"Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation." May of 2008
This nation has been built upon a 400 year old tradition of individual liberties and responsibilities, a free market capitalist system of wealth creation that is systemic to our Union and the only source of commercial wealth in this world. If we include our rather complicated national historicity with its Constitutionally based legal system, we have a general clime that cannot be changed without destroying the nation upon which it is built. Obama was hoping to remove the foundation stones of our system, replace them with who-really-knows-what, and move on to a One World Governance in which he would be a key player. This Op-ed goes after much more than Obama's spending. It is well worth the read. Never forget that knowledge is our only source of freedom.

Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History 6/14/2012 @ 3:42PM / OP/ED Peter Ferrara, Contributor
The U.S. has never before had a President who thinks so
little of the American people that he imagines he can win re-election running
on the opposite of reality. But that is the reality of President Obama
today. Waving a planted press commentary, Obama recently claimed on
the campaign stump, “federal spending since I took office has risen at the
slowest pace of any President in almost 60 years.”
Peggy Noonan aptly summarized in last weekend’s Wall StreetJournal the take
away by the still holding majority of Americans living in the real world:
“There is, now, a house-of-cards feel about
this administration. It became apparent some weeks ago when the
President talked on the stump – where else? – about an essay by a fellow who
said spending growth [under Obama] is actually lower than that of previous
Presidents. This was startling to a lot of people, who looked into
it and found the man had left out most spending from 2009, the first year of
Mr. Obama’s Presidency. People sneered: The President was
deliberately using a misleading argument to paint a false
picture! But you know, why would he go out there waiving an article
that could immediately be debunked? Maybe because he thought it was true. That’s more alarming, isn’t it, the
idea that he knows so little about the effects of his own economic program that
he thinks he really is a low spender.”
What this shows most importantly is
that the recognition is starting to break through to the general public
regarding the President’s rhetorical strategy that I’ve have been calling
Calculated Deception. The latter is deliberately using a misleading
argument to paint a false picture. That has been a central Obama
practice not only throughout his entire presidency, but also as the foundation
of his 2008 campaign strategy, and actually throughout his whole career.
Rest assured, Ms. Noonan, that the President is not as nuts as he
may seem at times. He knows very well that he is not
a careful spender. His whole mission is to transform the
U.S. not into a Big Government country, but a Huge Government country,
because only a country run by a Huge Government can be satisfactorily
controlled by superior, all wise and beneficent individuals like
himself. That is why he is at minimum a Swedish socialist, if not
worse. Notice, though, how far behind the times he and his weak
minded supporters are, as even the Swedes have abandoned Swedish socialism as a
failure. . . . . . . . . use this link to finish reading this three page masterpiece.
