So you wanna Obama?

Uh....why?  Here's a couple things Obama will do for YOU (taken from his website)  There are many points I've chosen to include to demostrate Obama's willingness to spend our country into oblivion and make sure the government (from now on abbreviated as gov't) takes over every miniscule aspect of our pitiful US lives.  Because the government is the best choice when deciding how to live your life, run your company, raise your children, and serve your fellow man.
  •  he will double our foreign assistance to $50 billion to achieve that goal. He will help the world's weakest states to build healthy and educated communities, reduce poverty, develop markets, and generate wealth.
  • build an infrastructure with countries in East Asia
  • pressure Iran directly to change their troubling behavior.
  • confront Iraq's humanitarian crisis..will provide at least $2 billion to expand services to Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, and ensure that Iraqis inside their own country can find a safe-haven.
  • provide financial support for Iraq's reconstruction
  • Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. .if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere 
  • Obama will secure all loose nuclear materials in the world within four years..deny terrorists the ability to steal or buy loose nuclear materials. How do you plan to do that Mr. Obama?
  • He will personally deliver occasional fireside chats via webcast.
  • has advocated increased foreign aid budgets
  • millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Because Americans don't have the brain power to concentrate for more than five minutes right Mr Obama?
  • double federal funding for basic research
  • increase funding for federal workforce training programs
  • The Obama plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones
  • strengthen the ability of workers to organize unions
  • Obama will also increase the minimum wage and index it to inflation to ensure it rises every year.
  • increases funding for federal and state law enforcement programs, creates new criminal penalties 
  • Obama will create a fund Here a fund there a fund every where a fund fund.  Ol' Obama had some money, EIEIO
  • Obama will establish a five-star rating system so that every consumer knows the risk involved in every credit card. Why? everybody knows credit cards are bad news.  But I'm glad he's willing to spend more money to make SURE everyone knows how bad cards are  
  • Obama will encourage banks, credit unions and Community Development Financial Institutions to provide affordable short-term and small-dollar loans because Americans have a right to live beyond their means, just like the gov't does
  • Obama will double funding for after-school programs
  • Obama will provide a $1.5 billion fund to assist states 
  • Obama will create a program to inform businesses about the benefits of flexible work schedules; help businesses create flexible work opportunities; and increase federal incentives for telecommuting. Obama will also make the federal government a model employer in terms of adopting flexible work schedules and permitting employees to request flexible arrangements.
  • As a result of climate change, glaciers are melting faster; the polar ice caps are shrinking; trees are blooming earlier; more people are dying in heat waves; species are migrating, and eventually many will become extinct.And since we've abolished all aspect of God in our daily lives, the US gov't needs to take control of the universe
  • Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels
  • Obama will double science and research funding for clean energy projects
  • Obama will also create an energy-focused Green Jobs Corps to connect disconnected and disadvantaged youth with job skills for a high-growth industry.
  • Obama will invest $10 billion per year into this fund for five years.
  • Obama will consider whatever policy tools are necessary, including standards that ban new traditional coal facilities, 
  • an obligation..covering every American..If you are one of the 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will have it after this plan becomes law...Quality and efficiency That's an oxymoron.  Gov't paired with quality and efficiency.  Why do Canadians come to US for health care?  Because of all the red tape and hoops they have to jump through to get "free" gov't provided healthcare in their own country.  Things that make you go hmmmmm
  • Subsidies. Individuals and families who do not qualify for Medicaid or SCHIP but still need financial assistance will receive an income-related federal subsidy to buy into the new public plan or purchase a private health care plan.
  • help reform the private insurance market by creating rules...Insurers would have to issue every applicant a policy, and you think that won't cause healthcare costs to skyrocket?
