Why do liberals make these incredible comparisons? Obama was raised by his mother first, and later his grandmother. He went to the finest private schools in Hawaii, and then on to Yale and Harvard. By all indications, he was never poor or even lower middle class. Contrast that with Mandela who spent 26 years in an apartheid gulag in South Africa. Obama’s name should not be in the same sentence, let alone compared to Mandela.
Obama wants to:
1. Increase social security taxes.
2. Roll back Bush’s tax cuts.
3. Piss off staunch American allies like Colombia.
4. Take away the right to carry concealed weapons for protection.
5. Pull our troops out of Iraq (or maybe not). Who knows where he stands?
6. Keep abortion legal even in the 9th month.
7. Government run health care. A true nightmare.
8. Keep the borders open.
9. Get us sucked into a global warming agreement where we pay and pay.
I see classic, regressive, liberal values here without a shred of hope and change.
