Socialism thy name is Barack Hussein Obama:
Mr. Obama unveiled much of his economic strategy in Wisconsin this week: He wants to spend $150 billion on a green-energy plan. He wants to establish an infrastructure investment bank to the tune of $60 billion. He wants to expand health insurance by roughly $65 billion. He wants to “reopen” trade deals, which is another way of saying he wants to raise the barriers to free trade.
He intends to regulate the profits for drug companies, health insurers, and energy firms. He wants to establish a mortgage-interest tax credit. He wants to double the number of workers receiving the earned income tax credit, the EITC, and triple the EITC benefit for minimum-wage workers. The Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion. And tax hikes on the rich won’t pay for it. It’s the middle class that will ultimately shoulder this fiscal burden in terms of higher taxes and lower growth. Read the rest of this entry »
So a kid walks into a college campus and guns down a half dozen people who had been forced to forfeit their lives because the state will not allow them to protect themselves, and what does Obama say about it?
Before speaking to a rally here, Obama said the nation must do a “more effective job of enforcing our gun laws, strengthening our background check system, being able to trace guns that are used in violent crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers — so that we can crack down on them — closing gun show loopholes.”
Obama said he believes in the Second Amendment, but that there is plenty of room for added gun regulations. “There is an individual right to bear arms, but it’s subject to commonsense regulation,” he said.

Do ya think we will hear too much about this endorsement from the MSM? (Cartoon courtesy of Red Planet Cartoons)
More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees issued a statement Monday supporting Democrat Barack [Hussein] Obama’s presidential bid.
”We are at a critical point in the presidential campaign, and as lawyers who have been deeply involved in the Guantánamo litigation to preserve the important right to habeas corpus, we are writing to urge you to support Senator Obama,” the lawyers said in an open letter dated Monday.
Lawyers signing it included partners from major U.S. law firms and small-town practitioners as well as Michael Ratner, whose New York Center for Constitutional Rights has for years coordinated legal efforts to provide representation to each of the men held without charge at the offshore prison compound in southeast Cuba…

UPDATE: 7 PM EST Projection: Barrack Hussein Obama WINS SC!
The spectacle of a former President stumping South Carolina stirring up racial animosity would be a HUUUGGEEE scandal if the President doing it were a Republican!
Writing at 5 PM EST on Saturday, we’ll know the results of the Democrat primary in South Carolina in a few hours. While most of us have been distracted dealing with the GOP race, it’s important to consider what is happening on the other side as it’s likely just a warm up act for what we will see in November.
After McCain won the SC GOP primary, attention quickly turned to the Democrats. The air waves immediately filled with commercials by Barrack Obama promising to rob from the rich and give to the poor. That’s not so far off what Hillary and John Edwards were promising as they each marked out a socialist campaign platform.
But the real story was Bill Clinton campaigning all week in the state while his wife was elsewhere as if that would fool the voters into believing she wasn’t responsible for what he was doing. Read the rest of this entry »
