<p> OBAMA&#8217;S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT<br />
                                                      By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010</p>
<p>Barack Hussien Obama is no fool.    He is not incompetent.</p>
<p>To the contrary, he is brilliant.     He knows exactly what he&#8217;s doing.</p>
<p>He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,<br />
economic crisis and social chaos &#8212; thereby destroying capitalism and<br />
our country from within.</p>
<p> Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate</p>
<p>(Columbia University, class of &#8216;83).</p>
<p>He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.</p>
<p>Look at his Czars&#8230;anti-business..anti- american.<br />
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one,  Barack Hussien Obama is<br />
following the plan of Cloward &#038; Piven, two professors at Columbia University .<br />
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system<br />
with government spending and entitlement demands.</p>
<p>Add up the clues below.    Taken individually they&#8217;re alarming.</p>
<p>Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn</p>
<p>the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority</p>
<p>that desperately needs government for survival &#8230; and can be counted</p>
<p>on to always vote for bigger government.</p>
<p>Why not?      They have no responsibility to pay for it.</p>
<p>Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health</p>
<p>care.     It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and</p>
<p>health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).</p>
<p>Obama doesn&#8217;t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans</p>
<p>will add trillions to the national debt.</p>
<p>What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government .<br />
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill</p>
<p>in the middle of a depression?</p>
<p>Cap and trade.    Like health care legislation having nothing to do with<br />
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.</p>
<p>It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control<br />
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama&#8217;s biggest contributors.<br />
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns<br />
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.</p>
<p>They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to</p>
<p>Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.<br />
 The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,<br />
 bigger homes and businesses helps Obama &#8220;spread the wealth around.&#8221;</p>
<p> Make Puerto Rico a state.     Why?    Who&#8217;s asking for a 51st state?<br />
 Who&#8217;s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government<br />
 entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?</p>
<p>Certainly not American taxpayers.<br />
 But this has been Barack Hussien Obama&#8217;s plan all along.</p>
<p>His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.</p>
<p>Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.</p>
<p>Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America.<br />
But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted<br />
on to support big government.<br />
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,<br />
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and<br />
eventually Social Security .</p>
<p>Stimulus and bailouts.      Where did all that money go?</p>
<p>It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions &#8212; including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.</p>
<p>It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could<br />
keep paying union dues.</p>
<p>It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out</p>
<p>(after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).</p>
<p>A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).</p>
<p> All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their<br />
 bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.</p>
<p>The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.</p>
<p>The ends justify the means.</p>
<p>Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job<br />
creators.     Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,</p>
<p>redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did</p>
<p>nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).</p>
<p>Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.   With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the<br />
system.</p>
<p>Add it up and you&#8217;ve got the perfect Marxist scheme &#8212; all devised by<br />
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama</p>
<p>using the Cloward and Piven Plan .</p>
<p> True per snopes!<br />
 http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp</p>
<p>Just passing this on, I have seen some of it before, but<br />
I feel this sort of info needs to see the light of day.</p>

<div>OK folks, as a former Obama supporter,  (I think he&#8217;s brilliant, passionate, mostly fair), but this is just wrong.      Rick Emmerich</div>
<div>This letter appeared in the Indianapolis Star (which is owned by the same people who own the Arizona Republic) and was sent to a very popular Indiana Senator. This just goes to show everyone what pressure these Democrats are currently under, so continue to let them know how you feel about the healthcare bill. Bill Stough&#8212;Shock to NBC This morning.</div>
<p>An Indianapolis doctor&#8217;s letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note: Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, IN ) Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh.. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. &#8212; Stephen Fraser</p>
<p>Senator Bayh,</p>
<p>As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government&#8217;s proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.</p>
<p>I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.</p>
<p>Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!</p>
<p>Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.</p>
<p>Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!</p>

<p>Page 149 Lines 16-24: ANY Employer with payroll 401k &amp; above who does not provide public option will pay 8% tax on all payroll! (See the last comment in parenthesis.)<br />
Page 150 Lines 9-13: A business with payroll between $251K &amp; $401K who doesn&#8217;t provide public option will pay 2-6% tax on all payroll.</p>
<p>Page 167 Lines 18-23: ANY individual who doesn&#8217;t have acceptable HC according to Govt will be taxed 2.5% of income.</p>

<p>Page 298 Lines 9-11: Doctors: If you treat a patient during initial admission that results in a re-admission &#8212; the Govt will penalize you.</p>
<p>Page 317 L 13-20: PROHIBITION on ownership/investment. (The Govt tells doctors what and how much they can own!)</p>

<p>Page 429 Lines 1-9: An &#8220;advanced-care planning consultant&#8221; will be used frequently as a patient&#8217;s health deteriorates.</p>

<p>Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)</p>

<p>Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.</p>
<p>Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.</p>
<p>Respectfully,</p>
<p>Stephen E. Fraser, MD</p>
<p>Dear Reader,</p>
<p>I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people as you can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations</p></div>

