| Obama Socialist Comments Have 'No Connection With Reality' Paul Volcker: Obama Socialist Comments Have 'No Connection With Reality' Quote: Asked whether he agrees with accusations that the president is waging class warfare by pushing for Wall Street reforms and higher taxes for the rich, Volcker said, "I don't understand the depth of that feeling. I really don't. This business that he's a great socialist and out to undermine the free enterprise system and so forth, I just think it has no connection with reality." He balked at the notion that Obama could have taken office without going after the banks. "How could you have a President of the United States taking office in the midst of a financial crisis and a deep recession and not be critical of the financial system? He would have been deaf, dumb and blind," he said. Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve and Obama adviser, is the namesake for "the Volcker Rule," a major provision in the Wall Street reforms that could take effect as early as this July. Though Obama has been critical of Wall Street, a survey from the end of last year found that he had approved fewer regulations than President Bush had at the same point in his presidency. Repugs don't live in a world of reality, thats so clear to see with all of their "Obama is a socialist" rants.

| murkinz have no connection to reality. They live in a movie their masters created for them and a large portion follow an ancient script they are incapable of reading on their own. |

| I said he has no connection with reality. For example he thinks that taking more of my money will help me. And according to our out of touch with reality president I should be happy to have the government take more of my money. Yeah a guy who thinks like that is really in touch.

| Thats a lie, if anything by extending the Bush tax cuts and extending the payroll tax cut thats been helping you to have more money, you're full of shat and can't see reality, even if that reality is healping you. And according to our out of touch with reality president I should be happy to have the government take more of my money. Yeah a guy who thinks like that is really in touch.

| Words like 'socialist' are substitutes for thought among the empty headed. All you do, similar to the schoolyard bully, is place a name on someone. Create a word, attach a negative to it, call the other the name, and the brain-dead are happy, content in their small knowledge. It's so simple and yet so powerful. You see it today in all aspects of politics and life. Consider the words attached to healthcare or Global warming as other examples. "The truth is, the current incarnation of the GOP, frozen in its pose of perpetually indignant outrage, doesn’t want additional perspective, more data and nuance, and — Heaven forbid — dissenting voices. The impulse to marginalize, condemn, ridicule, and finally choke off dissenting voices is not only what’s behind Senator Coburn’s war on the NSF, it’s behind the GOP-sponsored culture war that has sucked much of the oxygen out of the national discourse for more than a decade now. ¶ Republicans don’t like science and scientists because they are sources of data that are independent of GOP-approved propaganda mills like Fox News. Pesky scientists and academics are always popping up to dispute the Roger Ailes-approved buzz-quote of the day — on climate change, on health care, on the effects of poverty on the rapidly evaporating middle class, on the diversity of American families, and on the importance of funding basic research instead of commercially-driven ventures constrained by short-term considerations like ROI."
