Obama: Is Paying for "Skyrocketing" Electricity Rates Patriotic, Too?

Do you use electricity in your home?

If so, get ready to pay A LOT more for your electricity under president Barack Obama.

In Obama's own words, under his plans, "electricity would necessarily skyrocket."

Obama's plans would "bankrupt the coal industry;” Again his own words.

Where the U.S. creates more than 50% of its electricity from coal, "bankrupting the coal industry" would devastate electricity rates in this country.

Obama's camp defends these suggestions stating that Obama is talking about the "need to transition from coal burning power plants built with old technology to plants built with advanced technologies."

So, until these new technologies become available, open your checkbook and get ready to pay more to light your house, run your computer, play those video games, and in many cases, heat your home.

It's not too late.

Vote N'Obama on November 4.

Is Obama Ready for a "Crisis?"

As I mentioned yesterday, and has been discussed in the partisan press (though not nearly enough), Sen. Barack Obama's vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden all but promised a "generated international crisis" after Obama's presumed election.

I now hear pundits, bloggers and "journalists" discussing whether Obama would be ready for the crisis.

That's not the question to ask!

The question to ask is: Why elect a president whose very election will guarantee an 'international crisis' strikes us?

I don't want an international crisis! I don't want to know if Obama has the "mettle" to endure a crisis. How do we prevent this crisis from happening, Joe???

Seems simple to me: Vote for the guy whose national defense policy mirrors the policy of the current president, on whose watch there has been no "generated crisis" from The Middle East or Russia for the last seven years!" Vote John McCain.

Interesting note, the CNN story somehow failed to mention Biden's saying the crisis would come from the Middle East or Russia. Hmmmm. (Nope, no liberal bias here!)

Biden Hints at Impending "International Crisis"

At a fundraiser on Sunday, vice-presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) suggested that a President Barack Obama would be "tested" by a "generated international crisis" from the Middle-East or Russia within six months of his election.

"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy...Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

As the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden has access to top secret national defense intelligence. What exactly does he know, and what does his saying it mean?

More enigmatic is his hint at an Obama response to the crisis:
"And (Obama's) gonna need help. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Is Biden talking to the (presumably) left-wing supporters at this fund raiser, or is he asking for the help of all of the American people?

Is he hinting that Obama's response would be aggressive, disappointing the left-wing anti-war crowd; or would Obama's response be tepid, disappointing Middle America?

Is he telling us that electing President Obama equals asking for a terrorist attack? Would this "crisis" focus on Obama himself or the U.S. as a whole? A military attack or a financial hit?

Is he tipping his hand to the presumed makers of this crisis that we are onto them and they should not proceed?

"The world is looking," he announced.

Does this mean "the world" does not fear Obama or see him as a strong leader, one who could help his country survive such an event? Does this mean the world sees Obama as weak, and is licking their chops at the chance to attack an Obama-led U.S. rather than a U.S. in the hands of Bush or McCain?

Is Biden, himself, suggesting that Obama is weak, and giving us yet another reason to vote against him.

Or, is he suggesting that the world is misunderestimating Obama at its own peril?

Please comment below and let me know what you think. This is a very interesting development....

Obama Admits His Socialist/Marxist Policies

As I told you several weeks ago, Sen. Barack Obama is finally coming to terms with his Marxist/Socialist tendencies.

In a now-famous conversation with gentlemen come to be known as "Joe the Plumber," Obama said this:
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

Well, not exactly. That was Karl Marx, the philosopher upon whose thinking Communism has developed. Barack is not that far away from Marx.

Joe, it seems, wants to buy the plumbing business where he has worked. However, he fears, in his new position, Obama's tax plans would cost Joe dearly.

It's not that I want to punish your success, Obama told Joe. But, Obama will punish Joe anyway.

This country was was built and has thrived on individuals who work hard and take chances. Obama wants to punish those individuals for those very actions.

