It's been about six months since Barack Obama assumed the Presidency and sadly he's been working overtime to deliver on his promises. Being the oxymoronic community Organizer-in-Chief (oxymoronic since what these people organize is for selected minorities to cause community dissension), he is trying to bring America the vaunted CHANGE he promised, and doing so in record time. Unfortunately, he IS being very successful and going right for the jugular, trying to change the United States at its very core. America was founded on a profound belief in the inalienable rights of the individual and private property rights - the capitalist system. But Obama has made simultaneous and strident attacks on life, liberty AND the pursuit of happiness trying to socialize us, and make government (himself) more powerful and controlling than it already is.

A president can do that when there are no real checks and balances on his power from a Congress or the individual States and laws are pushed through before anyone-including the lazy or like-minded legislators themselves-can read what they are voting on. Certainly he is "striking while the iron is hot", not wanting to waste the opportunity of any trumped up crisis.

To be "fair", Obama let us know all this in his in his State of the Union (SOU) address in February. Summarizing the major SOU goals they came down to 4 things: "save" the financial system; emplace a new energy policy; reform healthcare; and reform education (again). Let's take a look at the President's progress in each of these areas and why he would think that it is so important to succeed (hint: it's not because he has YOUR interest or welfare at heart).
1) Save the financial system: this may seem counter-intuitive at first. The Democrats having demagogued and talked down the US economy for over a year before the presidential election was successful in both triggering the housing crisis through Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac failures they oversaw with Congressional oversight. Passing the largest government bailouts in history (anyone's history) they have taken over (nationalized) key elements of the financial/banking sector (AIG, banks), the manufacturing sector (GM/Chrysler/Cash for Clunkers) and indebted us ALL in billions of government red ink (read that your tax dollars for YEARS into the future) for a temporary reprieve and make it seem like the economy has stabilized. It hasn't. All that debt has to be paid back sometime and when you have the Communist Chinese and Cuba lecturing us about our debt you KNOW we're in trouble. But Obama has successfully bought off the rich and placated the poor (for now) while controlling huge chunks of finance, banking, and US manufacturing.
2) Emplace a new energy policy: simply put this is Cap and Trade or more accurately Cap and Tax. He will ration how much CO2-a life cycle gas that we all exhale and plants use - that businesses (and expect later individuals including their farm animals and pets) are allowed to use in the LARGEST TAX increase in history. He's hoping you won't notice the tax since it will be passed on to you indirectly in the form of higher energy costs (electric bills), price of goods manufactured/purchased, and replacement of cheap oil/coal energies for expensive and needless "green" energy.  Meanwhile government will control roughly 9-10% of the US economy (the energy businesses) and EVERY American since we all use energy.
3) Health sector reform: This is currently being "debated" as in need of massive change though polls of the public clearly demonstrate otherwise. Estimates are that this sector, currently a world leader in terms of responsiveness and quality, is roughly another 15% of the US economy. Under "Obama-Care" experts expect massive government controls, rationing (and waiting) for health care ala Canada and England or more appropriately like Cuba, China, and the defunct Soviet Union. They already vilifying doctors (small businesses in their own right) and drug companies. Expect the "nanny-state" to kick in big time in not only telling you how bad smoking and drinking are for your health but dictating what foods you should and shouldn't eat and at what point you are too old to be "worth" performing an operation on versus giving you a pain killer so you can just go quietly in the night.
4)  Education reform: Not that teacher union controlled public-education hasn't already caused enough damage to "young skulls full of mush" we need to throw even more money down rat-holes to entitle every child an education not just through high school but now through college whether they are a US citizen or not. Lofty goals, however needless or impractical, shouldn't stand in the way of indoctrinating the next generation of "dependants".

Hope and Change aren't always a good thing especially when it's un-American. Take action NOW to contact your representatives and let them know how YOU feel and get ready now to make the changes needed for the 2010 elections.
