In reality, Obama is just a Pied Piper
Some say Barack Obama reminds them of John F. Kennedy.
Actually, Obama reminds me of another character - from a much more distant past: the Pied Piper.
Legend goes that, in the 1200s, the Pied Piper strolled through the old German town of Hamelin, playing a haunting melody, bewitching all the children. Lured from their homes, they followed him to some unknown and terrible fate.
Obama campaigns from one campus to another, receiving mindless adulation. He continually drones, as president, "I will give you....." (Fill in the blank; the list is endless: all medical care, college tuition, free preschool, raises for teachers, a good job, your mortgage payment.)
What is the terrible fate? In 2007, Obama's voting record (National Journal) put him to the left of all 99 U.S. senators, including Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a self-proclaimed socialist.
In Obama's socialist paradise of the future, the federal government in Washington, D.C., will be a massive, lumbering bureaucracy, regulating (and taxing) every facet of your life.
The vast majority of Americans will be waiting helplessly for a government check.
Gone is choice. Gone are the entrepreneurs. Gone is personal responsibility. Gone is your freedom.
How dangerous that this so-called Constitutional lawyer, Barack Obama, can totally ignore the 10th amendment in the Bill of Rights, which clearly limits presidential power and reserves most powers to the states and to the people.
