Roger Ailes: Barack Obama an unsuccessful socialist

By: Meredith Shiner November 17, 2010 07:31 AM EST

Fox News President Roger Ailes says in a new interview that President Barack Obama is failing and has a "different belief system than most Americans."

“The president has not been very successful,”Ailes told The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz. “He just got kicked from Mumbai to South Korea, and he came home and attacked Republicans for it. He had to be told by the French and the Germans that his socialism was too far left for them to deal with.

“He just has a different belief system than most Americans," Ailes added.

But Ailes defended former President George W. Bush, whom he dubbed as a "poor guy" forced out of the national spotlight but regaining popularity for having left it.

“This poor guy, sitting down on his ranch clearing brush, gained a lot of respect for keeping his mouth shut," Ailes said. "I literally never heard an Obama speech that didn’t blame Bush.”

When was the last time you heard of a life saving medical innovation coming out of Sweden or Finland? So much for socialism working.

BTW I play online poker at Full Tilt poker and listen to Europeans (Germans and Scandinavians mostly) b*tch about the taxes they pay and the cost of everything from gas to beer.

The O’s demise slated to begin on November 23rd (Supreme Court hearing Kerchner v. Obama et al).

I have a feeling the Republicans delayed their summit meeting with Obama until November 30th to see what the outcome may be. Why have a summit with an illegitimate prez?

My sister married a Dutchman and they have been quite happy with their system despite the high taxes.

My brother in law’s father is way better off with his government pension than our mother with social security.

But as I said, once the population changes and the attitudes toward a free ride change then it starts crumbling. And, I also think if they had to pay full price for their own defense it would strain their systems significantly.

Anyway, that’s just IMHO.

I think most Europeans have a very different view of freedom.

Call him what he really is, a Communist.

Sorry, America can't handle the truth.

The problem is not Obama’s success. We kinda lucky - he’s apparently pretty stupid and he’s slipped the control of his handlers.

The problem is the constituency that voted for him and will vote for any other commie pinko fellow traveler that comes along. I’m almost beginning to believe that we ARE headed to another civil war. IF it weren’t for entertainment media generated apathy, we’d probably already be at the shooting stage...

“He just has a different belief system than most Americans," Ailes added.

A slight disagreement.

Most Americans don't have a belief system.

Of those that do, yes, his is diametrically opposed.

0b0z0 isn't a Socialist. Call him what he really is, a Communist.

Close enough. No need to split hairs.

Commie/Marxist/Socialist/Leftist...they're all different shades of the same anti-American, anti-Constitution mindset.

Don’t forget “Progressive” - the new rebranding the liberals are trying.

Hey roger... why did you help to elect him then? Why did you fire Britt Hume's wife from the position of News Director? How does it feel to be a butt boy for the house of saud?

They also have lived under the umbrella of the US Military for decades and they did not have to project power beyond their own borders.

The label, "Progressive" is only new to folks under 40. Those of us who went to school in an era when kids still got a semblance of an education, know better.

I remember my uber-lib brother once telling me, "You need to be a Progressive." I replied, "Oh, you mean Commie", and laughed so hard in his face, that he shrank into himself. He honestly thought that he was pulling a fast one on me.

How have you been, WF?

No need to split hairs.

Rather, branches not hairs! LOL!

I'm sure there are books about the differences and I'm no expert. Changing their name daily says a lot!

What I notice is the brainwashing that goes on in the MSM. They are "willing" to defend 0b0z0 on the "Socialism" charge because they can say that Western Europe isn't "that bad" anyway. After all, Western European countries are democracies that respect their constitutions and freedoms, albeit "less freedoms" than ours. Case in point, the Newsweek front page: We're All Socialists.

Communists follow exactly what you said, anti-Constitutionalists and Anti-(their people) because, by definition, a Communist rule IS nothing but ruthless slavery.

Our Republican/Conservative Reps. are quite afraid of upsetting the Media. We The People tell it like it is!

Yeah, books written by liberal eggheads, no doubt.

Perhaps my thinking just isn't "nuanced" enough, but as far as I'm concerned, Communist/Leftist/Socialist/Marxist/Progressive/Liberal - are all just different shades of the same death cult philosophy.
