“CHANGE We Can Believe In” cries the Obama mantra. Wouldn’t the world be wonderful if we could just elect the right President; a peaceful understanding President and give him a Congress that supports his every move for the CHANGE he expounds? We could solve the terrorist problem. We could cure the world of hatred. Our energy problems and health care problems would melt away and, oh, life would be so sweet! What a wonderful dream Obama would have the voters believe he would bring!

But, that’s all it is - a dream. And not a realistic dream at that.

Barack Obama is a marvelous orator with a whit and eloquence that grabs one’s attention. His speeches are full of the general but usually lacking in the specific. Has he discovered that voters are swayed more with eloquent oratory aimed at their personal and political frustrations and desires rather than at situational truths and realistic positions?

It seems Barack Obama has a close relationship with Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts who won office using similar oratory. The two apparently often exchange rhetoric they have found moving and effective. Does that mean Obama’s rousing speeches are just effective rhetorical prose created in general terms by various writers to inspire his present audience with little substance of policy or fact? It seems that, at least sometimes, this is the case. Tell your audience what they want to hear and they will follow you anywhere.

To get at the truth, one needs to slice through the rhetoric and grandeur from Barack Obama’s speeches and rely upon past statements and actions to separate the man from the oratory. This means tossing out the rhetoric and looking at his historical actions and record. Furthermore, the record should be compared to current policy statements for truthfulness. So, lets look at some well known and some not so well known comparisons.

1. NOW: Obama says he is a new type of politician not stooping to dirty tricks to win elections.

THEN: As a community organizer Obama was labeled as a natural to “rub raw the sores of discontent….”. In Obama’s first Illinois senate race he used “Chicago Rules” to invalidate enough of the voting petition signatures of three of his Democrat challengers to successfully keep them off the ballot, including incumbent Alice Palmer, enabling him to run unopposed.

2. NOW: Obama says he is a Christian with Christian beliefs and ideals.

THEN: Obama’s father and step-father were both Muslim. Obama even spent several years of his youth in a Muslim environment in Indonesia.
And as a politician, Obama has employed and still employs several “Nation of Islam” members and has ties to radical Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Obama stated in a 2004 interview about his faith that, “I believe there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power…..” True Christians know the only path to heaven is through Jesus Christ.
Finally, Obama’s half-brother says Barack grew up a Muslim.

3. NOW: Obama claims to understand how to re-invigorate the sluggish economy. Here are his outrageous Obamanomics policies.

POLICY: Obama will try to apply socialist policies to our economy.

4. NOW: Obama claims to be patriotic.

THEN: Obama refuses to wear lapel U.S. flag pin, sits in black liberal church listening to hate speech for more than 20 years and more.

5. NOW: Obama doesn’t have a handle on real world facts.

THEN: He has made remarkable Gaffs showing a dangerous lack of understanding of important issues.

6. NOW: Obama claims to be a strong supporter of Israel in her struggle to survive.

THEN: The L.A. Times says, “Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama…..” When asked if he thought Israel represented a drag on America’s reputation overseas, Obama said: “No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy…..”

7. NOW: Obama would be the most liberal President ever on abortion.

THEN: Obama promised that legalizing unrestricted abortion, including partial birth abortion, would be his first objective as President. It would seem he also supports infanticide.
Wife Michelle defends the gruesome practice of partial birth abortion.

8. NOW: Obama ends one personal association after the next.

THEN: They say that to know someone find out who his friends are. Obama distances himself from convicted felon Tony Rezko who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama’s campaigns and with whom he had questionable real estate transactions.
Obama breaks his 20 year ties with two acknowledged radical MENTORS Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger.
Obama has many radical friends and personal associations with the likes of Bill Ayers (unrepentant Weatherman Underground bomber), ACORN (radical pro-Marxist organization), other communist ties, ties to Rashid Khalidi and other radical associations.

