Fred Thompson Sends Warning to America on Obama Presidency

Posted on October 24, 2008

A 12 minute warning from Fred Thompson via the GOP campaign. It’s definitely not a 30 second plug, but we know Fred isn’t about that kind of nonsense. He spells things out just like they are…urgent.

Hat tip: Hot Air

Fred also has a warning over at the Corner…a sample:

It’s time for those of us who are concerned about our nation’s future to focus on what is at stake in this year’s elections. This is a time of great challenge for our country. We know that somewhere in the world our worst enemies either have, or are trying to get their hands on, the most dangerous weapons known to man. Small rogue nations are developing nuclear weapons and threaten our allies. Large nations are engaged in massive military buildups.

At home we are girding for the possible onset of a recession. Very soon we will go to the polls and set a path that will determine how we respond to these challenges. It will be a decision that we will make not only for ourselves but very possibly for generations to come. The path we choose will depend upon our vision of America’s role in the world and most importantly our vision of our own people.

Senator Obama and his campaign see an historic opportunity—a political opportunity. They know that in times of fear and uncertainty the promise of a safe haven is well received. But there is no sanctuary in what they offer.

Their “haven” is the same old tired refuge of liberalism: the federal government. And the candidate – the least experienced, most liberal in two generations – represents a last gasp at imposing the failed 1960s radical, leftist agenda that could never succeed in normal times.

Let me make it as plain as I know how. If Senator Obama is elected President with a Democrat majority in the House and Senate, this country will make a dramatic shift to the left, such as we have never seen before. Senator Obama and the Democratic Congress will be unrestrained and unrepentant in making our country as never before more divided and more dependent upon a dramatically larger and intrusive federal government.

They have already promised $900 billion in new spending, and we will see additional stimulus packages, and so-called “investment” spending to fulfill their pent up wish lists. Entitlements, which are already destined to bankrupt the country unless reformed, will be expanded in the guise of “health care reform.”

We will see across the board tax increases on income, investments, dividends and upon the occurrence of death. Why? Because the voracious appetite of the federal government will demand it. Obama’s so-called “tax cuts” for people who don’t pay income taxes aren’t tax cuts at all, just additional spending in the form of governments checks, paid for by us … the American tax payers. Are we really expected to believe that the insatiable spending appetite of the most liberal government in American history, in control of all three branches, will be satisfied by only raising revenue on the top 5% of tax payers? We’ve seen this before … when Bill Clinton campaigned on a middle class tax cut and, when elected, imposed a middle class tax increase.

    I anm working class, born and raised. Most of the people I know who supprt Obama are suburban, college fund types who have never had to go the coin laudry-mat. What I cannot wait for is the look on their faces when they realize that Mom and Dad’s money won’t be there for them to pay off the house, or retire. That their DINK lifestyle is about to get pinched to the point of no vacation home, no new sports cars, no more wine country trips. I can survive in any circumstance, I learned it growing up on tought streets and fending for myself. The upper middle class white twits who are voting to bring their future right into line with mine are really in for a terrible awakening! I will enjoy laughing at them, and pointing my finger.

    I agree, run it all over the place, maybe one more person will start to have the fog lifted from their minds and then another,… I stole this video and posted it on my site; that way at least 4-5 more folks will see it.

    NO OBAMA! We absolutely cannot become the communist country he wants us to be. Simply put.

    You’re all nuts to believe this rubbish! Obama/Biden 08/12

    P.S. I have had to do my wash at a laundry mat, grew up wearing hand-me-down clothes and knew what it felt like to be unsure where the next meal was coming from. I don’t count on my parent’s money ahead of time or ever if it’s not there in the end. I’m white and middle-class as well. To be “afraid” of an Obama presidency when the alternative is McCain/Palin…now that’s scary.

    Instead on focusing on Palin’s $150K waredrobe or Obama’s $450K
    catering bills…you had better think about something else far more
    important….

    Was Obama ever eligible to run for the Presidency in the first place?
    Did the DNC who nominated him drop the ball on doing back ground
    checks on him?

    http://politicalinquirer.com/2008/10/04/the-philip-berg-lawsuit-against-barack-obama/

    The Aug. 21, 2008 lawsuit was filed by a life long Democrat attorney, Philip Berg, in PA, who was also Deputy Attorney General of
    PA and a Democratic candidate for Governor.

    What is Obama hiding? He is the ONLY one of all of the candidates
    that refuses to turn over his vaulted birth certificate, medical
    records, employement records and college admission
    records/transcripts. The other three candidates quickly complied with
    nothing to hide.

    I also understand from reading the lawsuit that Obama hired Joseph
    Sandler who is the lawyer for The Council for American Islamic
    Relations and moveon.org. Why does Obama need such high powered
    lawyers to fight something that should be a non-issue? Biden, Palin and McCain have all complied. What is Obama hiding?

    FactCheck.org is owned by the Addenberg Foundation , a Socialist
    group that has backed Obama so their opinion as to whether or not the
    birth certificate on Obama’s website is real on not, is a worthless
    opinion. No one can trust FactCehck.org on any issue.

    Obama did not go to HI last Friday to see his ailing grandmother who
    has osteoporosis. Obama went to HI Friday get this lawsuit dismissed
    because it is his greatest secret. Now the suit goes to the Supreme
    Court because the HI judge said that the American people are not
    harmed in any way. You got to be kidding? We have a Presidential
    candidate that may have never been eligible to run in the first
    place?

    Especially when the lawsuit says that all he has to do is allow his
    vaulted birth certificate from the state of HI to be viewed. Why has
    he worked so hard since August 21 to get this dismissed? Why does he
    have a problem with turning over his identification records and
    college admission forms?

    More on this: http://www.obamacrimes.com.

    Obama is a lawyer that knows that he was never eligible to run for
    the Presidency and this is his greatest secret.

    He hopes to keep it a secret so that he can dupe the American people
    and manipulate his way into the White House. He has strongly
    encouraged early voting so that he can create racial tension/upheaval
    if he is challenged. Most of the early voting has been among African
    Americans.

    No matter what it takes, we need to delay the election until we determine if he
    was eligible to vote or not. These questions are so serious that we
    cannot afford to simply dismiss them.

    Does anybody believe that it is so unthinkable that the DNC who
    nominated him dropped the ball after so much corruption took place
    among the Democrats with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac campaign
    contribution money and striking down every attempt to regulate the
    subprime market? Is it so unthinkable that they did not do the proper
    due diligence on Barack Obama?

    I agree with everything you say and question here about Obama,,,,,I still do not understand how anyone in our country can run for any office (senator, congress, president )without first passing a backgroung check. And to not have or release credentials as Obama will not, seems like he is totally hiding something. People behave just this way when they have something to hide. If you have nothing to hide you have no problem giving up important information such as birth certificate, educational background and the like. This man is dangerous, at best.
