Obama Wants to Micro-Manage Your Live

Over the past weekend, Barack Hussein Obama has exposed himself as a totalitarian socialist who thinks it is within the perview of the government to control what kind of car you drive, how much you eat, and how warm or cool you may keep your own home: "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen." Since when is the government allowed to make these personal choices for the people? Since when are "other countries" given the option of saying whether our personal choices are OK?

As defined by Wikipedia, "Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe political systems where a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. The term is usually applied to Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany or hard-line communist regimes, such as Stalinist Russia, Democratic Kampuchea or North Korea. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, central state-controlled economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics."

Sound familiar?
