Now come all the paybacks from the far left who got him into office. Just think of all the monies and from whom? The new government of entitlements where there will be more in the wagon for the free ride than are willing to pull the wagon. COME TO AMERICA..EVERYTHING FREE IN AMERICA..WORK HARD FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REDISTRIBUTE YOUR TAX MONIES TO GIVE TO PEOPLE WHO WILL KEEP THEM IN POWER. 51% IN THE WAGON BEING PULLED BY THE 49% CALLED THE TAX PAYER. Your retirement destiny will now be in the control of big government. More taxes,higher deficits, deep recession, increased unemployment, more governement intrusion into the free market, energy independence on the back burner, more threats from NK, Iran,Russia,Venezuela, etc. Our experienced textbook man will now provide the solutions to what ails this country. Rest assured he will have all the expertise he needs from Pelosi, Schumer,Reid,Dodd, Barney Franks,and few more associates form the past. With a corporation like those mentioned above how could any corporation stay afloat? Only in Washington...they have the tax payer.

One liberal actually got it right last century: “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people”, H. L. Mencken. Welcome to the USSA (United Socialist States of America).

WATCH WALL STREET TAKE A DIVE TODAY !!! It is no longer about the Economy folks. Americans better take pause in these troubling times when the Muslims have said they plan on destroying the United States from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level than through the President of the United States, one of their own. According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ will be a man on his 40's, of Muslim decent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a massive Christ like appeal. The Prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace. and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Strange how a man can come out of no where and dupe the American people as Barack Obama has done. God help us in these coming days.

"His election tilts the playing field to the left that will involve a range of issues making it easier for labor to unionize businesses and collect dues, automatic arbitration favoring unions, making it easier for trial lawyers to file lawsuits, and reimposing the fairness doctrine to silence conservative talk radio," said Michael Franc, vice president for government relations at the Heritage Foundation. ********************************** All of the above will curtail corporate rule. Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest are just corporate shills selling snake oil to the public. They won't be silenced but someone will be offered that has an opposing view. Instead of nonstop redmeat distortions Limbaugh will have to for the first time defend his statements. They can always move to satellite radio. "Automatic arbitration favoring labor unions" come now,since when is arbitration seen as favoring one side or the other.

Although "trickle down" theory allegedly supports the rich, there is another side of it that supports job loses. If taxes are increased on any business (rich or otherwise), that amount becomes part of the cost of doing business and is passed to the product. In a global economy, when that cost reaches a point of noncompetitiveness, people move to the lower cost product. This means either we cut production, lay off jobs or move to a lower cost environment. This has already proven to be an issue with many technology and services jobs going to China and India. Obama's tax increases on the rich will trickle down cost to the entire country. We have already globalized our economy, so how is Obama planning on making the U.S. job market competitive in a global economy? He is in charge now. How many jobs will we lose for each percentage of tax increase? Green energy ain't gonna get it done. Once you reach 51% of the GNP going to the government, you are cannibalizing the private economy anyway.

America took more than a sharp left turn. Americans must take pause in these troubling times when the Muslims have said they plan on destroying the United States from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level than through the President of the United States, one of their own. According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ will be a man on his 40's, of Muslim decent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a massive Christ like appeal. The Prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace. and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Strange how a man can come out of no where and dupe the American people as Barack Obama has done. America lost last noght, God help us in these coming days.

Ah yes, Mr. Lambro, you can throw that wishful thinking out there in hope that obama supporters will latch on to it, but reality is Obama is a revolutionary at heart and has the political baggage to prove it and the will of America behind him. My opinion is he will not hesitate to follow through with the take and redistribute theme. His exposure to revolutionary thought from his friends and his white house occupancy have him on the road now and the momentum cannot be lost. You'd better review what Lenin has said when it comes to seizing and keeping power. There is no Congress or Senate to check his swift actions toward making our country a third world country. It is simple to understand. Obama and his supporters want to buy the world a coke, and want the love of the world. The world wants the U.S. to back off from leadership. Dictators are all right. Let them live. As long as the U.S. backs off the world stage and slides backward into third world status, the Obama thought (though not acknowledged) will achieve its objective. With the current fastly deteriorating infrastructure in the U.S., its dwindling will to lead, declining productivity and outstanding debt, well, just sit back, stand in line when you have to and enjoy as much as you can. Its 21st century America! Obama mania forever! Congrats!

On the other hand, Obama's thought may ultimately be good for the immigration problem. After a few years of continuous decline in America, the word will spread around the world about how difficult life is in America and the will to immigrate to the U.S. will also decline. Obama just might be a crafty leader after all.

If I am wrong correct me. Direct us to chapter and verse where these things are said. Other wise you are a baldface liar.
