Still feeling all giddy over the election of Barack Obama?

Here is a little tincture of truth for the burning soul:

Obama Camps to master the art of agitation. Obviously, these were before the election, but this article clarifies the Obama/Alinsky indoctrination connection and is pertinent considering the dark cloud swallowing our once free and open market. This is real deal agitation with and edgy, violent feel.

Here is a choice quote from the article:

The letter continues, "By participating in Camp Obama you'll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned that real change happens from the bottom up."

If real change happens from the bottom up and Obama is the "master" of agitation, then how come the people he agitated for and with on the South Side of Chicago still live in broken-down squalor and destitution while his crony buddies in real estate, property management and development lapped up the grants and federal monies he lobbied for? Where is the money now?

But a Globe review found that thousands of apartments across Chicago that had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies - including several hundred in Obama's former district - deteriorated so completely that they were no longer habitable.

Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obama's close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama's constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.

The only change I see is the pocket change these unscrupulous and scurrilous bastards walked away with on the public dime, while the poverty, dilapidation and decay continue unabated.

Barack Obama is no harbinger of positive change. His efforts of exerting more governmental control are counter-productive, anti-capitalistic and clearly, a sweeping power grab for the liberal agenda (socialism) that he holds near and dear. One has to wonder, and rightfully so, does Obama have a real interest in saving GM? Or AIG? Doubtful. A successful turnaround for either of these entities dulls the razor blade of governmental intrusion and it is Obama, standing beneath the exposed, tender belly, waiting for his chance to gut the precious principles of freedom, democracy and capitalism in a sad and useless effort to bring change "from the bottom up."

His success in controlling more and more of our lives and the companies who develop, build and market our goods and services will do nothing for the poor and weak of this nation. It will simply be an unproductive horizontal shift of money from the pockets of his enemies to the pockets of his allies. A shift of wealth from one wealthy person to the next, while the rest of us suffer. And with larger government comes larger costs, of which we will all pay through higher taxation. Sounds delightful, doesn't it?

Void promises, an empty, devious mind and an stone cold, sullen heart. The essence of Socialist Barack Obama.
