Obama says Capitalism has failed and it is time for Communism.

[Clementine]

Does any one on the left listen to news or see any of Obama's speeches or comments? I heard him say that our capitalism system doesn't work and never has and he does intend to change it. There is only one thing you can take from his words and that is either socialism or communism. If we don't have a free market system, what will we have? I am so tired of people dismissing his radical statements. He said what he said and it shows how he thinks. Time to face up to it and stop ignoring it.

It's always the same thing. Someone gets riled at Obama's latest move or comment and demand a link. They get the link, then refuse to comment further. Go beyond the talking points and think for yourself.

I am absolutely no fan of Obama, but do you have a link to him making such statements. This very thread makes the same claim, but the link that was provided does not support the title of the thread.

I saw it on the news and there is a link somewhere in these threads. He said it. I will do a search just for you since you seem unable to do so on your own.

What do you think of someone who wants to do away with capitalism? Just curious and would like your input since you believe that Obama did not say it. Are you willing to outright condemn any politician who would say that capitalism is a bad system and one we need to do away with before you know who said it for sure? Or will you be like most on the left and wait to speak before finding talking points?

I'd appreciate it if you can find it.

The link in this thread, did not support the statement in the title of the thread.

What do I think of someone who wants to do away with capitalism? Well, since I don't think one can do away with capitalism I haven't thought much about that. I don't like President Obama's economic policies because they slide us further towards socialism, but since the economy is more like a continuum, there is no way Capitalism could be done away with.

Would I condemn a politician that says Capitlism is a bad system and we should do away with it? Absolutely, which is why I entered this thread yesterday. I was all ready to do that and then I pulled up the link to support what I believed and read what the link said. I had to delete my post before I posted it, because what the link said was not what I was lead to believe.

I'm not on the left.

Too bad you weren't willing to actually read the link before you made these stupid statements of yours. Just curious, were you listening to Fox News (maybe Sean Hannity) when you "heard" these things?

By the way, here is the link given in the OP.

If you hit the Control key and hold it down while you press the F key it will open a "Find" Box, you can then type in the letters "indiv" which took me to the particular quote I was looking for. Suprisingly enough, it didn't say what I thought it said based on M_T's OP.

Thank God, I actually read the evidence BEFORE I made a fool of myself, like someone else involved in this discussion.

No you didn't!

You heard your MessiahRushie change Obama's words and redefine capitalism.

It was working just fine until the 16th/17th Amendments were foisted upon us as was the Federal Reserve nearly 100 years ago.

We see before us now the result...Socialism or bust.

It's probably not all over the media because he never said it

No, "trickle down" is a CON$ervative platitude that means if you redistribute money from the middle class to the rich it will trickle down from the rich to the poor.

Conservatives didn't invent the term. Nitwits like you did.

They cant even point to the bill that made that imagination possible. Mention he had a dem congress and the cowards tuck tail.

"Trickle down" is the term liberal fascists use to refer to the state where government isn't expropriating the income of the wealthy. In other words, it's the state of affairs that existed before the Great Depression.

What the fascists can't explain is how all their regulations have improved anything. The Great Depression occurred despite the existence of the Federal Reserve, which was sold to the public based on the claim that it would prevent banking panics.

We still have recessions at regular intervals, and GDP growth has slowed down since the advent of the New Deal, not increased.

The fascists would have us believe that repealing all their economic controls would be a catastrophe, but the historical record doesn't give the slightest hint that such is the case.

He didn't but defend it. This is what has Edith all in a tizzie, and explains Edith's frequent change of panties because he keeps wetting them when Limbaugh speaks.

Actually it was St Ronnie's budget director David Stockman who first applied the term coined by humorist Will Rogers to Reagan's supply-side voodoo economics.

Stockman wasn't a conservative. He was a RINO.

"It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."
- David Stockmanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics#cite_note-7

Yeah, it is hard to sell anything when you use derogatory terms to describe it. If you call a car a "lemon," you aren't going to impress any potential buyers.

There is no such thing as "trickle down" theory. There's free market theory (we call that economics), and then there's the Marxist horseshit that you subscribe to.

Obama says that the individual economy has failed. He says it failed before the great depression and it failed before him. He said that we need to change the economy from the individual to the collective. He is saying that capitalism has failed and we need Communism. Why no one is reporting this and no one is bothered by it gets me. I guess I live to close to Cuba and I know what that really means.
I know some out there are going to act like I’m crazy and say it is a conspiracy theory. It is not a conspiracy theory if he is saying it. You tell me what he is referring to when he says the individual economy. What exactly is that to you? Is there another type of individual economy out there that I don’t know about?

I don't have a link to the speech I heard today. But here is a link to a speech where he said something similar.

President Obama’s Speeches For Tour Of California At 5 Campaign Events – 16 & 17 February 2012 – Transcript Text – (TCP)CHICAGO « The Critical Post – (TCP)Chicago

He didn't say dick about Communism, you liar.

Obama crypto-Marxist code

"we began to transform the country"

"We’ve got more work to do so that America once again is a place where everybody has a fair shot, everybody does their fair share, and everybody is playing by the same set of rules. That’s our vision."

"And the other side has a fundamentally different vision of America. Their view is that everybody is on their own. If you don’t have health care, tough luck, you’re on your own. If you were born into poverty, pull yourself up by your bootstraps — you’re on your own. They’ve got a different vision that basically says, let’s go back to the old policies where a few do really well and everybody else struggles just to get by. And they’re explicit about it. This is not me putting spin on the ball. (Laughter.) They’ve been very clear about what their agenda is."

"We’re going to have to preserve the changes we’ve made and we’ve got to keep on driving."

This thread is a vivid example of what happens when you get your "news" from one of the partisan blabbers. Not a good thing when one of those people are considered a news source. This isn't a good sign. It would be helpful if folks would be a little intellectually curious and research things before they form an opinion. Having an opinion given to you is not the same as forming one on your own.
