The Top Nine "Changes" Barack Obama Would Make as President

Poll
Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



#4) Pro-Partial Birth Abortion: It's never a surprise to find a Democrat who's a big fan of abortion, but Obama goes above and beyond the call of duty. He had a perfect rating of 100% from NARAL in 2005, 2006, and 2007, opposes "notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions," and he even opposed banning partial birth abortions. If you want to see as many women as humanly possible in this country putting their own children to death via abortion, vote Obama.

#5) Legalizing Marijuana: Obama, a former (we hope) druggie, who has admitted to using marijuana and cocaine, has said that he favors "decriminalizing marijuana." Perhaps you can't blame him for wanting to make it easier for people to get drugs since, after all, he used them and look how he turned out. If Barack gets into the White House, one day mothers all over America can tell their children that they'll never be anything in life if they use hard drugs and those children can reply, "Well, at least I can be President!"

#6) Handing 845 billion dollars of your money to other nations: Obama's Global Poverty Act would commit the United States to spending, over the next 13 years, 845 billion dollars more than what we already do on global poverty. Obama followed that up with a release that said in part, "It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty..." If Obama actually believes that not only is the United States capable of "eliminating extreme poverty," but that we should actually make that utopian dream a "priority," then he's far too naive to be in the White House.

#7) If you think George Bush is a big spender, you haven't met Obama: Even though the United States is already running a deficit, Obama is planning to push a whole host of new big government programs including a "10-year, $150 billion program to establish a green energy sector," a "$60 billion National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank," and a "nearly universal health care plan (whose annual price tag he low-balls at $50 to $65 billion)." If you're all for tax and spend liberalism and watching the deficit spiral even further out of control, there's no one you should want in the White House more than Obama.

#8) Amnesty and your tax dollars for illegal aliens: Believe it or not, John McCain, the Republican who is most closely associated with catering to illegal aliens, is actually well to Barack Obama's right on the issue.

Obama favors drivers licenses for illegals, wants to give illegals welfare and Medicaid, wants to let them participate in Social Security, opposes making English our national language, and he favors a comprehensive approach to illegal immigration, AKA amnesty, that even John McCain now claims to oppose.

#9) Gun Control: Obama is a perfect example of the stereotypical, liberal gun grabber. Obama has pledged to "Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons," has "opined unequivocally that D.C.'s ban was 'constitutional'," and in 1996, Obama, in a survey, "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns." If you're an opponent of the 2nd Amendment, who believes law abiding citizens shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves, Obama is your man.

OBAMA


I believe Obama is Islam. When he went to school overseas he indicated on his enrollment application that his religion was Islam. Case Closed as far as I see it. This Guy still haven't produced a valid sealed birth certificate. I really don't know what Obama true Agenda is, lets face it, with the current turmoil, no president will be do much till the economy stabilizes. I know many that are concerned with this guy. He has had too many Shady involvements with some very questionable individuals. Also a lot of association with leftest liberals such as acorn. Another question, exactly who donated all the public money for this characters campaign? I know who I'm voting for. A decorated War hero that has given his whole life for this country. Someone I can believe in and sleep at night without having one eye open. I hope Americans are going to use there heads and elect the only person experienced an qualified enough not to mention trustworthy, JOHN McCain.....


obama
Bottom line. The more I hear from liberal's the more I feel liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

I like Mathew up there. Immagine if everyone was gay and bragged about not having kids. We would what, just die off?

If we ever did lose this war against these tyrants. The first people in line to get the axe would be his gay butt. You better thank your troops for your freedoms.

Do you know the difference between a budget deficit and national debt? Clinton still had a 4 trillion dollar debt when he left office. He deserves credit with the deficit but so do the republican congress and the contract with America.

This is just a waste of my time. See ya.
