Obama, who favors partial birth abortion, favors withholding medical assistance to aborted babies born alive and doesn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" should they make a mistake, boldly states,

"...Now is the time to reclaim our children's future...."

Is Barack suddenly opposed to Roe v. Wade?

I haven't yet met a military family that could do much more than control the foaming around the mouth at the thought of The Big O becoming President. Military families, especially those of us with long history of service, are intensely loyal to whoever the Commander-in-Chief is. It is part of the code of honor. In our family when Clinton was President our son was at the AF Academy. We never, and I mean never, said one thing about the man, lest our son hear a disparaging remark regarding the man who was his Commander-in-Chief.

I will say that Obama is so dangerous that most military families shudder and have hair on the backs of necks stand up at the mere thought of the possibility of his Presidency. With a son serving in a time of war I am very sensitive to the remarks that our elected leaders have made that have indeed caused the deaths of precious men and women who were doing their duty. Our actions have consequences. When Pelosi made her foreign trip and basked in the limelight with our enemies, a young man with connections to our family was killed that very weekend by emboldened insurgents, hoping to score their will by tallying up more deaths. These leaders have directly caused deaths.

Before Obama left he shot his mouth off about Afghanistan and a Special Forces outpost was most nearly overrun and some nine brave Americans gave their lives. The arrogance of the man supersedes Bill Clinton's. In fact, in my lifetime I have never known of anyone this arrogant and self possessed.

My fear is that the computerized election machines have been keyed to let Obama win. Computers have been developed by folks who tend to vote leftist. And since voting is no longer a sacred duty and votes have been sold to illegals and criminals, is it no wonder we military families quake in our shoes.

We pray that after the election America will still be the land of the free and the home of the brave, for that along with truth and justice are what my son and many others fight for.

"Perhaps it's time we traded Obama to the EU for two croissants and a used Volvo. (It would be one of those trades that benefit both teams. Europe would get a guy they adore, and we would get something of value.)"

Now that's funny. Thanks.

Just wondering, though: Who'll get the croissants and Volvo? I'd like first dibs on the auto, please.

BTW: What'll happen to Obama devotees here, including the MSM? Wonder if they'll follow him to Europe?

Did anyone notice that "Obama" and "Berlin" are spelled identically, but with different letters? (Humor must abide somewhere in this dreariest of campaigns.)
