You can not agree with the man and not hate him. He has made one stupid decision after the next. Incompetence is nothing to be hated for.

The claim that Thomas Sowell is "one of the smartest men in America" is not only absurd but also leaves America with little hope for the future.

You keep talking out of your ass, but it still don't make one word of it true.
So, you don't know enough about Obama to debate the topic? Got it.

What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.

Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama's point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time.

Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous -- something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague.

How exactly does the government control the economy ? More like big business controlling the economy. 7 years in office and no attempts to seize power (like Fascists do). Fascist, Socialist, Communist, Muslim, Racist, Apologist, Traitor, these (your) labels are ridiculous.

You do know that Obama is going to be out of office by Jan 17. If he is a bad as you say then surely one of those great Republican (savior) candidates of Ted Cruz or Donald Trump will win in a landslide. If not then maybe you are completely wrong - we will see.

If critics of politicians had truth on their side, why don't they use it instead of practicing vilification? After all every politician, even the best, has serious faults.

Not an obama hate fest....just realization the followers are deaf and blind to what otherwise is unethical and incompetent behavior....even with the advice of experts who are, apprently, more often trumped by valerie jarrett's advice.


It is a shout out of concern that the deaf and blind are..... deaf and blind and in need of help.


Stand by the man who said ISIS is the JV team


Stand by the man who who said benghazi was caused by a video


Stand by the man who didn't demand his DOJ head resign when he falsified a warrant and judge shopped


Stand by your man who claimed yemen was a shining example of his ME policy


Really, you can support someone that incompetent and nefariously transparent?


Why always with charges of HATE? Cannot obama supporters ever understand that there are graduated degrees in between exteme positions. It is the pregnancy syndrome...either you are or you are not....being partially pregnant is not possible but clearly that logic is applied by liberals whenever they run out of argument. .

Mussolini realized that government bureaucrats were incapable of producing anything but were pretty good at stealing. He tweaked socialism and invented fascism. Yes, fascism, is the Western economic model. If someone from 1940 was sent to the West today they would think the Axis had won the war.

From the Sowell link:

Quote:
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people -- like themselves -- need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.

The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People..."

That is why the left has for more than a century been trying to get the Constitution's limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges' new interpretations, based on notions of "a living Constitution" that will take decisions out of the hands of "We the People," and transfer those decisions to our betters.
Yes, not just Obama but Democrats in general are fascists.

Actually, the fact that most Americans fail to recognize the brilliance of Sowell is what puts us in peril.

It doesn't matter which label you put on him, he is just plain BAD for the country.
