Latest Proof of Obama's Radicalism

The Obama Administration's latest stunt is to issue a policy directive to attempt to undo the wildly successful welfare reform initiative passed by a Republican Congress and signed into law by President Clinton in the 1990's.  Read more here.

Of course, all this comes on the heels of Obama's Attorney General being held in contempt of Congress for withholding documents about a scandal that resulted in the death a U.S. border agent, an executive order by the Obama Administration to refuse to enforce certain federal laws relating to illegal immigration apart from legitimate action by Congress to change the law, and Obama's attempt to raise taxes on all Americans making more than $250,000 and his threats to allow taxes for all Americans to go up if Republicans don't agree to his demands.  Then there was Obama's campaign's outrageous charge, without any evidence, that Romney may have committed a felony in his SEC filings and a subsequent refusal to apologize.  This charge comes on the heels of millions and millions of dollars of brutal and dishonest negative advertising about Romney's involvement in Bain Capital.  Dishonest according to numerous people involved in Bain Capital who know the facts, some of whom are Obama supporters.  And then there was Obama's recent campaign statement that businesses should pay more in taxes because "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

Barack Obama is a blight on our country.  He is a radical leftist and ruthless demagogue with no respect for our Constitution or our free market system.  And yes, he is a scumbag.

UPDATE: Here is the full quote from Obama mentioned above:

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
James Pethokoukis paraphrases this incredible statement from Obama: " There is no such thing as individual achievement or merit. All success is directly due to society’s collective effort as manifested by government."

This is not a gaffe on Obama's part.  He said exactly what he really believes.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of morons out there who know nothing about how incompetent this president is because they get all of their information from his facebook page or other propaganda issued by the WH.

People don't realize that he has already raised taxes on every american and plans to kill this economy even more come Jan 1 of 2013 if he is re-elected.

If Obama is re-elected, it's over for this country. Partly because Obama will destroy us, and partly because the very fact that a majority of Americans would vote to re-elect this radical with >8% unemployment would show that the corruption, ignorance, and stupidity of the voters has reached such critical mass that there is really no hope of recovery.
