Oh, ok. Two weeks ago it was “crisis to catastrophe that we may never recover from.” Now it’s “not so bad.” Make up your mind, Zer0!!

He’s figured out that people don’t want to hear his catastrophe-so-we-have-to-go-commie rhetoric,

so he’s changing what he’s saying.

He’s not changing what he believes, or what he’ll do, he’s just changing what he’s saying.

“The Great Spreader, however, is a committed, leftist ideologue.”

...AND an opportunist (that takes advantage of a crisis)

...the socialist tag doesn't bother him. He's surrounded by them.
What does tweak his nose is the fact that he is being EXPOSED...thus we have the assault on Rush and many others who do the exposing.....
Liberal socialist can't stand the spot light, because it offends the average American.....so they attack people personally..they're major problem now is their realizing their vastly outnumbered and people ain't buying his “crisis” remedy

"opportunist"

What I meant by Clinton being an opportunist is that he would adopt conservative policies (lowering the cap-gain tax for example) when it suited his purpose. We will no such tax cuts for the "wealthy" under the reign of The Grand (Re)Distributor.

I’ve noticed that about leftists for a long time -

they aren’t bothered by their beliefs, they’re only bothered when the light shines on their beliefs.

John 3:19-20
19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

I was for the crisis before I was against it.

Pretty simple to see Obama’s thinking - the economy is in the toilet, please give me everyting I want. Now that I have everything I want, the economy is not that bad. (Cross fingers and hope stock market goes up).

"I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role," Obama insisted.

zero's been takin' truth tellin' lessons from clinton.

I guess the way that Obama's minions were talking down the economy all the way through the election cycle, then after the election, then after the inauguration, then after the 7000 point drop in the dow, then after the talk of "if we don't pass this now, we might NEVER recover," then after the talk of "never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste," then after the talk of how this will be as bad as the "great depression," the Obama administration is starting to think, "you know, maybe things really aren't that bad after all... Most importantly, don't change your spending habits! Because that would be bad for the economy!"

I believe you are correct. Clinton was more interested in being a celebrity, where he was going to have sex next, and what the media's contrived poll numbers stated than true socialism. He is a committed leftist, but tried so hard to be JFK without understanding that JFK would be called a "neocon" now. In essence, Clinton, while a leftist dictator wannabe, was too enamored with the trappings of power to do much beyond falling into his own traps. Obama is similar in that way, but his radical street thug (National Socialist "community organizer") mentality gives him that hate-filled drive.

That and Clinton lost his chance after the Republicans took back congress. His last 6 years were more focused on legacy.

However, Clinton's staff, flunkies, and thugs are all hard core totalitarian marxists of the national socialist stripe.

I also agree that the “Great Spreader”/”Messiah”/”Chosen (by ACORN) One” is a committed leftist ideologue of the most dictatorial variety. Obama has also, not surprising to those of us who never bought his lies, reinstated Clinton's most fanatical followers mentioned above.

And there is nothing in congress to stop him this time. We can hope that his and his allies’ continued excesses and gross violations of the law slow him down until the American People vote the dems and their lies out.

But, as I said to people during the campaign, “hope is not a method”.
