How Obama Thinks
Forbes ^

Posted on 09/10/2010 7:58:45 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history. Thanks to him the era of big government is back. Obama runs up taxpayer debt not in the billions but in the trillions. He has expanded the federal government's control over home mortgages, investment banking, health care, autos and energy. The Weekly Standard summarizes Obama's approach as omnipotence at home, impotence abroad.

The President's actions are so bizarre that they mystify his critics and supporters alike. Consider this headline from the Aug. 18, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal: "Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling." Did you read that correctly? You did. The Administration supports offshore drilling--but drilling off the shores of Brazil. With Obama's backing, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered $2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to finance exploration in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro--not so the oil ends up in the U.S. He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil.

****

Obama Sr. : quote: In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed."

Not sure I accept the premise.

Then you didn't read the entire article.

So you’re telling me he’s actually capable of rational thought?

Sorry, article or not, I ain’t buying it.

(But I did go back and read the article - thanks!)

“Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history.’

An excellent assessment!

[Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president]
 
He's more pro-fascist than he is anti-business - as in, he likes businesses and evidently thinks every government ought to own a few.
 
Everything he's done so far is consistent with Mussolini's state-corporatism:
Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.
--Benito Mussolini

Why don’t Republicans run campaign ads with Clinton claiming “the era of big government is over”......and his claims about budget deficits?

Because it is going to be Hillary's campaign theme: "The Era of Big Government is Over"

Except we cannot repeal or reduce what is already in place.

I think most people fail to understand that people on the left, like Obama, only embrace islam because islam can help destroy the capitalistic, limited-government nations of the world.

It is just like Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo becoming allies even though all three had different views of the world. They figured once the world was dominated, they could either carve it up or battle it out for ultimate control.

The rest (unions, environmentalists, professors, homosexuals, etc) are just useful idiots assisting these power-hungry people take control, but who will be discarded once the heavy-lifting is complete.

“I think most people fail to understand that people on the left, like Obama, only embrace islam because islam can help destroy the capitalistic, limited-government nations of the world.”

I agree.
Always remember, Obama is a Marxist first.
Religion is only a tool, exploited only if it advances world wide Marxism.
Also true, the homos, environmentalist, etc. are just tools or puppets in the grand plan.

Obama became who he is...and has gone where he has, solely because of BIPARTISAN collusion to bring more power to DC.

Obama...and ObamaCare are the best things to hit DC since the New Deal. The Rinocratic Party, and their K St enablers, now have their tools and toys for the next 30 years. When its time for ‘Bammy to exit stage left..they will make him do so..and that will ONLY happen when the toys are threatened. Then he will get his own memorial on the National Mall.

“Obviously Obama hasn’t grasped that.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Obama hasn’t grasped that nor have millions, perhaps billions of others. It would appear that there is a huge movement to kill the normal human desire to be independent and autonomous. The current depression is far more dangerous than the one in the thirties simply because not only is there a much larger population which means the current level cannot be sustained except by ultramodern agricultural techniques but only a very small minority know anything about how to produce food. In the thirties we still had a large percentage who knew how to survive on their own so long as they were physically able. Now we have vast numbers who could literally starve in the midst of plenty for lack of basic knowledge that used to be common. I can actually visualize masses fighting over scraps and it could happen very soon, in fact it will happen barring some kind of complete turnaround.

There is a recent proliferation of “survival” shows on television but they all concentrate on one individual or two surviving in the wilderness. We need something on how to survive in what is left of civilization (which is fading fast).
