Obama’s communist tendencies, his embrace of leftist ideas/solutions, and his evident hatred of America and the freedoms and prosperity we were blessed with shows up again in his speeches. This man is a serious threat to our liberties and way of life.

Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
He also attacked McCain’s plan for a gas tax holiday to cope with rising pump prices, which Clinton supports, as well as his other environmental plans, saying the Republican had consistently opposed fuel efficiency standards.
“For him to come to Oregon as an environmental president, but his big strategy is to do more drilling and to have a gas tax holiday for three months, that’s a phony solution,” he said.

To a socialist/communist, any government plan that allows people to keep the money they earned and spend as they please is deemed as a “phony solution.” To these communists, “real solutions” are only (a) progressive and punitive taxation and regulation of productive and responsible companies and individuals and (b) massive government handouts that make people wards of the state and subsidize “favored” and “non-competitive” industries.
Obama’s leftist ideals and mentality are frightening. If this statist becomes president, America will be in serious trouble. It’s bad enough McCain is a liberal Republican and is faking it as a conservative, but Obama is much, much worse.
