From the taxpayers, of course.

"He has thought of where the money will come from for this,"

Your anecdotes sound about right.

And it is Hussein's experience. He sat on a board to improve community activist education that was given tens of millions of dollars by rich people. He just passed it out and that was the end of it.

This is a narcissist being used by major players devoted to the destruction of America.

This is the confluence of the Marxist hatred of capitalism evinced by Mom the atheist, Grampa the cell-brother of Uncle Frank, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, and the hidden Red hand. . . .

. . .and the Islamist imperative to subjugate the dhimmi and bend the world to the yoke of Islam (now serving 57 states), "my Muslim faith", "the sweetest sound on earth". . .

. . .black liberation theology calling for the punishment of America and the destruction of Israel. . .

Krauthammer looks for policy in Obama when there is no policy.

There is a prime directive to destroy America as the Red Guard destroyed the old China, as Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge destroyed Cambodia, as Raila Odinga grabbed power in Kenya.

Obama has a machete and a burning tire--that's his logo, that's his policy.

American freedom is being thrown on the fire day by day.

The eunuchs of the media are the Ministry of Propaganda trumpeting the glory of Dear Latte the infallible.

There is no manifesto--The Leader unsays that which he said an hour ago and dares you to object.

As Mohammed claimed to be the culmination of Jesus and Abraham so The Leader claims to be the successor of Lincoln and Reagan.

This PUNK who can merely read a teleprompter and can't prove his citizenship has been allowed to strut back and forth upon the stage of history.

Excellent point. He walked around and gladhanded people who worshipped him--he was a "clean, articulate black man" to quote the moron now living in the VP's house, who'd gone through Harvard, look at how IMPRESSIVE this clean, articulate black man is who's coming to our doors and asking what we need and how he'll help us!

After hearing the complaints of the locals, he'd go back to the ACORN hole and talk about what they needed to do to get dems in office--mostly rile up the locals who were being taught that government owed them something. And when money was needed, he didn't have to figure out a job he had to do for 40-60 hours a week--his job was schmoozing money out of those stupid rich people whose guilt drove them to donate.

And then he delegated some more, in the campaign.

And now here he is.

Notice that I didn't mention any experience that required him to punch a clock, break a sweat, do a job he didn't like in order to pay the bills, or MANAGE anything.

Man, this is depressing.

obaMAOISM!

“Where’s the money coming from?”

Where did it come from for the Russian Revolution? Confiscation.

“The lamestream media mullahs are his propoganda machine”

That’s only one cog. The motor is the ‘public schools’ under the NEA, and it’s been running well since the late 60’s. As I pointed out earlier - Goebbels would be jealous.

re: GWB “He doesn’t understand macro economics and he’s a failure when it comes to defending himself and capitalism”

That may be true but his biggest fault was to not veto Republican bills that came from Congress from 2000-2006. Were it not for the Republicans in Congress, spending like Democrats, there wouldn’t be the comparison available that the Dems and MSM (I repeat myself) have today to throw up in the Republican’s faces. And Everyone knows that’s a valid claim.

The true culprits in that, are the older Republican house chairmen, with a very few exceptions. It is the same people that stopped short the Gingrich revolution (including Gingrich himself on some issues). We had a chance to abolish or at least put up to Clinton, doing away with all kinds of liberal feelgood programs like PBS, NPR, National Endowment for the Arts, many subsidies and pork and they were all stopped at the Republican Committee Chairmen’s desk. We won’t ever change anything until All of those guys are gone and replaced with true conservatives that don’t get comfortable once they get some seniority.

[montesquieu]

He believes that if they get a bill SAYING the money is there, the money will BE there.

He has thought of where the money will come from for this, and decided it’ll come from wherever any government money comes from, and there’s ALWAYS gonna be more of it from that place...wherever it is.

You are right! I’m not sure how many people know that Hawaii has already tried the universal healthcare thing and it was a dismal failure. After less that 6 mos, it had the whole state completely out of money. What happened is the people who could afford their own coverage just stopped using their own insurance and started getting the universal healthcare that was provided to the lower income people. I mean, who doesn’t want healthcare for free or next to nothing??!

Anyhow, it got completely out of hand and they had to shut the whole thing down. I have heard O’Reilly and Rush talk about it on their shows.

