http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/12/obamas_end_run_around_congress.html shows one way Barack Obama could get everything he's been promising his liberal friends in sotto voce discussions - all those drastic expansions of Federal spending.
Obama could call his outsize shopping list a "stimulus package," then demand that Congress pass it right after the Inauguration. And when our tax cuts expire in 2010, suddenly we're all going to see our tax rates go up. Can't expect all of this good Federal managing of our lives for free, can we?
Gee, we'll get Everything Corps (free non-parental consent abortions for minors at Planned Parenthood!), our First and Second Amendment rights abridged to an extent unheard of, a "civilian national security corps" funded like the Armed Forces and a tax hike, all for the price of a dirty election in 2008.
Don't know about you, but I think we've crossed more than one frontier with the election of Barack Obama.
Hitler promised Germany a lot of public works projects and cradle-to-grave government management of their lives, too. They wound up with a tyranny in the bargain - because Hitler, like Obama, had a mean temper and couldn't stand it when people criticized him out loud.
And Obama already has two people on the Federal Communications Commission - Copps and Adelstein - who want to give him a license to control political speech on the air. They call it the "Fairness Doctrine," but it's always been used by Democrats who wanted to tell radio station managers, news editors and political commentators to shut the Hell up. And it took Ronald Reagan to rid us of it.
