As
the most liberal member of the US Senate, Barack Obama has taken positions to
left of every other Senator. Based on his voting record he is even ranked to
the left of Bernie Sanders, the lone Socialist Party member. His talk about
reaching out to work with both Republicans and Democrats is just that: talk.
Obama has never worked with Republicans on any significant legislation—ever.
The one example he gave to Rick Warren was a lie: he promised to work with John
McCain on a bill and then broke his promise when some fellow Democrats
objected.
Bottom Line: Nothing in his admittedly sparse
record suggests he would work in a bi-partisan manner. He has an extreme
leftist agenda of higher taxes, income redistribution, and socialized medicine,
and he has never shown a desire to compromise. With a Democrat-controlled House
and Senate a number of his policies could be enacted, weakening the economy and
undermining our health care system—a focus of my next post.
