President Obama’s re-election campaign was long on harsh criticism of his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, and short on his own specific plans to revive the economy and promote stability around the world.

But by examining the proposals of the progressive groups, activists and advisers behind Obama’s first-term agenda, combined with the president’s own statements and policies, a specific agenda can be clearly seen.

That’s what WND Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein and researcher Brenda Elliott did to produce their New York Times bestselling book, “Fool Me Twice: Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed”.

The book uncovers Obama’s plan over the next four years to push “economic fairness” and a “new economic patriotism, ” an agenda that boil down to one theme – massive, unprecedented government involvement in the private sector.

Among the second-term Obama policies “Fool Me Twice”:

An expansive, de facto amnesty program for illegal aliens via executive order and interagency directives linked with a reduction in the capabilities of the U.S. Border Patrol and plans to bring in untold numbers of new immigrants with the removal of caps on H-1B visas and green cards.
Government-funded, neighborhood-based programs to better integrate the newly amnestied immigrants into society, including education centers and health-care centers. A “federal solution” to ensure that the amnestied immigrants are treated “equitably” across the United States.
The re-creation of a 21st century version of FDR’s Works Progress Administration program within the Department of Labor that would oversee a massive new bureaucracy and millions of new federal jobs;
Specific plans for a National Infrastructure Bank. This entity would “evaluate and finance infrastructure projects ‘of substantial regional and national importance’” and would finance “transportation infrastructure, housing, energy, telecommunications, drinking water, wastewater, and other infrastructures.”
Wresting control of the military budget from Congress by attempting to place an “independent panel” in charge of military spending while slashing the defense budget in shocking ways.
The vastly reduced resources of the U.S. armed forces will be spread even thinner by using them to combat “global warming,” fight global poverty, remedy “injustice,” bolster the United Nations and step up use of “peacekeeping” deployments;
A new “green” stimulus program and the founding of a federal “green” bank or “Energy Independence Trust,” which would borrow from the federal treasury to provide low-cost financing to private-sector investments in “clean energy.”
Detailed plans to nudge closer to a single-payer health-care system controlled by the federal government.
Federal government intervention to determine the “value” of individual jobs in the private sector instead of allowing employers to pay what they want.
The enactment of a “living wage” that would force all employers to increase the salaries of the nation’s workers to meet “basic needs” such as housing, food, utilities, transportation, health care and recreation.
