The article is missing the important point that counters Berkley's Obama praise. Obama reversed his Jerusalem position within 24 hours. That's right: Obama pandered to Jews off a teleprompter speech prepared by legions of well paid staffers and then reversed himself through the same staffers. Anyone with a sense of decency shouldn't be tolerating such demeaning behavior.

Obama spent decades in the most anti-capitalist anti-Israeli Chicago politics. He had no serious opposition for his senate seat and ran for president after 143 days in the Senate. When he was present to vote, he voted in the most left wing way. There is a tiny chance that once in, Obama will be moderate but we don't want to find out. His campaign is full of left wing radicals. It's no wonder so many people are not buying Obama as the great bi-partisan uniter.

Obama's plan to choke the living daylights out of the US capitalism:

Tax 1: lift caps off to feed the Social Security money pit

Tax 2: let Bush tax cuts expire, raise other payroll taxes

Tax 3: let death tax to come back in 2011, higher than ever

Tax 4: tax any industry that he may deem to have 'windfall' profits

Tax 5: overtax any industry in the name of environment

Tax 6: double (!!!) capital gains tax - it's never been done before, watch trillions of investment dollars leave the US

Obama promised to lower middle class taxes. How is that going to happen if there won't be much of the economy left after the 6 taxes above kill it? Presumably some of the money will come from oil company 'windfall' profits. That's a great way to make gas even more expensive. Also don't forget his bloated government-run inefficient health care and many other programs worth many trillions of dollars.

Obama is on track do more to damage capitalism than anyone in the old USSR.

Obama is not running for Carter's 2nd term. His reign will make Carter administration look good.
