B. Hussein Obama Fact Sheet - Do you want this man as a leader?
In his book, he admits to being a reformed drug abuser, having used alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine heavily during his teenage years to "push questions of who I was out of my mind".
He has little overall political experience, zero foreign political experience. This lack of qualification is extremely dangerous, especially at a time of war.
If you change one letter in his name, it contains the exact names of two of the most powerful figureheads of islamic terrorism. Not surprising, as his father is muslim something from which he has attempted to distance himself. Being muslim, of course, does not make someone a terrorist, but given that the US is at war with militant muslims, you have to question why he is trying to bury his background rather than embracing it and openly discussing islam and its implications.
He defends the New Deal social welfare policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, associating Republican proposals to establish private accounts for Social Security with social Darwinism.
Obama told the health care advocacy group Families USA: "I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country. Universal health care is literally government-run socialist-style health care inefficient and expensive. See Canada for a good example of how it works.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, he announced an $18 billion plan for investments in early childhood education, math and science education, and expanded summer learning opportunities. In other words, a decision for mass expansion of government-run education that has failed miserably despite having a much higher cost per student than most superior privately-run education.
He stated, Businesses dont own the sky, the public does, and if we want them to stop polluting it, we have to put a price on all pollution." He proposed a cap and trade auction system to restrict carbon emissions and a 10 year program of investments in new energy sources to reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil. In other words, he wants to further tax and regulate businesses, rather than privatize the environment to let the market solve pollution problems.
As we head towards recession, his plan calls for massive increases in income, corporate, and capital gains taxes more so than any other candidate. This is economic suicide. Americas economic downturn is largely caused by corporate taxes that are higher than in other countries (most of whom learned their lesson and have been lowering their rates to beat us). Additionally, his tax hikes are targeted to cripple those who produce jobs and to redistribute income even more unfairly than it is already
he isn't content with those who make twice as much paying four times as much - he wants them to pay huge multiples.
He said, I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda
I'm opposed to dumb wars. In other words, he believes the US should only go to war when other countries want us to. He doesnt want to see us fighting the militant muslims because they might become upset and try to murder even more people.
Obama took an HIV test and wants to spend a disproportionate amount of funds on AIDS research despite the fact that much more widespread diseases such as cancer and heart attacks affect the populous and cannot be controlled through behavior, as AIDS transmission can.
Though it is rarely talked about, a huge percentage of his support are kids who are lured by his simplistic message of change. Historically, this sort of empty promise has served to lure uneducated and idealist youth. Also, many of his supporters are blacks voting for him solely because of his color not because they understand nor support his positions and policies. Voting for someone solely because of their race is, by definition, racist (though many doing so will deny this and assert they actually do understand the details behind how he will implement his policies). This is reminiscent of those who proclaimed that OJ was innocent despite being found guilty and a preponderance of DNA and other evidence against him.
He moved from a Hyde Park, Chicago condominium to their current $1.6-million house in neighboring Kenwood. The house purchase and subsequent acquisition of an adjoining strip of land drew media scrutiny in November 2006 and in January 2008 because of financial links with controversial Illinois businessman Tony Rezko. This is the tip of the iceberg regarding Obamas financial improprieties. He has more dirty money and special interests behind him than any candidate in decades.
Obama is a classic empty idealist
he is a preacher and emotional activist, not a leader with actual ideas that are realistic and beneficial. Listen very carefully to his speeches
they are full drivel akin to We will change the world, we want everyone to have everything they desire and we will put an end to all that is bad
unite and fight!, but devoid of I will fight to improve economic growth by introducing a plan to XYZ by lowering ABC and changing the DEF. He appeals to emotion, not reason, which is why many of his supporters tend to be young or uneducated or both.
me smells a TROLL........or maybe my sister..... who believes all that crap....although as far a I know she does not DIS
