Barack Obama’s speech - More of the same liberal crap.

Boston.com has Obama’s speech.

And it’s more of the same liberal crap! Let’s take a look at it:

“You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country. We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage.”

Applying for and receiving a home mortgage is a personal financial choice. Having a mortgage is not a requirement for financial success. In fact, it is a hinderance. A mortgage is a debt that has to be paid back with interest to a bank or financial institution. Having a home mortgage means that a homeowner borrows against his or her home, and if they cannot repay that loan back, they will lose their home. That is why so many people have foreclosed homes. Instead of taking personal responsibility, a conservative ideal, Democrats and pissed-off former homeowners have decided to blame Republicans for the foreclosure mess. It is not my fault if someone has lost their home. If Barack Obama wins the Presidency, and my taxes go up in order to “rescue” someone that has lost their home, I will not pay my taxes for the next 4 years. That is a promise I will keep.


“I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.”

What about the capital gains tax for people that decide to sell their homes? Or sell their businesses? Or sell stocks? Obama, you have said that you will raise the capital gains tax from 15% to 28%. Barack Obama lumps people that have a $250,000 net worth with millionaires. That alone proves Obama’s foolishness and inexperience in economics. If 28% of $250,000 on a home sale is taxed, that’s $70,000. If 28% of $100,000 on a home sale is taxed, that’s $28,000. If 28% of $50,000 on a apartment sale is taxed, that’s $14,000. $14,000! That’s real money no one can afford to lose, but they will, thanks to Obama’s tax plan.

“I will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95% of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class.”

Barack Obama has voted to raise taxes 54 times. And now he wants to cut taxes for people that make $75,000 or less? I don’t believe him. Obama has a 100% rating for progressive taxation “reform”.


“And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East.”

How?


“As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves…”

Do you mean, our strategic oil reserve? Because I believe that is what you mean. That reserve is meant for use if there is a true crisis, such as nuclear war. What else, Obama?

“…invest in clean coal technology…”

John McCain is proposing the same. Next.

“…and find ways to safely harness nuclear power.”

Nuclear power is already safe and clean in the United States. It’s Iran nuclear energy “program” we have to worry about.


“I’ll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I’ll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I’ll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy – wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and five million new jobs that pay well and can’t ever be outsourced.”

John McCain is proposing the same. And as a minority voter, since this Presidential race is clearly about race, I trust McCain’s lengthy record in the Senate than Obama’s paltry two years of Presidential campaigning. I trust McCain to implement his proposals. Obama, do you even know how to pass a legislative bill?

“We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don’t tell me that Democrats won’t defend this country. Don’t tell me that Democrats won’t keep us safe. The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans — Democrats and Republicans – have built, and we are to restore that legacy.”

The difference is that Roosevelt and Kennedy were National Security hawks. They opposed Nazism, fascism, and communism. Obama is a socialist dove, who, like Joe Biden, fumble’s military terminology. Need proof?

What does Obama know about supporting the troops, much less commanding them? In November 2007, Obama stated, “Surge strategy has made a difference in Iraq but failed.” What has exactly failed, Obama? Five American troops were killed last month. Violence in Iraq is down 90%. The Al-Anbar province in Iraq, once the capital of Al Qaeda, will be turned over to the Iraqi central government next month.


“I will end this war in Iraq responsibly, and finish the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.”

No, you mean you will quit and effectively declare defeat, Senator Obama.

“I will build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear proliferation.”

On this, Senator Obama, I believe you. I believe that you will sacrifice our national security for the sake of nuclear proliferation. In the next 52 seconds, Senator Obama, you will lose the election:

“And I will restore our moral standing so that America is once more the last, best hope for all who are called to the cause of freedom, who long for lives of peace, and who yearn for a better future.”

America has never lost that distinction, Senator Obama, no matter how much you and your fellow liberals love to proclaim.
