Dr. Krauthammer Speaks

Dr. Krauthammer is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. He is a fiscal conservative and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.

In a recent talk he held his audience spell bound. He is forthright and careful in his analysis and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is neither a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. . A friend went to hear him speak and the following is a 1st hand report of what he said. The ramifications for us, our children, and their children are staggering. Even two Democrats at my friend’s table agreed with everything Krauthammer said!
Summary of Dr. Krauthammer’s comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty by a political neophyte was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS;
rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are federal government control of ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION and HEALTH CARE. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got control of them as an early bonus. Cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Free college education
fir everyone is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it free or low cost and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive rationing of services, like in Canada.
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic sycophants. No one around
him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking, energy, education, health care, and other industries. This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States, but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate and coordinate various countries and
their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after
he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems from the past on Bush, and on whoever is his successor in the future. He has a huge ego and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don’t
have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent itself into prosperity.
9. The media is giving Obama, Reid, and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor
will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people were in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Democrat would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's less than 8%, the Democrats continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy.
I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. According to Krauthammer, there is a left-wing revolution going on and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and we must reclaim our country, before it's too late.
Do yourself a long term favor; send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in D.C. and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really is up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!
