Obama: to ruin this country

I saw that headline, courtesy of Google Alerts, and nearly lost my breakfast. The media's love affair with Democratic presidential candidate Barry Obama continues as well as its portrayal of him as modern day American messiah.

Think of the taxes, think of the regulation, think of the burden this man will attempt to "bestow" upon us. Imagine a country where traditional values are admonished.

Here's the likely agenda of a President Obama:

Appointments of activist judges whom, rather than applying a strict interpretation of the Constitution, will do their damnedest to implement their progressive agendas

A "green" agenda that further buries our economy. What our economy needs now is cheap energy more than anything. Look at what restricting our driving will do to tourism, restaurants, entertainment, etc. As the environmentalists despise all things "Big Oil," it's the citizenry that suffer.

Sullying the office of the President of the United States by welcoming our ideological enemies with welcome arms. As a liberal is wont to do, Obama believes that we can TALK to people like Ahmadinejad and Kim Jung Il, despite overtures from the latter two that would contradict any sort of notion.

A few notes from this article:

"No, it doesn't necessarily mean he will be a good President, or even that he will make a decisive break with the disastrous foreign policies that have turned half the world against the US. However, he remains a potent metaphor for all that is best in the American constitution - the stuff about it being self-evident that all men are created equal."

Oh yes, the aforementioned view that it is OUR fault (that being the Bush Administration) is almost laughable. People forget that Saddam was violating double-digit United Nations sanctions and that Al Qaeda was hitting American interests at will prior to George Bush taking office. But when our government decides to be proactive, we truly become the Great Satan, malevolent and imperialistic.

"Yup, I know that women are not quite as equal as men. And for the black American underclass, it is equality of misery. But he has lived that contradiction. Barack Obama's own life experience is his best recommendation. He made a conscious decision to align himself with the black American dispossessed as a community activist in Chicago. His wife, Michelle, knows about being part of an underclass. His election would represent atonement for America's wars and for its capitulation to the politics of the super-rich. If the US can't come to its senses under Obama, it can't do it at all."

Another absolute joke here; Barry Obama doesn't represent poor Black American anymore than $400 haircut John Edwards represents the poor South. Obama has enjoyed the fruits of his riches from the cradle. He comes from money; he knows money. Furthermore, as a community activist, Barry Obama can share some of the blame for the subprime housing mess; it was "activists" like him who bullied lenders into handing out loans to poor people with bad credit on the premise that if they did not distribute said loans, they would be branded as racist.

You don't hear the mainstream media discussing that, do you?
