You flip out way tooooo much about this guy. If he's elected...then power will swing way back to congress.
Is there another Newt?

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
You know I share your low opinion of both, but I am beginning to think that Obama may be a different threat altogether. We survived eight years of Clinton rule. McCain can't be worse than Bush, and may be considerably better on issues like spending.
Obama however is probably the most leftwing Senator ever elected. Certainly he would be the most leftwing president ever. The Wright controversy seemed anomalous to his many fans in the media, but I am beginning to think it was anything but anomalous. Another thread detailed some of his far left connections, which of course the media is ignoring. Obama, perhaps by virtue of his very unusual background, does not really seem American. He even makes a show of shunning the patriotic gestures, like putting hand over heart during the National Anthem or wearing a flag pin, that others in public life treat as customary. His signature issue in the Senate is a vast expansion of foreign aid. Of course, he supports a massive erosion of our sovereignty, whether through the UN, illegal immigration, global warming treaties or naive disarmament policies.
I used to think he might be a very capable guy who had adopted idiotic leftwing policies because it was expected of him, but I am beginning to see him instead as someone with a deep grievance against the country and a considerable amount of thus far suppressed rage. I think it could be a mistake to see him as well-intentioned but naive and misguided. He has a clear vision, and it is anything but uniting us, unless we all want to convert to black liberation marxism.
