President Obama and "Only Government"

It was a rough press conference, to say the least.

President Obama was questioned about more bizarre remarks made by his own Vice President, and he seemed to laugh right along with the reporters in the room, as they were laughing at Biden.

More importantly, and more tragically, President Obama continued with his apocalyptic rhetoric about what will, necessarily, happen to the United States economy, if American citizens don't fully embrace (and the United States Congress doesn't pass) the big government giveaway bill, jokingly referred to as "the economic stimulus bill."

More alarming, still, was his insistence that - - to use his words - - "only government" can break the recession (read the details HERE).

No reference to the hard work and productivity of the American worker.

No reference to the job creation brought about from investors who take risks with their money and build business that employ others.

No reference to the fact that, even in an economic downturn, the wondrous American economy still produces a greater GDP than any other nation - - greater than that of China, a country with three times the population of the U.S.

Last fall, I published a national column about the similarities on economic ideas, between then-Senator Obama, and Mr. Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr.


Drawing from research compiled by Investor's Business Daily, I specified how Senator Obama's plans for the United States economy mirrored the proposals put forth by his communist father, while he was working for the government of Kenya back in the early 1960's.

Worse still, Senator Obama's socialistic ideas were seemingly being embraced by the American people. Yet the plans put forth by his communist father were resoundingly rejected by the Kenyan government, because Kenya was actually undergoing a pro-Western, free-market revolution, and Mr. Obama's socialistic ideas were considered to be a "step backwards" from where Kenya really needed to go.

In fact, Barack Hussein Obama Sr.'s plans were so extreme, he actually was fired from his job in the government of Kenya.

But President Barack Obama knows with certainty that "ONLY GOVERNMENT" can save the United States from the current recession.

It's been said that each new generation must, in some cases, learn the same lessons over and over again.

But must each new U.S. President learn - - on-the-job, no less - - how and why the U.S. economy works, while third-world economies do not?

"Change" is underway, and it's going to be a rough ride. Stay tuned. And stay vigilant.

Power Corrupts

As the government hand-out bill is hanging in the balance on Capitol Hill, my latest column from Townhall Dot Com details how quickly President Obama, members of his Adminisration, and members of Congress have abandoned campaign pledges, broken promises, and have embraced their own self-serving agendas, in this new era of "Hope and Change."

Stay tuned. This is NOT the end of wealth re-distribution in this current Congress. It is ONLY the beginning.
