RealClearPolitics ^ | May 1, 2010 | RealClearPolitics

President Obama praised government during his commencement address at the Unniversity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "Government is what ensures that mines adhere to safety standards and that oil spills are cleaned up by the companies that caused them," he said. "We've also clearly seen the dangers of too little government, like when a lack accountability on Wall Street nearly leads to the collapse of our entire economy," Obama added.

Obama and his communist cabal are the enemy, more specifically.

Historians will have a field day with this guy. The word “interregnum” comes to mind as an appropriate adjective.

Who here DIDN’T see this coming? Barack the narcissist calling himself the salvation of these grieving miner families.

Is it even possible for this freak to get more disgusting?

The financial sector is, of course, the most regulated sector of the economy. The “Wall Street” he talks about are all rent-seekers. That is, they seek advantages based on government largess and regulation. Goldman Sachs’ business model involves getting former employees into high government positions.

We fought a war to free us from the dangers of too much government.

Hope he keeps a clear thought about this fact.

What exactly have the government bureaucrats been doing? I thought they were supposed to prevent this kind of thing.

He is quite open about being anti-American.

Obaam is a truly evil person.

"We've also clearly seen the dangers of too little government..."

He isn't even hiding it anymore. Obama is a clear and present danger to both the Constitution and our freedom. This will not end well.

This thread needs someone to post photos of all the things big government is really good at and really famous for.

- Like cattle cars filled with humans destined for the gas chambers.

- Like photos of the field in China in 1953 with thousands of headless bodies.

- Like photos from the starvation in the Ukraine

- Like photos of Soviet soldiers lining people up in front of a trench, 20 at a time, to be machine gunned into the trench.

- Like photos from www.therealcuba.com

Yes, Mr. Obama, the only thing Big Government is really efficient at is killing large numbers of people in the shortest period of time.

This at the University of Michigan, in a State in decline, near Detroit, a city in death throes.

Does he diagnosis not enough Government for these problems?

The 6 million Jews sent to the gas chambers saw the dangers of too MUCH government.

As did the tens of millions sent to the Soviet gulags under Stalin.

As did the 70 million Chinese exterminated under Mao’s regime.

How does 0bama think America got to be so free and prosperous for the past 200+ years WITHOUT big government??
