Obama's record is the most liberal in Congress

| October 27, 2008 9:00 PM

An intelligent president is an asset if coupled with common sense and American values. Obama is intelligent, an excellent speaker. Marx and Lenin whose leftist, socialist doctrine Obama follows were also intelligent. Hitler was a powerful speaker, in tough times promising Germans change which they surely got.

Obama's legislative record, both in Illinois and  in the U.S. Congress, shows he is the most leftist, socialist in Congress. Obama knows smart guys like terrorist Bill Ayers and world order socialist George Soros. Birds of a feather flock together.

Obama wants public health insurance like Canada's. Someone must pay for this huge entitlement. Look for higher taxes and/or rationing of services. Canada experiences inordinate delays in critical surgeries, quality reduction, causing Canadians to come here.

Socialism fails. Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) failed. China and Russia prospered after the introduction of capitalism. Even socialist model, Sweden is moving away from socialism due to cost.

Obama supported by a leftist led and dominated congress results in a giant step into socialism, higher taxes, big brother/vast government expansion, a longer recession, subordination of U.S. sovereignty to the U.N., and a welfare state not known since 1933.

Those voting for Obama's change should know they may get far more than they ever imagined and leapt from the frying pan directly into a very hot fire.
