I miss the inspired leadership of our Dear Leader™, His Excellency™ General Secretary™ B. Hussein Obama. Already I see signs of his progressive efforts being torn down. Today alone I saw almost a dozen "Now Hiring" signs in shops and stores. Gasoline is STILL about $2.35 near my estate in Potomac, MD!!! Why is it not at $5.00 a gallon by now??? Dear Leader™ would have seen to it that the national average was at that or higher!!! I know one thing... I smell a purge coming on within the DNC's Politburo™!!!

How's this for a plan for the future?

1. We issue an executive order to our fellow travelers at the IRS to increase the income tax 25% across the board.
   
2. We order the Dept. of Energy to place a federal excise tax of $3.00 a gallon on gasoline.
   
3. We "encourage" the Federal Reserve to disband itself and place monetary policy into the hands of the executive branch, but only when a progressive (i.e. Socialist) President is in the Oval Office.
   
4. Too hell with 2nd Amendment!!!!!!!!! We send DHS, FBI, DEA, and ATF agents to go door to door and confiscate ALL firearms from the serfs/proletarians. All who resist are shot on the spot!
   
5. That "Charter of Negative Rights" can be shredded. The 1st Amendment. Gone! The 3rd through the 10th Amendments. Gone!

Welcome to a new, compassionate and caring United Soviet States of Amerika!!! Amerikan socialism will succeed where others have failed! Because... We Care™
