Country-changin' and wealth redistributin' was on Obama's mind and agendized long before his inadvertent slip-up in Toledo clued us in, as this 2001 radio address on Chicago Public Radio proves. Audio link here, at protein wisdom.

Jeff's commentary..

In Obama’s America, we’ll finally be able to break free of the “constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution” — and in so doing, achieve “social justice” through “redistributive change.”

Well, then. Fine .

But this is not the America I knew…

Well, there are those who would rather CHANGE and switch and HOPE it works than remain with the economic system what brung us. We are hurting now, but Obama's plan will only make it worse. Trust me; there are no successful socialist countries that are worth anything more than a quick visit.

Think about it. What socialist country can you name that's as large and successful and also first-world and as technologically advanced as the U.S. is right now? Not so many, huh?

We will not retain our position in the world nor our standard and quality of life if we are forced to adopt Obama's economic plans for wealth redistribution.

Russia prefers Obama. Who knew?

Both US candidates took a harsh stance on Russia in a recent debate when asked if the late US president Ronald Reagan's designation of the former Soviet Union as the 'evil empire' still applied to modern Russia.

McCain said 'maybe' while Obama, who has moved closer to his opponent's hard-line stance since the war in Georgia, said Russia exhibited 'evil behaviour' in that conflict.

Nonetheless, Kosachyov said this week that McCain's anti-Russian bias was deep-set while Obama was a more 'comfortable' choice.