I don't mind paying a little more (in taxes), Obama told the crowd at the third presidential debate. Good for you, Barack. You do that; you pay more and leave the rest of us alone. That is what charities are for. Of course, Barack don't know much about charity.

At least no one can question Obama's patriotism!

I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody, he told Joe.

Obama is finally admitting -- in his own words -- that he wants to take money from people who are successful and give it to those who are less-so.

Maybe we should leave Joe alone and let him spread his wealth to his employees for putting in a hard day's work instead of turning the "wealth" over to the government to distribute as they see fit!

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

Or, to think of it in another way: Those who can, pay more taxes; those who can't, get more handouts.

McCain Wins Third Debate in a TKO

I know my opinion is not in-line with all the pundits in the partisan press, it is clear to me that Sen John McCain clearly won the third and final U.S. presidential debate.

(A quick review of the Internet sites of some major media outlets will tacitly confirm McCain's victory. Look at the MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, Boston Globe web sites; stories of the debate are buried, if present at all. )

Throughout the night, McCain had Obama on the defensive, criticizing Obama for his desire towards "spreading the wealth" among the people, taking more tax dollars from the successful and giving it to the less-so.

Joe was trying to realize the American dream, McCain challenged, referencing a gentleman who spoke with Obama a few days ago. We're going to take Joe's money, give it to Senator Obama and let him spread the wealth around.

McCain followed with a quip reminding us that the Obama and Democrats have a low threshold for defining someone as rich. Congratulations, Joe, you are rich. He probably didn't even know that.

Obama criticized McCain for suggesting an across-the-board spending freeze, a move put in place in New York City (and in households across the nation), preferring to take a scalpel to the budget.

However, when pressed on what programs he will cut, after 20 months on the campaign trail, Obama STILL cannot name a single item that he will cut. He continues to throw the suggestion that he will go line-by-line through the budget to cut programs that don't work, with no hint of what those might be.

McCain followed with a reminder about Obama's proposed $830 billion in new spending plans.

When told that the U.S. has the highest per-student cost for public education, Obama responded by stating that we need more money in education, standing steadfastly against any voucher program, despite McCain's claims that the voucher program in the Washington D.C. school system is popular and successful.

Obama's strongest point came when defending his healthcare plan, emphasizing that people will save more money on his plan than on McCain's. He is offering folks with no health insurance to sign up for the plan Congress has; he thinks that people should have the same healthcare as the legislators. Except, regular folks won't get it for free.

When asked directly by McCain how much Obama would fine people who don't subscribe to his health insurance plan, Obama will still not tell us. Likely, because he doesn't want us to know!

While McCain did not sufficiently highlight Obama's associations with the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the vote-fraud campaign of the group ACORN, McCain did remind us all that Obama gave $832,000 from his campaign coffers to ACRON that has gone to fund the group's "get-out-the-vote" campaign -- an effort that has resulted in massive voter registration fraud. Obama never apologized or expressed regret for that donation (not to mention that he lied on his campaign finance reports about the donation), nor did he condemn their tactics.

However, Obama faltered on the topic of Supreme Court judges. When asked, McCain emphatically announced that he would have no "litmus test" for judicial nominees regarding the Roe v Wade abortion "rights" case, despite his feeling that the ruling should be overturned.

Obama, who supports pretty much every form of abortion -- including abortions paid for by the tax-payers, dodged the question, never answering the question. A clear indication that he would have a precondition for his judicial nominees.

And finally, finally (!!), McCain told Obama and all the Democrats that he is not, in fact, George Bush:
Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you want to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.

Throughout the night, as he has throughout his campaign, Obama continues to avoid discussing the details of his plans for the country, preferring instead to throw out the now-tired canard that we can't have the same failed policies and the same failed politics of the past eight years.

About the only thing certain that Obama will do is raise taxes. He told us last night that he doesn't "mind paying a little more (taxes)." I don't know about you, but I would rather spend my earnings on my family, not on Washington D.C.

McCain answered my concerns by demanding: "Nobody likes taxes. Let's not raise anybody's taxes."

Amen, Senator.
