Dr. Krauthammer is frequently on the Fox News Channel. He is an M.D.,
a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear
Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room.
What he says here is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering
for us, our children and their children.
Last Monday was a profound evening. Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the
Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned &
articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis and never resorts to
emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger, nor an extremist, in
his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative and has received a Pulitzer
Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly
for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his
comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.
Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like
forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid,
feel free.
Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be
underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions.
It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the
Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do
not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the
perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a
way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position,
while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch
what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to
make something out of himself but rather to change everything, including
dismantling capitalism. He can't be straight forward on his ambitions, as the
public would not go along. He has a heavy hand and wants to level the playing
field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society.
He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION and NATIONAL
HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or
financial services industries but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade
will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education
is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program because if you make it FREE
and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will
go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of
services, like in Canada. God forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around
him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto,
financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run.
Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing
short of revolution. He ran as a moderate but will govern from the hard left.
Again, watch what he DOES, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States but more as a
ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate
various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His
apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America
as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that
has at times made errors. This is the first President, ever , who has chastised our
allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He would like to blame all problems on Bush, from
the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego and Dr.
Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist. (the Dr. IS a psychiatrist)
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while but will emerge strong. Republicans
are pining for another Reagan but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer
believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in
February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant but has baggage. Sarah
Palin is sincere and intelligent but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and
info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of
lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense and
State's Rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions
That we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country
has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The Liberal Media loves the democratic agenda.
But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work,
nor the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and
the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress.
There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us
to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard but we're right on
most issues and can reclaim our country before it's far too late.
Do yourself a long term favor. Send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of
the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of
what is really going on in DC and our action pursuant to that understanding!
If you hold sacred the freedoms granted to you by the U.S. Constitution?
By all means, PLEASE, PASS IT ON!
