“How will Barack Obama and friends fund their plan to spread Joe the Plumber’s wealth? They intend to beat our swords into welfare checks, leaving America exposed to its mortal enemies.”
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. [How about — first, second, and third — a world without anti-America ignoramuses calling their kumbaya selves "citizens of the world"
at fanatical outdoor rallies in foreign countries?] To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material, and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals. ["Deep cuts" for us, no matter what Russia, China, or anyone else does.]
"And we s— we are spending millions of dollars on missile defense.
"Uh, and I actually believe that we need missile defense because of Iran...
"Iran, Cuba, Venezuala. These countries are tiny. They don't pose a serious threat to us."
...and North Korea, and the potential for them to obtain, uh, uh, uh— or to launch nuclear weapons."

Barack Obama The 45-Year-Old Political Virgin He's Come Too Soon
Barack Obama It's okay to learn on the job
Obama If he can divide us, he'll conquer us!
"I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message."
Jr. 1-term Sen. Gøvt. Dø-Nøthing (besides seeking a tax hike on every citizen of the world too) couldn't pass a background check to get the least sensitive job in our Department of Defense because of his extensive ties to known terrorists. But he wants you to let him be its Führer boss so, yes, he can gut it and unilaterally disarm our country. If he'll do this to all branches of our military, he'll also move on to causing more of the same extremist change at "the FBI, the CIA, the Justice Department, the State Department, in fact, every department, branch, and bureaucrat in the government."
Mr. Obama has supported handgun bans even when they trap people who defend themselves. In a 2003 case, a resident of Wilmette, Ill., used a handgun to defend himself from a burglar with a drug habit and a long criminal record, breaking into his home for the second day in a row. Though authorities found the shooting justified, the armed citizen was charged with possessing a handgun in violation of Wilmette's handgun ban.
Illinois lawmakers proposed legislation that would make self-defense an "affirmative defense" against prosecution for handgun possession in towns like Wilmette. Mr. Obama voted four times against the measure, which passed over his opposition, and over a veto by Illinois' anti-gun governor, Rod Blagojevich, a long-time Obama ally.
Self-defense at home or outside the home — it's all just as bad to Mr. Obama.
In 2004, he said he was "consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry," and that he'd back "federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement." Mr. Obama had already put that anti-self-defense belief into action in 2001, voting against a state Senate bill that would have allowed people who receive protective orders — such as domestic violence victims — to carry firearms. Why? Because, in Mr. Obama's world, "authorizing potential victims to carry firearms would potentially lead to a more dangerous rather than less dangerous situation ... It was a bad idea and I'm glad it failed," he said.
Mr. Obama also claims he's no threat to hunters.
But in 2005, he voted for a ban on all but the smallest rifle ammunition used for hunting (or for anything else). If the measure had passed, it would have classified most rifle ammunition beyond the low-powered .22 caliber as "armor piercing ammunition," prohibited for civilian manufacture by federal law. The ammunition ban was hardly Mr. Obama's first act against hunters, either. In 1999, Mr. Obama proposed increasing firearm and ammunition excise taxes by 500 percent. Right now, a rifle that a manufacturer sells for $500 carries an excise tax of $55. Under Mr. Obama's proposal, that amount would rocket to $330. This would turn a tax willingly paid by sportsmen, which funds many of our wildlife conservation programs, into a tool to punish gun buyers.
Also, while Mr. Obama promises hunters, "I will not take your shotgun away," his votes tell a different story.
In 2003, while serving on the Illinois state Senate's Judiciary Committee, Mr. Obama voted for a bill that would have banned (as so-called "semi-automatic assault weapons") most single-shot and double-barreled shotguns, along with hundreds of models of rifles and handguns. If the bill had passed, any Illinois resident who possessed one of these guns 90 days after legislation went into effect, would have faced felony charges. What was that about not taking shotguns away?
As if voting for anti-gun plans wasn't bad enough, Mr. Obama also helped pay for them. He was a board member from 1994 to 2001 of the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, which is the largest source of funding for radical anti-gun groups in the country. On Mr. Obama's watch, Joyce donated $18.6 million to approximately 80 anti-gun efforts, including $1.5 million to the Violence Policy Center, the nation's most aggressive gun-prohibitionist group. Many of the Joyce Foundation's projects were aimed at editing the Second Amendment out of the Constitution.
Disarming us all is where Jr. 1-term-only Sen. Øbøvernment stands.
