well, according to you, simply quoting someone means you're a lifelong admirer of that person... so, you're a closet Cheneyphile. Just as I suspected! The only thing you surround is Cheney's rod with your mouth

Yeah, it seems so, stovie. I rekun pepsi's moderate, intellectualism was just an act. I always knew he'd let his guard down and show his true colors. I don't understand people who feel the need to hide their true beliefs. Just come out and say what you mean and mean what you say.

So I ask all of you....What do you believe in? What do you really want this Country to look like? What are you willing to lose to get it?

I have to agree
Obama vs. The American Businessman
by Peter Schweizer

Okay, it’s time to finally admit it: Barack Obama hates businessmen. Not just certain businessmen, mind you, but the entire profession.

Of course President Obama will deny this. He told Businessweek magazine in a recent interview that he is not anti-business and that he believes in the private sector. But the evidence is overwhelming, and it helps explain why he is pursuing kamakazi-like economic policies that will damage the private sector in America.




Obama has demonized just about every business sector in America. Through the 2008 campaign to the present, he has gone after credit card companies, the coal industry, mortgage companies, real estate companies, steelmakers, utilities, drug companies, doctors, oil companies, Wall Street, defense contractors, and health insurance companies, just to name a few. In each case he has dinged them for greed, taking excessive profits, and failing to put people first. His criticisms have not been over minor matters but over their basic core functions, and their values or lack of them.

Obama demonstrates almost complete ignorance about the private sector and it’s no wonder: he has so little experience in it. He has spent his adult life in college, teaching college, and organizing communities. The one private sector job he has held, for a consulting firm in New York, he recounts as a terrible experience. In his memoirs he describes the experience as working for a private business “like a spy behind enemy lines.” He also recounts in his memoirs that the multinational corporations in the Indonesia of his youth were propelling the average worker “into deeper despair.” He likened the presence of corporations in his native Africa to a form of “neocolonialism.” Michelle Obama has beseeched young people, “We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we are asking young people to do. Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers, work for the community, be a social worker, be a nurse….move out of the money-making industry, into the helping industry.”


This is, of course, the Obama Cosmotology. The private sector is largely populated by devils, who are self-oriented, concerned about personal gain, and unconcerned about others. The government, on the other hand, is made up of people bathed in altruism, whose only concern is you. Thus it is quite easy for Obama to recall the divide between the private and public sector as “enemy lines” even though he would never call the Iranian Mullahs, Hugo Chavez, or Vladimir Putin an “enemy.”

All of this begs the question: does Obama’s demonizing of business simply reflect his lack of experience in the private sector or is it based on a well-thought out analysis? In short, is it based on ignorance or ideology? While we can’t know what Obama’s deeper thoughts actually are, it does seem pretty clear that Obama has at least some sense that the free market is people voluntarily exchanging money for a good or service they want. After all, this is a man who has made millions selling books. Surely he has to understand basic economics? The darker interpretation of this is the Obama knows that the private sector creates wealth and prosperity and that it wages war on it anyway because his ideologically driven agenda is more important to him that the economic health of the country he is supposed to be protecting. Say it isn’t so….

LOL...apparently Nero was said to "fiddle while rome burned"

Maobama has found another pasttime.

http://www.politico.com/click/stories/0910/obama_ties_bush_on_golf.html

President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years.


CBS' Mark Knoller — an unofficial documentarian and statistician of all things White House-related — wrote on his Twitter feed that, "Today - Obama ties Pres. Bush in the number of rounds of golf played in office: 24.

Took Bush 2 yrs & 10 months."


This news comes on the heels of today's news that Obama played golf with a woman — chief domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes — for the first time since taking office.

You know we are being lied to when 80% of the biz reporting earnings are all positive. How can that be when companys are closing and laying off more. Im sick of them pissing down our necks and telling us it's raining. Keep on cooking the books you crooks!!!!!

The golf course is the biggest of the green lies.

Out from under the hoop and into a little hole with grass surround. Sellout, if every one was.

Is the golf course where he hands out the rest of that stimulus money that is missing, to make the books of all these co's look good?

First off, I think Stove and X-lax are worshipping President Obama. They post here quite often....
Secondly, Strat, that article you posted leaves a lot of questions unanswered, in my opinion. Right off it mentions that the president "went after"credit card companies, the coal industry, mortgage companies.... Are you saying that these entities don_t need to be cleaned up? Are you saying that we don_t need to regulate toxic pollution from coal-fired power plants? Are you saying that the credit card industry should be allowed to rip people off? Don_t get me started on mortgage companies.
So, my point is this. What does it meann that the president "went after" these enterprises? Some critical thinking would help before you post something like this again. This makes it look just like you are more interested in tearing down the president than actually helping the average American citizen.

Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower : 1
Jackie Kennedy: 1
Roseline Carter: 1
Barbara Bush: 1
Hilary Clinton: 3
Laura Bush: 1
Michele Obama: 22

A commenter notes that the veracity of this assertion is disputed. But using Obamamath, we can say that those 22 personal staff assistants for M Chel represent 6,913 jobs created or saved under this administration.

No. In fact, many of the First Ladys staff are shared with the President. feel free to post a list if you have one.

Besides, my point was that Stoves post lacks credibility from the get go -- it only took five minutes of poking around on the web to disprove it.

They_re Republicans, Dunadan; protecting corporate criminals is their Gawd-given calling, even when they_re the ones being ripped off.

If a member of their family dies because of medical malpractice they_re more likely to scream bloody murder about frivolous lawsuits and tort reform.

Obama in February: More stimulus debt is good for the economy.

Pizza | Georgia, USA
(I’ve just finished giving a guy his pizza when he notices my car in the driveway.)

Customer: “That your car?”

Me: “Yes, it is. You like it?”

Customer: “Yeah! Mind if I go look at it?”

Me: “Sure. I’ll show you around it.”

(We get there and he studies the decals in my window. I have an “Obama ‘08″ button on the back of my headrest.)

Customer: *gasps* “Are you a terrorist?”

Me: “What?”

Customer: “Don’t play dumb with me! You’re a terrorist!”

Me: “What are you talking about?!”

Customer: “You’re a terrorist and you voted for a terrorist for president!”

Me: “Sir, I can assure you that our president is not a terrorist.”

Customer: “But he is! He’s not American! He’s an illegal immigrant!”

Me: “Sir, why would we have an illegal immigrant terrorist as president if the government were on his side?”

Customer: *gasps again* “You’re right! Everyone’s a terrorist!”

Me: “No, no, no! They’re not terrorists!”

Customer: “You’re on their side?! Don’t kill me!”

Me: *giving up* “Yes, I’m a terrorist.”

(The customer screams and runs inside. A few moments later, the pizza falls out a second story window.)
