I hope this country doesn't keep heading down the road to full socialism and Obama/Democrats are wrong in believing America will...
You are quite mistaken if you think Obama is a Socialist. He isn't. If he appears to be you can attribute that to his political
style. He knows how to rally popular support to solidify his position. But the fact is Obama is in the pocket of the bankers and Wall Street.
Obama is a young man with a young family and no personal fortune to ensure a comfortable future when he leaves Office. So he is not inclined to step on the toes of any entity or individual which or who will influence his future.
The bottom line is in spite of all of Obama's increasingly tiresome bullshit, the banks and finance industry continues to thrive while the People continue to stagnate economically.
Is from a lack of trying?
Please, Obama and the Democrats ran left as far and fast as they could when
they had both houses. Of course they paid for it by losing the House and it did leave them more extreme since
the Blue Dogs got kicked out.
If Papa Obama does appear 'socialist' enough for you, it is only because our political system is designed to slow things up
and stop attempts at quick changes. Socialism does not poll well, along with Liberal. Which is why the
reactionary left has gone to great lengths and attempts to call themselves,
"Progressive" and use terms like
'social market democracy'.
They believe it will sell better.
Papa Obama is a millionaire several times over, so I doubt if his future is a concern to him. He is after all part of the 'one percent'.
Now, can he maintain the lifestyle that him and Michelle having been living while on the public dole after leaving office, probably not.
Besides, even if Papa Obama could come out of the "socialist closet" so to speak, would you really expect him to want less money or
live more frugally? Socialists leaders always speak a good game for the masses, but in reality they always take care of themselves.
Do you really think it would be equal, for all?
Even in the former Soviet Union, socialist leaders had the best houses, cars and used a different medical system. One only needs
to see how Papa Obama denies poor black kids from going to a private school by taking away their vouchers and still sends his
own daughters there, to see he would be no different from other socialist leaders of the past.
You are correct that he is a demagogue.
Agree, he is connected to big business. It is all part of the crony/corporate capitalism
crap they push in attempts to get their gov't plans in place as quickly, as possible.
In fairness, politicians from both sides push this crappy system on us. It is amusing
to hear people blame the 'free markets' for things, when we have not had true 'free markets' in
a long time, if ever.
The people continue to economically stagnate because, in spite of all the debt
Papa Obama has incurred for the US, the great plans of Central Planners, will never work as well
as intended. The money helped politicians and some of their corporate and union friends; but
it did little for the American people. Quite frankly, it would have done more good to take all
that money they spent and just thrown it out over the cities for people to randomly pick up
and use.
Papa Obama is not revolutionary in his socialist attempts; he doesn't have the intestinal
fortitude, for such a thing. What between his golf games and wagyu steak and vodka
martini parties, he is going to have an armed revolution? I can see it now
"Oh guys, let me finish this drink and I will be right there"
No Papa Obama is more of the boring garden variety, run of the mill leftists
like the Europeans. He prefers the slow approach
where like the frog boiled in water slowly will not jump out.
But it does not mean his policies are any less disastrous for the US.
It just allows him to muddy the waters, so to speak
