No way, no how, no Barack Obama

I just saw a breaking AP news story that Russian President Dimitry Medvedev is warning that his country may respond to a U.S. missile shield in Europe by military means.

Barack Obama is not qualified to lead the free world in these times of serious danger.

We need a commander in chief who is feared by terrorists and radical world leaders like Medvedev, Mahmoud Ahmadi - Nejad, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Il and others.

Obama is better qualified to be the president of France or any of our other European socialist friends than to be president of The United States of America.

Obama's vision of change frightens me. We are not a socialist country. Our government can't even run the post office. It certainly doesn't belong in the health care and preschool business or any other business except the business of protecting us from radical-Muslim terrorists who want to destroy our way of life.

We do not need or deserve the higher taxes and changes that would occur if Obama were to lead us into a cradle-to-grave social services role for our government.

When you vote in the presidential election in November, please be an intelligent voter and cast your vote based on the qualifications, policies and positions of the candidate on the issues, not on their personality, speaking ability, or other irrelevant factors such as race or religion.