Having said all this, do you think the little liberals learned a lesson from this failure? NO. That want to take this failure and go National or hell, why not Global for goodness sakes! It is all about the NWO now anyway isn’t it?

Liberals are good with theory, books and sitting in universities. Out here in the REAL world where it counts, they haven’t a clue.

Good luck with this one Bambi. I’m sure noone will be rationing your healthcare!!!

Liberals are good with theory, books and sitting in universities. Out here in the REAL world where it counts, they haven’t a clue.

Rush touched on this. He stated that liberals have no faith in systems they do not control....like the free market.

Because capitalism is not controlled, liberals only see the problems with it....the failures. Liberals believe they can devise a system where there are no failures.....but, as a result, there will be no successes either.

“As we’ve seen, Obama delegates like crazy, because he doesn’t know how government works. He sees his job as providing the Big Picture, the Vision Thing, and everyone else’s jobs as paying for it and making it happen. He is obviously bored with the hard part of government. He isn’t a wonk, he’s a Leader, the guy who gets out of college and instantly wants to run the company when he’s hired to the mail room.”

Very, very insightful comment.

377...

One of the best post I have read in a long time. His magical desire for the money to be their has been delegated to Pelosi/Reid. If the scenario that Walter Zimmerman ( on Glen Beck's radio show yesterday ) plays out, i.e we are on the verge of a depression the revenue will not be their, no matter how hard they tax. The whole bunch of have never created a job, or taken an accounting course from what I see of them. IMHO at that point they can't print our way out of this, people may be awake by then, and their grand scemes just may collapse under their own weight.

"Let the debate begin.........."

"Obama is a radical communist, and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it's true," said Keyes, who ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the state's open Senate seat in 2004. "He is going to destroy this country, and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist."

[Darkwolf377]

Great point about Hawaii.

Having said all this, do you think the little liberals learned a lesson from this failure? NO.

I have lived with liberals and even a communist from Europe, and I can tell you the line they ALL believe in:

"Communism has never been done right."

Trust me, they ALL say a version of this at some point. They can tell you at length how each time it's been done someone, usually some meddling American politician or businessman, has screwed up their beautiful dream. BUT WHEN IT'S DONE RIGHT, boy, you look out, because everyone will see how perfect it is, which of course is why meddling Americans are so scared blah blah blah.

My response has always been that there is NO political theory that's enacted purely, and that one difference between capitalism and socialism is that when capitalism goes bad there are unemployment lines, while when communism goes bad there are gulags. (That always ticks 'em off!)

Liberals are dreamers. Like children who make in the potty, they expect applause for doing what everyone else does routinely--we ALL dream, we ALL wish everyone could be happy just by wishing it so. Liberals think just believing that makes them good people, and thus we should let them run everything.

Well, now they do run everything.

The whole bunch of have never created a job, or taken an accounting course from what I see of them.

They don't HAVE to have done that messy "job creating" stuff--that's for the little people to figure out. No one expected Jesus to make a job (these people see themselves as modern equivalents, don't you forget that for one second--they are here to save people from their stupid selves), no one expected Gandhi or MLK to create jobs, that's detail stuff, they're Big Picture people, will you stop bugging them with all that?

They believe that the engine of government just needs to get going, and everything else will follow along. If government tosses this money out there, it will cause people to start going to work (it will???), and those pork projects will lead to people buying lunch in diners and buying cars to get to work, and spending that $13 on bread and meat as that idiot said on the talk show, and, well, don't you GET it? All this leads to money just...coming!

(Never mind that under Bush's tax cuts more money poured into the gov't than ever, proving that when you cut taxes economic activity increases, which means more money goes to more places/people who then have to pay taxes on it--economics is a verb, you could say, the money has to be made to move from one person to another, while high taxes cause people to STOP that spending...but I ramble.)

Obama and his crew believe that this will all work out no matter WHAT happens, so why not spend money where it will do the most good--not for the economy, but for their political futures. THAT is the point of all this, because they believe it will all work out, and all they really want to do is be able to point to SOMEthing and say "We caused this to happen, see?"

[Always Right]

Right, wrong or in-between, my question is: Where's the money coming from? Has he thought of that?

Obama holds the belief that the rich can be taxed at extraordinary high rates, and he will be able to collect more taxes.

Wow! The Hammer’s finally figured out The Messiah is a Marxist. Who woulda thunk it?
