. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be
underestimated. He is a ‘cool customer’ who doesn’t show his emotions. It’s
very hard to know what’s ‘behind the mask’. Taking down the Clinton dynasty
from a political neophyte was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still
do not understand what hit them.
Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a
way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position,
while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch
what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to
make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including
dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as
the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to ‘level the
playing field’ with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of
society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, & NATIONAL
HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn’t care about the auto or
financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and
trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE
college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program,
because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type
single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to
control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God
forbid.

5. He’s surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one
around him has ever even run a candy store. But they’re going to try and run
the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can’t work
in the long run. Obama’s not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular
progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but
will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but
more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to
orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas.
He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and
England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation
that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times
made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies
and appeased our enemies!

7. He’s now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not
‘come due’ until after he’s reelected in 2012. He’d like to blame all
problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future.
He has a huge ego, and Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong.
We’re ‘pining’ for another Reagan, but there’ll never be another like him.
Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for
his terrible speech in February are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich
is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but
needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she’s to be a
serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower
taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense,
and states’ rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We’re
spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyper inflation,
depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity.
The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their
agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the
huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package. These were
trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions and the Congress to
placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed.
Fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was
grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain,
and the mantra of ‘change’ caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would
have won this election; it was surprising is was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be
swept back into power. If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If
it’s between 8-10%, it’ll be a dogfight. It’ll all be about the economy.

I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s happening in Washington
and Congress. There’s a left-wing revolution going on, according to
Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal
resistance. The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can
reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.
