Obama Budget to Ruin USA

Breathtaking in its scope and ambition, President Obama's agenda for the economy, health care and energy now goes to a Congress unaccustomed to resolving knotty issues and buffeted by powerful interests that oppose parts of his plan.

Perhaps the only things as high as Obama's goals are the hurdles they must clear.

While tackling the economic crisis, he is asking Congress to enact contentious measures that have been debated, but not decided, in calmer times: cut subsidies for big farms; combat global warming with a pollution tax on industries; raise taxes on the wealthy; and make big changes to the health care system.

Standing alone, any one of these proposals would trigger a brawl in Congress and fierce debates outside Washington. Obama wants the proposals done largely in concert, as an interrelated plan to undo major elements of President Ronald Reagan's conservative movement.

Obama outlined the approach in a budget proposal Thursday, a sprawling road map that will require several hard-fought pieces of legislation.

He launched his campaign for the package Saturday with a fiery, populist radio and Internet address that depicted his critics as champions of "the interests of powerful lobbyists" and "the wealthiest few."

"I realize that passing this budget won't be easy," the president said, because it "represents a threat to the status quo in Washington."

"They're gearing up for a fight," he said. "So am I." - FOX News

I have to tell ya, I have been out of the Country for the better part of a week and if you think that Obama is loved by all you are dead wrong. I have talked to several Canadians who are just laughing at what Obama is doing. They say that he has said he wants a health care system similar to theirs. They hate it, if you need a major surgery you can wait up to 2 1/2 years before it is approved. The Mexican don't care for him either.

I think that it is time for the Republicans to quit playing nice and stop the damage that is being done. This guy and his comarades in the Legislature are leading us down a road to a major major disaster.
