Peter Schiff ("Obama will be more of the same, but worse")
youtube/Peter Schiff Channel ^ | January 19, 2009 | sickoflibs/peter Schiff

“Everybody is getting excited about the inauguration, where they think Barack Obama is going to ride in and save the day, and nothing could be further from the truth. A lot of people have such high hopes and such high expectations that he’s (Obama) is going to bring the change we need. Unfortunately nothing is going to change, change is less government, change would be sound money, change would be more freedom, were not going to get any of that, we are just going to get bigger government under Barack than we did under Bush. That’s not change at all but it’s more of the same, only worse. I think we are on the verge of some very significant problems coming up and it’s unfortunate that so few people can see this. And I think what Barack is doing is setting to blame the problems on Bush, on capitalism, on freedom, much like Roosevelt was able to do. Roosevelt was able to blame the depression which lasted his entire presidency on Hoover. And think about it, the worst of the depression was 1936, three years into the Roosevelt administration. And yet he’s blaming everything on Hoover. And the revisionist history was that the left and the statists were able to blame the whole depression on Herbert Hoover, and the fact that he did nothing, and the fact that he believed in the free market, is absolutely amazing; when Herbert Hoover was very much a George Bush. Like I said before, he(Hoover) was the most activist interventionist president up until his term. He tried everything under the sun to prop up businesses, to bail people out, he had his own versions of the bailouts and the stimulus’s plans and the tarp, he did everything he could, and everything he did contributed to the problem, just like everything Bush has done has contributed to the problems. And now Barack is going to come in and repeat all the mistakes of Roosevelt, and make the situation worse and he’s going to be able to blame the fact that it’s so bad it is on how bad it was under Bush, the deregulation of the greedy era. I’m hopeful the public won’t actually buy into this non-sense, but that’s the stage he’s trying to set.” Full video at :Peter Schiff Videos:"There will be no change with Barack Obama"

'End of inauguration day, party pooper Peter Schiff' ping.

Peter gives a nice GWB to Obama/Hoover to Roosevelt analogy(GWB worst nightmare) . Obama is more of the same but even worse.

more government, bigger deficits, more foreign meddling and less concern over the border than Bush. Not the change we’ve been waiting for.

RE “Do we have any Republican politicians who are willing to trash Obama,the way Peter Schiff does it?

One of the things about Schiff is he seems credible because he spares neither party (which is why Cavuto on FNC business is my favorite more-so than talk radio.)

The answer to your question is , I see no one in R party as articulate as Schiff. He really puts the Washington establishment to shame. In fact 16 years ago the republican revolution WAS new anti-establisment, and democrats were establishment. Now our party is pathetic, big government, wall street, big guy. Why do you think a loser like Obama gave (false)hope to the country? Stale useless republicans

***And I think what Barack is doing is setting to blame the problems on Bush, on capitalism, on freedom, much like Roosevelt was able to do.***

This indeed is one of my biggest concerns. Obama is doing a brilliant job of setting himself up to be the savior. He continuously says things will get worse (and they will), before they get better, but that it is necessary for the government to come in and help “stabilize” and reverse the “downward spiral”.

If things don’t improve, he can always say, “Think of how bad it would have been if we hadn’t done anything,” and knowing his popularity, the free market may end up taking another hard blow. Government creates problems and then offers to “fix” them with even worse solutions, yet people are by and large economically ignorant and so he will likely get away with this.

It should be an interesting 4 years to say the least.

Which is why I do not understand why the Republicans top down took the ‘bailout’ bait and voted for it. They would be far more credible to have stood up and said NO. They knowingly or unknowingly made themselves the go to forever, liberal scapegoats. WHYYYY?

We will know by the next congressional election whether or not the Republican party can "right" itself (pun intended)....

What the heck is this guy talking about?

In an earlier video, he was gushing about 0Zero and saying how he voted for him. So, what's up? Has he got cold feet now that the chickens are coming home to roost??

RE “Which is why I do not understand why the Republicans top down took the ‘bailout’ bait and voted for it

Because it was the Rep party leader, GWB's plan and then the media beat the hell out of the House Republicans, and scared the daylights out of the public. And afterward they daily came up with bailout screw up stories to make Rs look bad after beating them to vote for it.

You are dreaming. You can see all his videos in two channels at comment #1 and he never said he voted for BoB. He specifically said both McCain and Obama stink. He was for Ron Paul who looks pretty smart now .

I just saw your picture on another thread and several thought that it is time to start seeing “Wolverines” in various locations.

Fortunately, we have the Internet, where our grandfathers had the newspapers.

Things are going to get real nasty. I'm not listening to any lies from the ruling class.
