Obama's talk is just a little too slick and people are being duped by him. This is what he does. Don't fall for it.

• The Bush tax cuts will expire in 2010. Obama and the Democrats will let them expire. No, Obama is not "raising taxes" but there will be a tax increase. This increase IS on the middle class. If you make less than $250k, you will get this tax increase with Obama's tax plan.

And is he now saying $200k instead of $250k? So why not $100k?

Why is Obama's new government going to put a cap on success? He's not just taxing the rich.

Redistributing the wealth is Socialism. I don't care if Biden can't handle being interviewed about it (wimpy VP). We got clued into it when Obama had to answer to an average American, Joe the Plumber. It snuck out. So that's just what snuck out because someone actually besides the big media actually questioned Obama on his economics. People need to compare Obama's and McCain's economic plans.

The stock market's going crazy right now. People that run businesses are scared about what Obama has planned. They're hanging onto their money and don't want to do anything until after the elections. If Obama is elected, then things will change drastically for them. Yeah, I said "change" which is Obama's theme. It's a bad change.

People who actually go beyond just listening to Obama's TV ads and beyond watching NBC News and really look at Obama are scared. I've talked with them. They're freaking out because it seems like Obama supporters have drunk the Kool Aid and are sucked into the overly spun and twisted view of Obama that is out there. These Obama supporters say they think Obama gets it and will bring on the change we need. Oh, it's change alright...

• The guy has questionable associations with people. Ok... 1-2 skeletons in your closet, fine. Nobody's perfect. But multiple bad associations keep coming up with Obama. And that's just what we know about. There have to be more that we have no idea about yet.
  • Obama essentially grew up listening to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama said he could not disown him, then he did (he ditched his friend for political gain). This "Reverend" preaches very radical beliefs that are Anti-American and this was Obama's mentor. That's undeniable even if Obama denies him at the eleventh hour.
• Barack Obama is the most liberal member of Congress. That's a fact. He's radical (yes, that's "change" for sure - most Americans, even the ones voting for him, are not radical in the least and he's the most radical according to his record).
• He doesn't want to wear a US flag pin.
• His wife has never been proud of the US. She said that. You want her as the first lady?
• Obama's VP pick didn't think he was ready for the job. He said that President doesn't lend itself to on the job training.
• Having a view on abortion is above his pay grade he said. Way to man up and take a stand on something. We all know he's for infanticide. Hey, I don't care when a baby is considered "born", it's a potential life so it's alive.
• He was against the surge of troops in Iraq, which was a winning strategy that someone who is interviewing for the position of "Commander in Chief" of our military should have seen. He's inexperienced.
• He was against the US being on Georgia's side when dealing with Russia. What? Oh, that's right, he changed his mind on that. Nevermind. I can't mention that or I'm racist I guess.
• Obama's campaign contributions are shady.
• Obama is a freshman Congressman. He has no experience (which makes you wonder how he got so popular so fast - like someone else is pulling strings for him).
• He wants government run health care, which has already failed.
• Obama doesn't like the idea of liberty in the US Constitution. That comes out in his book that he supposedly wrote, and also in radio interviews in 2001.
• When there's a financial crisis, he says he'll be helpful and misses a great chance to step in and be like a President.
• There was even a lawsuit to see if Obama was really an American since he has not yet produced this documentation.
• The Democrats are tearing apart an average American - Joe the Plumber.
• Biden goes on interviews, they ask him tough questions and then that news outlet is banned from the campaign. Newspapers give McCain an endorsement and those reporters get kicked off the Obama plane. Is this how they're going to treat people that come against them? Why can't they take the heat? Neither of these guys are fit to lead a Boy Scout Troop. Man up. Take the hits and then calmly respond with wisdom. What babies.
• Obama has a brother living in a hut and an aunt living in the slums. How on earth do people think that Obama is going to take care of them if he can't even take care of his own? So he must be lying through his teeth when he quotes the book of Matthew where he's his brother's keeper. Oops. No, Obama won't redistribute the wealth to you. He has too many people to pay off first, sorry. You'll be standing there with your hand out for quite a while... you might as well go do it yourself like the rest of us do.
• Obama is already lowering expectations now that it's the eleventh hour. Liar! Just say what you need to say to get votes. Get the tax money and then sock it to everyone. That's Obama's campaign ideal right there. Don't get duped! Do not listen to the media here that isn't fair. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.
• Hunters, Obama is against guns - no matter what he's saying now.
• Obama wants to bankrupt the coal industry. He also wants high gas prices. So, he says he will not increase taxes - no wait, he says that taxes will not go up one penny (which means he will extend the Bush tax cuts, right? No!) but he'll get us somewhere else. Believe it!
  

From what we know so far, Obama is bad news and not in the least qualified to lead. When you combine a guy like this with a Democrat majority run Congress, it's a deadly combination. That is just too much control for one political party. If you're going to somehow still vote for Obama (yes, McCain isn't the best other option, I agree with you there but he has much more experience), then please vote for Republican Congressmen. There needs to be a good check and balance in place or things will get out of control - no matter what party gets in there. The Democratic Congress in place now has a lower approval rating than President Bush - whoa! This Congress has done nothing and is really making things worse and worse.

