Running on his record--Obama

Obama can't be blamed for Europe's very serious economic crisis--they are socialists and they did it to themselves. I do blame him for his promises during the 2008 campaign, which so frightened America's business community, particularly smaller businesses, that you could see them shuttering their plans for expansion, hiring and investment as soon as he was chosen the Democrat candidate in July 2008. Add to that the hostile take over of Congress by the Democrats in January 2007, and we had 2 full years of weak investments and tightening of belts before he ever took office. The crazy mortgage crisis was bi-partisan--putting people into mortgages who couldn't afford them benefitted banks and politicians like Frank and Pelosi, and utopian fantasies that the left has saddled us with since the 19th century and can be credited to Carter, Clinton and Bush, not Obama.

Obama is a progressive (the popular word), a socialist (not so popular) which is just the foundation for communism, the word that's never spoken because it's so old fashioned and discredited these days. He hasn't been in power long enough to be blamed for everything that's wrong in Washington, but look at his Illinois record, his Senate record, his associates and his appointments, and you see a pattern; you see basic values (the government is the solution to everything) and crony capitalism. Philosophically and economically, he's the love child of Saul Alinsky and George Soros. In a way, it's unfair to make him run on his record, but he's the one who elevated the blame game to Super Bowl proportions, who never takes responsibility, who saddled business with an unworkable health bill that no one read, who's such a narcissist he actually thinks he's the 4th best President in our history!!!! He puts himself above Washington, Jefferson and Adams. OMG!! The man has a lose screw and even his most devout supporters realize this now. He can't be trusted with the economy.
