The election is tomorrow and as I was walking into work I ran into a co-worker. As he opened the door to the office, he looked at me and said "you know tomorrow is going to be a sad day for the country." I answered him that "I know but I have been preparing myself." What he meant is that he believes that Obama will win the election as do I. However, the thing that bothers me is that no matter what Obama says that will hurt this country, he is still loved by so many.
Over the course of his campaign, he tax increases for the rich has gone from $300,000 down to $120,000. Obama said first that he would only raise taxes on those that make $300,000 or more. During the course of his campaign the number was reduced to $250,000. In his informercial, Obama reduced the number down to $200,000. His running mate then reduced the number down to $150,000. Then Governor Richardson from New Mexico reduced it even further to $120,000. If you look at what Obama said to Hilary Clinton in the primary, he believes that the top earners are those that make more than $97,000. There is a trend here but Obama feels good in reducing the number because he knows that it won't matter. Remember, he voted to increase taxes on individuals only making $42,000. Before you know it, he will raise taxes on everyone. I have said this before, he will win the race and when he gets in, he will realize that he can't do all that he said he would because the situation is worse than expected. Once that comes out, he will not cut anyone's taxes but will raise everyone's.
Also, Obama is supposed to be for energy independence. However, a president should give incentives to companies to create more energy independence and not a disincentive. His statement that companies can build more coal plants but it will bankrupt them is scary. This should not be the policy of the president. Obama believes that the government should be the largest employer in the country. This is not a good idea. He must remember that the companies that he wants to bankrupt are the ones that employ people. There is a cause and effect in all that he will do. If he raises taxes and bankrupts more companies, then the economy will get worse or collapse. He will cause this and the only way out is for the government to take over. That is called socialism. Paying taxes is not patriotic and wanting to keep more of your money is not selfishness. He will destroy this country as it was envisioned by the founding fathers. It will no longer be a beckon of light for those that want to get ahead. It will be just another socialist country where we just go through life with nothing as our goal.
It also causes me confusion as to how a presidental candidate can tell the American people that he will tax them more, bankrupt businesses that employ people, have them rely on governmnet more, and tell them he will change the world without explaining what that means and the people follow blindly. This is the same thing that happened in Germany in the 1930s and it is happening here. Our fate is in our own hands and we are killing ourselves while smiling even though we know and have been told that we are going to our own death.
I believe that Obama will win in what will appear to be a landslide. He will win a large number of electorial votes but the actual numbers will be closer. He will throw himself a big party and he should since he will have pulled the wool over millions of people's eyes. He is not a champion for the lower class but is the leader of a movement to get the classes to clash.
I so wanted to believe that the American people would, in the end, see through the lies but it is not going to happen. Obama lies to us all the time and most of us believe it. I have not believed it but there is nothing I can do to make people see it. Reason and logic has gone out the window. I heard something great the other day on Huckabee. He spoke about a high school student that got an A on a paper. She told him that she would not like it if the teacher took her A and gave some it to a person that did not do the project so that everyone got a C. This is a great example of what is going to happen. No one would be happy with that but that is the reality of what is going to take place. The supporters of Obama are marching along like cattle to the slaughter and have lost all reason and the ability to reason. For instance, Pelosi presides over the Congress with the lowest approval rating ever but she will preside over the House with a larger majority because despite her horrible leadership people still trust her to lead. It is beyond my logic to know how this can happen.
I am sad today and will be even more so in the days to come. I fear for this country and the country that my kids may have to grow up in. Obama will not take care of my kids or my parents for he does not protect the young or old alike. The only comfort I have is knowing that when Obama meets God, God will send him to Hell to be with those that believed they knew better than God. Obama truly believes he is the second coming and will burn in the fires of Hell for all eternity. I take solice in that for there is nothing I can do about it at the present time for the collective mind of America has forgotten how to think on its own. Logic and reason have found a place to be buried in this world and I never dreamed it would be in America.........
