Barack Obama: Your Children Should Learn To Speak Spanish

That means that Bush’s approval rating at 30% is over 3 times as high as Congress’. But you will never see the alphabet networks admit that; it goes against their anti-Bush template.

Slightly OT, one thing I find interesting is that people in California complain about that states $16 billion deficit. They forget that under Gray Davis it was $38 billion.

The Fed Govt is bankrupt. The Democrats have no interest in admitting that.

I got your back.

Linking Carter and Obama.. it’s frighening.

Ironically, it’s the Carter policies of higher taxes and malaise that Obama has promised to bring back… confident that a generation has passed and everyone has forgotten what a really bad economy looks like. Apparently, he is right.

However, neither candidate has a clue how to fix the economy. McCain is just as eager as Obama to saddle the economy with massive costs in order to fight ‘climate change,’ which makes about as much sense as taxing the economy to fight continental drift.

Both candidates are eager to drive down the wages of working class families through the massive import of cheap illegal foreign labor.

When it comes to economics, both McCain and Obama are complete frackking morons.

However, he does represent change…change from the failed Bush administration…the failed war in Iraq

Instead, Obama wants to return to what i call the Afghanistan 1990s Doctrine.

The failed 1990s Policy of just ignoring the Jihadis.. allowing them to have a sanctuary in collapsed States , and to train many people to fight against us.

Obama not only advocates returning to that, he’s also willing to contribute to Iraq becoming one of the collapsed States.

Uh, they sure are, Commen-tater. I’m “worried and scared” about an Obama Presidency because people like you think the solution to every problem is to be found in feelings and emotions. Seriously, how will a “psychological boost” going to make gasoline prices go down? You set out a list of problems, but none of them will be fixed by an “injection of HOPE.” In fact, they will be made WORSE by the actual things Obama has said he will do to “fix” them.

Rising gasoline prices? No problem–Obama is going to impose a punitive tax on those evil oil companies that actually go out and get the oil for us, which will make prices go up when it is passed on to the consumer and it will also ensure FEWER oil speculators will enter the business because Obama will just take the profits if you happen to be successful. Of course, Obama is also opposed to ANY domestic drilling to increase the supply, which as any child knows, will cause the price to go down.

And “diminished wages” and “rising unemployment”? No problem there–Obama will just raise taxes. Isn’t that original? Take more of the people’s money away from them so they’ll have less to spend, and viola! The economy suddenly rebounds and goes through the roof? Wrong again, jackass. Greater taxes have NEVER resulted in greater prosperity for the citizens, and never will.

So, do you really think that despite raising taxes and blocking domestic oil production, Obama’s hope, change and inspiration will somehow fix these problems anyway? If so, you are delusional.

And by the way, even The London Times is reporting today that Al-Qaeda has had its “last stand” in Iraq in the northern city of Mosul. A remaining Al-Qaeda force of 1200 that had been flushed out of more central areas was “crushed.” 1000 of them were taken alive. So, contrary to the bumper-sticker you’ve memorized, the Iraq War is not one “with no end in sight.” If your “hope and change” candidate were in charge, we would have pulled out months ago, leaving those 1200 Al-Qaeda savages to re-group and take bloody revenge on Iraqi men, women and children who were supportive of democracy.

So please keep describing your views to others just as you did in your comment. Conservatives have been saying for months that Obama’s supporters have absolutely no substantive reasons for supporting Obama except these touchy-feely claims that everything will magically be fixed because of hope, change and inspiration. You prove that the accusation is 100% correct.

Or we have a rational grasp on history and current events.

Take, for example, our friends in Germany, the welfare state over which Democrats like Obama gush as an economic miracle.

1/15/08 Germany’s GDP rose 2.5% in 2007.

1/3/08 The unemployment rate in Germany improved from 8.6% to 8.4% in December, the lowest in 15 years.

Putting that into perspective, the US economy increased the amount in one quarter of 2007 that the German economy did in the entire year, with our unemployment rate being a fraction of Germany’s.

Or, as phrased elsewhere:

In 2008, using history as a yardstick, life actually is better and richer and fuller, with more opportunities than ever before.

He ticks off supporting statistics: A relatively low unemployment rate, 5.5 percent in June. (Employers did, indeed, cut payrolls last month by 62,000 jobs, but consider the 10.1 rate of June 1983 or the 7.8 rate of June 1992.) Declining rates of violent crimes, property crimes and big-city murders. Declining rates of disease. Higher standards of living for the middle class and the working poor. And incomes that, for many, are rising above the rate of inflation.

But unfortunately, that doesn’t help the Obama campaign or the Democrat Party; hence they, along with their media shills, have to make sure that everyone thinks things are going horribly.

Especially when their candidate has nothing to recommend him other than his skin color.

THE REAL TRUTH IS THIS: A true leader isn’t just someone with a long list of elected posts or seats on committees but someone who can inspire.

Hitler was an inspiring leader. Jim Jones was an inspiring leader. Mussolini was an inspiring leader. All of them succeeded in inspiring their countries/organizations right into the toilet.

Furthermore, if “inspiring leadership” led to successes, Obama would have an enormous string of them.

He doesn’t.

Why has someone who has always been such an “inspiring leader” been so unable to produce anything that even remotely resembles a record of accomplishment in either the private or the public sector?

Right now, Obama is leading in the national polls. That means that the American populace, whether or not they believe Obama to be inexperienced, wants someone different from what we’ve had for the past 8 years. Bush is incredibly unpopular now according to the polls, even among some Republicans. That’s why McCain is working hard to distance himself from the W as much as he feasibly can. Americans on the whole are psychologically at a low point…we’re feeling desperate for a fresh perspective…someone who can impart to us a feeling of HOPE, hope for a better tomorrow. That’s why Obama’s message resonates with lots of people, whether or not they think he’s experienced.

Right now, with a war that sees no real end in sight, rising unemployment, diminished wages, and rising gasoline prices, Americans are feeling worried and scared. That’s the story line of today’s polls. THE REAL TRUTH IS THIS: A true leader isn’t just someone with a long list of elected posts or seats on committees but someone who can inspire. In 2008, the candidate who will win the US presidency will be someone who will give America a psychological boost. Again, whether or not Obama is experienced enough, he’s succeeding in giving America that injection of HOPE. Why do you think his campaign is branded with that word? If anything, Obama is marketing savvy. McCain isn’t. Right now, a widget sounds more sexy than McCain.

The fact that the Democrat Party is pushing an incompetent and inexperienced person like Obama indicates one of two things:

1) They know things really aren’t that bad — so they’re lying

2) They believe Obama’s skin color makes him competent — so they’re insane.

At least you acknowledge that Obama is similar to other politicians.

But, those failures you mention are hardly failures. We’re winning in Iraq as all the latest reports show. While we are experiencing an economic slowdown, it’s pretty minor as such slowdowns go. Our diplomacy is far from a failure, with an increasing number of pro-Bush regimes (see e.g., Canada, France, Germany, Italy most recently).

McCain has never waffled on troop withdrawal from Iraq, conditioning it on conditions on the ground there.
