I'm Scared...

Ok, so this isn't just about being a wife. It's about being an American.. a scared American. I don't agree with Obama's plans for this country. My #1 thing I don't agree with is pulling troops out of Iraq before things are complete over there, but I won't get into that. Below is just another thing that scares me. This exerpt was taken from an article on Yahoo! titled Obama's Prime-Time Ad Skips Over Budget Realities (click on the link to check it out for yourself!). I'm a pretty open minded person, and at times thought that Obama may not be so bad, but the more I researched him (I like to be well informed before I speak or type) the less I like him and the more frightened I am about what he will do to our country... 

THE SPIN: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax cut for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. "

THE FACTS: His proposals — the tax cuts, the low-cost loans, the $15 billion a year he promises for alternative energy, and more — cost money, and the country could be facing a record $1 trillion deficit next year. Indeed, Obama recently acknowledged — although not in his commercial — that: "The next president will have to scale back his agenda and some of his proposals."
