Obama on The Daily Show!

[Life_Long_Dem!]

I love when asked if him winning was a mandate for socialism he said that next it will be discovered he once shared his toys with his classmates in kindergarten and thats further proof he is socialist! then he said his white half and black half have been fighting and he has been going through therapy to be able to vote right! gotta love his sense of humor he is very positive and up lifting and thats what this country needs!

Obama's Daily Show Interview (VIDEO)

 

[DiamondDave]

Ahhh.. the typical 'teaching kids to share' defense of socialist/marxist practice

Would be more pointed if the following scenario was used... kids liking the same set of action figures... one kids gets them and one kid does not... the authorities being called and escorting the child who did not receive the figures into the house of the kid that did and being allowed to take a portion of those figures for himself, and the kid that got them fair and square being told that this is only right and fair

So under your thinking if Obama wins it is a referendum on socialism?

 

[dilloduck]

So under your thinking if Obama wins it is a referendum on socialism?

No---I think it will be a referendum on naiveté and laziness. Obama is already having to prepare people for the fact that government can't do everything.

 

[bigdaddygtr]

For all the dumbasses who think Obama is a Socialist, the guy running for President of the Socialist party said that he is FAR FROM IT.

But of course, what does he know

 

[xsited1]

Obama is the globalists pick. Socialism/Marxism is used to keep the masses under control. Obama is just the man to accomplish this in the United States. Prepare for government control on all levels.

It is sort of ironic that all those who whine about all the personal freedoms they lost under Bush are demanding to be regulated by the government. I guess big daddy is going to come in and order everyone to be fair. Maybe some people need to see what that really means.

 

[rayboyusmc]

George Bush was a Dick's Pick. We can hardly do worse than that.

 

[DiamondDave]

So under your thinking if Obama wins it is a referendum on socialism?

An Obama victory is a move more towards marxist and socialist practice, rather than towards the practice of supporting freedom, equality, and liberty...

An Obama victory is a victory for redistribution, forced by the hand of the government.. a victory for the entitlement mantra, paid for at the expense of those who earn and accomplish more... a victory for those who value redistribution over the opportunity to reap the rewards of one's efforts.. a victory for economic turmoil and mediocrity

 

[9 Volt]

Anyone who actually believes that Obama is a socialist embodies the ignorance and gullibility of the American consumer. Obama is a CAPITALIST, plain and simple. Wake up IDIOTS! The guy was a professor at The University of Chicago. MIlton Friedman anyone?! His chief economic advisor Jason Furman is Friedmanite to the core and also has two Keynesian advisors under him. Obama is a market guy, plain and simple. Why else would he champion the bailout plan, which was simply a gift from the taxpayers to Wall Street, which by the way, costs the taxpayers TWICE what it would have cost a disinterested investor. WAKE UP!

 

[politicalguy]

The other day I heard on WOR 710 radio that Obama called his grandma a typical white woman. Now I don't know if he's a socialist or capitalist, but I think his behavior is a little unpresidential...especially that Rev. Wright. BUT to say McCain and Bush don't have their moments would be a complete lie.

 

[Life_Long_Dem!]

umm diamond dave....republicans redistribute wealth as well, what do you call the trickle down Reagan theory....here is some of an article you should read if you didnt already in something I posted yesterday

Is John McCain stupid, or does he believe we are? That's the question as he criticizes Barack Obama for allegedly trying to "redistribute the wealth" with a plan to lower taxes on the middle class and raise them on the super-rich.

Of course, the Democrat's proposal would merely slow down (not fully halt) the less-talked-about redistribution whereby Washington sends middle-class money up the income ladder. Either McCain doesn't know about this kleptocracy and is the dumbest presidential candidate in history, or he thinks America is too ignorant to recognize theft. Which is it?

I'm guessing the latter, since the evidence is so overwhelming.

