We Figured Him Out! by Ben Stein




Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized
medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a
pig in a poke in 2008.

They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and
different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.

They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by
his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a
student.

They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer,"
Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a
student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being
touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack
Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country,
way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East , way
beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and
our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to
the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really
an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to
help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means
that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the
Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health
costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of
something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs
in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State,
has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified
betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home
in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to
"protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if
believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays
at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our
opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved
America .
