Obama's First Week in Office

First, an update on the abortion posting I sent yesterday. I read this news today: Obama's planning to reverse a federal ban that prevents funds from going to international groups that promote or perform abortions. Wow, you have to hand it to him, he really hit the ground running didn't he. Nominating a tax cheat to head the IRS, closing Gitmo and preventing waterboarding, which will cost American lives, and now this. So let me get this straight, some of my tax money that gets taken directly out of my pocket can now be used so some girl in Mexico City can get an abortion, which millions of Americans have moral and religious objections to? And this is happening while we are borrowing trillions from other countries? It sounds too ridiculous to even be believed. I hope the founding fathers can't see this.

Also, I just started reading Jerome Corsi's book The Obama Nation, where I got the title of my postings. I am only on page 63, but already it's unbelievable to me how many half-truths and outright lies are contained in Obama's autobiography.

Finally, the Obama-nation of the day: reader Mark sent me this fascinating article by Dick Morris. It outlines how the US is marching towards socialism under Obama's watch. Obama wants to give every family making less than $200K a "refundable tax credit" whether those people pay taxes or not. He will expand the percent of Americans who pay no taxes from around 1/3 to more than 1/2. A majority of Americans will receive money from the government. How can we function as a democracy if over half of our citizens are on the dole?

Some other predictions from Morris: Obama will nationalize the banking system. He promised to move our current healthcare system to a "single payer system" (ie, socialized medicine). He's going to open the borders. He will enact the "Fairness Doctrine" to shut down conservative talk radio. (FYI, I swear if he takes my talk radio away from me I am storming DC - is anybody with me?). Other dire predictions are contained in the article. A bright point - he predicts Obama's name will be mud by 2012 and probably by 2010. Much too late.