  • Employers that do not offer or make a meaningful contribution to the cost of quality health coverage for their employees will be required to contribute
  • Obama will require that all children have health care coverage. Because we know you don't have enough money left over in your paycheck after taxes to take care of your family's health needs, you will be required to buy gov't issued health insurance for your child.  This is not actually taxes, but, it is required that you give the money to the gov't
  • States can continue to experiment, provided they meet the minimum standards of the national plan.
  • Obama will establish an independent institute to guide reviews and research on comparative effectiveness, so that Americans and their doctors will have the accurate and objective information they need Doctors help me out! Aren't you glad Obama is going to help you?  because Obama knows you're too dumb to figure this out yourself.  Don't worry!  And here's more ways he's going to help you silly Doctors.  Read on...
  • Obama will invest $10 billion a year over the next five years to move the U.S. health care system to broad adoption of standards-based electronic health information systems, Obama will make your job so much easier by mandating that you use gov't record keeping systems (think IRS tax forms).  Yes you'll have to pay money to buy the systems (from the gov't), you'll have to pay to have the gov't come train your employees on how to use the new system he's forcing upon you, HECK why not just hire gov't employees to run your office.  It will make everything so much easier, cheaper, faster, better......oh wait.  Look what happened when the government took over airport security?  hmmmmmm
  • Obama will allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower outside the U.S  Just one more way Obama is looking out for the workers in American.  He doesn't want Americans to lower themselves to making prescription drugs.  Let the poor Chinese people do it and get rich off the drug thirsty Americans.
  • Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should Heaven forbid we keep the jobs in the hands of Americans.  Hey United States citizens, Ya'all can just go on welfare, let the gov't take care of you and let those hard working foreigners have your crappy job.  
  • legal immigrants ... keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill No No not Americans, immigrants.  You American kick up your feet, relax and wait for your gov't check to arrive
  • Obama believes we need to do more to promote economic development in Mexico Because they're having a heck of a time getting on their feet~what with all the gov't intervention they have down there.
  • Obama introduced amendments to put greater emphasis on keeping immigrant families together.So if you're here working in the US and your family isn't, go on home and get them.  Come back here and we'll create a cushy gov't job for every single one of them.
  • If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we'd see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal  Yes, Obama is serious about tax relief which is why he's going to implement billions of dollars in gov't programs so citizens will have to pay for them.  But, somehow, he's serious about lowering taxes
  • Obama will protect tax cuts for poor and middle class families, but he will reverse most of the Bush tax cuts  HUH?!? 
  • Obama will give the Treasury Department the tools it needs..close the $350 billion tax gap between taxes owed and taxes paid
  • here are nearly 37 million poor Americans. Most Americans living in poverty work, but still cannot afford to make ends meet see point number one.  Obama plans to give away your tax money to foreigners when Americans cannot afford to make ends meet
  • a $500 Making Work Pay tax credit to offset the payroll tax those workers pay in every paycheck Instead of giving workers back a little of the money they paid in taxes, WHY DON'T YOU QUIT TAKING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.  DUH!!!!  The gov't is taking these taxes from your paycheck, but don't worry, you'll get a crumb back when we think you need it.  Not right now, because the gov't needs your money first.
  • home visits by trained registered nurses to low-income expectant mothers and their families.
  • Obama will invest... and fight to expand high-speed Internet access. Because when the gov't is taking care of you, you still need to be able to get online and look at pornography.  Is this REALLY a national crises?
  • Obama is strongly opposed to privatizing Social Security.  Obama believes that the first place to look for ways to strengthen Social Security is the payroll tax system. Currently, the Social Security payroll tax applies to only the first $97,500 a worker makes. Obama supports increasing the maximum amount of earnings covered by Social Security

oh man...I've promised myself that my only comment will be that I'm going to refrain from commenting. It's a good thing I still love you....so far. And it's probably even a better thing that in the near future we will be living as neighbors...there's commandments involved there that I must keep. Therefore NO COMMENT. Just stay on your side of the road on election day, DEAL? LOL!! Did I mention that I love you to death?
