6 right-wing claims about a second Obama term - The Week
Most we have heard right here.....
1. Obama will jack up taxes and over-regulate
Among the "disasters" awaiting America if we re-elect Obama: "Job creators will face massive tax increases" at the same time that "more Americans will come off the tax rolls," says Marc Thiessen at the American Enterprise Institute. Obama will also "finally wage the regulatory war on fossil fuels the Left demands" and "unleash the Environmental Protection Agency to impose crushing new burdens on U.S. business."
2. He'll outlaw gun ownership
Obama didn't do much regarding gun control in his first term — he's "been so respectful of Second Amendment rights that the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gave him an 'F,'" notes the Chicago Tribune's Chapman — but that's "just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term," the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre told the Conservative Political Action Conference in February
3. And he'll ban pizza
TIME recently asked former Republican presidential candidate and ex-Godfather's Pizza boss Herman Cain if it's "worse to imagine a world without pizza or one in which Obama gets a second term." A second Obama term would be worse, Cain replied, "because with Obama in a second term, there will be no pizza.
4. Obama will deliberately weaken the U.S.
D'Souza's basic premise is that Obama is channeling the "anti-colonial" dreams of his "philandering, inebriated African socialist" father, says the Philadelphia Inquirer's Rea. According to D'Souza's film, that translates into sitting back and letting "the nations of the Middle East, including Libya, Syria, and Iran, band into 'the United States of Islam,' threatening the security of the United States and the world
5. He'll let Iran go nuclear
Unless the U.S. attacks Iran in the next four years — and that's unlikely under Obama — "Iran will enrich enough uranium for multiple nuclear weapons
6. Obama will let the U.N. take over the U.S.
Tom Head, a judge in Lubbock, Texas, raised plenty of eyebrows in August when he told a local CNN affiliate that if given a second term, Obama will "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations," sparking "civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war
