Obama Stupidity Part II

Why, McCains, of course. But that's because I don't need my government telling me when I can go to the bathroom, either. And that's where we're headed as a nation. Cigarettes are sold legally, yet without allowing a vote, governments have legislated and taxed the product to the point where it might as well be illegal. That is just one example. Obama can stay the heck out of my home and out of my personal life. Why doesn't he worry about what matters like, oh I don't know, A SECURE NATION AND THE ECONOMY?

My concern is that this is not an example of "stupidity" so much as an indication of what his policies will be. For a party that protests every incursion into the privacy of terrorists, the prospective incursion into the privacy of Americans hinted at here is bone chilling.

Barak Obama is embarrassed about how great the United States of America is. Do we want a President who would continue what has made this country great, or one who wants government controls to limit freedom and liberty?

He says "that's not going to happen." I have to ask how is he going to stop that from happening? Does he plan legislation of some type to control our driving habits, diets and thermostats? It follows the Michelle Obama line of us giving up a little more of our pie or her statements of how Barack will not let us sit back and rest anymore.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

If this comment by Obama doesn't convince you of his socalistic ideology, nothing will.

He's just hinting at his future plans to push through legislation. He'll base his need to control what we eat because the government needs to legislate 'preventative healthcare' if they're going to impliment a nationalized social healthcare plan. They'll need to legislate stricter fuel economy standards on vehicles sold in the US to help 'fight global warming and decrease foreign oil dependancy'. And they'll need to create federal standards mandating radio controlled thermostats so they can regulate the heating and cooling temperatures in everyone's home in the event the federal government declares some sort of 'energy crisis' instead of letting free market dictate higher pricing and thereby creating lower demand. It's the perfect example of how democrats intend on taking away your freedom in the name of making the world better. Go figure, you'd think he'd be praising freedom on the week before memorial day, not talking about how he wants to strip it from you.

if the people elect Obama they are going to be forever sorry that they did , he is nothing more then a socialist or I might even venture to say communist.What are the people thinking that flock to this guy are they on some thing that takes away common sense , you just don't turn your country over to someone who is bent on it becoming a third world country. We may find that we are going to have selective feeding and selective money spread to certain types of people who will rat their neighbors out to the government . Wake up people and realize the no one can promise hope or yes we can, the can is up to each individual not people as a whole , communist have their elites , they have all they can get and the masses are left with little or nothing , but work their self in to early graves supporting the likes of Obama. This is the most dangerous man of the 21st century.

I've never been a McCain fan - except for his stance on Iraq, Afghanistan and the war against radical Islam - but the two socialists on the Democrat side are starting to improve McCains appeal.... a little. Barack Almighty is the second coming of Jimmy Carter, without the managerial experience. I've never been one to argue, "Let the libs have it so everyone will see how screwed up thing get and open the doors for conservatives in 2012." But it's looking like it may happen whether we like it or not. Time to stock up on food and ammo.

We know the hate both the Obama's have for America and his insane ideas for its future. But no matter what his fellow Democrats say now, if he becomes pres. they will fall in lock step with any and all of his ideas no matter how damaging to America.

He just mentioned how he was going to change the world!I wonder if he intends on making Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Antartica, South America and all of North America the seven additional States that he alluded to last week? But then, what about D.C.?

What is really disturbing is the number of young people who follow this man like lemmings. What does that say about our future? Is anyone teaching History in public school anymore?

Obama admitted in the ABC network debate "appearance" of fairness supersedes fiscal policy success. Lets recognize something here. Zbigniew Brzezinski is on the Obama team. Human rights over detente ring any bells. Political capitol will be "accrued" based on worldly good deeds (appeasement) and used towards our interests. Simply put - Image is everything. Either we start acting, eating, driving and living like them, care about what they care about (or not care about is sure to be "progressive" to say the least ) or they won't do as we ask. How else could we be expected to act if we want to lead the free world. There it is- Obama's foreign policy which starts here at home. If this means punishing ourselves for the sake of "appearance" then we better do as Obama says if we want to "change" the world. I get it now. Sounds like something a Kindergarten class goes over. As I grew older I learned sometimes it didn't matter how I acted. Bad people are bad people and either you fight them or give up your lunch money. Hope Obama's administration doesn't ground us for gaining weight when they get access to our medical records through government healthcare.

Obama is two sandwiches short of a picnic. Setting aside the fact that it was Obama who made the statements there is much to be said for respect and care for others. We have a moral duty to share what we have with others and we do not have a right to be greedy. Gone are the days when "Greed was good". We have a duty and obligation to our neighbour, whether that be the one next door or another country to look after each other. What you do to the least of My bretheren you do to Me.

