1. President Obama is placing his political agenda ahead of the lives of our troops in Afghanistan. A record breaking 62 American deaths occurred in October while President Obama still contemplates whether he will give his appointed general the troops he has requested! He wants to keep the attention on the push for national health care and not divert America's attention to the loss of life in Afghanistan! He seems to do nothing but travel around the world and give speeches, and not handling the life and death decisions in front of him.
2. The health care bills in Congress are not really about health care! The push for national health care is about the government gaining more control over our lives. The bills that have come out of the House and Senate do not fix the problems that President Obama and the Democrats claimed existed in our health care system. The bottom line is that what they are proposing will cost us more in premiums and taxes and fees, and will ultimately reduce the quality and access to medical care that we now have! Millions of people will remain uninsured, nothing addresses medical tort reform, nothing is being done about opening the health insurance market to interstate commerce to increase competition and choice. Instead the bills put the government in the position of making the decisions concerning our health care. The Democrats want to pass health care so that they can pat themselves on the back and claim that they have accomplished a great thing for the American people while increasing the reach of the government into the everyday lives of our people.
3. The Democrats are using dirty tricks to deceive the American people as to what their health care proposals will cost and how it will affect the American people. They claim the bill is "deficit neutral" and will save money and decrease the deficit. The reason they can claim this is because -
a) the bills are full of increased costs, taxes and fees on individuals and businesses.
b) the bills make $500 billion in cuts to benefits to Medicare recipients
c) the government starts collecting the taxes, etc. in 2011, while the actual health care does not begin until 2014, thus building a huge fund to finance the health care plan during the first 10 years! And....what will happen to that huge fund? Will Congress spend it on other things like they have spent the Social Security Trust Fund?
d) Democrats have chopped up their health care agenda into seperate bills like the "Doctor fix" bill that will cost over $200 billion and is NOT included in what the Dems claim is the cost of the current health care legislation.
4) The "transparency" and "bipartisanship" promised by Obama during his campaign have not materialized and Congress is totally divided along partisan lines. The Dems have created their health care bills behind closed doors and without Republican input. The bills and amendments proposed by Republicans have been voted down, or not allowed to come out of committee for a vote. Then the Dems claim that the Republicans have no solutions!
5) Unemployment continues to rise (now 10.2% nationally), the dollar continues to lose value worldwide, gas prices are going up, the housing market remains depressed (only distressed properties are selling), prices for food and commodities are rising, businesses are closing, bankruptcies are increasing, states are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, and President Obama is claiming that the economy in in recovery!
6) President Obama is surrounding himself with numerous leftist radicals (Czars) and has given them extensive authority to influence our government policies. The Czars have not been elected and answer only to the President.
7) President Obama has a close relationship with labor unions, whose leaders are frequent visitors to the White House. The labor unions donated millions to Obama's campaign and now it's payback time.
8) President Obama has a long standing association with Acorn, a corrupt organization that is getting billions of our tax dollars.
9) The White House has taken over the responsibility for the 2010 Census that has always been the jurisdiction of the Dept. of Commerce. Why? The census provides statistics used in setting up Congressional districts, school funding. etc. In this way the census can be manipulated to favor President Obama's objectives.
10) Global warming is based on a faulty premise and is not supported by legitimate scientific research. Obama is promoting Cap and Trade which basically taxes our use of our atmosphere and is again based on faulty scientific conclusions. Cap and Trade will dramatically increase energy costs and dramatically increase government's control over energy.
11) Once the government controls our financial institutions, our energy resources, and even our own health care, they CONTROL OUR LIVES!
12) PRESIDENT OBAMA DOES NOT WANT OUR ECONOMY TO RECOVER! Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" is Obama's playbook. Obama is doing things to destroy our economy, not fix it. Continued spending, tax hikes, bailouts, printing money, etc. are exactly opposite of what economists would recommend to turn around the economy and make it stronger! Obama knows that once the economy collapses then the government is the only resource available to the American people and the government can be in complete control!
13) Iran is building nuclear capabilities, AlQaeda and the Taliban are gaining strength, Israel is in jeopardy of being attacked by Iran, Russia is extending it's influence in the world, and China is not buying our bonds and chastising President Obama about our government's spending.
14) The Obama administration is working its tentacles into our children's education and trying to promote learning socialistic principles and blind admiration of President Obama. The teaching of our American heritage of individual accomplishment and freedom is slowly being replaced with the concept of dependence on the government for all of our needs.
15) The Obama administration's philosophy is to "never waste a good crisis". This was espoused by the President's close associate, Rahm Emanuel, in his book. The administration promotes one crisis after another in order to take the attention of the American public away from what is being done "under the radar" by the White House and Congress! They are promoting the increase in the size and control of the federal government. They want us to be a nation of "middle class" people. Of course, they are the "elite" group that will make our life decisions for us! They think they know better what we need.
16) The Congress and the President do not follow the limits of the Constitution. They are making our Constitution a superfluous and irrelevant document. The Constitution has been the protector of our rights and freedoms and has been the base on which the greatest nation on the earth was built! President Obama, having taught the Constitution to college students, knows exactly what is being done to the Constitution. His goal is not to honor his oath of office, to "protect the Constitution", but instead to DESTROY it. When the Constitution no longer has any power, our republic is gone!
I HAVE TO STOP! There is more! These things are the reason that I fear greatly for our country! We need to make a change in the 2010 elections, and elect people to Congress who have OUR best interests in mind, and not their own!
