President Obama told a Hollywood fundraiser Monday night that he and congressional Democrats have passed the most progressive legislation in decades.

"We have been able to deliver the most progressive legislative agenda -- one that helps working families -- not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three," Obama said.

We've also noticed record unemployment, a soaring deficit and a populace that is growing angrier and angrier...

You're absolutely right...these are the hallmarks of a socialist government, and we've got 'em...

He has a festering rage building from the far left. He needed to go into the lion’s den and apply some salve. Unfortunately for him, the right is now very focused and wide awake.

This is twice in the span of five days he’s kicked dems right in the shins with comments than can only result in the dems going off message and playing defense closer and closer to the election.

Back in the 60s, my junior high social studies teacher, Mr. Steiner, told our class that the Left (Communist) to Right (Fascist) political spectrum could be more accurately described by a circle rather than a line. The end results of the policies of the two extremes tended to share some characteristics.

I think we were told the line theory so that we would believe the middle is the place to be. That is, agreeing to accept a little socialism is good. Now I like to think of it as the right is freedom and the left is subjugation, no matter what name it goes by. Fascism and Communism are BOTH Progressive and thereby bad.

[BWDog]

I agree. His using the circle was probably because fascism and communism were arbitrarily placed at opposite ends of a spectrum. On a linear “freedom/liberty” scale, communism (no private ownership) and fascism (private ownership w/ government telling the owner exactly what to do with it) are right next to each other over at the “not-free” end.

RE :”We have been able to deliver the most progressive legislative agenda — one that helps working families — not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three,” Obama said.”

That is one way to look at it, especially because under Obama few families are working anymore as they are laid off with no jobs in Obama-ville(as Rush calls it) .

Don't forget, in-spite of these great Obama accomplishments Obama is NOT responsible for anything you don't like, someone else is.

On social issues, Obama is a Marxist

On economic issues, Obama is a fascist.

The best of both worlds ;-)

“We have been able to deliver the most fascist legislative agenda — one that helps unions and politicians — not just in one generation, maybe two, maybe three,”

There fixed it ......
