Don't be hypnotized by Obama

Posted: Friday, October 24, 2008

SIOUX CITY -- When one begins to pick apart Barack Obama's hypnotic suggestions, he finds that it is rather hard to digest his illogical, imprudent, nonsensical approach to his domestic as well as his foreign policies.

If, and I mean if, you can stomach his radical, bigoted and crooked associations, not to mention his socialistic and Marxist philosophies, the simple mind should be able to see the conflict within his economic policies. Is he so presumptuous to think that we are ill-informed enough to believe that he wants to help the middle class? He proposes a tax cut for new employees hired, just so he can turn around and tax the snot out of your company when it produces more. How oxymoron? Does he actually believe that your company will give pay increases when they are strapped with an extra 15 percent in taxes? He doesn't want to take from the rich, don't be fooled, he wants to prevent people from becoming rich. Spread the wealth around, global welfare, a higher standard of living as a right, double foreign aid, punish hard work, cap and trade, punish companies who send jobs overseas by raising their taxes, and on and on and on it goes.

Why do you suppose companies send jobs overseas? Because their taxes are too high already. When the election is over, and Obama claps his hands and the hypnotic spell is lifted, many people are going to realize how they were played the fool. -- Daniel L. Roder

" Michelle I know you are trying to plug for your candidate and there is nothing wrong with that. What most of America does not get yet is the scope of the issue we face starting when Nixon took us off the gold standard in 71, our fate sealed in 74 with the ERISA act. As an investor I have expected, properly invested, and waited for this moment for the last 6 years, the savviest investors have waited for 20 plus years knowing they would get richer when this moment came.

McCain and Obama are merely putting the final nails in our coffin when they chose to try save the economy not realizing the crash is the cure to the problem. That is why it doesn't matter from an economic standpoint who gets in office. Stock markets don't go up forever yet never before in history have so many people bet their retirement on the stock market in 401ks and IRAs. There are more mutual funds today then public companies, more sellers than buyers. Continued down "

" The dollar is a fiat currency backed only by the worlds faith in our ability to conduct our affairs responsibly. When the Dow passed 14,000 it appeared to be at an all time high. But it was only at a high in terms of dollars, against other asset classes it was falling and has been since 1999. In 99 if you sold one share of the Dow you could purchase 800 barrels of oil, before the crash only 100 barrels, this trend holds true for commodities, industrial metals, agriculturals, and precious metals.

" Why do you think economists talk in terms of "real dollars"? Because our dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore and it's not real. We are a nation of debt, foreign debt. When we add to the national debt (recently doubled) it is foreign countries taking our fiat fake money to fund our conquests and follies, prolonged expensive wars, pet projects etc. We are headed for severe stagflation and deflation (a.k.a. depression). There is a good chance hyperinflation will follow. Continued down

You think McCain or Obama matter? Both clueless parties already handed the FED all the power it needs to create massive debt. Because they don't understand the scope of the issue they will do it again because they don't know how to fix this and don't realize they shouldn't try to stop the crash. If you want to understand I would direct you to start listening to Nouriel Roubini, Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, Robert Kiyosaki, Paul Krugman, Mike Maloney, Jim Rogers, and of course Warren Buffett. The middle class are going to get wiped out no matter what either candidate say. "

" Michelle, McCain will take more money out of your pockets by continuing on with the War in Iraq, which has already put a dent in the surplus created by Clinton. That's right, a democrat gave the US a surplus. A surplus we NEED if we don't want to be bought out by other countries in order to put food on the table. Think about it. "

" Michelle, your lack of wisdom shows your age. 22ish? Yea, grow up a bit. Stop taking mommy and daddy's ideas and using them as your own. With McCain as president YOU won't be able to retire. And we HOPE you don't have a bunch of babies, the world will be in trouble with more morons running around.

Obama didn't CREATE welfare. Remember that. "
