President Barack Obama has no intention of helping to grow the United States economy. On the contrary, he is doing everything a President can do to weaken it.
I know that sounds harsh. Maybe it seems outrageously “partisan.” Maybe it just seems outrageous.
But after roughly ten weeks, Obama has consistently proposed ideas and plans (and in one case signing legislation) that will weaken the U.S. economy, not strengthen it. To attempt to view this man through the lenses of American prosperity, and to evaluate him with the same assumptions with which the behavior of other modern-day Presidents has been evaluated - - that growing the U.S. economy is a good and noble and necessary thing - - simply makes no sense.
Yet to assess this very different President with a very different set of assumptions in mind - - that American prosperity itself is a problem to be remedied, or that the U.S. has become an economic superpower at the expense of other nations - - only then does his economic behavior appear rational. And it is now clear that President Obama’s objective is to weaken the U.S.
I didn’t arrive at this conclusion quickly. After he won the election, there was a glimmer of hope that his policies could end-up being more rational than his promises, with the appointment of Clinton-era advisor Lawrence Summers and Reagan-era advisor Paul Volcker.
But soon, very harsh Obama realities set-in. Paul Volcker has not once spoken publicly since going to work for Obama, and beltway insiders (and just about everyone who works in the world of financial media) report that Volcker has a nice office at the White House, and has virtually no contact with the President. And while Lawrence Summers has been slightly more visible publicly, Obama’s economic proposals don’t emulate anything of the sort for which Summers is known.
During his campaign, President Obama liked to reiterate that he was being advised on economics by investment guru Warren Buffett. Buffett now deems Obama’s so-called “economic stimulus bill” as largely a waste of taxpayer dollars, and has expressed alarm over the national debt that Obama’s further plans will create. With the majority of the "stimulus bill" devoted to social welfare projects- - "free" condoms, childcare , “cricket control,” tatoo removal, and so forth - - and most funding for infrastructure projects delayed until 2011 and beyond (closer to Obama's re-election race), it's difficult to argue with Buffett's assessment.
Obama repeatedly reminds Americans of the tragedy that he faces, having “inherited” a $1.3 trillion deficit from the former President, yet he spent more than half that amount with the so-called “stimulus” bill during his first six weeks as President, and has now proposed a federal budget that spends $3.6 trillion more. He campaigned on a promise to take money away from “rich” Americans and re-distribute it to people who he deemed were deserving of it, yet there is no more wealth in government coffers for President Obama to re-distribute. He is now proposing to spend the wealth of future generations of Americans - - wealth that has yet to be created - - while confidently asserting along the way that he is reducing the federal deficit, not expanding it.
President Obama also campaigned on a promise to repair relationships between the U.S. and the rest of the world, relationships that he claimed President Bush had so horribly damaged. Yet on his economic proposals, alone, foreign governments are reacting with shock and horror to our new President.
China, the largest holder of U.S. federal debt, has expressed concern over America’s growing inability to pay its bills, and has suggested that it may be time to switch to a new global currency, and to abandon the American dollar. And Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, addressing the European Union last week, described Obama’s approach to the current economic crisis as “a way to hell” and predicted bad things for America’s economic future (could it be that this man who once lived under Communist rule knows something about the problems of ‘big government?”).
If we are to take seriously the many promises that Obama made as a candidate, it is not far-fetched to think that his efforts to weaken the U.S. economy are quite intentional.
For two years, Senator Obama campaigned across the country preaching the economics of“ getting even” - - a "strategy" to make conditions more "fair" for the less fortunate by punishing successful individuals and organizations. By every indication, he is now applying that same ‘strategy” to the United States, as it relates to the rest of the world, making the world a more “fair” and “just” playing field by weakening the strongest player on the field.
After a few short weeks, it is now apparent what President Obama is doing. Will the Democratic Congress allow the President to fulfill his dreams?
Here is an evaluation, he is not a “man” he is a damn traitor. All his followers are useful (to him) idiots.
America is not just. If it were, there would be no death row, the criminals would be dead.
Jamie Gorelick would either be in prison or in the ground
Barack Obama would not be president and Acorn would never have been
He despises everything about this country and he’s the president?
America is on her own.
The author is right. It is impossible to reach any other conclusion than that Obama is intentionally trying to destroy the US in order to exact revenge for what he believes is our unfair success. We have somebody in the WH now who is dedicated to our undoing.
Yes We Can! - blame the city dwellers, the farmers, the aristocrats, the Jews, the educated, the AIG executives.
Wake Up America! Because Yes We Can! enter into the realm of total insanity, and every day we get closer and closer under this insane pukey little punk and his minions...
JUST say yes to every perversion and the rest of the world will love us.
Obama is a fascist. His true agenda is right out of Saul Alinski’s play book.
That is why Obama must campaign continuously to hoodwink America, while he is doing the dirty.
And anyone who now campaigns against Obama as Doyle has done in his Paine video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYscnFpEyA&feature=related
and as Limbaugh and others have done, will have their speech rights bought off or forcefully diminished.Doyle himself has been called to meet Obama at the WHite House and has been instructed NOT to talk to the media about it.
THe president will not leave Americans alone who speak out against him.That goes from Joe the Pumber and all the way down to anyone who stands up in Public, including a California Sherrif who was sued for wearing his uniform while speaking against Obama.
We have a fascist president. Make no mistake about it. We must force him to use violence to supress those who speak out against him. For then subsequently , we will have a measure of success against his fascist policies, and gutter Chicago politics.
Resist
“The author is right. It is impossible to reach any other conclusion than that Obama is intentionally trying to destroy the US in order to exact revenge for what he believes is our unfair success. We have somebody in the WH now who is dedicated to our undoing. “
Yet he will entertain his political donors with $100 per pound Kobe steaks while the rest of the proletariat searches out soylent green.
It’s the Soviet Politburo all over again. The only thing that can save us are term limits.
Someone needs to interview Paul Volcker. It would interesting to hear his take on things.
Hear, hear! But what is it going to take to wake us up?
To attempt to view this man through the lenses of American prosperity, and to evaluate him with the same assumptions with which the behavior of other modern-day Presidents has been evaluated - - that growing the U.S. economy is a good and noble and necessary thing - - simply makes no sense.
This, in a nutshell, is what sets Obama off from FDR. FDR, misguided as he was, wanted to expand the economy and make Americans prosperous; Obama doesn't.
“They” have the intelligence of the American public pretty well sized up. It’s no coincidence that obama interupts American Idol for his nationally televised speeches. That’s pretty much the jist of the crap that what we, as a nation, are focused on now.
0 is the smooth-talking, shyster, figurehead for a group of people that need to destroy America and Americans in order to solidify their own power and control of the world.
Once they have control they will not relinquish their power unless they are destroyed.
I fear that this is not going to end well.
From the first legal treatise written after Constitutional Ratification, and printed (as well as disributed) at the request of Congress-
By equality, in a democracy, is to be understood, equality of civil rights, and not of condition. Equality of rights necessarily produces inequality of possessions; because, by the laws of nature and of equality, every man has a right to use his faculties in an honest way, and the fruits of his labor, thus acquired, are his own. But some men have more strength than others; some more health; some more industry; and some more skill and ingenuity, than others; and according to these, and other circumstances the products of their labor must be various, and their property must become unequal. The rights of property must be sacred, and must be protected; otherwise there could be no exertion of either ingenuity or industry, and consequently nothing but extreme poverty, misery, and brutal ignorance.
St. George Tucker, "View of the Constitution of the United States" 1803
Of the Several Forms of Government, Section VI [Page 40-41]

It's not about equality, it's about control.
