Obama's First 100 Days
http://media.eyeblast.org/headshots/5544.jpg
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Undeniably, a powerful tide is running for the Democratic Party, with one week left to Election Day.

Bush's approval rating is 27 percent, just above Richard Nixon's Watergate nadir and almost down to Carter-Truman lows. After each of those presidents reached their floors -- in 1952, 1974, 1980 -- the opposition party captured the White House.

Moreover, 80 percent to 90 percent of Americans think the nation is on the wrong course, and since mid-September, when McCain was still slightly ahead, the Dow has lost 4,000 points -- $5 trillion to $6 trillion in value.

Leading now by eight points in an average of national polls, Barack Obama has other advantages.

Not a single blue state is regarded as imperiled or even a toss-up, while Obama leads in six crucial red states: Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri and Colorado. Should McCain lose one of the six, he would have to win Pennsylvania to compensate for the lost electoral votes. But the latest Pennsylvania polls show Barack with a double-digit lead.

Lately moving into the toss-up category are Nevada, North Dakota, Montana and Indiana. All voted twice for George W. Bush.

Not only is Obama ahead in the state and national polls, he has more money, is running far more ads, has a superior organization on the ground, attracts larger crowds, and has greater enthusiasm and more media in camp. And new voter registrations heavily favor the Democrats.

Though Congress is regarded by Americans with a disdain bordering on disgust -- five of six Americans think it has done a poor job -- Democratic majorities are certain to grow. Indeed, with Democrats favored by 10 points over Republicans, Nancy Pelosi's majority could grow by 25 seats and Harry Reid could find himself with a filibuster-proof majority of 60 senators.

Democrats already have 49, plus two independents: Socialist Bernie Sanders and Independent Joe Lieberman. Their challengers are now ahead in New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Minnesota, Oregon and Colorado, with a chance of picking up Georgia, Alaska, Kentucky and Mississippi.

We may be looking at a reverse of 1980, when Reagan won a 10-point victory over Jimmy Carter, and Republicans took the Senate and, working with Boll Weevil Democrats, effective control of the House.

With his tax cuts, defense buildup and rollback policy against the "Evil Empire," Reagan gave us some of the best years of our lives, culminating in America's epochal victory in the Cold War.

What does the triumvirate of Obama-Pelosi-Reid offer?

Rep. Barney Frank is calling for new tax hikes on the most successful and a 25 percent across-the-board slash in national defense. Sen. John Kerry is talking up new and massive federal spending, a la FDR's New Deal. Specifically, we can almost surely expect:

-- Swift amnesty for 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens and a drive to make them citizens and register them, as in the Bill Clinton years. This will mean that Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona will soon move out of reach for GOP presidential candidates, as has California.

-- Border security will go on the backburner, and America will have a virtual open border with a Mexico of 110 million.

-- Taxes will be raised on the top 5 percent of wage-earners, who now carry 60 percent of the U.S. income tax burden, and tens of millions of checks will be sent out to the 40 percent of wage-earners who pay no federal income tax. Like the man said, redistribute the wealth, spread it around.

-- Social Security taxes will be raised on the most successful among us, and capital gains taxes will be raised from 15 percent to 20 percent. The Bush tax cuts will be repealed, and death taxes reimposed.

-- Two or three more liberal activists of the Ruth Bader Ginsberg-John Paul Stevens stripe will be named to the Supreme Court. U.S. district and appellate courts will be stacked with "progressives."

-- Special protections for homosexuals will be written into all civil rights laws, and gays and lesbians in the military will be invited to come out of the closet. "Don't ask, don't tell" will be dead.

-- The homosexual marriages that state judges have forced California, Massachusetts and Connecticut to recognize, an Obama Congress or Obama court will require all 50 states to recognize.

-- A "Freedom of Choice Act" nullifying all state restrictions on abortions will be enacted. America will become the most pro-abortion nation on earth.

-- Affirmative action -- hiring and promotions based on race, sex and sexual orientation until specified quotas are reached -- will be rigorously enforced throughout the U.S. government and private sector.

-- Universal health insurance will be enacted, covering legal and illegal immigrants, providing another powerful magnet for the world to come to America, if necessary by breaching her borders.

-- A federal bailout of states and municipalities to keep state and local governments spending up could come in December or early next year.

-- The first trillion-dollar deficit will be run in the first year of an Obama presidency. It will be the first of many.

Welcome to Obamaland!

Any of you people in Italy or the UK know where there is a house for sale? Would be nice if it is near a Nissan dealership I can work at.

dr256 · 10-30-2008, 11:50 AM

Sadly there are hundreds of houses for sale in London. All currently with a 20% discount over last years prices.

Although if you leaving due to the alleged policies above you may be in for a shock as we already have many of them as legislation already!! Plus we'll be taking you gun at the border.

