During an interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook, NBC News anchorman Brian Williams opined that “the country might be better off if President Obama could simply order businesses to carry out his economic vision.”
“The market system is so chaotic and uncoordinated,” Williams complained. “Every firm, every decision-maker is left free to do as he deems best. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have one person issue the marching orders for all? That way they’d all be working on the same plan rather than wasting resources clashing with each other.”
Citing the Affordable Health Care Act as an example of what he has in mind, Williams asked “If the government can force everyone to purchase health insurance why can’t it force every business to manufacture all of its products in America? Think of the money that could be saved on transportation from not having to import anything, the time saved from not having to make decisions, and the jobs created.”
Williams assured that he personally wouldn’t have any trouble following dictates from Obama because “I can’t imagine that he would ever lead us astray. In the four years he’s been President I don’t think he’s made a single misstep. I am supremely confident of his leadership.”

Check out the big brain on Brian! Seriously, you really don’t want to open than can of worms, Brian.
Right under the title in bright red is semi-news/semi-satire.
Getting harder and harder to tell satire from the real thing.
“In four years, I don’t think Obama has made a single mis-step.”
Whoa, you almost got me there Brian.
How about these?
** fiddled while Middle East burned
** pissed away fourteen trillion dollars
** backed losing green “industries”
** friends with Hugo Chavez and enemies with Netanyahu
** Joe Biden
If Bronco Bama actually WERE a dictator, it would be ever so much simpler to draw the contrasts and take a moral stand. Not easier, but simpler.
As it is, if resistance to Current Occupant is expressed, it is only because the resistant ones are “racist”. But as a dictator, such resistance would be seen as “freedom fighters”.
Actually, race never had a thing to do with opposition to the Current Regime in the White Hut. But escalating taxation (the Obamacare taxes) has been a powerful driving force. Coupled with stifling regulations that make no economic or scientific sense, and selective law enforcement, a sense of frustration has been building among a very large part of the American electorate. It just happened that it was not yet at sufficient boil on November 6, 2012.
I just realized this is satire. I had no doubt this was true when I read it. That is how screwed up this country is! Not enough bad things can happen to Williams and his ilk!
“Satire, guys...”
Only because the link SAYS satire and that guy didn’t actually say it.
Gov Bev wanted to postpone the elections to give Hussein more time. Not satire.
Yeah, it really worked in Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, Soviet Russia, Zimbabwe...
Can you imagine, for even one brief little second, Williams saying that about a REPUBLICAN President??
It doesn’t piss me off so much that he said something like this - it pisses me off that ‘Journalists’ like Williams still insist that they are ‘un-biased’.
Damn it! You did it to me again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Satire - sigh. I really need to check the sources a little more closely :P
At least with this attempt to polish your own apple you are not stepping on the still-warm bodies of dead children.
LOL, good one! It’s like fishing with dynamite around here.
Brian Williams wants a DICTATOR?...well,..... he can go and move to Cuba or Venezuela.... he will be happy there..... and... by the way ....he should take Obama with him....
