Is it too late?
With just a day to go more Obama news of frightening proportion is making the rounds. The obvious question is: why now? Are these just last ditch efforts of a conservative minority to derail Obama's election? That would be plausible if the two major stories weren't so easily confirmed by reviewing Obama's own speeches. Could the main stream press be trying to cover their collective asses after spending the past year crowning Obama king of the world? Have they suddenly realized that they've helped bring us to the edge of the abyss? Who knows? It's hard to tell if even these stories will matter now. In any event here they are:
1st
Move over Patriot Act, step aside Department of Homeland Security, if you thought those atrocities were bad now we have Obama's Gestapo. At approximately 16:50 into this video Obama calls for the establishment of a National Civilian Security force as large and well funded as the US military. What? The FBI, US Marshalls, ATF, Secret Service, Capital Police and who knows how many other armed federal agencies weren't enough!?
and just to fuel your suspicious nature, consider that the official transcripts of this speech as published in the Wall Street Journal and Denver Post, do not include those lines.
2nd
Coal. Now, in this context I don't really care what you think of coal power. The issue at hand is the deceptive pandering that Obama and Biden have engaged in on this subject. On one hand Obama is telling the San Francisco Chronicle he will bankrupt the coal industry. (transcript here)
On the other hand his campaign is running commercials expressing his solidarity with Illinois Coal miners and promising them he'll pursue clean coal technology.Labels: bailout congress senate house despicable conservative, barrack, coal, deception, democrat, gestapo, obama, president, republican, socialist
