ROOT: Obama might be a socialist

For some reason, most Americans think he is

By Wayne Allyn Root

-

The Washington Times

I ought to know. I was Mr. Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University Class of ‘83. Our college was dominated by socialists and Marxists who hated capitalism and America. Let’s look at the facts up close and personal - Jeff Foxworthy style. Mr. Foxworthy leaves no doubt as to “who might be a redneck.” Let me leave no doubt that “Obama might be a socialist.”

If you believe it’s greedy for American taxpayers to want to keep more of their own money, but not greedy to demand that government confiscate other people’s money and redistribute it to those who didn’t earn it, you might be a socialist.

If you don’t understand (or care) that babies scream and cry the moment they are born because they are already heavily in debt and facing a bleak future and lower quality of life, you might be a socialist.

If the only thing you, your Cabinet members and czars know about business is from books read at Harvard Law School, written by Karl Marx, you might be a socialist.

If you want to allocate hundreds of millions to the Internal Revenue Service to go after tax cheats when your administration is filled with tax cheats, including the guy in charge of America’s taxes (Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner), you might be a socialist.

If you think the “White House Party Crashers” are terrible people because they came to a state dinner without aninvitation, but you want to give instant citizenship to 12 million uninvited “illegal aliens” who crashed our border, you might be a socialist.

If you think anyone who doesn’t read the New York Times is dumb and ignorant, but think it’s OK forCongress to pass a 2,000-page health care bill without reading it, you might be a socialist.

If you think Times’ columnist Paul Krugman deserves a Nobel Prize for economics and you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize even though neither of you created a job or ended a war, you might be a socialist.

If you think it’s OK to meet with dictators, bullies, tyrants and terrorist sympathizers without preconditions, but have no interest in meeting with conservatives in Congress, you might be a socialist.

If you think it’s OK to give constitutional rights to terrorists, but not to the bondholders, shareholders and secured creditors of GM and Chrysler when you stole the company from them and awarded it to the unions that bankrupted them, you might be a socialist.

If you think Raul Castro, the leader of communist Cuba, in firing 500,000 government employees by telling them “government can no longer employ or take care of everyone” isn’t a hint that perhaps America needs to reduce our obscene number of government employees, you might be a socialist.

If you think George W. Bush’s spending was an embarrassment, a travesty and a sin, but you have no problem increasing the national debt more in one day than the entire 2007 budget deficit, you might be a socialist.

If you think Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar of “The View” represent the moderate wingof the Democratic Party, you might be a socialist.

If you think it was OK for Nancy Pelosi to pass Obamacare so she could benefit from the special clause on Page 1,890 that gives free faceliftsto public officials, you might be a socialist (just kidding!).

If you want to convert America to a “green economy” to create jobs, after Spain has proven the green economy destroys three times as many jobs as it creates and leads to 20 percent unemployment, you might be a socialist.

If you think denying someone a job, government contract or entry to college because of the color of their skin is immoral and criminal, but giving someone a job, government contract or college admission because of a different color of their skin is “social justice,” you might be a socialist.

If you want to abandon capitalism and put the economy under the controlof government bureaucrats, even though virtually every city, county, state and federal department run by these same bureaucrats is insolvent and bankrupt, you might be a socialist.

If you favor taxpayer bailouts of companies who give you campaign contributions and hide it by refusing to disclose who got the money or how much and you demand your cronies in Congresspass the 1,000-plus page bailout bill without reading it, you might be a socialist.

If you think spending an extra trillion dollars will save money on health care and reduce the deficit, you might be a socialist (and possibly learned math in public school).

If your solution to Medicare driving the country into bankruptcy is expanding it to everyone with Obamacare, you might be a socialist.

If want to lower the cost of health care but left out tort reform, you might be a socialist lawyer.

If you’re a <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/columbia-university/" style="color: rgb(22, 74, 110); text-decoration: none; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 0px; ">Columbia University professor and gave a student named Barack Obama an A in economics, you are definitely a socialist.

And finally, in the eighth year of the Obama presidency, if Bangladesh is hosting “Aid America” concerts or you’re standing in line for toilet paper, you have a socialist president.

It’s time to stand up and loudly call a socialist … a socialist!

I equate it that Obama the Socialist is happy as can be about now. The further destruction of this country is assured.

If what you're trying to convey is that team Obama sees a clearer path to re-election based on Paul's failure to garner any support worth mentioning in FL today, then you're way off. Romney's victory today is the worst outcome Obama could face. The only formidable challenger Obama could have in 2012 is Mitt. None of the other clowns - least of all the funny uncle - pose any actual challenge to Obama. That's the reality.

