Obama History

"You supported Barack Obama in 2008. Why? Did you miss something?"

Last night on Hannity, that question was asked of Daniel Hannan, Member of European Parliament,who has been very critical of the policies of the U.S. government these last three years. He maintains that America is just a few years behind Europe in the financial crisis, just a few years behind Greece. Mr. Hannan is very conservative fiscally. Why did he support Barack Obama in 2008? Did he miss something?

"Part of that was I was incredibly underwhelmed by the Republican Party by the end of 2008. They had become a party of big spending, big deficits, bailouts, nationalizations. So I thought, how much worse can it get? Well, I had no idea how much worse it could get." ARE YOU LISTENING, REPUBLICANS? Mr Hannan says that one reason Obama won in 2008 was because the Republican Party was UNDERWHELMING. That is a very kind, British way of saying the Republican Party had nothing to offer different from Barack Obama. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party are birds of the same feather. Maybe there is a difference in the colors of the feathers, but they are the same species, "RULING CLASS", a class unto themselves, separate from the rest of the country. The Republicans are not really different from the Democrats, except the Republicans may not be so bold, so intense. They are just a mild form of the Democrats, Democrat-lite. In some ways, that makes them even worse than the Democrats, because they hide behind the skirts of the Democrats and then expect the voters to support them. What a crock!

Republicans, if you want the support of the grassroots movement, you better come out from behind the skirts of the Democrats. If you don't, the grassroots movement will move on without you, indeed opposed to you. Is that what you want? Stop supporting big government! Stop supporting government regulations for our lives! Stop using government to force your agenda down the throats of the American people! SHRINK GOVERNMENT!
