I am only forwarding this for info (and comment if you so please). Note
the Fox News connection

Are you aware that Krauthammer was in his first year of medical
school at Harvard, had a diving accident and was in the hospital
for a year. He did graduate with his class. He then practiced
psychiatry.
I don't believe that he is practicing Medicine any more.
Medicines loss is the people's gain.
*Dr. Krauthammer*
It's better to be paralyzed from the neck down, than to be
paralyzed from the neck up...
Dr. Charles Krauthammer
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and
is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles
Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What
he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are
staggering for us, our children and their children.
Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer
spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is
a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is
forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to
emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an
extremist in his comments and views.. He is a fiscal
conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He
is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the
Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have
summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters
economically and internationally.
Even two Democrats at my table agreed with everything he said!
If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded
and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.
Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is
not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't
show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the
mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing
accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit
them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton.
He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing
with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention
to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to
Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to
change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't
be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go
along.
He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with
income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of
society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or
Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION,
and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't
care about the auto or financial services industries, but got
them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to
everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education
is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if
you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type
single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The
only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services,
like in Canada . /_God forbid!
_/5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic
types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But
they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and
other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run.
Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular
progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a
moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what
he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United
States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself
above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various
countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all
cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime
example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that
has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at
times made errors. This is the first President ever who has
chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and
pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He
would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and
hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and
Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will
emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but
there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt
Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible
speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich
is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and
intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts
and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We
need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government,
personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's
rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and
outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This
could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country
has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving
Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda.
But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize
the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package.
These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and
the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4
above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers
failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President,
and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear
outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change
caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this
election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans
will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Democrats
continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight.
It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really
thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress.
There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to
Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the
loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on
most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.
Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will
listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our
futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding
of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to
that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take
individual action!! Start with educating your friends and
neighbors!!!
