When liberal politicians run out of ideas and are sinking in the polls faster than a holed U-boat in the North Atlantic they invariably return to the tired old clichés of class warfare – tax the rich, the wealthy must pay up their “fair share”, ruthless hedge fund managers are earning millions off the backs of the poor, etc. As the president put it while defending his American Jobs Act yesterday, using the term “fair” no less than 13 times

Barack Obama reminds me of Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock when they were Labour Party leaders in the 1980s, both out of touch politicians stuck in the language of class war, and devoid of any real ideas to create jobs and generate wealth. Back in June 1983, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had a terrific response to the rather pathetic class war warriors of the Labour Left

What the president cannot face is the fact that his Left-wing agenda simply does not work, and is being increasingly rejected by the American public.

For ALL of his actions to be 100% detrimental to the economy is so far beyond belief, the only reasonable conclusion is that his destructive actions were planned and deliberate. See Cloward-Piven. Saul Alinsky.
I wouldn’t say that. I think Neil is a decent fellow.

The 44-year-old, who is married to Lord Kinnock’s son Stephen, has promised to turn the economy around and kick start growth by investing in education and infrastructure to create jobs.
Addressing victorious Social Democratic Party members last night, Ms Thorning-Schidmt said: “Today is the day things change in Denmark. This evening we’ve shown that the Social Democrats are a big and driving force in Denmark. We’ve written history today.”
Do the words sound familiar? Spend more govt. money.
He is also somewhat of a tax cheat, working in Switzerland and paying Swiss taxes instead of the higher Danish taxes...
