Alaska’s Joe Miller Says Obama is “Bad for America” – Video 9/1/10

Wow!

Here is video of Alaska GOP Senate Nominee Joe Miller telling CNN’s John King that Barack Obama is “bad for America.” King had asked Miller to summarize Obama in a couple of sentences. Taken aback by Miller’s bold statement, King asked him to explain what he meant. And boy did he:

“He’s one of the major forces moving this country toward socialism. He’s expanding the entitlement state. It is the wrong direction for America. You know, this is a bipartisan problem, but he’s at the front of it. The growth of stimulus programs, the growth of basically, government bailouts to industries that are failing – it’s not the American way, it’s not the free-market way, and it’s killing the competitive edge.

I think the head-long plunge into internationalism is yet another thing that puts down American Exceptionalism. We are special as a nation. We have Constitutional rights. You know, our view of it is that the Founders had it right. You know, they come from God – Government can’t take them away. We restrain Government so Government can’t infringe upon those rights. When we’re a top-down system – which is really what’s coming out of the Obama Administration, we put that all upside-down. Instead, the Government becomes Sovereign rather than the People.

But the answer to our crisis is not Government – it is the People, and it’s rejuvenating this country in such a way that we can be a leader in the world again. And we kind of lost that concept. I think our president has actually put our country down, not advanced it in the standing of the nations. So, I would suggest to you again, that bad for America is an apt description.”

What a statement. Joe Miller enunciated the conservative approach to Government as well as it can be said in these few words. The GOP has a real candidate in Alaska – and maybe beyond if he keeps sounding like this!
