Just days before the 2008 election, Barack Obama proclaimed that we were just five days away from fundamentally transforming America. Little did we realize what he meant by "fundamentally transforming" our country. Now, just a little over one week from the mid-term election, Obama says ...

"We've got a different idea about what the future should hold for America."

Oh really? Do tell Mr. President ... do you see a future where more Americans are more dependent on government than ever before? Because as of right now, under your rule, that is where we are headed. Or perhaps you would like an America where we put our tax code to better use "for the purposes of fairness." Maybe you would like an America where workers are collectively bargaining under the thumb of union goons who keep your party in power. Clearly you want an America where people look to the government for their healthcare. What about their retirement? Is your version of America's future one where the government overseas the retirement income of ALL Americans? Is that just another way you believe that you can make life in America more "fair?" Why, after all, should people be allowed to invest and save for their own retirement? What about the people who fail to accept that responsibility? Well ... that just wouldn't be right, would it? Is your vision for the future of America one where the government seizes all private retirement accounts so that the money can be distributed --- or would that be Redistributed - the way politicians think is best?

What other ideas do you have for America? In the future you see for America, does it include more freedom and personal responsibility or more government and dependency?

Obama is exactly right. He DOES have a different vision of what the future holds for America. His vision is where wealth is distributed on the basis of politically-determined "fairness," not as the just reward for hard work, personal responsibility and good decision making. Obama's vision for the future of America has no place for individual liberty; no place for economic freedom. His view is one of government dominance in virtually every segment of our lives. Is this the path you want to see your country pursue? Is this the life you want for your children and grandchildren?

You have EIGHT days.
