Or how a person with no record of legal scholarship was about to be offered tenure at the ‘Chicago Law School’.
Viewed one by one the above may seem of little import but viewed collectively even the generalities should be enough to raise concerns within even the most avid Obama supporter.

We are now hearing of fraud amongst voter registration drives in an increasing number of States, abundant radio stations are stifling any voices critical of Obama and there are threatened lawsuits to have pro-McCain ads removed.

Younger Americans have no idea what Communism is because it was by and large not taught for decades and when some professors did teach it they were mostly shunned by their peers.

Liberals themselves are against communism but they are also against any criticism of it.

The result is that a large number of the American populace therefore sees no danger in electing someone to the Presidency who if not a ‘communist’ is definitely an extreme left wing radical.

“American” capitalism has lost all respect and America has lost most of it global influence and most likely forever.

If Obama is elected I can but wonder if America’s new friends will be people like Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and of course Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The phrase that just came into my head was, ‘forgive them Lord for they know not what they do”.

1) Obama says he will give 95% of American working families a tax cut even though 40% of Americans today don’t pay income taxes! How will this seemingly impossible trick be performed? They’ll be a “refundable tax credit” which means that the federal government will take money from those who do pay taxes and give it to those who don’t.

2) Mr. Obama will kick-start the economy by raising taxes on the very businesses that are perhaps being hardest hit by the present financial crisis. The top 1% of taxpayers are the small-business owners that are also the nation’s biggest employers and they already pay some of the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world.

3) Mr. Obama says he will re-regulate the economy with no ill effects whatsoever which is a line that we’ve heard in different forms for decades. How will this trick be performed? No problem, the government will simply clamp down on innovation and risk-taking using new all-encompassing rules.
4) Obama will offer the public a “voluntary government health plan” that will free us from private enterprise and eliminate all other choices, and if you don’t see how this differs from our failing Medicare program then it seems that you’re simply not understanding the ‘details’.

5) Mr. Obama will uphold America’s “moral obligation to prevent genocide” by disowning Iraq; convince Iranian leaders to abandon their nuclear ambitions; fix the problems in Afghanistan without using a ‘surge’ even though it did prove effective in Iraq. All of which raises the question, “Why didn’t someone else think of this stuff?”.

6) Mr. Obama will spend billions transforming our energy economy, provide all necessary financial assistance to former Soviet satellites, boost infrastructure, increase education spending and provide job training assistance without and all without raising the deficit!

I think his plans are fantastic and if you believe he can make them happen then you should vote for him and so should every other patriotic American.
