*Obama the Impotent: A Dangerous Delusion, by Matt Patterson.

“Do nothing? This man is systematically taking a wrecking ball to our economy…and this before his planned government takeover of the health care and energy sectors. Do nothing? Obama has never met a tyrant he wouldn’t appease, seemingly clueless to the lessons of history that such behavior puts us all in grave danger.

No, far from being a do-nothing president, Obama is in fact a busy body of the worst sort: He is bombing the moon instead of Iran’s nuclear facilities; he deploys himself to Europe to help bring the Olympics to Chicago, but fails to deploy the troops necessary to win the war in Afghanistan. And it is our children who will pay the price for all of this — they will live with a maniacal Islamist regime blackmailing the free world with nuclear weapons; they will struggle to pay this enormous and disgraceful debt that Obama is shoveling onto their backs.

Conservatives who believe that Obama is politically impotent are dangerously mistaken.”

“It is essential that we use the correct terminology when we speak of “liberals.” In this era, the people who call themselves by that name are in fact socialists and Marxists. We must no longer allow them to control the debate by mindlessly parroting their choice of words.”

“The bill would impose nearly $400 billion in new taxes and fees. Nearly 90% of that burden will be shouldered by those making $200,000 or less.”
