Steve Jobs must be turning in his grave over that one.
I'm sure Michael Dell got that "government vision and incentive" to start his own computer company as did Bill Gates.

There's absolutely nothing in the issue of this thread that has anything to do with any other country. There are no comparisons.

Whoever is in the WH giving Biden and Obama their talking points needs to be fired.
That our government is the center of the universe and responsible for all ?

This administration is sure doing a complete 360 from their 2008 campaign, that's for sure.

"Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."

Aren't the lizard people supposed to land to save us from ourselves 12/21/2012 ?
If so, I'm ready ! And they don't have TSA agents at the gate

They'll want to tax you before you leave though.

Someone else = abolishing private ownership?!?!?!?!?! How did we make this leap?

EPA= ownership of the our energy production?!?!?!?! How did we make this leap?

BTW, don't bother reading the textbook definition of a Marxist and expect everyone to conform to it, 0bama finds comfort in much that is Marxism, but he also like living like a king, and rubbing elbows with billionaires, Hollywood types, and the Wall Street elites. 0bama is a country club Marxist.
Lolz. Sure, I won't trust historian and scholars, I'm sure they're just Marxists spies. I'll just decide on my own what Marxism is....

How about you give me your definition of Marxism?

This thread has taken a statement out of context and gone off with a life of its own.

Think of those disloyal multi-national corporations that got their start in America- built up by American hands - Americans were their soul and substance- Then they abandon their nation of origin out of greed and the search for super high profits..through cheap and slave a labor. These American companies that destroyed the manufacturing base that built the now declining middle class.

How come Obama boy does not stand up to these trillion dollar monsters and say "It was not you who built these companies- it was America that spawned you- You ungrateful turds"...?


No- big shot Obama picks on the little guys because he actually believes he is now officially and member of some elite club...Once this stint in the masters house is over he can go back to organizing vegetable gardens on vacant lots in Chicago...cos I doubt very much if he is much of a lawyer.

What a fascist socialist jerk. To say that about business is like saying he is in the first steps of so-called wealth re-distribution...That the business that you worked all your life to create..that the money you diligently packed away in order to keep growing and have a good life IS NOT REALLY YOUR MONEY - what he is doing is shooting a cannon blast across the bow of hard working people and warning them that he is about to plunder and rob them...This is not a good sign...

Every one has a damning statement that bring about a curse on their house- This single utterance by Obama has just cost him the presidency..He will not be elected- who in their right mind wants to elect a person who is going to impoverish the nation through a temporary fix such as wealth re-distribution- It might be very nice for a year and everyone will have a high def TV- but then all will be equal- equally poor.
