There would have been no effort if he hadn't screwed up so terribly on the answer to the preplanned question lobbed at him during his news conference. As it is, it provided a photo-op that he hopes will give him a pass with the public.
I am learning that my fears about this socialist were not strong enough. He is also a racist, and prejudiced in most situation. I doubt that my ancestors had this in mind while they were fighting for this country. Let's vote him out of power on the midterms, and then get him out of office in 3.5 more years.

Hardpan did not you know you can only be a racist if you are white.

Be forewarned on what is happening ..
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.
You would do well to read and pass this along to EVERYBODY that loves
his country. This is VERY serious for the direction of our country. The
ramifications are staggering for us & our children.
To my Friends & Associates:
Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer
speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his
analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a
fearmonger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is
a fiscal
conservative, and has 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 shared this
with many of you and several have asked me to summarize 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.
A 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’.
Taking down the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte 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 to change
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 or Canada.
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, &
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’s surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No
one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they’re going to try
and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This
obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama’s 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’s now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and
pain) will not ‘come due’ until after
he’s reelected in 2012.
He’d like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and
hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Mr.
Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge
strong. We're ‘pining’ for another Reagan, but there’ll 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’s 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 states’ rights.
9. The current level of
spending is irresponsible and outrageous.
We're spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyper
inflation, 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’ll be a dogfight. It’ll all be about the
economy.
I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in
Washington and Congress. There’s 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