Our basic rate of national income tax is around 25% for higher earners its 40%
Value added tax on everything you buy is 17.5%
Petrol here is still around £1 per litre, so about $1.50
Same sex marriages are already sanctioned in law and both male and female couples can adopt children.
We already have freedom of choice on abortion.
Universal health insurance is paid for in your income tax.
We have an open border policy with all of Europe, a total of around 731,000,000 people or about 11% of the world's population

Still wanna come?

dicknose · 10-31-2008, 5:04 AM

Some of those things sound pretty reasonable, some sound great. Recognising homosexual rights seems a great thing to do.

ryoung1 · 10-31-2008, 1:52 PM

The writing sure does appear to be on the wall! But, it ain't over til it's over... Then,

MelScrilla · 11-01-2008, 3:21 PM

I'm glad that there are some people (probably the majority of people) who can see through the right wing scare tactics of saying the world is over if obama wins.

The Republicans best campaign strategy is scare people into not voting Democrat but dont bring up issues because they have none on their side. Thats why you always see critisism of what Obama "may" do instead of what McCain will do.

McCain's campaign has said that the current health care your employer provides is "way better" than what you could afford under McCain.

Palin is a "Diva", "Wack Job", "Unprepared"

If we talk about the economy we will lose.

And social security will not be as we know it now. in fact imagine if the Republicans got their way and turned SS into private market investments, judging by the way everyones 401k is losing money no one would be able to retire.

The democrats like to raid SS to fund other projects. people that enter this country can get SS benefits and they never paid a dime towards. There won't be any money left by the time you retire. I'll take my "risky" 401(k) over SS.

nedro · 11-01-2008, 3:32 PM

No doubt that Obama will have the toughest job in history after how the republican'ts fu cked us so hard for so long. It's a wonder if we will ever be able to recover from their perverted greed!

lanbrown · 11-01-2008, 3:47 PM

Obama would have a tough job; not having the qualifications for it. He will tax everyone to death. He is a socialist and we all know how well they work. Think Cuba, USSR and North Korea.

Im happy that you'll take your risky 401k over SS, but would your mother of older relatives who are 3 or 4 years from retiring and are depending on it. I dont know about you but I'll take both because under the current system you would have BOTH.

Who has the qualifications. Did Bush??? I rather have someone with a higher education than someone who sits in senate for 29 years and watches mistakes happen.

lanbrown · 11-01-2008, 4:18 PM

There won't be any money left in the SS by the time you retire. So you can have your percentage of nothing. I would rather have .000000001% of something rather than 100% of nothing.

Higher education? Ahhh yes, the scholar of the constitution. He also wants to ban guns when the constitution says clear as day that it is a right to own guns. He doesn’t want to accept that fact and instead of trying to ban the guns will tax the ammo and make it so people cannot afford to buy ammo and protect themselves. Sounds like a great guy. He will have armed guards while the rest of the country will be defenseless. Have you heard Obama speak without have everything scripted? He sounds like Porky Pig in his stuttering. Obama is a puppet and the first time a decision needs to be made, he won’t have the backbone to make one. Look at his voting record. He talks change but he doesn’t act upon it.

The Republicans wanted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regulated and the Democrats said the Republicans didn't want people to own homes. Who was wrong? Yep, the people you want to see get in power.

ACORN will become 100% federally funded. For what, breaking the law? You will see special treatment given to Obama supporters.

Obama has done nothing with his political career except want the Whitehouse.

soupythemedic · 11-01-2008, 4:23 PM

I'm writing in Hiliary Clinton

.... but seriously...IMOO, niether is a good candidate. It's just a popularity contest anymore. I'm non partisian, i just want what's good for the people and this great country. Oh, BTW, did they ever get the final decision if Obama is a "NATURAL CITIZEN"? I know there was a lawsuit pending.

lanbrown · 11-01-2008, 4:34 PM

Obama is trying to get the case tossed out. What does he have to hide?????????? We all know the answer, he has it all to lose.

I guess McCain doesnt want the whitehouse thats why he ran for president......twice!!!!
McCain tryed to block a federal investigation into one of those mortgage companies and was repramanded by the senate.

try factcheck.org about the birth certificate. If you watched CNN or any other channel besides Fox you might have seen that his Birth certificate is cleared by anyone who isn't trying to spread lies. Obama is actual eligible to run for president the same way McCain is no matter where he was born, his mother was citizen so he is too. McCain was born in Panama do we need to have people track down his documents too.

MelScrilla · 11-01-2008, 4:47 PM

and thanks for trying to falsely disqualify a candidate so you dont have to run agaisnt them.

Once again what will republicans do instead of attacking obama.

lanbrown · 11-01-2008, 5:02 PM

Try again, the company that verified it was a company Obama has worked for. Not the best company to validate it.

If Obama has nothing to hide, why not just respond to the court order? The answer is simple, he has something to hide.

What about this?

