Subject: 'O'Bomb Us


Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan's strategy to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was extremely interesting and well structured and informed. He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on
global trends and the future, etc. I think he is in semi-retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well known mountain climber and adventurer.

Subject: Dr. Jack Wheeler Regarding Obama

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing
but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance. He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names
as a way to proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners.
Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah. It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue
and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obama mania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of
being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it.
The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him:
Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd. Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior.

His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American. Pass this on to every thinking American you know!

It's amazing how easily the weak minded are swayed by the fears and smears being pumped out by the Republican machine. One second they tell you to be afraid of Obama for going a Christian church for 20 yrs with the radical Rev. Wright, the next second they're saying he's not a Christian, he's a secret Muslim so you should be afraid of that. So what is it?! Is he a Muslim or a radical racist Christian? You need to all agree on the same lies because you might confuse some of the sheep out there.
**** OBAMA / BIDEN 2008 ****

I'm an Independent that will vote to give my children a country that doesn't go down the same road as Iran, France, North Korea, China, Ethiopia, Chad, did I miss any? Think about Socialism, Communism, and outright Dictatorships. Voting for change, for the sake of change is being reckless and fool hearty.

Socialism? I love how you guys faithfully look to your party handbook for talking points of the day. Think for yourself for a change!. As a person with a brain and two degrees in economics, Obama's plan ain't socialism. Re- allocation of tax burden is a constant in our democracy amd for the past 28 years that burden has shifted further from the wealthiest to the middle class and the poor. That is economic feudalism friend, and the myth of trickle down economics is hilarious, it never trickles down , it always trickles away, largely overseas. Do some real research and you'll see that the redistribution of wealth over the past 30 years is the greatest in our country;s history, "Socialism" for the wealthy in your words.

Obama is the wrong answer for our country right now. He might be a viable choice in the future. His proposed fiscal policies highlight his economic ignorance and socialist bent.

Currently our economy is in a tailspin. It is in a tailsping because people are spending less money. Consumption represents more than 60% of our GDP. People with more disposable/discretionary income spend more. If you propose to tax away discretionary income from people who earn more then you are reducing consumption. More importantly you are reducing consumption from the largest pool of discretionary income. This will have a negative impact on economic growth.

Secondly, if you reduce the level of income of the highes wage earners make then you will reduce investment in our economy. Investment represents another portion of our GDP. It also represents another source of job growth in our economy. So, if you tax the (as some might say) rich, you place a double edged sword into the heart of our economy. We do not need this right now. We need growth.

Thirdly, as our economy is in a previously mentioned tailspin, people are hurting for money and looking to make ends meet. In these times, we need access to the cheapest goods available. Obama has iterated his intention to enact protectionist trade policies via the implementation of tariffs. What this means is the cheap goods we get from global trade will become more expensive. Moreover, we know that this is a bad model to follow as Hoover tried this tactic during the Great Depression and it did not benefit the country.

Obama has less executive experience than Sara Palin and many feel she isn't qualified to be Vice President. I submit that his proposed fiscal policy iterations alone painfully expose his economic naivete and, in my eyes, disqualify him from serious consideration for the office of President.

Holy cow! They must be serving some pretty powerful Kool-Aid at the Obama love-ins!

I'm not excited by either of these candidates. However, I am concerned about Mr. Obama's desire to intensify a battle between econokic classes through continued escalation of progressive taxes. Progressive income taxes are a staple of socialism as spoused by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels in the Communist Manifesto. I know that Obama didn't start our progressive tax system, that was done by the 16th amendement to the US Constitution in 1913. However, the first major part to include a progressive income tax in their party platform was the Democrat Party in 1908. Just so you don't think me a mindless, unquestioning Republican, I will also tell you that history shows that it was a Republican-controlled Congress that offered the resolution that resulted in the 16th amendment (also in 1908). So you see the concept of taking money, through intimidation and coercion (read IRS) knows no specific party. However, continuing to make the progressive income tax even worse is certainly not good for our economy. Forget this silliness that "95% of Americans will see no increase in their taxes". Increased taxes on corporations that make our goods and provide our services will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. This is basic economics! Bottomline is the government can't tax tax us out of a recession anymore than you or I can spend our way out of debt.

This is only one of many reasons I can't support Mr. Obama. Consequently, I will hold my nose and vote for Mr. McCain.

