Between the time that George Washington took the first oath of office as president and when Barack Obama did—1789 to 2009, the United States had borrowed nine trillion dollars. Since Obama took office, it has borrowed or imposed nearly three trillion more debt. Tell me he is not deliberately seeking to bankrupt the nation.

In an August 28 Wall Street Journal editorial it noted that “To no one’s surprise except Vice President Joe Biden’s, second quarter economic growth was revised down yesterday to 1.6% from the prior estimate of growth of 2.4% which was down from first quarter growth of 3.7%, which was down from the 2009 fourth quarter’s 5%.

The Chacracteristics are Strikingly Similar

I was born during the Great Depression of the 1930s and have lived long enough now to find myself in a new one.

Ronald Regan’s characterization of America as a “Shining city on a hill” remains one of the most inspirational characterizations of our nation since its founding.

Barack Obama, our President, has been systematically dismantling the nation’s framework for freedom, reducing us to “a tarnished nation in a valley.”

Never before has then been such an obvious frontal assault on our nation’s fundamental principles of individualism, liberty and entrepreneurialism.

Led by Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) on the Congressional side, Barack Obama has fundamentally altered the economic direction of America by shifting trillions of dollars from the private sector to the federal government and by strapping us with an astronomical, multi-generation debt.

This economic shift creates a massive loss of freedom for the American people…debt always does! Federal control of just about every aspect of the economy has been instituted. On top of this transfer of power, taxes will be raised on January 1, 2011 for all Americans, breaking our backs.

Our beloved Ronald Reagan must be watching in disbelief and a broken heart. We now have a President that is hell-bent on creating a nation made up of economic classes, racial categories and the governing elite.

Our Two Pronged Strategy: Gut the Carp, Replace the Fish

We must either drive the President of the United States out of office or, vote him and his minions out of office in November and in the Presidential election of 2012.

In November, we will disembowel the President by replacing Congress with new Members who have pledged to adhere to traditional American values that are aligned with the Constitution and our unalienable rights.