Doomwitha929 · 11-01-2008, 7:59 PM

Mel the statement about his mother being a citizen so he is able to run for president no matter where he was born is totally wrong. To be president you have to be a naturalized citizen which means you were born on AMERICAN soil. You could be the child of two American citizens but if you are born in a foreign country not on our soil you are screwed. Aside from that just being born to parets that are citizens does not mean you are instantly an American citizen. If you are in the military and have a child in a foreign country you have to jump through some hoops to get your child citizenship it is not automatic.

lanbrown · 11-01-2008, 9:17 PM

His step-father renounced it anyway. He is not even a US citizen.

MelScrilla · 11-02-2008, 3:35 PM

So i guess the Government and all the oher people that checked his birth certificate dont know anything about that but you do. If the man couldnt run for President someone would know besides a right wing web site. This is such a farce that they won't mention it on any legitimate news except maybe fox news and there are people on fox that won't touch this.

lanbrown · 11-02-2008, 3:43 PM

Explain why the company (that he worked for) that checked his birth certificate and posted it was different from the one he posted. He is the one that gave it to them. So, should they not match?

Explain why he feels the need not to comply with the court? It is taking more effort to fight it than comply.

What about his step-father renouncing his US citizenship for him?

Why does he want his past not known?

MelScrilla · 11-02-2008, 3:50 PM

You show me official documents stating what you said and I will explain. I dont want a link to a biased web site that says he's muslim terrorist with a ridical christiam pastor out to destrot Isreal, because this is aligned with that same thought pattern.

And why wont Palin comply with a court order, and denies she was found guilty of wrong doing when the report said she was.

lanbrown · 11-02-2008, 3:59 PM

Here is your Obama:

Be sure to air those tires up as it will solve all of our oil price issues.

He is a puppet and nothing more.

Ha another classic McCain line tire pressure.....I guess your disregarding that someone asked him what they can do now to help save money and he said make sure you check the air pressure in you tires because you can improve mileage by about 10% if its correct.

Even McCains campaign came out and said that tire air pressure can save you money.......do you disagree or would you rather take small quotes out of context and run with them.

Did you bother to do the research on who brought that civil suit.......I guess not because he's also suing Bush and Cheney using RICO laws......I guess they should answer to every private citizen who files a frivilous lawsuit.

Screw Loose Change: Philip J. Berg, Nutbar Supreme

If you read that he is saying that that the bush admin caused 9/11 and is liable for what happened. If that is who you want to hitch your trailer to i see why you would vote for McCain.

lanbrown · 11-02-2008, 4:33 PM

Try again about the tires.
YouTube - Obama's Solution to High Gas Prices: "Inflate Your Tires".

Those are his words.

Berg is a democrat; so why is he against Obama?

MelScrilla · 11-02-2008, 4:43 PM

I guess alot of people said it also so what do you say to all these people who reccomended the same thing. and once more that is not an energy plan just a suggestion to someone that asked him a question.
YouTube - McCain ridicules Obama for suggesting proper tire inflation

Yes Berg is a Democrat and a Hilliary Clinton supporter and if you look at the timing of the suit it before the DNC. So a Hilliary supporter files a stupid factless law suit and He is the strongest point of your argument.

Should Bush make a court appearence to answer the law suit against him?? I;m sure you would agree that it's to easy to file a lawsuit in this country or is it ok when its filled with lies about people you don't like??

lanbrown · 11-02-2008, 4:49 PM

How is it a suggestion?
His words:
"OBAMA: We could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and -- and -- and getting regular tune-ups, you can actually save just as much."

That sounds like an energy plan or at the very least something that could keep from drilling. Those are HIS words.

MelScrilla · 11-02-2008, 4:58 PM

I see your good at this, only replying to things you see fit to. OK

It is a suggestion because when you answer a question and give someone advice its a suggestion.

Energy plan:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden: The Change We Need | New Energy for America
YouTube - Barack Obama Energy Plan

Now do you see the difference between a suggestion to a question and an Energy Plan, thats like me saying the McCain Palin energy plan is just: "Drill Baby, Drill!!!"

Can we agree that the whole birth certificate lawsuit is a fraud??

Doomwitha929 · 11-02-2008, 4:59 PM

No he and every politician should be immune to lawsuits etc... ANyone pick up on the sarcasm in my typing? UM YES he should have to answer it. That is what the system if for. If the lawsuit is totally BS and his lawer is worth the jillion dollars a year he makes then it will get thrown out right fast.
OK, the guy is also suing Bush... sooo this means that his suit against Obama should be dropped?
I'm done, You can lead the ignorant to water but you can't make them use their brains. If people want to be fools and throw away their rights and country knock your selves out. A few years from now when you are paying for your mistakes please do not come to me and expect me to bail you out, pay your way or get your freedoms back.

No we can't. When he shows me an original birth cert that can be varified and not a cloudy pic of something they printed up last week them maybe.

They're not my lawsuits. So why should I say if they should be dropped, that is the job of the judge. In socialism, you don't have lawsuits.

The response Obama gave is was solution, not one to save money but about drilling. LOOK AT HIS RESPONSE; he even mentions DRILLING.
