OBAMA - BIDEN, STATUS QUO WE CAN BELIEVE IN

And, we shall know him by his works.
Amid a flurry of fanfare and speculation, by drooling 'journalists' AKA 'readers' and talking heads, Presidential hopeful , Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), has sealed the deal by naming, as his running mate, Senator Joseph Biden (D) 'Representative' of Delaware since 1972.
Obama, the 'Messiah of Change', a favored son of the 'Gods of Globalism' and the MTV, Desperate Housewives, and reality TV crowd, THE chosen one, has announced his right hand man.
Careful though, his right hand man has his hand right in your pocket and the results are not pretty. If it is true that past actions are predictive of future actions, we are in big trouble should this new 'Dynamic DUO' take up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The plunder of our national and personal wealth will continue and increase enormously.
For this reason, I felt it necessary to make you aware of some of Senator Biden's past and present offerings.
Just as a reminder, America is now over 9 trillion dollars in debt. Let me put that into zeros for you.
$ 9,000,000,000,000
This sum does not take into account the interest on the debt or the weakness of our dollar.
Is there no end to the insanity? Not if the same people keep doing the same things and we reward them with re-election. Let me give you a little glimpse into what an Obama/Biden administration might produce by showing you what one member of the team has already done.
While it would appear that Senator Obama has been most careful in his sponsorship of legislation, making it harder to determine his inclinations towards fiscal irresponsibility, his choice of running mate speaks volumes.
When Senator Obama spoke of change, who knew he meant the few pennies that will be left in your pocket when the pillage and plunder of your personal and our national wealth is complete?
There is no money to advance these lofty causes with which Senator Biden would further burden us. This money will be borrowed from foreign nations such as China and our grandchildren will pay the interest. How can we, in good conscious, enslave our future generations without their consent to a financial burden, from which, they can never recover? Isn't this a form of taxation without representation?
How insidious is it to place the sovereignty and security of our nation in the grip of foreign nations whose intentions are either unclear or frighteningly clear? Any money the government now uses to function will be borrowed from these foreign entities. And this occurs as our jobs flood out of our nation to foreign shores and imported goods and workers continue to endanger our very survival.
America is BROKE and cannot continue on its current path. It is time for an awakening of the Citizens of this nation.
While scanning the legislations and the zeros listed below, ask yourself a simple question:
Who does the author of this legislation serve? Are the American people, who are, as we speak, sinking into desperate times, losing their homes to foreclosure, taking second and even third jobs to feed their children being served? Or, is it the will and desires of the global elite corporate masters who pull the strings on our elected officials through lobbyists, corporate donations and back scratching?
Will this madness never end? Only when the American citizen has finally had enough of the abuse and stands to demand accountability from our elected officials.
Is this really all just about money or is it also about power and control? A citizen with hungry children, one whose security has been decimated by a rampaging debt and hyper inflation, might be more compliant to a helping hand, even if the helping hand were the cause of the distress in the first place and even if that helping hand were to offer security at the price of freedom and liberty.
Because reading legislation can be as dry as dirt and most people would rather endure a trip to the dentist for a good drilling rather then read through it, I have made it easy. If you are really time pressed between those extra shifts necessary to keep your utilities connected, just scan down to the long lines of zeros. Remember, those zeros represent YOUR wealth and debt and that of your family and future progeny.
With that in mind, let us take a look at some of the fine work being done by Vice Presidential candidate Joseph Biden.
I wrote 'The Gods Of Globalism - The Devil Is In The Details' to expose Senate Bill 2120 Which was co-sponsored by Senator Biden. After reading this article, please take a look at it. It will explain more fully why this is all occurring to a trusting American public.

Hopefully, you have not yet fled you computer in despair and have a strong stomach, continue reading other bills Senator Biden considered appropriate to heap on the broken backs of the American people and the economy now teetering on the brink of disaster.

The citizens of this nation can no longer trust those who are supposed to represent our best interests in Washington. We must become active and insistent and demanding of accountability and oversight. This is our nation and it is up to us to save her in her time of need.
Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result.
Isn't it time for real change?