<p> </p>
<p>And anyone who thinks otherwise, SHAME ON YOU!!!</p>
<p>Now, to those that supported Obama, like I did, I suggest we take a real close look at his &#8216;teachings&#8217; and ideals.  Are they going to work?  I don&#8217;t know.  I think we need and needed change, but I am cautiously pessimistic about his actions.  So, let&#8217;s see,    rick emmerich</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I hate that he seems to be willing to take away freedoms and I have never been able to accept Pro Choice since coming out of the waters of baptism.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Health Care needs fixing and Corporate Greed permeates EVERY area of government and politics.  No one may have the strength to change that.  60 Minutes tonite talked about the Medicaid (or what it Medicare) inability to stop massive fraud. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>McCain seems somewhat gracious as the loser but I can&#8217;t imagine him as president.  Palin is a nut and I really would be fearful with her having massive influence in the government.  She seems fully suited&#8230;to be a Reality Show actress, but may feel that is below her now.  Pity, she obviously needs the money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There&#8217;s no one else to discuss.  Saying that he is/was the lesser of two evils is too strong, but he&#8217;s not the huge favorite with me or the rest of the country anymore.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s imperative that we, as hard-working citizens in control of our own destiny, take charge of our lives and build our businesses and happily pay our taxes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess that&#8217;s it for now, gotta get back to work,   rick</p>
<p> </p>
<p>God will hold everyone accountable and that includes you, me and Obama. <br />

<p>Just wondering what your thoughts are now that they have been in office for awhile and you can now see first hand the &#8220;change&#8221; that has been implemented in the country.  Would you vote for him again if you had the choice to do it over?  Just curious &#8211; I am not being factious.</p>

<p spellChecked="true">Obama is from the USA and has worshipped for 20 years at a Church <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">of</font> Christ.</p>
<p spellChecked="true">When you say he&#8217;ll come from the East, do you mean Hawaii, or Chicago, or Kansas?  Which one of those is the East you are referring to?</p>
<p spellChecked="true">Oh wait, he spent 2 years in a Catholic school.  He must secretly be a Catholic, right?  One could twist it that way, as well.</p>
<p spellChecked="true">I am a Christian and what I see here is hogwash.  My <font face="fmisspellt" class="misspellet">NIV</font> Bible does not say anything that can <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">be interpreted</font> in THIS <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">way.</font></p>
<p spellChecked="true"><font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">By</font> the way, we are NOT at war with the Muslim Nation.  If we ever get to <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">THAT</font> we will lose.  The <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">terrorists</font> are a small group of radical Muslims amidst a very large number <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">that</font> are not.</p>
<p spellChecked="true">I feel sorry for those that are <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">easily</font> misled, like sheep that simply and <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">mindlessly</font> <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">forward</font> this <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">without</font> questioning.  Those that are of more noble character, <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">like</font> the <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt" class="misspellet">Bereans</font> examine the Scriptures daily and <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">make</font> sure what they are told is true.</p>
<p spellChecked="true">I will pray <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">for</font> those that are so easily misled.  It is sad that some are so paranoid.</p>
<p spellChecked="true">I am a Christian <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">who</font> is for <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt" class="misspellet">Barack</font> even though I do not believe in everything he stands for.  He is NOT the one who has anger management issues <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">and wants to drag out this terrible war and who stands for 4 or 8 more years <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">of</font> the same old same old.  He DOES stand for hope for millions of Americans who feel that their voices have not been heard.</font></p>
<p spellChecked="true">I pray that <font spellChecked="true" face="fmisspellt">you</font> all will have the discernment to see through this hate-inspiring rhetoric.  I am not necessarily asking people to supoport Obama, just to have the decency to disregard this poorly disguised racial hatred.</p>

<p>It would appear that this is headed into he convention in hot contention, without a candidate.  That means a split party, which will then put on the big happy face and try to make nice on TV coast to coast.  It means that the voters of Michigan and Florida, two different, and very key states will not have their voices heard in the Primary.  Do you think, party officials that you can get it right in four years?  It&#8217;s a little embarrassing, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>It also means that it will be a while before we get into the Democrat vs Republican contest that is going to eventually start.</p>
<p>So here we are, waiting for Obama to hopefully get enough support in PA to remain constant.  And, since I much prefer him, it would be great if he won the majority of the remaining contests.  </p>
<p>Hillary scares me, and if she is on the ticket as the lead dog, I won&#8217;t vote for them&#8230;.perhaps I won&#8217;t vote.  If he is the man, I don&#8217;t really see her submitting to being the VP candidate, but I would vote for that ticket.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the issue of abortion.  I see that no one seems to be bringing it up.  I am Pro Life, by the way, but 16 out of the last 24 years we&#8217;ve had a Pro Life president, and nothing that I have observed has changed.  So I am no longer going to make a blanket Pro Life vote (which  results in thousands more of our young people dying in Irag and other bleak outposts.)</p>
<p>Obama has a plan to bring our servicemen and women home and I believe him.  I don&#8217;t believe his opponent, who seems to have taken vast sums of money from lobbyists.  She also voted for the war at the beginning.  She also is the establishment, at least to me.</p>
<p>So there I have it kids.  I guess its important to mull it over, and we&#8217;ll all find out soon enough what happens.  What if John Edwards is the VP candidate and he brings over his small, but rowdy band of earned delegates?  Just a thought&#8230;. </p>
