John Nightingale (Nov. 2) certainly had it right with his letter on Obama, a mere wannabe.

However, we do have a serious problem with such a person as president of our country. He has used the recession as a crisis to project his views of Marxism on America.

In a very short period of time, Obama with his cooperative Congress, have created a stimulus plan that has increased the deficit triplefold without achieving anything of significance; taken over the automobile industry and given part of it to the unions; taken over the banking system and is now trying to take over healthcare and pass a cap and trade bill that will take over energy.

All of his plans are very expensive without accomplishing anything. Big companies should have been allowed to fail just as small companies do; the health care plan will not improve health care but will give the government control and the populace higher taxes; the cap and trade will devastate industry and cause a loss of jobs and more taxes.

It is time for Americans to wake up and take their country back. Neither party has served us well with their spending.
