We all must understand what's going on in our White House. This is no Kook talking here and he makes a lot of sense. Please read it all to the end.

Appointed to Presidential Council on Bioethics in 2002 Dr. Charles Krauthammer, MD

Last Monday was a profound evening; Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger or an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally. Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free....

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States, but more as a ruler over the world.. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future... We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor; send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

Barack Obama officially kicked off the 2010 campaign season with a speech to "his" people on Monday. Yes, it's true that since taking office, Obama has never really stopped campaigning, but this speech was specifically geared toward building "his" coalition to stop "those" people from regaining power in the November elections.

Outside of the overall left wing philosophy of bigger government, more centralized power, higher taxes, and less individual freedom, the way Democrats go about building a campaign has always frustrated me. "Constituency" politics is so fake, yet so many Americans fall for it. Now, Obama isn't even trying to hide the strategy. As long as "his" people vote, that's all that matters.

As noted in an AP story on GOPUSA, "Since Obama won the White House, voters of all political stripes have soured on the president and his party; his job performance rate hovers around 50 percent and support for Democrats in Congress is even lower. The growth of government and spending increases have turned off some independent voters. Parts of the Democratic base are frustrated with the pace at which the president has made change. And some Republicans who crossed over to vote for Obama now are disillusioned."

That's putting it mildly! Many Americans are stunned that a radical leftwing socialist actually came into power and started forcing radical socialism down Americans' throats.

So, in an attempt to rally "his" people, Obama sent out a web video which, as always, does not unite, but rather divides.

Give me a break! First, his assessment of the political situation is completely wrong. Obama and the Democrats passed health insurance legislation despite that fact that a majority of Americans opposed it. If he considers that "historic" then that should give Americans a clue as to his true agenda. Obama and the Democrats passed bill after bill that plunge America deeper into debt so that "their" people get a hand out while "those" people have to pay.

Second, we have Obama's politics of "us" against "them." Now, Republican leaders always talk about the need to "reach out" and attract different voters, but for me, I have ALWAYS found it refreshing that the conservative philosophy is the one that is truly color blind.

As a conservative, I could give a speech to any group at any time in any place, and not have to change a word of it. My speech and my beliefs are not geared toward women or men or Latinos or whites or young or old. My conservative principles apply to all Americans. By putting those beliefs into practice the entire country benefits. We should not seek to attract one group by saying one thing and another group by saying something else.

When Obama talks about the "health insurance companies, the Wall Street banks, and the special interests who have ruled Washington for too long," apparently he forgets that these companies are not run by robots. They are run by people. They employee thousands of other Americans. You know... REAL jobs that are driven by the market and not the social engineering of the Democrats. I guess Obama also forgets about the leftwing special interests that continue to rule Washington.

Obama is selling a product that is so anti-American and yet he was able to move himself all the way into the presidency. He's now facing incredible backlash because the American people actually want to maintain the American way of life. This is not Europe... this is America! And now that he and the Democrats are fighting for their lives, perhaps the American people can see them for what they are. In their desperation, they are continuing the same old political strategies, but this time the American people are catching on.

If Obama wants to campaign only to "his" people, then I'll gladly be one of "those" other people... the ones who care about America and care about building a country where people can succeed because government stays out of the way and doesn't take their hard-earned money simply to feed the ever-growing government monster. Are you one of "those" people?
