Time Magazine: Obama’s the new FDR
They mean it in a complimentary way, of course, but for those of us who aren’t into sugarcoating the liberal FDR’s massive government expansion, the comparison is anything but favorable. In fact, in me it provokes a sense of dread about what’s to come.
Close to a million – if not more – people are expected to be in DC for Obama’s inauguration. How many of those people would be in attendance if they knew about Obama’s favoring of mandatory public service for young people? Would they be there if they knew about Obama’s opposition to the secret ballot? Or his opposition to the Born Alive Infants Act? His proposal to give tax cuts to people who don’t even pay taxes?
The scarier thought: They know about all this, and they just don’t care.
