Predictions about Obama come true

Here is an excerpt of a "Letter to the Editor" I wrote nine months ago predicting exactly what an Obama presidency would look like.

Which one of these horrific predictions is not coming true?

"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, DC 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 Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, which clearly limits Presidential power, and reserves most powers to the States and to the People."

My letter above, in June 2008, was one of the first to warn you about Obama. His "tired old policies" are nothing but regurgitated failures from the past: Look at today's Cuba, and also recall the old, collapsed Soviet Union. (Amazingly, even Russia's leader Putin, at an economic summit in Switzerland last month, warned America to learn from Russia's mistakes of the past - too much interference in the free markets and too much "faith in the State.")

You must call your congressman and Senators Durbin and Burris today - before Obama's agenda is frozen into law for all future generations, and America is consigned to the "ash heap of history."
