Dr. Charles Krauthammer
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed
from the neck down.  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.
The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children. 

Last Monday was a profound evening; Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the
Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned
& articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never
resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an
extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has
received 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 summarized 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. 
                 


                     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. The
taking down of the Clinton dynasty 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, and 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 has surrounded himself with mostly far-left
academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they
are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries.
This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is 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 is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the
bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He
would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his
successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he
is a narcissist.

                     8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but
will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there
will 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 is 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 state's rights.

                     9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and
outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to
hyperinflation, 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 will be a dogfight. It will all
be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's
happening in Washington and Congress. There is 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.
