This election will shape history--make no mistake. About the only useful purpose Barack Obama's fatuous rhetoric is going to play is to focus attention on the need for change. At its worst, on the other hand, this election will ruin the very fabric of this society. Obama will prove to be the most divisive figure in the history of the USA. He is questioning the very fundamental principals that I have guided this fine society--free trade, freedom around the world, minimal role for government, etc. The solutions that will take this society forward are anathema to this left populist. America needs less government in health care, social security not more. Free trade has been a boon to America and the rest of the world. Since the institution of the WTO, the entire world has realized unprecedented levels of prosperity. His philosophies are going to surely wreck all these achievements.
