mind,

With great timidity I will enter a discussion with you.

The problem with the Obama plan is two fold:

1. The money is not there in the top 2% to do what he wants - so it is a lie.

2. Once it is clear the money is not there - it will have to be found elsewhere as the policies will be in place. Far more than the top 2% will have to pay for it.

So - I see the Obama plan as a huge lie. He is offering the welfare state to 98% of the population on the lie that it can be paid for by the top 2%. Such a deal - who in the 98% would not go for it - ultimate free lunch.

All I ask for is honesty. The cost should be honest and the source of funds should be honest.

I see Barack as a demagogue trying to scare people into policies they would not normally adopt. I see scare tactics passing a stimulus bill that is not even read. The bill was supposed to be targeted, timely and temporary. It was none - especially not temporary.

Barack Obama offered change - he is giving power urban machine politics based on fear and lies. All of my misgivings have been verified. Obama is a liar and a demagogue.
