The Case Against Obama

It's actually fairly simple.

1) He's horribly inexperienced. If it weren't for his teleprompter, he wouldn't know what to say most of the time. Joe Biden put it best: "The presidency is no place for on-the-job training." (Similar reasons why I originally had my doubts about Gov. Palin, until I learned more about her government positions.)

2) He's a good speaker, and he's engaging, but when you look at what he's saying, he's saying very little. A lot of words but no substance. Being a good speaker will not make you a good president. Bill Clinton. Case closed.

3) He's inseparably tied to William Ayers, a known far far leftist terrorist who admitted to planting bombs as part of the "weather underground." Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. This man helped him launch his political career and has been an advisor for YEARS. Do we really want this kind of guy friends with our president?

4) He's inseparably tied to his pastor (now "former" pastor) Jeremiah Wright, who's racist and America hating rhetoric over the years is something that Obama says he doesn't remember hearing. Google this one; you'll find page after page after page of evidence that will leave you with no doubt Mr. Obama was there. A lot. Does he subscribe to the same racist or America hating views? One has to wonder how years of indoctrination under this pastor has affected Mr. Obama. Are we willing to gamble the presidency away hoping he doesn't?

5) He's inseparably tied to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,) an ultra-left organization that has been stained with corruption (especially voter fraud.) Mr. Obama also has used his political ties to funnel money to them. "ACORN as well as other groups were the recipients of foundation money from both the Woods Fund and Joyce Foundation. Why is this important? Obama sat on both boards. Through his board positions, he was able to assist in the funneling of many millions of dollars in grant money to various ultra-liberal organizations like Chicago’s ACORN. It may not be illegal but it gives me pause. source Like most leftist organizations, the original goals were lofty, but the money and power have corrupted them into a tool for the ultra-left. Do we want a man who allies himself with these people? I do not think so.

6) He actually believes climate change is solely due to man-made causes. To quote Clara Peller, "Where's the beef?" Prove it Mr. Obama (when Biden said this, too, during the VP debate, I almost fell off my chair.) Do we really want to elect a president who will spend billions of dollars on junk science? We have more important things to deal with right now...

7) He will abandon the Iraqi people and the government they have set up. He's said it over and over again. He'd rather go and start a war with Pakistan than he would continue to stabilize a democracy in Iraq. An Iran-controlled Iraq would be a threat to the world, not just the US or Israel. Only a fool would think we don't need to be in Iraq.

8) He would gladly meet with Mahkklklklmood Accckkcckcckckmadinejad anytime he wants, with no pre-conditions. Even Joe Biden thought this was insane. Iran continues to funnel weapons, terrorists, and suicide bombers into Iraq. Nah, we can just sit down with their leaders, have a cup of tea, and work this out. Oh boy. Can anyone say, "Neville Chamberlain?"

9) He would raise taxes...a lot. He thinks raising taxes only on those making $250,000 or more wouldn't hurt the people who's taxes weren't raised. Uh, how will the businesses making the larger profits pass on the cost of these higher taxes? THAT'S RIGHT, by raising the prices of the goods and services we currently use. Mr. Obama's plan would put more money in the treasury for a short while, but the economy would suffer as a result.

10) Congress is controlled by Democrats. Most of the bills passed and the action taken by Congress have been Democrat ideas. Congress has an approval rating of 10%. Do you really want these guys in control of the Executive Branch, too?

McCain has more experience and has proven leadership qualities. Of "the two evils" we usually always choose from for our president, he is the obvious choice. God help us all if Obama gets in. The president would not be Barack Obama anyway; it would be George Soros pulling his strings and setting (buying) policy.
