A great read for all you political junkies out there!!

I don't know if you guys follow Dr. Charles Krauthammer like I do, but, a friend forwarded me a summary of a speech he gave recently, and he gives his views on Obama and the political landscape. I found it very interesting, and thought I would post it for you to read if interested. This guy is a panelist every evening on Fox News. I can miss the news, but, I HAVE to watch Dr. Krauthammer. He is brilliant!

Dr. Krauthammer is frequently on the Fox News Channel. He is an M.D., a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer . He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

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 nor 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....



Summary of his comments:

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 tochange 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 orCanada .

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.

Trump has an agenda

Jamin....Good Krauthammer articles on snopes. Thanks for passing those along.

Also, I am not surprised Dr. Krauthammer said the summary of his comments was not accurate or authoritative. I am sure he wants to protect his brand, and not have "bootleg" copies of what someone "thought" they heard him say out there. He never publishes his comments made at private meetings according to the disclaimer. So, we will probably never know exactly what he said. Plausible deniablity on his part!!

But, in reviewing the content of the summary above that I posted, I find them to be fairly accurate based on how the past several years have unfolded, regardless of Krauthammer putting out his "disclaimer". We could probably have a good debate by going through each point and discussing the merits of each to see if we see the same things. We may have to do this at the "Beer Summit".

Speaking of which, I am not sure yet, but, I may be in Madison on Wednesday night with a business colleague. I need to confirm a few meetings tomorrow. If we do make it there, we would be more than happy to buy you a cold one....or two if you are around. Anybody else in Madison Wednesday night??

Hi Dave,

I'll definitely be around on Wednesday. Meeting somewhere downtown is best for me per limitations of transport, but might be able to swing getting somewhere else. Let me know what your plans are!

Best

Jamin....Will keep you posted. If we get to Madison, I would stay right downtown at the hotel overlooking the lake, and then walk to the Great Dane.    

Lee....I like O'Reilly as well. I just wish he wouldn't interupt his guests so much. Drives me crazy! The one guy on Fox I cannot watch is Glenn Beck. Nice guy, but, just such a dire message all the time.

Heck, I am such an open-minded guy, I even watch MSNBC to get a "fair and balanced" view of the news. I have noticed though, they really don't seem to care for conservatives too much

Great Dane would be perfect. I'll pay attention for updates.

When I watch Beck I often wonder who his target audience is... dire might even be too positive a spin for the whoppers he throws out there!

Say what you want about Glenn Beck, he does his research and if you actually listen to his radio program or watch him on Fox you will hear him tell you to do your own research and do not take his word for it.
If you think he is being less than truthful, prove it with facts, not dribble from some nose picker on MSNBC.

This was released today on Beck's website, it's about how the SEIU is planning to take down Jp Morgan Chase and collapse Wall Street to destabilize the country and redistribute wealth and it is in their own words.


you can read it here

it appears that his voodoo works. he has the same gift as Koresh, Jones and Limbaugh has

Just like Ed, Chris, & Rachael? How are they doing since they lost their leader Keith?

Well, we know one thing about them. They don't have to clean up the foam that drouled from KO's mouth anymore since he left He was one intense guy!

By the way, on Beck....I thought I heard something on the radio today indicating he may be getting ready to leave Fox News. Supposedly he has lost 30% of his audience over the past year. Not sure if its true or not. Wouldn't be surprised though.

B-b-b-but it's his fault ... he started it".....a must read







The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.


So once more, a short civics lesson.


Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.


Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011.


In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.


For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.


And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:    (below)




If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.


If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.


In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.



There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!   

This is your chance to make a difference.

I saw news clips of Donald Trump on "The View" today. He is calling out Barry and wants to see his birth certficate. He thinks there is something there he doesn't want people to see. Way to go Donald. Hell, he is the only one of the bunch that has the testicular fortitude to be president. I don't think he'll run, but, I like him. He calls it like it is.

Even the women running on the Republican side have more "guts" than the men (other than Trump). Michelle Bachman from Minnesota rocks!! Pertier than a speckled pup too!
