America, our spirits are lifted, we can say a resounding, “NO,” to Obama’s socialization of our nation on a tremendous scale. He does not care about the good of the nation, he does not care about doing what is right, and he seeks to destroy American private industry.

Obama’s audacity is incredible. This man actually believes we will all just drink the liberal Kool-Aid because he fear mongers about everything being a crisis. Nationalize this, regulate that.

Perhaps a brief history lesson for Obama: this is not the worst crisis since the great depression, however it is since Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter’s Keynesian policies drove our economy into the ground, and only Reaganomics brought it back . We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t work, and for some reason he thinks he can get away with disguising his special interest spending bill into an economic stimulus bill. The Congressional Budget Office has found that Obama’s porkulus bill will end up doing more harm than good compared to if he had done absolutely nothing at all!

Incredible that some people are still clamoring to praise his policies. I suppose we should have expected him to follow through on doing exactly what he said he would, “spread the wealth.”

More to come . . .
