Obama's Great Race to Change America
RealClearPolitics ^ | August 6, 2009 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 08/05/2009 10:46:08 PM PDT by kingattax

Why does President Obama want to implement all at once radical changes in American foreign policy, environmental policy, education, health care and the tax code?

The answer is easy: If he does not achieve these initiatives soon, he never will.

Almost none of Obama's proposed policies any longer enjoy majority support among voters -- and many of them were not clearly outlined to voters during the campaign.

Current polls show more Americans are against than in favor of his version of health-care reform. Nearly seven in 10 are wary of government takeovers of the economy, like the bank and car bailouts. Over half do not want more borrowing and higher deficits.

The grand scheme of Obamasiah and the loons supporting him is to take America down.

Listen, and understand.

Hussein of Mombasa is out there. He can’t be bargained with. He can’t be reasoned with. He doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are dead.

It’ll ultimately fail, but the cost will be great.

Looking forward to November 2010.

Against an additional 20-40 million illegal "voters" (however many it takes for ACORN and Hugo Chavez' Diebold to cook the numbers).

IOW, best not to "look forward," and get to work right now or you won't get that chance.

Yes and what is going to happen is he is going push people to the breaking point and the bullets are going to start flying then we are all going to be playing into his hand to call Martial Law. Only thing he has to shore up is the Military and Police backing him. Will they or wont they. That is the question?

The world will soon realize that this is the most dangerous political machine the world has ever seen, bar none.

Soak the rich?? Do a little math. Doing away with the 10% bracket, and putting back at 15% will that people with an income of 10,000 after standard deductions and dependants for singles and 11700 for married will enjoy roughly a 30 percent increase in their taxes. Taxing the first 8350 at 15% rather than 10% will cost about $417 more in taxes. Change you can live with??

It’s obvious Obama is trying to rush through these Marxist plans as fast as possible before Americans know what hits them. It’s a lot harder to climb out of the tar pit than it is to jump in it. He knows that, and he hopes to change things for the worse before his own poll numbers sink lower than the Marianas Trench.

“Obama’s Great Race to Change America”

Translation: He’s trying to hijack our Republic for the Communists before we can stop him.

It is already too late. This emperor is naked and the world knows it. The only ones who still believe are the die hard lefties.

And he is still president for 3 1/2 years

Show me something to be optimistic about
