For months, we have been worried that Barack Obama is going to bring his brand of socialism to America if elected President. We have fought to keep the "s" word from our government, feeling that we need to fight hard to defeat this Red threat. Little did we realize that the real threat would come from the inside.
As President Bush has been fighting for the last six months or so to make sure his legacy is better than it appears to be headed toward, he has now ensured he will go down in history. For the past two weeks he has been pushing for this large, socialistic, Wall Street bailout. He has been motivated by his legacy, I suspect, not wanting a horrific economy to be his legacy. In turn, he will go down as the President responsible for the institution of socialism in America.
This bailout of the rich will not make a difference for the average American. Those rich CEOs on Wall Street will benefit, as they will not have to suffer their own consequences. Foreclosures will continue. Loans will continue to be near impossible for the average person and small business. The middle class will disappear and most of us will be poor, relying on the graciousness of Big Brother to get us from bread line to bread line. The disaster they hoped to avoid, will only be avoided by the elite in business and government.
As we go forward from here, we need to ensure history properly records the responsibility for this end to free market. The same man who told us that we would cease to be a country if we didn't accept amnisty for illegals, has now sold us a bill of goods that lead us to the very menace Reagan protected us from. Long live the legacy of Bush.