In the last eight years, we the little people have been forced to provide more and more of the taxes fueling America's redistribution machine. As the Congressional Budget Office reports, the $715 billion in tax breaks that President Bush gave to those making more than $342,000 a year began dramatically shifting the overall tax burden from the rich onto the rest of us. Meanwhile, because of lobbyist-crafted loopholes, most corporations pay zero federal income taxes, according to the Government Accountability Office. The result is what Warren Buffett admits: When counting all taxes (income, payroll, property, etc.), billionaires and Big Business often pay lower effective tax rates than their employees.

The output of the redistribution machine is becoming just as regressive. In the age of Halliburton fraud and ExxonMobil subsidies, our government spends $93 billion a year on corporate welfare. (For comparison, that's roughly three times what it spends on a traditional welfare program like food stamps.) That doesn't include the recent bailout giving $700 billion to the same banks currently doling out $70 billion in executive pay and bonuses -- a scheme the Financial Times says "amounts to a large transfer of resources from lower to higher income earners."

Trickle down is not inherently redistribution... but regardless... I am not for ANY government handouts to corporations or to individuals... and I actually DISAGREE with the REP party (or the DEM party) when ever they do such a thing

I am for EQUAL % burden taxation.. .otherwise known as blind equality by the government to only pay for the services it requires to stay running, run the legal system, run law enforcement, provide national security, etc...

The REPs may have instances of greedy entitlements to whomever as well.. but not nearly as much as the DEMs.... I am for reform in the REP party, or the emergence of a true party dealing with the concepts of conservative constitutionalism

You'd better not vote Republican after making this statement. "Trickle Down" only happens after redistribution, the Republican way...by taking from the middle class and redistributing UP to Corporate America. The new Republican party mostly greedily entitles it's own cabinet members, who profit through their own equity stakes in companies like Halliburton, Gilead Sciences, Exxon/Mobile etc. I Know it's hard for you to understand, but Obama's economic policies are closer to those of your beloved Reagan than anyone knows. He falls somewhere between Keynes and Friedman. Just wait and see. Reagan would vote for Obama.

 

[Chris]

Today Exxon announced the largest quarterly profit in American history, $14 billion dollars.

That's Republican redistribution of wealth.

That and borrowing $700 billion from the Chinese to give to the Saudis.

I know it is hard for you to see reality... but Obama is between Teddy K and Karly M...

Obama is farther away from equal burden taxation than McCain... he is closer to marxist redistribution than blind equality by the government... hence why I will not support Obama..

 

[AllieBaba]

Yes, Obama declares he isn't a socialist...and then spouts socialist platitudes, and embraces socialist ideals, and has a circle of socialist friends.

But we shouldn't think he's a socialist.

BTW, dumbasses, thanks to the Republicans...NOT the democrats, who fought it tooth and nail, we have earned income credit, head of household write-offs, and funding for rural health/dental care. Thanks directly to George Bush, Rep. Walden (R) and Senator SMith (R), in Oregon, we have FREE CLINICS in areas which have NEVER had local medical providers. THanks to our friends the Republicans, poor people across the country, in little places socialists and liberal elitists like to pretend don't exist..or worse, don't matter, can get flu shots, fillings, emergency medical treatment (including life flight) as well as preventative treatment, check ups, and treatment for chronic conditions...without having to travel hundreds of miles, which is impossible for many and overwhelming for all. Thanks to these clinics, we can now have assisted living centers in our rural areas...so our elderly people do not have to be shipped out of the areas where they have spent their entire lives and where their families live in order to receive increased care.

So the next time some asshole says that it's the Republicans who don't want to take care of the needy, the poor, and the sick, bitch slap that piece of shit and remind him of the policies that his party fought and Bush pushed through to make sure the poorest of the poor (and they aren't in the inner city folks) get health care.

Dental van is in my town this week. They are seeing scores of children, free of charge. One child in my son's head start class had 8 cavities which would not have been treated if this van didn't come through. THanks George Bush and good Republicans everywhere for taking care of the poor.

Bullshit. You should do some digging. Of course this is a time when America will vote Marxism over Friedmanism and thus the Obama campaign, but you should see through this and look at his real intentions: A Keynesian form of Capitlaism with some Friedman influence. That's it, plain and simple. Pelosi and Reid will be sorely disappointed. Believe me.
