“I think Obama is in full panic meltdown mode. He came in wanting to impose socialism/far left liberalism, but unlike some, I don’t think he intended to destroy the economy in the process. [I think Soros definitely intended that, and his bought and paid for influence is wrecking us. Obama is only unwittingly serving his puppet master, however, and he will be the last one to find out the degree to which he’s been played like a rube.]
Anyway, the chief (perhaps only) joy in a socialist’s life is spending OPM. Obama came to power licking his lips over the prospect of massively redistributing wealth for a full eight years. He never intended to run the well dry in less than two. Now he is frustrated, and as panicky as a heroin addict going cold turkey over his (Obama’s) sudden inability to pass more gargantuan ‘bail out’ bills, etc. Added to which, his humiliation in Asia cannot have helped his mental state at all.
Bottom line: he is not intellectually or economically astute enough to figure out what went wrong, so now he’s just flailing. He has Axelrod float a trial balloon about temporarily extending the Bush tax buts, and nutroots/moonbats go WILD. Obama yanks back that proposal, but is now at a total loss. As Scarborough reported, top Dems are admitting Obama doesn’t have a clue. It will only get worse from here.”
I like your summary, and rings true to me. Thanks, Fantasywriter.
Thanks for letting me know you see it that way too. I figured I’d get smacked around by the ‘Obama is an evil genius and is doing all this on purpose’ crowd, but I felt like posting it anyway.
I just see nothing—Nothing—in Obama’s background to indicate he’s sufficiently competent and self disciplined to implement Cloward-Piven on his own. He’s too enamored of/focused on who he is—a tall, slim, ‘hip’ bi-racial guy with incredible insights (in his own mind, anyway)—to be steering such a massive and well calculated strategy. Obama’s mind is on his next party, his next photo op, and his next golf game. Larger minds than his, with a longer track record of success [if you can call the kind of destruction Soros has wreaked in any way ‘successful’] are guiding our disastrous economic policy, imho.