I just cannot understand for the life of my why anyone would vote for Barack Obama. At first I was very open-minded and even considered voting for him (I am an Independent voter). But come on people! There are so many questions unanswered. We have actual footage, actual documentation, words from Barack's own lips that confirm his radical ideas and associations and still you choose to turn the other cheek. I mean does anyone here even care about our Country? Forget parties at this point, forget skin color, think of what the founding fathers worked so hard for! Barack is so against everything the US stands for. He said in his own words he is a black nationalist and will never abandon it. He said in his own words that the founding fathers basicall did not write the constitution to HIS standards (not in those exact words but close enough). Now the 1st amendment is at peril as he stifles reports, some media and decides who he will or will not answer questions for. Are you kidding me with this? What in God's name is this guy going to be like when and if he ever gets in office? And now I see that Al-Queida is waiting for him to get in so they can laugh at America and humiliate us? People! Who is running our country? US or THEM? We cannot afford to take such a risk in making Barack Obama the leader of our country! He will have the nuclear bomb codes and all the other secrets as President and to tell you the truth, I am scared ***! He has a record a mile long of mysteries, secrets, etc. If this story was followed by the media for anyone else, people would have had this guy tarred and feathered. I am just NOT getting this hypnotic, subtle brainwash thing with this guy. The youth disrespect elders and they have no clue as to what real patriotism is because they never LIVED in that era. This country has become so disappointing that I could just go in a corner and cry. If Barack Obama wins this election, it will truly be a very, very sad and dark day for the United States and everything we've ever stood for. We have always been the "power country" and we're about to become stripped naked for all of the world to see and laugh. What a shame...

Indiana doesn't matter, never has, never will. And sending links to partisan websites don't really help your cause truth be told.

The thought of Palin as a possible president is more terrorizing than any scenario in ths election. It has nothing to do wth sex, McCain could have selected any one of a number of qualified women to run as VP but he did not want anyone sho could challenge him intellectually and graduating 4th last at the Air Force Academy leaves few choices , so he chose a woman who wen to 4 or 5 colleges before graduaitng from one, a woman who is "WELL RED, NOT WELL READ". As the first major decision of his potential presidency, he made my decision for president even easier.

I am very troubled and concerned with this upcoming election. I am a Republican, but I do not always vote straight Republican, I vote for the person who will be BEST for the job. I had a son go to Iraq for a year. He has never once blamed President Bush for this war we have been in and I don't believe you are going to hear from many of our service men/women ever blame President Bush. I am very tired of people pointing their fingers at President Bush and blaming him for so much. But my main point here is that this election is not about President Bush and we all need to stop putting the blame on him and ALL Republicans. This upcoming election is between McCain and Obama. I am really hoping ALL Americans do go and vote but vote with an open mind and making the decision based on which canidate will be BEST as our President of the United States. Please reconsider voting straight Republican or Democrat. Think about do we want our country wide open for another attack or a safe country. Think about the canidate and wife that has too close of connections with Iran. Think about the picture that has been shown which one canidate didn't even put is hand on his heart during OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. Think about a canidate being sworn in to office, will it be our bible or his? What about a sealed document that is showing one of the canidates having a toast with someone from another country that he is pretty tight with. And lets not just vote in a canidate just to make history because of the color of his skin. I really hate the voting system we have with the winners being announced by electoral votes. For instance one state will declare the winner of that state before most of our polls are even closed. So actually that means my vote isn't even being counted.?. I think all people of The United States that votes that their vote should be counted. In closing John McCain IS the right man to become our new President of the United States and I just hope once Tuesday comes everyone keeps thier minds open before casting their ballot and vote for the right canidate for the job.

mackwheaton, you could at least get McCain's school correct. He went to the US Naval Academy not the Air Force Academy. But I guess if you are willing to follow Obama chances are slim you understand the differences between the branches of our military service.

Unfortunately, republicans don't really care what might be better for them as far as taxes go. I have a republican friend who would definitely benifit from Obama's plan, but she says there are more important things than taxes. And I agree. But, she can't quite tell me what that more important thing is for her. It's kind of like she is just too proud to vote Democrat, because she somehow thinks less of them. I wish people could just put aside all of that foolishness and just look at what is best for our Country and the future for our children. I feel we are really at a crossroads right now and we have such an opportunity to do something great, but fear and stubborness make it hard for people to see the possibilities.
