For some time now Barack Obamahas kept up a steady tide of false promises that make him on the level with prophets such as Joseph Smith. The Kingdom of God is not going to ascend upon us in January as his “prophet” Barack Obama is sworn in as this nation’s 44th President. The election of Barack Obama will not signal  an end to economic, racial, or military woes. Obama’s plan for this country is nothing more than false rhetoric akin to Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Fransisco Franco.

Barack Obama’s economic plan for the United States includes, among other things, taxing small business owners who make more than $250,000 a year. Ladies and gentlemen, the small businesses who help drive our economy are among these companies Senator Obama wishes to tax. In a recent rally in Pennsylvania, Obama was questioned about his tax program by “Joe the Plumber” who told the Senator that he wants to open a business, but Obama’s plan will prevent him from doing that. In rallies after this, Obama bashed the poor man for being a republican. Obama’s tax plan is set to bring jobs back to our country by offering corporations a $3,000 tax break per new employee. The problem is that most of these companies invest their money in foreign markets, and then never bring it back because of the taxation which would be put on their funds. In order to create new jobs it costs upwards of $20,000, a $3,000 tax break is little incentive for corporations like GE to bring jobs back to our shores. Senator Obama also blames the current economic problems of Bush’s economic policies, while completely ignoring the fact that for the majority of Bush’s presidency, the legislative branch has been democratically controlled. Among those Democrats who helped take control over both houses for the first time in 2006 was Barack Obama. A little politics lesson for Senator Obama and his apostles, Congress is responsible for the passing the budget and helping the economy. Article One of the Constitution is quite clear on the subject, the legislative power has the authority to make law not the executive nor the judicial.

Senator Obama’s attack on President Bush’s policies for the last eight years are clouded by the policies of a Democratic legislature for the last two years. Whats worse is that when Obama was elected to the United States Senate he spent all of a year actually being a Senator, and has spent the time since running for President of the United States. Obama’s economic plan for the United States will amount to doing one thing: making us Socialist. Obama has proposed the government take a more active role in the economy, which is what has us in the current problem as is.

Barack Obama’s second problem is that he is idealistic that he can affect any change in the way things are done on Capitol Hill from the Oval Office. Presidents have always attempted to change the way Congress does business from George Washington to George W. Bush. When Washington became President he took a piece of legislation over to the Congress and they kicked him out explaining it wasn’t his place to propose legislation and that they weren’t going to be bullied around. Mr. Obama seems to think that this is possible 220 years later. Change won’t come, the last President to try and create change caught to resign for his part in Water Gate. President Eisenhower  before Nixon even tried to affect change by dismantling the New Deal (which President Roosevelt never intended to be a lasting thing) but failed and is today remembered as a bumbling fool who just wanted to play golf. President Nixon was set to be our greatest reformer in the White House when the Water Gate Scandal broke. It is generally agreed that if Nixon hadn’t been attempting to make reforms, the Scandal never would have reached the Ivory Tower of the Presidency. Barack Obama should heed these warnings and realize that the change he can affect will probably only be minimal at best.

Barack Obama is a false Prophet of hope and change. His campaign is naive to think that socialism will help cure our economic woes, and that his plan for change will actually amount to anything. Obama is a man who, in his two years as a United States Senator, has received over $1 billion in earmarks, including a $3 Million projector for a local museum in Illinois. Barack Obama wants to reestablish regulation over the economy, something that will cost corporations millions of dollars resulting in job lose for millions of hard working Americans. It was the regulation policies of the Cold War and later Bill Clinton which saw jobs go across the ocean to Asia and Europe.  Further, Obama doesn’t want to control spending, in 2005 he voted against $40B to reduce government spending. We don’t need a man in office who will say one thing and do another. Senator Obama has proved that he cannot be trusted, he supports the small business as the hallmark of American ingenuity but wants to tax them. He wants to reduce government spending but as voted against actually reducing it. He wants to bring jobs back to our shores, but wants to make it unattractive and fiscally irresponsible for corporations to actually do so. On November 4th, don’t vote for Barack Obama unless you want to see false promises reign another four years.
