When the New York Times accuses you of being a socialist, you just might be one. But, in response to their question about whether he would describe himself as a socialist, Obama refused to admit it. However, he also refused to flat out say no.
The New York Times reporter finally got direct with Obama: ”Is there [...]

Barack Obama and the Price of Change
Obama’s Press Conference and the New Deal
February 10, 2009
Obama held his first primetime press conference last night to try to sell the nation on the large spending package (the one being sold as a “stimulus package”). While the nation is now facing a 7.6 percent unemployment rate, this is nowhere near the 25 percent unemployment we faced during the New Deal. And it [...]
Obama on tape: Supreme Court should redistribute wealth
October 27, 2008
I posted the newly released audio tape of Barack Obama talking about how the Supreme Court should redistribute wealth, even though the founding fathers placed restrictions on such things.
His words are incredible, given the overt socialism inherenent in them.
Hopefully this message gets picked up by the mainstream media and is broadcast to 50 million people [...]
Obama’s finance chairman is a failed sub-prime banker
October 15, 2008
Edward Sisson over at The American Spectator has an interesting piece up about a story that isn’t getting much play in the mainstream media right now. Barack Obama’s national finance chairman, Penny Pritzker, is partly responsible for a major bank collapse in Chicago. Pritzker’s bank was a big proponent of subprime lending in Chicago.
THE BANK [...]
Obama to Plumber: I want to “spread the wealth”
October 15, 2008
This past weekend, Barack Obama was out walking door-to-door in Holland, Ohio, when he came across a plumber who confronted Obama about his tax plan. When trying to explain why he wanted to tax Joe and redistribute wealth, Obama said: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure [...]
WSJ: Obama’s 95% Illusion
October 13, 2008
The Wall Street Journal just wrote an excellent piece exposing Obama’s lies about how he is going to give the bottom 95% of Americans a “tax cut.” It’s no tax cut.
First, these are a series of “tax credits” and NOT “tax cuts.” There is a huge difference.
Second it’s going to be an income transfer — a federal check — [...]
Obama wants to change the world, but has deplorable record in his own backyard
October 6, 2008
Barack Obama has set high ideals for wanting to change the world. Sometimes his speeches sound like lyrics for a Michael Jackson song. He has even given speeches around the world in front of foreign fans, such as his speech to two hundred thousand waving Germans.
Unfortunately, Obama has a deplorable record trying to fix problems in his own backyard. [...]
Obama on energy policy
September 19, 2008
Barack Obama opposes energy exploration in Alaska, and in most of the outercontinental shelf. He voted against building more nuclear power plants and supports a “windfall profits” tax on energy companies.
That is why FreedomWorks has launched a voter education effort to explain his record on energy policy. You can get a free bumper stickers, and [...]
Obama talks taxes on the O’Reilly Factor
September 9, 2008
Watch this interesting interview of Barack Obama by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. They discuss tax rates, raising the cap on social security taxes and federal government revenue. As I point out in the book, Obama would raise income taxes and raise the cap on social security taxes. This is despite the fact that, as O’Reilly [...]
