"Ah, did not have Political Relations with THAT COMMUNISM,
and I never once lied, not once, never.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- President Barack Obama told business leaders Wednesday that he's no socialist plotting a government takeover of the economy.
His administration isn't anti-business, he said in a speech to the Business Roundtable, an organization of chief executive officers of major U.S. corporations. "It's pro-America and I don't apologize for it."
"Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market," Obama said. "I believe businesses like yours are the engines of economic growth in this country."
I firmly believe that America's success in large part depends on your success," Obama said.
"We are all in this together," he said in asking the business leaders to help him create a smarter government that will be pro-growth and pro-jobs. Obama's remarks came on the eve of a high-stakes summit with congressional leaders about the way forward on health-care reform, momentum for which seems to have stalled on Capitol Hill just short of the finish line.
On top issues such as health care, Obama has dealt directly with the Business Roundtable and similar groups of top executives, rather than letting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce represent the business point of view. That strategy has had some successes, notably in energy policy -- but it's been at the cost of angering one of the biggest and most influential lobbying organizations in Washington.

Plotting implies secrecy and future action. It’s no secret and it’s already happening.
To quote US Representative Joe Wilson, “YOU LIE!!!”
Yes you are a socialist.
So what you are saying is Obama is a chicken lover.
“And the only time he had a job in the private sector he said “he felt like he was behind enemy lines.”
What job was that?
No I'm not.
I thought he already gave his Dusseldorf speech back when he trolled San Francisco’s Billionaire Row for money.
obama’s comments are a clear signal that he has no concept of the free market. He doesn’t realize that the people he is speaking to didn’t become CEO’s without a savvy understanding of free market principles. These executives will see right through his words and know that he is everything that he is denying to be. His ignorance confirms his lack of business experience w/a devious philosophy for destroying the private sector.
Obama loves chickens like no one I’ve ever met.
Tell me how you really feel about it. LOL!
Pinocchiobama nose is growing. Hey call out the fire department Liar, Liar Pants afire!
“I am not a crook!”. — Richard Nixon
“I am not a socialist!” — Barack Obama
One statement is no more credible than the other.
I meant Obama :)
Would someone ask Obama:
1) if he supports capitalism along with free markets??
2) why he supports progressive tax rates
3) why he pushes for gov’t control of health care
No ... you’re a fascist communist
Hrmmmm...I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that his administration's actions never match the words that spew forth from his piehole.
The illigitimate mulatto in the Whirte House can say all he wants whatever he says ... and I don't really care if I get the socialist/communist/fascist thing correct ... the fraud king bastard should be removed
Does this marxist even know what a socialist is?
As Joe Wilson said, “you lie”! I can’t wait until 2012!
