Obama's critics are right

 The Obama administration is dragging America to the wrong future. One that we have less freedom, higher taxes, and bureaucracies will control us in. More and more people are filing for disability as a result of the lack of work. This is pulling us to becoming a welfare state. We also are losing a good amount of money in the process. If Obama is reelected, the federal government will spend more and more of the national income.

Obama is the only president since LBJ to push for a bigger government. His energy policy is all wrong too. Rather than just raise the prioce of oil to deter people from using it, he attempts to influence us by brute force. He is using this same brute force in health care too. basically, Obama has disappointed everybody  especially those who really needed him. It would be foolish to reelect someone who isnt up for the task.
1. How does Frum argue that Obama is creating a welfare state?
 more and more people are claiming disability become the jobs are scarce and they need help
2. How does this create a snowball effect within the federal government?
 they lose alot of money and the courts need more judges to process these cases and more and more people are granted disability
3. How does Frum argue that Obama is tampering with the market rather than using economic incentives to change behaviors of consumers?
 rather than increase the price of oil, which will make less people want to use it, he is using brute force
4. How does Frum characterize "Obamacare" differently than Sullivan did?
 he says that Obama is using this to try to make health care come w/o market competition
5. How was the situation in Britain in the 1990s similar to what Obama is doing to America now?
 Blair and his successor Brown used rapidly rising government revenues to finance new public-sector jobs in depressed old industrial areas.
6. How should Obama have handled the economic stimulus in response to the recession of 2008?
 he shouldn't have deferred as many Congress wishlists and made wiser decisons. the ones that he did make had nothing to do with the economy...they were good ideas though
7. Obama does not control what the Federal Reserve does, but how has he influenced it?
  he nominates the members
8. What will Obama's biggest foreign policy issue be in the coming election year?
 saving the euro
