As prolongation of the 1930s Depression and stagflation in the 1970s demonstrated, Senator Obama’s announced policies are a prescription for economic disaster.

Today’s most widely accepted political belief is that because an unprecedentedly high percentage of Americans – 81 percent – believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the Republicans are headed for a major defeat this coming November.
