Obama’s Sign of Madness
Commentary Magazine ^ | April 2, 2012 | Peter Wehner

Posted on 04/05/2012 12:47:17 PM PDT by QT3.14

During remarks in Portland, Maine, on Friday, President Obama said, “We won’t win the race for new jobs and new businesses and middle-class security if we cling to this same old, worn-out, tired ‘you’re on your own’ economics that the other side is peddling. It was tried in the decades before the Great Depression. It didn’t work then. It was tried in the last decade. It didn’t work. You know, the idea you would keep on doing the same thing over and over again, even though it’s been proven not to work. That’s a sign of madness.”

‘Your on your pwn’ = 13th Amendment abolishing slavery.

"you’re on your own"

That is how Socialists view Freedom, and in their model of the world, it does not work.

No matter what, he’ll probably be elected again. (And the SCOTUS will declare Obamacare constitutional.)

IMHO

Let's see...in less than 200 years America, a Republic, rose and became the world's leader in...Industry/Productivity, Commerce and Banking, Science, Social Justice, Agriculture, Real Estate acquisitions for those other than the very rich, Educational Advancement, Entrepreneurial Opportunities, and many other areas. Millions and millions of immigrants flocked to our shores...not because what America offers was not working, but because what we had was working so magnificently. Did they forget to listen to people like Obama who continually finds fault with our system of Capitalism and who want to institute a Socialist regime? No, they continued to prove these doom and gloom carriers totally wrong.

Obama should chose his words more wisely when he talks about who is showing "a sign of madness." There has NEVER been a successful Socialist country and Obama/Liberals/Progressives should heed the words of Winston Churchill who said: "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

But, of course, Obama doesn't like the truth...he tossed out the bust of Churchill from the White House, just so he wouldn't be reminded of Churchill's wisdom. Since day one, Obama has been continually trying to dismantle this country from our Constitution on down. He does not care about the people, or our status, or productivity...he only wants our dependency on the government while the power to control the masses will rest with a few privileged friends of the dictator. Just as other dictatorships have always wanted.

When he calls a special press briefing and solemnly states that, “Man will never fly in a heavier than air craft, or a lighter than air one either for that matter” maybe some people will finally realize there are too many bats in his belfry. That statement would make at least as much sense as many of the ones he has already made.

“AIDS related dementia?”

It’s syphillitic spirochetes. Same as that other Chicago gangster, Al capone.

It’s passed down from one imbecilic generation to another in Chicago.

Too much cornpone inter-breeding.

My mother said the same thing tonight, she said, “he (Obama) is unstable mentally, he needs help.”

Obama is certainly mentally unstable, but what he needs is not "help" but confinement, as a danger to others. For severe malignant personality disorders the likes of him, there is no "help."

I guess we’ll know for sure that he’s not the antichrist if he’s out next January. If he gets re-elected we’ll still have to wonder.

Agreed. He needs to be confined or at least put out of power to where he can harm no one.

He's got the nuclear "football" right there, for chrissakes. Someone get him outta there!

Paging Joe Biden -- we need acting-president relief ASAP!

This skinny little POS Ubama is all about reparations through the back door.
Every single thing this guy does is about using the power of thuggish big government to steal from whitey and hand over the loot to Holder’s people.

Yeah, I wonder if Barry Soetoro would ever go apesh-- and he tried to push the button on the "football," would the AF officer or whomever try to stop him? I know if I was Russia, Red China or whomever, I'd wonder about his sanity too. I'm not happy about a President Biden either but he's so dumb, he might not be able to figure out how to work the "football."

Nothing has been tried more times and failed than socialist, utopian statism. Obama is a socialist, utopian statist. Obama is mad.
