Obama is going to keep on spending and spending... It’s not going to stimulate anything except the debt!

Because he’s,in essence , talking down capitalism and the free market economy. It’s all part of the gov’t dependency plan the RATS have been playing for the last 70 years.

That's what Barack Obama needs to learn. He needs to learn the difference between being a leader and being a manipulator. He needs to learn how to solve problems, not exploit them

Talking down the economy is part of the socialist plan known as Cloward-Piven Strategy.

Talking down the economy is rule one in justifying his abuse of power and imposing policy that would NEVER PASS in separate legislation.

Very simple.

Hussein works for (just an idiot figurehead, really) the guys who desire to take this nation down.

And they won't stop until they've done exactly that.

Fear Is right
up there with greed and guilt as a motivator.

It is much easier to frighten people than to urge them to do the right thing.

It’s the affirmative action effect - low expectations.

Just like the auto makers will come to the trough every couple of months for their billions. And the demwits will give it to them because the unions own the demwit party.

The words and actions of The One (piss be upon him) are exactly what The Majority of The American People want. They are Leftists, just like Him.

They voted for Him, crying “Who is like unto The One (his name be pissed)?” Therefore they do love what He bringeth unto them.

It is easy for the one and his handlers to “talk down” America and Americans.

They claim to want to change this country so they (and the world) can love it. But their contempt for all Americans except the “victims” - is manifest.

It’s okay for 0bama to “talk down” the economy but when W mentioned economic troubles when he ran the first time the media and people now employed by 0bama hammered him for talking down the economy.

He was not trained to give people hope and encourage them to strive to be better, his training was to convince people that they were truly downtrodden and oppressed, and that only the government could save them. He was trained to get people to follow their leader in “fighting the system” and to convince them that only their blind allegiance to the “party/leader” would give the leader power to wrest control of the government and thus to give them what they want, modern bread and circuses of ancient Rome.

Because his stupid PORKULOUS is doomed to fail, and he wants to LOWER expectations, plus more pork bills to come.
The aim is to make the USA a complete welfare state. His model is Hugo Chavez, who he praised today ....for tossing term limits. We have a dictator on our hands.

He has no desire to inspire ppl, he wants ppl oppressed.

I've long said that were I king for one day, I would mandate that no law could come out of congress that by itself exceeded in length (based on word count) the constitution and its ammendments. If our entire nation can be defined in that document, some law on protecting field mice should be able to be too. Now, had this been the law of the land things like this porkulus package would have never been permitted. And those who envision themselves as kings such as Obama would be forced to cram through hundreds of smaller pieces of legislation, not one massive one.
