    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Perhaps Obama Should Be Elected U.N. Secretary General

A BBC poll of “the world” finds that the “the world” wants the U.S. to elect Barry Obama as our next president.  In fact, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is overseeing the end of the Labour Party’s domination of British politics, has thrown his support behind Barry.

Since the rest of “the world” would love to see Barry as our leader, why don’t we just hand him off to the world’s largest and most useless debate society, the United Nations.  Then they can all be happy.

One Response

  1. I’m thinking that BHO wants to use the presidency as a stepping stone to becoming secretary-general of the UN. Even if he were elected to serve the maximum two terms in the U.S., he would be only in his mid-50s when he’s finished — too young to just go in the rubber-chicken lecture circuit. He has already given a campaign speech in Germany and wants to give more than a trillion of our dollars to end world poverty by giving it first to bureaucrats at the UN — buying votes there, I’d say. The UN is a paper tiger now, but under Obama, who knows what it might get up to? Nothing good, that’s for sure.