Abraham Lincoln said, "The American people generally get what they deserve". As long as our schools continue to teach our kids WHAT to think instead of how to think we will continue to produce an electorate that will vote for a socialist like Obama. Some will do it just for smile and the ability to speak for they will not be able to understand what he is really saying. These are the complete non-thinkers. I remember a while back reading some Hollywood person (you know, those notoriously brilliant thinkers) say that they just loved and will vote for Obama. Then they said they can't wait to find out what his plans are for the country.
Then there are those who do hear what he says but they have not a clue as to what it means to this country. They have no ability to connect the dots because they have no frame of reference and no ability to think deductively or inductively. These people have almost no conception of what it means to have a government controlled medical system and government involved in every minute aspect our lives. Is it hard to discover what a government medical would be like? Well, just look at Canada where patients with serious issues flock to this country for medical care. Ditto England. It is all about the government (politicians) having more and more control over our lives (and money). There is virtually no solid evidence global warming but it is going to be a great device (excuse) for the government to impose all sorts of new taxes and even for the UN to try to achieve the ability to tax all countries. You remember that trustworthy organization whose latest scandal was their appeal for desperately needed funds used to provide food to the poor and then it was discovered that they had 1.2 BILLION dollars on hand.
The most basic bottom line is that we are in trouble because many of the upcoming generation have lost the ability to think (if they ever had it at all). It is not because some have a different opinion than others; it is because they either have no opinion or original thoughts and/or they have borrowed their opinions without questions, from the cutest and nicest sounding political figure. Ask any one of them to tell you a little bit about their beliefs and they will become instantly defensive and probably attack you (verbally).

Greg Todd asked above, "Is anyone teaching history in public school anymore"? The answer is absolutely not. Just do a little test and ask a student some question about U.S. History. There is little being taught about how this country became what it did. There is little being taught about the sacrifices that were made in several major wars to protect what we have. The despots names have changed from Hitler, Stalin, etc. to Hussein, Bin Lauden (the Iran guy) and others but since there is little teaching of history many of our young people cannot recognize the new despots for who they are. And they cannot recognize that some of our politicians who think they can talk these despots out of anything are vastly unqualified to be in office.

Is it because our schools are failing in educating the youngsters in their constitutional rights? It is ironic that this ignorance is being exploited by a "constitutional law professor"

Obama believes in socialism; he wants to take from the "rich white people" and give to the poor blacks. Well, I say to them all, but especially to Obama, if you want to be successful, don't just fabricate your autobiography in a few books....GET A JOB!!! Turns out Obama, the poor "poverty stricken child of mixed heritage parents" has never really had a job where he had to WORK!!! He voted "present" in the senate over 100 times, couldn't even work hard enough on the issues to take a stance, but then again, he WAS very busy writing his second book! What a fraud! I'll say it again, GET A JOB! Until then , you're not qualified to run for dog catcher!

Yes, I agree with many posts in regards to what is taught in our school system. I opted to go Catholic but they use the same nasty textbooks that are in NY public schools, so I must supplement anyway. There have been numerous politically correct assignments that have come home, especially for my fifth grader, in which we have taken an alternate stand on his papers. This week it was man-made global warming. His report focuses on the sun cycles and how the hypothesis of man-made global warming may be incorrect and how the greatest civilizations rose during the warmest periods on the earth.

In March, when he needed to write another report yet on another women or minority group in the US, I opted for him to research and study his own European heritage and reminded him how lucky he was that his ancestors decided to migrate from Europe to the US prior to the Civil War.

I control what my second grade son learns as well. Most of the books he brings home have a girl protagonist. He rolled his eyes the other evening at "Ivy and Bean and the Ghost that Had to Go", complaining "more girls?" I chose a different novel for him and teacher appeared to have no problem.

It is the duty of all parents to teach our children how to think critically, be independent of government intervention, and to be proud of whom they are, so they can avoid being led around by the latest fad, the inept educational system, or the next "do as I say, not as I do" Hollywood star.

Obama's platform...Hope and Change, right?
The way I see it, he proposes to dictate what we can hope for. He proposes to dictate what will change.

Doesn't everyone remember how he said he is going to tax the dejeebus out of us to support the other third world countries? Well, we will not be able to have comfortable houses and nice meals by the time that happens. I am so disappointed in this country's youth. My kids who are grown would never fall for this fraud. Good thing I tought them to think for themselves.

Obama wants the the tyrants and dictators in the UN to set your thermostat and decide what you should eat.

Obama's idea of strong leadership for the U.S. is to bring us down to the level of the third world countries instead of helping them achieve living standards comparable to ours.
