Micro Obama vs. Macro McCain.
I don't like either of them but I really don't like Obama and that's about all I see. Do not vote for this man, he's a Charismatic and his people are idol worshippers. This article was written, by the way, before Louis "I am psychotic" Farrakhan declared Obama the new Messiah ( "The Messiah is absolutely speaking", World New Daily, October 2008) . I've just always called him the anti-Christ.
It wasn't until the last debate however that I realized the truly substantive differences between Obama and McCain, other than the rather obvious: Obama is an elitist, radicalized, America-hating, Muslim (oh, yes he is) and McCain is a nut job who is probably taking too many pills. I'll take the nut job.
That was the nice thing about Reagan. No one ever really knew if he was crazy; our enemies were never quite sure about what he would do. Gosh, I miss the Cold War when our enemy’s greatest aspiration was a workers paradise not 70 virgins in the afterlife...
At any rate, McCain has that Reaganesque quality of what I like to call, Madcap Diplomacy. It’s fun, it’s zany, it’s spontaneous and it goes something like this: "Sacre Bleu, this guy might just be so nuts that he would nuke us off the face of the earth! Merci! Nyet! Whatever you say, U.S. of A." And, that's how we won the Cold War. The End.
Not so with Micro Obama. During the last presidential debate, hosted by the venerable Tom Brokow, that I “watched” on radio a few things became clear. The questions from the audience were great. The candidates as usual went out of their way not to answer any of them. Obama is a master at that. It's all just propaganda. But what I learned more than anything was that Obama is a micro-economist. With Obama Economics, if you want to tackle a problem, you go to the people, you have government give them more money, you tax people to control their behavior, you talk to our enemies because it's all about face-to-face. Obama's an idiot.
To paraphrase Thoreau: There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil instead of the root.
McCain is a macro-economist, and I am too. I look at the big picture and try to get at the root of the problem. You have a problem with Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and irresponsible credit and lending, you don’t give more money to the people. You don’t re-start the flow of cash and easy credit. You create Lender Liability laws to hold banks accountable for their stupid and irresponsible loans. This is depositors money they are gambling away and after that it's the taxpayers', since these incredibly "feel good" bad loans are government backed. No, McCain didn’t say any of this but he gave me the impression he got the idea that it's the big picture you worry about, the rest will take care of itself.
McCain's seems to really take a look at what's good for the country, not just the individual. Obama seems to believe that what's good for the individual is good for America. Trust me, it's not.
We used to be a nation that worked for the common good. "What benefits us all?" Today we live by the creed, "What's in it for me?" When you have little senior citizens willing to bankrupt the economy in service to their perceived Constitutional right to free medication, motorized scooters and Senior Discount Wednesdays, you have a national crisis of startling proportions. And it will only get worse.
The Scooter people will take over the world and bring the rest of us over their cliff. That will be our nation's legacy. The Scooter people killed this country. On a Micro Economic level it's called harking at the branches of evil. The Macros say: Give the man a scooter he will scoot for a day. Tell that obese diabetic to get out of the cookie aisle and, pretty soon, she could just walk away.
