More socialism on tap
More books have been published recently by credible authors critical of President Barack Obama and his presidency than for any other presidential election. Interestingly enough, these publications explain the president’s personal, professional and philosophical characteristics, which clearly were not shared with voters during the 2008 election.

His “redistribution of wealth” will greatly increase the number of people on federal assistance, and will expand the number of governmental employees through his planned implementation an updated version of Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps.

He was caught telling the Russian president, “I will have more flexibility after my re-election.” To do what, I ask? Lead us into an even greater government-dominated socialistic state?
