I am a white man who voted for John McCain. I now know this means I am a racist, bigoted, Bible-thumping, gun-toting, right-wing, foaming-at-the-mouth redneck radical. OK, OK we all agree on that. But, I still oppose President Barack Obama because the man just can't add.
I lived in Chicago for many years, and I know that being a Democrat politician from Chicago, Obama has to have been schooled in all the finer aspects of bribery, extortion, payoffs and corruption, which are the dynamics that run that city. The absolute bottom line for any Democrat from Chicago is, "What's in it for me?" This requires basic knowledge of math.
Now Obama wants to create government-run healthcare on top of all the other debt creation and inflation-causing programs he recently engineered. And he says he can add 40 million people to a program that is currently underfunded without raising costs or rationing care. It's just not possible. And as I said, any Democrat from Chicago should be able to add better than that.
Just because he looks good and talks well doesn't mean he's any good at math.