9. NOW: Obama claims to have a new outlook on U.S. foreign policy that will restore American credibility.

REALITY: However, experts dispute the intelligence of his policy statements. Suppose Obama allows Iran to get nukes and they attack Israel or arm terrorists with them as they have eluded they would do.

10. NOW: Obama says he will cut military spending, downsize our military and slow the development of new weapons systems.

DANGEROUS: The world is becoming more dangerous and many countries would like to see the U.S. fall. China is aggressively expanding it’s military and more counties are obtaining weapons of mass destruction. We need to maintain our technological edge in defense over the these powers to keep our citizens safe.

11. NOW: Obama claims he is a uniter and will work with Republicans and Democrats alike to fix Washington.

THEN: Obama’s record shows him to be a strictly liberal party line Senator and he has made no effort to work across party lines.

12. NOW: Obama says upon taking office he will launch an investigation into the Bush administration for war crimes and violations of law.

IMPACT: Investigating a previous Presidential administration by a sitting President is unheard of and would set a dangerous precedent of political gotcha from the White House.

13. NOW: Obama hit on a way to out raise his opponents in the donations game giving him a spending advantage and rejecting the Presidential Public Funding System.

THEN: Obama openly promised John McCain that he would participate in the Presidential Public Funding System to keep campaign spending fair and within reasonable bounds. He is breaking that promise.

14. NOW: Obama and his Democrat colleagues don’t believe the U.S. should open regions containing vast oil and gas reserves to drilling.

IMPACT: Gasoline prices have rocketed to $4.00 a gallon and most Americans are feeling the pain. It is unlikely that Obama will allow drilling in the rich oil fields known to exist in ANWAR and the continental shelves. 85% of the known U.S. oil reserves have been placed off-limits to drilling by a liberal Congress.

15. NOW: Both candidates support cap and trade proposals to address global warming. Obama and the Democrats will surely pass cap & trade legislation if he is elected.

IMPACT: Cap and trade is an incredible boondoggle. It is estimated that it would cost the American taxpayer trillions of dollars in higher product costs and thousands of lost jobs. Furthermore, over 9,000 PHD scientists have signed a petition providing research showing that man made global warming does not exist. It is a scientific fact that CO2 from fossil fuels is not causing global warming. The truth is finally coming out about the propaganda pushed by Al Gore.

One more thing on global warming. The sun has an 11 year sunspot cycle providing more energy when sunspots are active. However, the present cycle is acting odd in that sunspots are not returning on time. A few hundred years ago sunspots nearly vanished from the sun’s surface for decades. During that period, the earth cooled dramatically creating what was termed “the little ice age”. There is concern that we may be about to enter another big chill. (more on this in a future story)

16. NOW: Obama wants to increase taxes on the “rich” and on corporations.

IMPACT: Corporate taxes are, by nature, passed through to the consumer in the way of higher prices and U.S. corporations are already taxed at the second highest rate of any nation in the industrialized world. Raising corporate taxes further and, thus, raising costs to consumers would only hurt the American public and make U.S. companies less competitive overseas.
Raising taxes on the rich ( i.e. mostly small business owners) would just pile on the already overtaxed upper middle class. According to data from the Congressional Budget Office tax rolls in the most recent year available, 2005, breaks down like this:

Income Bracket — Pays This Percentage of All Personal Income Taxes
Top 1% ———– 38.8%
Top 20% ——— 86.3%
Top 40% ——— 99,4%
Bottom 60% —- 00.6%

It is painfully obvious that those making over $60,000 per year (approximately the top 40%) already pay nearly the entire income tax burden. With an economy that is struggling with higher oil prices and a possible recession, this is not the time to be increasing taxes on anyone.

This is just a hand full of the problems we would face with an Obama Presidency. There are more. It is obvious to many that Mr. Obama is not of the caliber to occupy the oval office. In fact, Obama probably wouldn’t even be able to get a job at the FBI with his background.

We, The Voters, Cannot Allow This Man To Occupy The Oval Office!
