If Barack Obama has things in his background that would cause YOU to not support him, but NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, or CNBC doesn't report it, did it happen? Just IGNORING a fact doesn't make the fact go away. And honestly, I am SICKENED by how far the media is willing to go, to IGNORE things that would have Obama with about 10% of the votes if the public knew them, just in the name of revenge. Revenge against George Bush, revenge against the Republican Party, and therefore, revenge against John McCain. And why? Democrats look to get even MORE House and Senate seats in this election when it was the DEMOCRATS that have been in control of the House and Senate for TWO YEARS! Congress has a 12% approval rating, the lowest in HISTORY, and WAY WAY WAY lower than Bush's approval rating, but everything is laid at George Bush's feet. read my entry, hell it must have bee a month ago, as to WHY the media is always so left-leaning. the short answer is, they make more money when ratings are higher, and if people are uncertain, scared, and miserable, they will watch more tv. And nothing brings about uncertainty and misery better than a Democratic President. How did Clinton's health care work for ya? How about that tax cut he promised that turned into a tax hike as soon as he took office? That's what I thought.
So without further delay, here are the TOP TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. If you can't bring yourself to vote for a war hero who has spent the last 20+ years fighting corruption in Washington, vote for Ron Paul. Vote for Mickey Mouse. But for God's sake, don't vote for Barack Obama.
10)Barack Obama isn't for "change." TAX AND SPEND is the same old Democratic "sell me your vote" strategy that has been used for decades. He SAYS he is going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans, but it is now common knowledge that only 40% PAY TAXES! He does promise to cut military spending, but in every other way he promises to spend, spend, spend.
9)Barack Obama would redefine the country with his Supreme Court nominees.
Barack doesn't believe Americans have the right to own guns(look at his voting record), and supports abortion to the point that he doesn't even believe in giving a child born alive DESPITE an attempt at being aborted, medical treatment! The Supreme Court would be slanted to the far left for DECADES if he is given this chance to bring "change."
8)Barack Obama doesn't DESERVE to be Commander in Chief
He voted AGAINST the surge, and until very recently denied that the surge was working! He accused our troops in Afghanistan of "air raiding villages and killing civilians," putting our troops in danger by helping to build hatred against our men and women who are risking their lives for us. He has promised to cut defense spending, and cut development of future weapons systems. Now is a good time to point out that our Predator Drones, which are UNMANNED AIRCRAFT flown remotely by video monitor from pilots in Nevada, SAVE LIVES! When a drone is shot down, we don't lose a precious human life. These new systems we are developing are all being developed to be MORE EFFECTIVE and save American lives! What's wrong with this guy? John McCain served in the military for 22 years, and FOUGHT IN A WAR! Obama never served a second.
7)Barack Obama can't be trusted. He promised to use public financing for his campaign, and changed his mind. his economic plan is now changing DAILY. Additionally, we ARE at war with Islamic Extremists, and like it or not . . . and whether or not he IS Muslim, he DOES have a muslim heritage. He has a muslim name. He had help from a Saudi national to gain admission to Harvard, his buddy Tony Rezko(which the media his from you) is from Syria, and is heading to prison. He has been caught getting ILLEGAL campaign contributions from the Gaza Strip, all the muslim world including Moammar Gadaffi and Louis Farrakhan support him, and his CURRENT middle east advisor was once the spokesman for the PLO. He flip-flopped on whether Jerusalem should be divided, and the list goes on and on and on. His youth and inexperience only ADD to the fact that you can't trust him. If you do it has to be on blind faith.
6)Barack Obama is a socialist. He told "Joe the Plumber" he wanted to "spread the wealth," and today a tape surfaced from 2001 where he lamented the "tragedy" of the civil rights movement that the Supreme Court did not go further into "redistributive social and economic justice." He's a socialist. Believe that. Which explains his work as a community organizer, his relationship with Bill Ayers, and his work at the Woods Foundation and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
5)Barack Obama is the most liberal candidate to EVER get this close to the oval office. And that's not just a claim made by the McCain campaign. Google it. He was ranked #1 most liberal, Biden was #3. That says volumes when you beat out Ted Kennedy!
4)Barack Obama lacks the JUDGMENT needed to be President.
