MIchelle Obama the wife of that candidate everyone’s been talking about for seemingly like 4 years now gave a rousing speech on behalf of her husband tonight. As this article points out she pledged that he will “end the war in Iraq, revise a sputtering economy and extend health care to all”. Apparently, those are the primary items on his Socialist Party approved honey do list. Where is Ron Paul or Bob Barr when you need them?

What will the Democrats say when/if Obama wins the election and brings our troops home from Iraq…. and then puts them on a plane directly to Afghanistan and/or Pakistan? “Yes we can… wait… WHAT?”

Obama is not advocating switching to a non-interventionist foreign policy. Neither is McCain, obviously. So what is the difference between the two on foreign policy? Nothing, except for the country they aim to occupy indefinitely. There is no fundamental difference between Barack Obama and John McCain on foreign policy. Saying Obama (or McCain) is better is like the difference between 5th and 6th place in the Olympics. Neither gets a medal. Both are still losers. Do you want to vote for a loser?

Barack’s wife also claims that Obama will revise a sputtering economy. Claiming that any President can fix the economy (outside of repealing regulatory laws over the economy) is the lowest form of humor. It’s a dirty prank and way too many of the drooling mindless masses fall for it. The market always wins. The market is never wrong. For the economy we don’t need a leader. We certainly don’t need a follower. We just need someone to get the hell out of the way.

Michelle Obama also claims that her husband will bring health care to everyone. I suppose Obama is Moses parting the Red Sea leading everyone to a health care promised land. Sure he may get the Red Sea parted long enough to get everyone moving through only to have the sea water transform in to red tape and implode back upon everyone drowning them. At that time the only government organization that will be more hated than the new federal health department will be the Internal Revenue Service. At least the former will mercifully kill you quicker than the latter’s slow painful death. Both will no doubt play a prominent role in an Obama administration.

My answer to Obama’s “Yes You can!” is a “No you can’t, but you’ll try, and in doing so, make things worse”. The only “change I can believe in” is the last bit jingling around in my pocket. At least until Obama’s IRS reaches in there, feels me up a bit, and takes it all away.
