Folks need to wake up to Obama’s power grab

So, how are you liking the change from your new president?

You complained that George Bush was grabbing too much power and spending too much money. Barack Obama is the only president, to my knowledge, who has taken into his power the firing of the CEO of a large corporation (General Motors) and thinks he has the power to tell corporations how much they should pay their CEOs. The Obama administration has taken over part of the auto industry, part of the banking system and now wants to take over the best health care system the world has ever known. Talk about a power grab!

The current fiscal year will see a deficit of well over $1.5 trillion. Obama rammed through a “stimulus” package so he could “save the economy” and keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent. The unemployment rate is now 10.2 percent and climbing. About the only difference the stimulus package has made is to run the deficit up to record levels.

What has Obama accomplished in his many foreign trips except to apologize for his country and wave to his socialist fans?

Folks, we had better wake up before it is too late.