55 Percent of Likely Voters Find ‘Socialist’ an Accurate Label of Obama?

By Jim Geraghty

The latest poll by Democracy Corps, the firm of James Carville and Stan Greenberg, has Republicans leading on the generic ballot among likely voters , 48 percent to 42 percent.

Deep in the poll, they ask, “Now, I am going to read you a list of words and phrases which people use to describe political figures. For each word or phrase, please tell me whether it describes Barack Obama very well, well, not too well, or not well at all.”

On “too liberal,” 35 percent of likely voters say it describes Obama “very well,” 21 percent say “well,” 21 percent say “not too well,” and 17 percent say “not well at all.” In other words, 56 percent of likely voters consider Obama too liberal.

When asked about “a socialist,” 33 percent of likely voters say it describes Obama “very well,” 22 percent say “well,” 15 percent say “not too well,” and 25 percent say “not well at all.”

In other words, 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.

Not sure how you arrived at that statement from what I posted. But be that as it may, know this: The President doesn't get to spend a dime unless the House says he gets to spend it. The ole power of the purse...

It's going to be Romney v Obama in November, unless a big rock falls from space and crushes one, or both, in the meantime. Maybe the Mayans were right, and this is just something to keep us occupied until Hezbollah finally gets its nuke delivered by the Iranians in the Valley of Armagedo.

Obama Attended Several Meetings with the Democratic Socialists in Chicago and Was even Endorsed by Them - "Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the “champions” of “Chicago’s democratic left” and a long-time socialist activist. Obama’s stint as a “community organizer” in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored."

Obama's Teen Mentor was Frank Marshall Davis (a known CPUSA member) - "...through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his poetry and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just Frank." Source: Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in the Media "Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii, who wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis was a significant influence on Obama when the senator attended Punahou prep school in Hawaii from 1975 to 1979"

Obama has created 3 million jobs in the last 22 months (less than 2 years, WOW!!!)

On Friday when we get the new jobs numbers you'll see the 23rd straight month of private sector gains....I can't remember if it's gonna be about 200,000 or 300,000 NEW JOBS!!!!

"In 2011, the number of private-sector jobs rose by about 1.83 million (if you count from the January amount to the December amount) or 1.92 million (if you count from December to December). Either way, the increase in 2011 represented the highest one-year total since 2005, when the number of private-sector jobs increased by either 2.22 million or 2.31 million, depending on the time period used."

Just think if we had someone competent and knew what they were doing how great we could have been doing. His destruction of this country will be complete in a few years. Some think that the economic wonder of this country may withstand the onslaught but even if we do it will be hard to recover.

Obama offers plan to help small businesses, start-ups

January 31, 2012

A week after his State of the Union pledge to create a stronger economy, President Obama on Tuesday sent Congress a legislative package aimed at accelerating small business growth and removing roadblocks for start-ups.

Obama's proposals build on the administration's year-old Startup America initiative and include eliminating taxes on capital gains for investments in small businesses, offering a 10 percent tax credit for companies that create jobs or increase wages this year and ending country-specific immigration caps in order to attract more high-skilled workers.

The administration believes the initiatives, which will be included in Obama's fiscal 2013 budget in mid-February, could attract bipartisan support even in an election year. On Tuesday, Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) introduced legislation that would give small firms a larger slice of the federal contracting pie and hold government officials accountable for delivering their fair share of business to the nation's smallest employers.

In announcing the legislation, the White House cited several similar bills offered in Congress, including ones from Republican lawmakers, and said it hopes "this momentum reinforces the opportunity for Congress to come together and pass bipartisan legislation without delay."

In his State of the Union address last week and in other speeches, Obama has touted small businesses, saying they account for most of the nation's jobs.

"One thing we're trying to get Congress to do is pass some legislation, and there's some bipartisan support for this, that just makes it easier for start-up companies to obtain financing," Obama said Monday evening in an online chat, responding to a question from a small business owner. "That's something we're going to continue to focus on because if we can get more start-ups, more entrepreneurs, getting their ideas to market faster, that's going to contribute to overall economic growth and job growth."

The Obama administration stressed that the legislative package, which will cost about $48 billion, could be offset by the elimination of tax loopholes and writeoffs that the administration also will call for in its budget request.

Also this month, Obama asked Congress to give him the authority to restructure government agencies to streamline regulatory requirements for small businesses, and he elevated his Small Business Administration's director to a cabinet-level position to emphasize his commitment.

Having the collapse of the evil empire and being able to reduce the military budget to levels to where we had balanced the overall budget was fortuitous for Clinton. We can do the same thing now if we had someone that had balls to make that decision.

The Tea partiers are idiots.

Small business does not need the Feds help. It needs the Feds to stop interfering. Enlarging the Feds is not what is going to get us out of this mess.
