Obama: Change We Can Believe in?



I've written before on concerns I have about McCain and concerns I have about Clinton. Here are concerns I have about Obama:

Barack Obama (BO) expounded his version of leviathan after he trounced Clinton last night. His rhetoric is so silly, it’s hard to see how anyone could take him seriously. He said his keyword “change” many times. What does that mean? Are we going to change our economic system to socialism? Some other economic system? Are we going to convert to monarchy? Are we going to give Roe V. Wade more or less support? Are we going to change the tax code to confiscate more or less from taxpayers, and what taxpayers? His “change” means nothing as far as policy goes. All it can do is remind people it’s time to change the Bush Administration (or change having the Clinton’s in the White House).

He demonized capitalism, the rich, Exxon’s profits, and our health care system (he actually said we need a better health care system in America, but I believe he meant to say health insurance system). He demonizes the rich, and he also expects them to relinquish more of their funds to finance the welfare programs that benefit everyone else.

BO believes government, primarily federal government, has the solution for everything. You fully understand this, I’m sure, if you’ve heard him speak. He has government programs for everything. They’ve worked so well in the past, haven’t they. Anyone with this ” more government is the answer to everything” mentality is naturally hostile to free markets and free people.

He may be against free markets and free people, but at least he has a better campaign video than John McCain.
