Obama warns about dangers of market-based systems: 'Compatible with slavery'

But just because an economic system generated wealth and innovation doesn’t mean it guarantees a good society," Obama said. "Because from the outset, market-based systems have been compatible with slavery, caste systems, colonialization, war, exploration, corruption, fraud, autocracy, the poisoning of our natural environment."

As Obama listed, the audience applauded. The former president went on to credit Democratic governments for "moderating capitalism's excesses" with a "social safety net." According to him, it will take "young leaders to help us think and act anew" about "creating an economic system that supports and sustains our democratic values."

Using the theological sense of the verb, God damn Obama.

It’s clear Obozo never took economics 101. Slavery is anathema to free markets. Slavery prevents the rise of a strong middle class, essential for a market economy to thrive.

I imagine BO woulda worked in the House.
our democratic values- meaning “Mob Rules” which leaves little freedom to choose self determination.

Obama: “
But just because an economic system generated wealth and innovation doesn’t mean it guarantees a good society,” Someone should ask Obama to tell the world what he considers a ‘good society’: The Soviet Union? The PRC? Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Nazi Germany?

Obama, get thee to a nunnery.

If thine own eye offend thee, pluck it out!

Bill O’Reilly is a loud mouthed ignoramus who hasn’t the faintest clue what Classic Liberalism entails. Obama is a crypto-Muslim and not-so-crypto-Communist. About as far from a classic liberal as one can be.

Since the homosexual Obama has millions now he is admitting he is a beneficiary of slavery.

Just like EVERY speech he ever gave. He was allegedly eloquent, but never said anything.

Yep.

The demonic cult of Islam is “compatible” with slavery, yet he seems to be just okey dokey with them.

Hmmmm. Curious that.