Ok, sorry for the rant. There's not much time left though. I agree with McCain that the polls can't be trusted. I think McCain has a lead actually. Unfortunately, there are a lot of uninformed voters out there who do not dig into the candidates beyond Obama's commercials. I like when Howard Stern's guy went out and interviewed people and put the wrong issues on the wrong candidate and people voted on the name, not the issues. That's very scary. You could have probably asked them if they were voting for Obiden or McCalin. :-)

Obama is outspending McCain 3 to 1. He should have this thing in the bag but he doesn't. He took too long to beat Hillary, too. The silent majority will vote this year. Be ready to be shocked. Voting for McCain makes more sense.

We'll see in a week or so.

Obama recently said this number is now $200,000.

Biden said yesterday that this number is now $150,000.

Obama, Biden Shift ‘Tax Break’ Threshold

Barack Obama and Joe Biden have apparently decided to spread the wealth a bit further. On Tuesday, Obama released a new campaign commercial lowering his tax threshold to $200,000. Biden then one-upped him and brought it down to $150,000.

So if you make less than just $150,000 a year now, you won't get tax hikes.

They're lowering this tax threshold daily it seems. Wait until they get into office, it'll be down to $75,000.

I hope nobody voted early like this Obama campaign told you to. You can't change your vote, sorry!

Update:

Like I mention above, you kind of wonder what other ties Barack Obama has that haven't been unearthed yet (or the big media has chosen not to reveal):

Obama's unsavory ties

One watches with dismay as Democratic candidate Barack Obama manages to hide the truth on his longstanding, if indirect ties to two institutions: the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the US government in 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding trial; and the Nation of Islam (NoI), condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for its "consistent record of racism and anti-Semitism."

...

SECOND, OBAMA's ties to the Nation of Islam:

Obama's long-time donor and ally Antoin "Tony" Rezko partnered for nearly three decades with Jabir Herbert Muhammad, a son of NoI leader Elijah Muhammad, and says he gave Jabir and his family "millions of dollars over the years." Rezko also served as executive director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation, a rogue organization that, without Ali's permission, exploited the name of this CAIR awardee.

Again, how anyone could vote for Obama is just beyond me. I guess it shows that if you run enough TV ads, the lemmings will believe them. We're in a sad state if that's true. :-(

Update:

And look at this article published in the New York Times:

Businesses Wary of Details in Obama Health Plan

Though Mr. Obama has not released details, economists believe he might require large and medium companies to contribute as much as 6 percent of their payrolls.

That, Mr. Ratner said, would be catastrophic to a low-margin business like his, which has 90 employees, 29 of them full-time workers who are offered health benefits.

“To all of a sudden whack 6 to 7 percent of payroll costs, forget it,” he said. “If they do that, prices go up and employment goes down because nobody can absorb that.”

(That article must have slipped out or something since it doesn't support Obama. Weird.)

Business owners know what's in store if Obama wins. They're scared. They know they won't survive. I guess that will make everyone more dependent on the Government. It'll force that to happen. Goodbye Capitalism, enter Socialism.

Update:

To get back on topic:

The Obama Tax Tolls

Unfortunately, the 5 percent he has in mind is the 5 percent that has the most influence over the economy -- successful entrepreneurs, the upper middle-class, and the rich.

These are the people that pay the salaries and wages and insurance costs of most of the other 95 percent of Americans. To believe that these tax increases will not affect you (assuming you are in the 95 percent that Obama claims to be “spreading the wealth” to), you have to believe that the 5 percent to be taxed will just decide to be poor, to lose money, and not to pass the extra cost of Obama’s new taxes on to you.

Well said. I don't get how people don't put 2 + 2 together here. It's simple logic, really.

Update:

If Obama wins, watch the stock market tank. That's pretty much guaranteed. Business owners do not want Obama and Democrats to have all the power together. For example, take this Employee Free Choice Act that's out there (it's the opposite of how it sounds). It would make it so that any business out there could have a union - without secret ballot.

How the Employee Free Choice Act Takes Away Workers' Rights

Does a ballot cast in private or a card signed in pub­lic better reveal a worker's true preference about whether to join a union? A private vote is the obvious answer, but organized labor has nonetheless made the misleadingly named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA, H.R. 800) its highest legislative priority.

Recently, unions have switched the focus of their organizing operations from private balloting to publicly signed cards. These so-called card-check campaigns make it much easier for unions to orga­nize workers, but most companies strongly resist the idea of denying their employees a vote. Unions now want the government to take away workers' right to vote and certify unions after only a card-check campaign. The Employee Free Choice Act would do this and more.

And then every business would have to pay for the uninsured who do not have health care as well. Watch business go offshore. Obama's plans will increase outsourcing and unemployment will skyrocket. Life will be much harder.
