This article, (
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D928S7080&show_article=1), reports Barack Obama’s, warning that John McCain and the
evil Republicans are tying to scare Americans.
I thought this was an odd claim.
Based on my own reaction, whenever I hear the anointed one speak, I
assume that scaring the bejeebers, (whatever a bejeeber is), out of Americans
was his reason for being. I thought
about why fear grips my heart tighter than the skin on Nancy Pelosi’s forehead
whenever I hear the benevolent one speak.
Here are three reasons.
First, you
don’t have to listen to the blessed Barack long before he spins off a list
of a dozen or more problems he is going to solve for the people of America. Unfortunately, they are usually all
problems that any self-respecting person would take care of themselves
instead of asking their neighbors to pay for it. You wonder what he is going to propose
next--a federal program to clean out our garages and wash our cars? The scary part here is that I am
gainfully employed and will probably get stuck with the bill. He is buying votes with my money.
Second, it is
clearly evident that how an economy works is a closed book for the
generous and gracious one. He
doesn’t have a clue. For proof, one
need look no further than his ideas, (using that term very loosely), on
solving the problem of gas prices.
In a nutshell, he would tax oil companies more, hand out another
useless stimulus payment, and encourage us to inflate our tires. Not the sort of world-class economic
thought that inspires much confidence.
It is the sort of thought that should inspire fear in Americans.
Finally, I understand that the Democrat Party has
problems with Presidential nominees.
Examples such as Kerry, Gore, Clinton and Carter immediately come to mind.
The difference between them, (with the probable exception of Carter), and
Barack “the one” Obama is that with the others, it was a safe bet that
their Presidency may mess things up for a time, but they probably would
not be an unmitigated disaster. Electing
Obama on the other hand is sort of like putting a tenderfoot Boy Scout in
charge of the Strategic Air Command, an analogy that breaks down because
the Boy Scout is likely to do a better job. The scary part here is that
our political system is so badly flawed that a major political party
actually chose this vacuous and pathetic Chicago political hack as the guy they
think ought to run our country, and it seems that at least half of the
electorate, for the moment, are buying into it.
