I have seen and just think I saw it yesterday and you had to wait till today.

Seriously speaking this is a chance to find out why Beck left Fox News. Some won't like it if they see it but it is really there. This rip and tear of the speech is much better than the review I saw by Ed Schultz, but then this one isn't done by Ed.

Some of you won't like it all but most of you who don't won't open it anyway. I wish all would but don't think that my "real" friends will.

Ahh, the John Bircher speaks. AKA, the Beckster lies. He says Obama said Capitalism didn't work in the 20s, 50s & 60s nor the 80s. Of couse that's not what Obama said. He said the idea of trickle down economics, didn't work then, in fact has never worked. Which is absolutely true. Here is a link to the speech, if you care to see what he said unfiltered by Beck. It's on page 3.

Here's a great excerpt from the speech:

"The truth is we’ll never be able to compete with other countries when it comes to who’s best at letting their businesses pay the lowest wages, who’s best at busting unions, who’s best at letting companies pollute as much as they want. That’s a race to the bottom that we can’t win, and we shouldn’t want to win that race. (Applause.) Those countries don’t have a strong middle class. They don’t have our standard of living."

People like you have been saying that now for 3 years and the reality has been quite the opposite.

One has to love the way Obama re-writes history. In his speech he claimed that Bill Clinton "eliminate the deficit" (page 6), when in fact the deficit was in the trillions. Balanced the budget?....maybe. Eliminate the deficit?....hardly. Someone should fact check his speeches.

I love it when Obama talks is critical of the very things that got him elected,..... "Inequality also distorts our democracy. It gives an outsized voice to the few who can afford high-priced lobbyists and unlimited campaign contributions, and it runs the risk of selling out our democracy to the highest bidder." That's what got Obama elected,...unlimited campaign contributions from unknown sources on the internet.

Obama touted Clinton repeatedly,...but many credit Reagan policies with the good economy that Clinton enjoyed during his tenure.

Good piece, Roy.

Obama is a divider and his platform message he ran on were all lies. Obama trying to push his green agenda when people needed real jobs not bankrupt companies. Obama pushing his agenda and not thinking about what is happening here with high unemployment , foreclosures, and debt growing so big we got knocked down in ratings for a country that is suppose to rival every other country. We are not strong. We have free bees galore attracting illegals here and growing our debt. America should first take care of their own.

We are going down. This system of things will conclude with a world war and much famine, destruction and death because people refuse to identify the reason for it all. A move away from God and instead we have corruption, greed and lies on all levels. We have taken God out of schools, mocked his bible and turned to worldly gain. When one leaves God out.. all that is evil takes its place.
