- On energy policy and the amount you spend on gasoline, Obama would raise the gasoline tax, create a windfall profits tax on oil companies, which they would pass along to you, and mandate the type autos you drive and what you set your thermostat on inside your home.
- He is against offshore oil drilling to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, against expanded refinery capacity, and against building new refineries.
- He is against nuclear power, coal, expanding the building of windmills, and halting the rush toward ethanol which has created a world-wide food crisis and astronomical grocery prices.
When it comes to Americans' right to self-defense,
- Obama voted at least 4 times to criminalize homeowners who used guns to defend their lives and the lives of their families against intruders.

- Obama voted in Illinois to deny medical care to infants that had survived botched abortion attempts.
On the Iraq War,
- Obama claimed the troop surge was wrong-headed and that we needed to withdraw immediately in 2005, but took down this information from his websites when it became clear the surge is working.
- He wants to withdraw troops from Iraq but send them to Afghanistan. If the 'war is wrong' in Iraq, then why is it not also 'wrong in Afghanistan?'

On taxes,
- Obama would need to raise taxes by 300 million dollars to pay for all of his proposals, not counting his desire to raise gasoline taxes and to start a windfall profits tax on oil companies.

On corruption, scandal, and shady financial dealings,
- Obama's closest associates all seem to be fringe-element frauds, kooks, and criminals, such as Tony Rezko, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, politicians from the oldest and most corrupt political machine in America (Chicago), Father Michael 'Snuffy' Pfleger who said that gun store owners should be 'snuffed out,' George Soros who has bankrolled his campaign by the millions, and many others.
On Border Security,
- Obama told La Raza yesterday that our Border Patrol agents are like terrorists.
- Obama has long supported open borders with complete amnesty for illegal aliens.
- Obama wants illegal aliens to obtain valid U.S. drivers' licenses.
- Obama wants to grant special tuition credits for illegal aliens to attend college in the U.S.
Barack Obama is one of the most dangerous politicians ever to rise to prominence in the history of the United States of America. Who in their right mind would trust this man with the Oval Office?
