“He didn’t nationalize the banks”
Statements like this stub me. It’s as if the banking industry hasn’t been controlled by a cartel blessed with monopoly power on the issuance of legal tender for the past century, during much of which it was illegal to privately own the most popular alternative currency (gold). No, Uncle Sam does not outright own the bank around the corner from your house. But we’ve got the next worst thing.

“Obama warned us what he would do, and few listened”
Joe the Plumber seemed to be listening, but the people who are supposed to be listening for us were more interested in what evils lurked in the heart of Joe the Plumber.

“He only nationalized General Motors!”
I forget, didn’t Bush the Younger technically do that? Or maybe it just sorta happened, and no one was to blame.
To: Tublecane
No. TARP was a bad idea but Bush’s version of it was for the financial industry only. Fairway Barry expanded it to the auto companies etc.

Then why do the business community support him with donations? Why don’t they ban together with the rest of us and actually try to get rid of him? They deserve the SOB.

Daley is a long-time DEM who knows things and has connections. He's been fairly quiet since leaving the WH. Speculation is that he clashed with V. Jarret and moved on. So, when Daley makes a loud proclamation like this it means something. This is a communication by someone who I don't see as necessarily in Great Leader's corner. I don't think all is honey & united unicorns among the Dems. At least with Marx people know what they are dealing with. It's the '...or something.' that should worry us.

Former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley acknowledged Wednesday that President Barack Obama has a "very difficult time" with the business community. "They think he's like Marx or something," Daley said. If only Osama's philosophy was that benign,Bill.He is,in fact,*just* like Mao Tse Tung.

They believe that businesses owe their profits to the greater good. Exactly! 0bama isn't Marx, he is actually something the leftside of worse than Marx. He is the community agitator. If he agitates enough...he doesn't need to be Marx, because the community(democracy)will prevail.
Obama: Business Profits Must Be Shared With Workers
If were fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line.
The problem with him saying this, is socialism does not do what he says! In his idealogy, the government must redistribute these profits. And amazingly Americans are not understanding that a company that is profitable provides jobs, good paying jobs, benefits, etc.

Ulsterman’s Wall Street Insider and White House Insider both pegged this awhile back.
When Dem bigwigs like Bill Daley are not on board, the train isn’t leaving the station.
I hope more Dems don’t realize the liability Obama is to them; otherwise they would change their candidate pronto.
That is still possible.

(Democrats are the enemies of freedom. Be Andrew Breitbart.)
The vile, corrupt Daley thinks we should be grateful that Osama did not nationalize the banks. But, as he promised our Russian foes, he will have much greater freedom to betray our country and its way of life in a second term.
