As the title in this thread says, I wish to paint a picture of a world in which BHO is our commander in chief. He and his campaign is all about "change", but what kind of change does BHO truly represent? Is he really a new kind of politician like he states or is he a schemeing political monster out to push his own idealistic beliefs on the rest of us.
Lets start with energy prices. A lot of focus has been given to this subject recently as oil and gas prices are hitting new records practically everyday. I am just as concerned about this as the next red blooded American, but the concern is how BHO would try to "fix" the problem. You see, the real problem has to do with global demand and supply of oil coupled with a lack of refining capacity in our own country which is required to create many different blends of fuel for differing parts of our nation. BHO, not believing that deregulation is the answer will levy new taxes on the oil industry reducing their ability to explore for new sources of oil and increasing the price for the rest of us. What is worse is BHO buys into the alarmists theory that we have a global warming crisis and that human activities are the cause. With the help of a democratic controlled congress will pass sweeping global warming legislation which will heavily regulate and tax our current energy sources causing those prices to skyrocket further. We are currently complaining of $4/gal for gasoline, but $8/gal or more isn't out of the question with this kind of new regulation. The hope being that this will help ween the American people off of fossil fuels, and that is the most desirable answer to our oil problem but in the meantime we will have to deal with these prices until new technologies become readily available.
Now that gas is at $8/gal how are you going to pay for it? You would hope that your current paycheck will be able to sustain it somehow considering you can just cut some other item from your budget to make room, but keep in mind your current pay check will not be the paycheck you will recieve under a BHO administration. BHO promises us that he will raise taxes on the rich only, those making over $250k, but we have heard this song and dance before. Bill Clinton promised a middle class tax break, but instead raised taxes on all Americans. Just recently the congress voted to raise taxes on anyone making over $31k/yr. which is far from anyone's standards of being rich. You see, BHO will discover that the rich of our country cannot subsidize every universal social entitlement program he wishes to create. You will have an expiration of the Bush tax cuts, but no relief for the middle class. BHO will use the typical political tactic of sitting on his hands as all Americans pay more in taxes and he whistles in the opposite direction acting like it doesn't matter.
As healthcare costs continue to rise BHO has promised, and will try to pass a univeral healthcare program of which all Americans can be apart of. At a glance this sounds like a benevolent answer to our current healthcare problem, but in usual leftist fashion BHO does not understand how the free market will react to such a move. As companies start to realize they can dump their current healthcare liabilities and let the government pick up the tab they will do so. This will enhance their bottom line and rid the company of the ever increasing costs of healthcare. As the private insurance companies customer base begins to rapidly decline they will be forced to raise rates in order to maintain coverage. Overtime they only people with private health insurance will be wealthiest among us, as any ordinary American will be priced out of purchasing coverage for themselves. Then you will begin to see and understand the problems Canada and the UK are currently having with their socialized medicine programs. Long waiting lines for surgeries, or to even see a doctor. No longer will you be able to hop in your car and go to the doctor when you wake up ill. You will have to make plans weeks, or even months in advance in order to see your basic family physician.
Personal freedoms are something we cherish here in the U.S. Our bill of rights allows us stand out from the rest of the world as the only truly free country on the planet. Not to mention the best(for now). Believe it or not the entire bill of rights relies on one single amendment, and that is the 2nd amendment. It reads as follows:
As mentioned before about taxes BHO ignores the the last four words in this amendment. He believes in strict gun control as he knows it from his home city of Chicago. No longer will the handguns, long guns, and family hierlooms be safe when our commander in chief ignores our rights to have them. Now I don't see him enacting an outright ban, but like in the state of California you will see an upward tick in the kind of regulations will have to abide by to continue to own them. All your guns will have to be registered, locked up, and possibly required to keep them in a disassembled form. Ammunition will be taxed to the hilt adding another devatsting blow to the average American budget. You may even see the federal government stepping on your right to even carry your concealed weapons in public. Criminals will gleefully rape and pillage the ordinary person on the street because they know they have little to fear of their victims being armed.

[SIZE=+1]Lastly, our military is the most powerful, and best equipped military on the planet. The United States is the worlds only remaining superpower, and our enemies have a lot to fear when they see the dreaded U.S. soldier coming their way. As president Obama will call for an end to our operations in Iraq allowing the insurgents there to focus their efforts on the fragile Iraqi government we left in place. Overtime assassinations coupled with a constant barrage of attacks on this fledgling democracy will cause it to fall so that they can raise their own Islamic terrorist state. We will see a nation whose main focus will change from improving itself and its people, to becoming a nation focused on training terrorists, and plotting attacks against us and our allies. BHO believes that if we simply leave our enemies alone they will drop their weapons and learn to love us, but history tells a different story. They will plot their biggest attack yet. While BHO continues to "talk" to our enemies they will put on a benevolent face and act as though they care. In the background they will push terrorist agendas to attack and destroy everything that we hold sacred. Mainly our way of life and our freedoms.
As I would like to show the bright side of a President Obama world I do not see one. Our budgets will be further constrained by new taxes and regulations, our healthcare system destroyed as we know it, and our freedoms attacked by our own government as well as our enemies. Obama is a dangerous man to be supporting for president, and please take all this into consideration before casting your vote in Nov.
