Obama Subdues Economy

The premise of American exceptionalism was built on liberty, of course, but also on industry and thrift. Supporting one's family was regarded as a necessity and building the family nest egg, as a virtue. All this is being altered dramatically and quickly by the boy socialist who is living up to his promise to be the agent of change. Germany changed dramatically and quickly once from the decadence of Wiemar to the brutal totalitarianism of Hitler. Throughout history, change has often proven to be for the worse. Obama will be a transformative figure-he will take us from the most prosperous, freest nation there has ever been, to march in lockstep with the crumbling socialist countries of Europe. There is no prospect whatsoever that the just-passed stimulus bill will end the recession so Obama will demand more expensive, more intrusive measures to bring the economy back from the brink. While causing a depression and/or inflation the likes of which the country has never seen, Obama and his minions backed by his propagandists in the old-line press will say we are moving too slow and trying to grow the economy out of trouble "on the cheap". They will succeed in whatever demented leftist proposition they want including socialized medicine but this will not stem the tide of worsening recession, only exacerbate it. God help us.
