I could wax eloquently about the man I believe Dr. Krauthammer is, his abilities,
contributions and the tribulations he's risen above but these are all covered in the
posting below which I received June 12, 2010. Read it and weep as you realize how
right he's been so far and how wrong you are.....AM

Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and 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 straightforward 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 hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due
until after he is reelected in 2012. 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.
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 media is giving
Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill
will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will 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. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and
panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on
indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of
change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was
surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back
into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it
will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. 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! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action! Start with
educating your friends and neighbors!!!
