Obama's plan: What he isn't telling everyone

I don't really know where to begin on this one. Most Americans don't realize the implications of a nationalized financial system, which is where we're rapidly headed (despite what Obama and Ben Bernanke will tell you, it's looking more and more like Citibank and Bank of America will be nationalized).

The fact is, the government could have all kinds of fun owning the largest banks; the Democrats could extend their "Affordable Housing Policies" and make mortgages available to everyone (how we got in this mess in the first place). Besides the housing markets, the government could easily get involved in education.

Obama says he wants to make education "accessible and affordable to everyone who wishes to go." A noble act, but should everyone get to go to college for free? How many of you reading this are paying for your own schooling? How many have your parents paying for school? I bet on average those of you paying your own way have a significantly higher GPA than those whose parents pay. This relationship has been proven. It was researched extensively during the 1970s and found that people who paid their own way had staked interest in their success and thus had higher GPAs.

If Obama wants to give everyone a chance for a free education, we'll have extremely crowded campuses and a much lower caliber of students. Basically, not everyone can go to college, there still has to be people bagging groceries and pumping gas. Otherwise our society couldn't function.

If a college student can get it, why can't grown liberals? Maybe because liberals are still children?

Obama is:

1) A friend to terrorists.
2) An enemy to the unborn.
3) An enemy to free enterprise.

And simply:

4) An enemy to the United States.

You can get in your free car, filled with free gas to pick up your free diploma to hang on your rent free wall and look at it while eating your free food sitting in your undies because you have your free heat up high and if you get an upset stomach from eating to much you can go the hospital and get free medical help because Obamas the pres..
