Barack Obama – Canadians overwhelmingly love this man, but do the majority of us actually know anything about him? Sure he is intelligent, likeable, gives a great speech, and is an entertaining guest on the talk show circuit, but do we know anything else? The mainstream media gives him a free pass no matter what he does or says? Have you ever heard anything negative about him? Not much, I’m guessing.
President Obama and the Democratic Party represent the takers in society. They want big government to take care of everyone (the takers) and they want to raise taxes-- especially on the rich—to pay for it. At least they say they want to take it from the rich because people like to hear that, but it will mostly be the middle class paying for it. Europe has already tried and failed miserably with this type of solcialism. You would think the Americans would want to learn from the mistakes of Europe, but instead they want to follow them right into the abyss.
The Republicans on the other hand represent the makers in society. They want smaller government and for people to take care of themselves for the most part, with a safety net for the people who can’t. They want to reduce regulation for businesses to make it easier and less expensive to operate so they can hire people, get people working. Obama wants to add more taxes and regulation which makes it less likely businesses will hire more people. Remember Obama’s famous words to business people and entrepreneurs “You didn’t build that”. Oh, I forgot, you probably didn’t hear about that either, unless you watch Fox News or Sun TV,
Obama is also about protectionism. If Americans starting “buying American”, where does that leave Canadians. Two-thirds of what Canadians produce is exported to the States. Yet we are so pro-Obama. I don’t get it.
And what about Benghazi??? If what Obama allowed to happen to the Americans in Benghazi, Libya, had been done by a Republican president, he would have been impeached by now. There is hard proof in the form of emails from the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi to the White House requesting extra protection because they had strong suspicions that they were going to be attacked on the anniversary of 9/11. The White House did nothing. Even though there was time to send reinforcements, they did nothing. Then after the attack, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were tortured (which included being sodomized), were killed, and their bodies dragged through the streets, President Obama and his staff repeatedly stuck to the “story” that the attack was in response to a pathetic You-Tube movie slamming Islam, which was made by an American. It was reported by Fox News and Sun TV that the White House knew this was not true and knew it right from the start, yet they repeated the lie time and again and the mainstream media swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker. Even after the truth came out, the mainstream media mostly just ignored it.
His chumminess with the Muslim world is also unsettling along with his desire for America to NOT be the super power. If America is not the super power, another country will assume that role. Who will that be? China? What does that mean for the rest of the western world? What does that mean for Canada? Without America to crack down on the bullies of the world, bullies that do horrible things to their own people, what kind of world will that be?
Finally, there is the question of President Obama’s past—his ties to a professor (his mentor) who was a card carrying communist. Any other president with the slightest tie to a communist would be crucified by the media. Is that the view he has for America? Or should I say Amerika?
All I have left to say is I hope I am wrong about him. I really, really do.