He showed a willingness to sit in a congregation for 20 years and listen to Rev. Wright spew ant-american statements and hateful racial tirades, but only walked away THIS SPRING when the Democratic nomination looked like it was fading from his grasp. He showed a willingness to associate with Rev. Phleger, Tony Rezko, ACORN, and WILLIAM AYERS . . . all to get him ahead quickly . . . then distance himself later when it was politically expedient to do so. Read my other entries about Obama's associations to see how deeply they ran, and for how long.
3)Barack Obama does what is in the interest of Barack Obama.
He was elected to the State Senate in Illinois to MAKE DECISIONS . . . btu when tough decisions came up, rather than vote "yea" or "nea," he did what was in HIS interest and voted "present" 130 times. A vote of "present" is no different than staying in bed and not even showing up. HE, and nobody else, has repeatedly introduced RACE into the campaign for his own purposes. He anticipates racist arguments and makes arguments against them . . .which only works to further divide this country.
2)Barack Obama is DISHONEST.
If you are a liar, you can't be trusted. When asked about William Ayers, he said "he's a guy that lives in my neighborhood." I think we ALL know it was more than that. So much for candor. When asked about Rev. Wright, he claimed he went to that church for TWENTY YEARS, and never heard the kinds of things that YOU HEARD . . . and you've never been to that church ONCE! The list of lies is too long to enumerate. If you challenge his honesty, leave a comment and I will be sure to have a blog entry dedicated ONLy to this man's LIES.
1)Barack Obama lacks EXPERIENCE.
He was in the Senate 130 days before deciding to run for President. He has never run a company, a city, a county, a state, NOTHING. But we're just supposed to hand him the keys to the oval office because he is a good orator? I think it takes a little more than that. Take it from Joe Biden, who said it in a debate right to Obama's face during the Democratic Primary . . . . the job "doesn't lend itself to on the job training." Take it from Joe. Obama is NOT ready to lead.
Maybe SOMEDAY this man will be ready . . . but not NOW. Let him show what he is about in the Senate for a while, and let the TRUTH about his past be KNOWN instead of what we have now, which is the media giving him a free pass on everything just so they can get a Democrat in the White House and sell you that fear for 4 years.
No way, no how, NOBAMA!

Economics 101 for inexperienced ultra-liberal presidential candidates who over-promise in an attempt to buy votes
If there's ONE thing I know, it's economics. I graduated from the University of Louisville in 1994 with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, and was named a "Dean's Scholar"(perfect 4.0)
If, BIG IF, employers(any employers) are made to supply health care to employees, or pay ANY portion of an employee's health care, there is nothing stopping the employer from then reducing the wages of that employee to compensate for the increased cost. In other words, Obama would simply be making people insure themselves. The employer would be paying nothing. When government takes action, it changes behavior.
SO . . . if the business did not reduce the wages, they would be forced to raise the price of their goods/services . . . which means YOU, not the business, would be paying for the health care. Can you say "inflation?" I knew ya could.
Another thing employers could do is hire more employees, but make them all part-time. This would create a hardship on those reduced to part-time from full-time.
Also, an employer could hire outside labor as "contract labor," thus be exempt from any health care requirement.
Lastly, the employer could lay off employees, and not hire additional workers that otherwise would have a job.
So, in the final analysis, the business world is not just going to "eat" the expense of government mandated health care. SOMEBODY is going to pay for it . . . either the employees through lower wages and diminished opportunity, or YOU, the final consumer in higher prices.
Now . . . let's move on to taxes. It works pretty much the same way, but there are a couple of different caveats.
Raise taxes on ANY business, and the business is simply going to raise its prices. Higher taxes promotes inflation and unemployment, and lowers the overall standard of living, making people MORE dependant on the government that worsened their standard of living instead of raising it.
The BIGGEST effect of higher taxes on business is that it deters investment, particularly in the stock market. At this time, the LAST thing we need is a deterrant to investing in the stock market. Obama wants to raise taxes on capital gains so that, IF you make money in the market, he takes a larger portion of the "winnings" to share with the people who chose to do nothing. If you lose, that's your problem. If you win, however, we're ALL going to share in the profits! So investment is going to be discouraged. Taxes change behavior, period. THAT is why when you LOWER taxes it stimulates the economy by increasing paychecks, investment, employment, savings, and JOBS.
