&lt;p&gt;WHEN OBAM WAS IN PHILADELPHIA ON HIS CAMPAIGN STUMP HE SAY’S HE’S CHEERING THE PHILLIES.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHAT HAPPENED TO OBAMA’S “WE DON’T NEED DOUBLE-TALKIN POLITICIANS ANYMORE IN DC”? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OBAMA SAYS HE’S A WHITE SOX FAN...ASK HIM TO NAME SOMEONE ON THE TEAM...HE DOESN’T KNOW.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TODAY, AT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S DAMAGE CONTROL PRESS CONFERENCE ATTRIBUTED TO&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JOE BIDEN'S &amp;quot;RHETORICAL FLOURISHES&amp;quot; RELATING TO OBAMA NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE PENDING CRISIS IF HE WERE ELECTED. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA GOES ON TO PROMOTE HIS ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY OF &amp;quot;SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND&amp;quot; SO THAT HE CAN CREATE AN AMERICAN SOCIETY WHERE ALL CITIZENS ARE AS EQUALS AND ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN ORDER TO PURSUE PERSONAL PROSPERITY. WELL, IN OTHER WORDS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS TELLING TO EVERY AMERICAN'S FACE THAT HE WILL BE &amp;quot;DICTATING&amp;quot; YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES. AND ALL YOU GUYS ARE EATING IT ALL UP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS POLITICAL DOCTRINE THAT OBAMA WILL IMPLEMENT IS KNOWN AS SOCIALISM, MARXISM, COMMUNISM, OR WHATEVER TERM ONE WANTS TO USE...BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS AN AFFRONT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TO THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA...CAPITALISM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TO IMPOSE THESE DRACONIAN MEASURES SUCH AS RAISING TAXES TO SUPPORT THOSE IN SOCIETY WHO DO NOT EVEN WANT TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES BUT OBAMA DECLARES &amp;quot;SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND&amp;quot; WILL LEAD TO AN ECONOMIC ABYSS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; IS THIS THE IDEOLOGY OBAMA ADOPTED FROM HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH WILLIAM AYERS WHO ALSO IS A BIG PROPONENT OF MARXISM?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AMERICANS, IF INDICATIONS ARE CORRECT AND OBAMA GETS ELECTED, IT WILL PROVE TO BE THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW THAT AMERICA REGRETS WHO THEY ELECTED AS PRESIDENT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AN OLD WISE MAN ONCE SAID ...&amp;quot; BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR ....&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;IN CANADA, SOCIALIST PARTIES LIKE THE LIBERAL PARTY AND THE NDP (NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ARE OUT OF FAVOUR. THEY 'VE RAISED TAXES TO SUPPORT SOCIAL PROGRAMS LIKE WELFARE, INTRODUCED POLICIES TO MAKE IT EASIER TO UNIONIZE ETC., THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTROLS TO THIS DAY ITS OWN NATIONAL TV BROADCAST NETWORK CALLED THE CBC. FURTHERMORE THEY HAVE FEDERAL POLICY IN PLACE THAT CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF FOREIGN CONTENT THAT MEDIA OULETS LIKE RADIO AND TELEVISION CAN BROADCAST. IT MUST COMPLY WITH A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF CANADIAN CONTENT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IN THE USA IS THAT THEY ARE ADOPTING SOCIALISM WHICH MIRRORS OBAMA'S POLICY HE IS SELLING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. WHY DOES THE USA WANT TO GO DOWN THE SOCIALIST CANADIAN ROAD? &amp;nbsp;WE CANADIANS JUST VOTED IN A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT TO THE USA'S REPUBLICAN PARTY ....TO GET TAXES LOWERED AND REDUCE WELFARE BECAUSE IT ENCOURAGES SECTORS OF SOCIETY TO NOT LOOK FOR WORK. IT WAS A DRAG ON THE CANADIAN ECONOMY BUT OUR COUNTRY HAS IMPROVED ECONOMICALLY BY MOVING AWAY FROM THIS IDEOLOGY BUT THE STATES IN ALL THEIR WISDOM ARE MOVING TO THE LEFT-WING SOCIALISM AGENDA....AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Anita Moncrief, a former Washington staffer for Project Vote, which she described as a sister organization of...ACORN, said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign.&amp;quot; The Philadelphia Inquirer adds Moncrief &amp;quot;gave a scathing, though at times vague, assessment of ACORN and its efforts to go into battleground states and help mostly minorities and the poor register to vote for the first time. The group, she said, barely trained its workers in how to register voters properly, and would fire employees if they did not meet a quota of 20 new voter applicants daily&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama in this video is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other &amp;nbsp;Community Activist's organizations less than a year ago, in December 2007. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President and pledge to meet with leaders of Acorn and the others in his first year, Obama, who we are told has no contact to Acorn (another lie), not withstanding the $800,000 his campaign paid an Acorn group during the primaries, &amp;nbsp;says, quote:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Yes, but let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition, we are going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See and hear it for yourself. Obama promised that Acorn and other groups like it will setting his agenda if elected even before he is inaugurated: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The link &amp;nbsp;below describes how some Democrats in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money &amp;nbsp;eventually recovered &amp;nbsp;to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See:&lt;/p&gt;

One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Obama taped conversation with San Francisco Chronicle states his policies “will bankrupt coal mining operations that produce gas emissions in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;which it will cause energy prices to skyrocket.....&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;.....more info nobody knew until now about what Obama wants to do!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer how he will use environmenal laws to kill the Coal industry, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can ... It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also says he's policy will cause price of electricity to skyrocket.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We've seen him do that before, right? Something about guns and religion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down Sunday &amp;nbsp;after this story broke?&lt;/p&gt;