Additionally, thos ewho DO invest will pay a LOWER price for stocks, because as taxes increase, that lowers dividends, and it is the SIZE OF THE ANTICIPATED DIVIDEND in relation to the PRICE OF THE STOCK that determines the price of a stock. If taxes go up, dividends go down, stock prices go down, and 401K's will take YEARS to even get back to ground zero. There are TWO factors working(at least) in the sell-off that we see now on Wall Street:
1)Fearing an Obama presidency, people want to sell off BEFORE the election because the belief that higher taxes will lower the price, so there is a race to sell-off before it become a foregone conclusion that taxes will go up.
2)At least HALF the people are smart enough to kno wthat an Obama presidency would just about do away with Wall Street, so instead of losing EVERYTHING, they take what they can.
If McCain wins, look for stocks to SOAR each and every day, with investors seeign OPPORTUNITY instead of OPPRESSION. If Obama wins, the stock market probably won't even be OPEN in another 30 days. Who will be dumb enough to want to INVEST, knowing the dividends will be less, and that if they lose THEY eat the loss, but if they win, EVERYBODY IN AMERICA gets a bigger slice of the winnings?
Lastly, and the most DEADLY result of raising taxes on business is . . . well, we're already #2 in the world in corporate taxation. And we wonder WHy companies leave for Mexico, China, and other countries? There are TWO main reasons why jobs leave the USA. One is lower labor costs abroad. It only makes sense to move a factory to Mexico where workers are plentiful, and will work for far less than their American counterpart. It has NOTHING to do with George Bush, Bill Clinton, John McCain, or Barack Obama. Nothing. The President gets too much of the blame for EVERYTHING, and too little of the credit when things go right. But I guess it goes with the territory.
So we CAN'T control how much Mexicans are willing to work for. But we CAN control ho wmuch taxes we impose on a company to keep them HERE instead of the Bahamas, or someplace else where taxes are lower. It's just a simple fact that as you increase taxes on business, you increase the incentive for companies to relocate elsewhere. it's all about saving money. that's why people shop at Wal-Mart, isn't it? When you can get something cheaper at Wal-Mart, aren't you going to do it? Well THAT is what businesses are doing when they leave the US, and we need to LOWER taxes to bring companies TO America, not raise them and run them off.
Bottom line: as you raise taxes, health care premiums, or WHATEVER . . . as costs raise, companies begin to take measures to 1)avoid the additional cost, or 2)pass it on. In either event, they don't pay it. So Obama can talk all he wants . . . but all he is doing by raising taxes is slowing the economy down, putting people in the unemployment line, raising the price of goods and services, and sending jobs to other countries where taxes and wages are lower.
So if ya think that a vote for Obama is a vote for "change," it is. Everything will change. And it will take MANY years to undo the damage that he causes . . . and the people who vote for Obama will be to blame for being DUMB ENOUGH to think that someone can just wave a magic wand and make everything better.
Do some homework. Find ONE example of where socialism has been utilized to RAISE the standard of living for its people. Wherever you find socialism you also find misery, and you don't have to look very far.

The LATEST(as if anyone cares)
We have NEVER had such an inexperienced, RADICAL candidate this close to the presidency. And even taking EXPERIENCE and IDEOLOGY aside, it is just ASTOUNDING that nothing that Obama does seems to bother most people. No matter WHO he associates with, no matter how little experience, no matter how radical his views. Is a welfare check THAT IMPORTANT? Do you WANT the Government to run everything? What have they EVER done in the past that makes you think that GOVERNMENT can do ANYTHING better, or cheaper? Nothing. I know, I know . . . "change." Well then why don't we just elect Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, or O.J. Simpson? They're all black . . . and who cares if they are rapists, alleged rapists, and murderers? As long as they promote "change," and want to "talk about the economy" instead of their proven record as scumbags, then WHY NOT?
So what's the LATEST? Well, an interview has been unearthed from 2001 where Obama shows his true SOCIALIST colors. Here, LISTEN to the interview for yourself!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3pck
Obama feels it was a TRAGEDY that the Supreme Court in the "Warren Era" didn't pursue "redistribution of wealth." Yeah, he just misspoke a couple weeks ago when he said "spread the wealth," right? Wake up America! Socialism hasn't worked ANYWHERE it has been tried, and there's no going back once we go there . . . people become more and more dependant on the government for everything and are UNABLE to stand on their own.
