Mao Is Mighty Popular Among Obama’s Czars

(Bumped up from Wednesday early a.m.)
Nope, I am not talking about Anita Dunn this time. Ron Bloom is the latest Obama Czar (Manufacturing) to quote Mao as an authority. And just wait to see which quote he uses from Mao. Oh, and he disses that whole free market thing, too. See for yourself:
You may recall that Ron Bloom was a negotiator with the United Steel Workers, and apparently known for being a bit of a potty mouth while he was at it. Oh, and naturally, like so many of the people with whom Obama surrounds himself, has ties to the SEIU, which was co-created by Wade Rathke of ACORN fame. Yep, he surely does.
Remarkable, isn’t it? When Obama keeps trying to claim he doesn’t know all that much about ACORN and their doings? Yeah, right. But I digress.
You know, it makes sense, though, really. As Obama takes over private enterprise as well as banks with our dollars (more on this below), and attempts to destroy any media that isn’t favorable to it, I think we are well on our way to an, um, less than Democratic union. And we have Czars like Anita Dunn and Ron Bloom to lead the way, not to mention Obama himself, a card-carrying member of the Socialist New Party (and don’t forget Van Jones, who had to resign). Ain’t that something?
Remember when our friends and families scoffed at us and ridiculed us for making these claims about Obama and his associates? Uh huh. Dontcha just HATE it when you know you’re right and people treat you like your nuts? I wonder how they feel now? Oh, right - they’re probably all singing their “Mmmm mmmm mmm” song while our once democratic nation goes by the boards…
By the way, the Bailout Watchdog had this to say about the TARP program - OUR taxpaying dollars at work:
But even as the administration aimed to refocus the massive Troubled Asset Relief Program on small businesses and homeowners, Barofsky said in his report that the effort to save the nation’s financial sector came at great cost to taxpayers, to the integrity of the financial system and to the public’s perception of the federal government.“Despite the aspects of TARP that could reasonably be viewed as a substantial success,” he wrote, “Treasury’s actions in this regard have contributed to damage the credibility of the program and of the government itself, and the anger, cynicism and distrust created must be chalked up as one of the substantial, albeit unnecessary, costs of TARP.”
Barofsky said public suspicion was fed by Treasury’s decision not to require banks to report how they used their rescue money and its “less-than-accurate” statements describing the financial condition of nine large banks that benefited from large infusions of aid. The TARP program began under the administration of President George W. Bush and has expanded under Obama.
And now the Obama Administration has taken on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. I’m not kidding. The All Stars had an excellent discussion on this last night, and included the overarching issues of both the Chamber of Commerce AND the attacks by Anita Dunn on Fox News. It provides a good overview of the direction the Obama Administration is heading:
You know, if things continue down this path with the people Obama has surrounded himself, I think we can expect to have this painting in the White House:
Replaced with this one:
Hey, it could happen! And the chances of that seem to be increasing with every day…

And check out these: 
("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
Wasn’t the whole point with the “Tsars” to get around any Congressional/Constitutional oversight?
Constitutional oversight, what oversight? The government has been working around the constitution for years; Obama just wants to get it all done now and has accelerated the process.
Kiss the republic goodbye - after the Obama administration gets done there will be no repairing the damage. I don’t understand why half the country believes we can implement Marxist socialism better than the Russians, Chinese or Koreans. We will all share in the poverty.
Cabinet members have to be vetted and approved by Congress. Czars don’t, so the BO administration can put anyone in there - and they have!
Would anyone here by any chance have any interest in naming something specific that Obama has done as president that is Maoist, Communist or circumvents the rule of law? Or is it enough to just all *claim* that he’s a Commie and then pat yourselves on the back for being the ones who know this deep dark truth?
Please — just one example of something Communist that this administration has done. Just one!
This is too easy. It will probably go on all day for you, Prime Obot.
First up–government takeover of GM
Capping Exec pay.
Messes with peoples’ ability to make an income in a free society. It’s the free society part that Obama hates. Hence the need to surround himself and litter the WH with Maoists and Marxists.
Yeah, Obama hates freedom. That’s why they’ve worked so hard to institute stronger controls over Wall Street while bailing them out to the tune of a trillion bucks, right?
Your notion that the White House is “littered with Maoists and Marxists” is utterly ignorant. News flash: this White House is run by Rahm Emanuel, Larry Summers, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, etc. These are creatures of Wall Street and the lobbyist world: corporatists all of them. The notion that the Obama White House is even remotely leftist is laughable to
anyone who actually knows anything about politics and government. If you want to criticize Obama, criticize him for being a corporate sellout (if he doesn’t get a public option passed, you can bet I will). But don’t waste the world’s time calling a Wall Street-friendly centrist a “Maoist,” because people will just laugh. And then ignore you.
Capping executive pay = shallow but trivial political move. It’s probably the best example of “Communism” that you’ll be able to come up with, so congrats on that.
You didn’t say “best” example, you said “one” example. There is nothing “best” about communism.
You can ignore the facts at your own peril, bot.
“littered with Maoists and Marxists” is accurate. How many Van Jones -Marxist - and Ms. Dunn - Maoist - examples do you need?
Why not do yourself a favor and really look into the backgrounds of Mr. Obama’s shadow government players - politely known as czars.
If you can do that and then come back here and say the Maoist/Marxist meme isn’t true. We will know YOU really didn’t study up or understand.
Nice try at being a political analyst but no one here is buying your schtick.
That half-pint, half-wit Prima Bota makes a living at splitting hairs and redefining words to suit his particular needs. I do wish Larry would ban the twit for cause–having an IQ approaching negative territory.
Actually, the bots and their dear leader are now laughable.
While it is impolite to laugh at or make fun of the intellectually and functionally immature, they are providing some rather large silliness to take aim at.
I’ve been waiting for you to start asking for me to be banned, Ferd, since your ceaseless insults have no impact on me, as there are plenty of people on this site (and on this thread) who are capable of actual political discussion and are willing to have it with me. I myself no longer traffic in the cruel-insult game, so I really doubt I’ll be banned. Feel free to ignore me, instead of trying (rather desperately) to explain to other people who are actually talking to me why they shouldn’t. That is lame.
Pbot your nothing more than a Major, pumpkin.
Making it a law that all doctors will be required to service Medicaid patients at re-re-imbersment rates structure by a government and with a board of un-elected individuals deciding who lives and who dies?
With big pharma and insurance crawled so far up BO’s immoral ass they coming out his TOTUS?
That?
You think the pharma and insurance companies will be happy about the public option? If Congress actually passes the bill that it looks like they’re going to pass, that will be a big declaration from Obama and the Democrats to the insurance industry lobbyists. I’ve been really hoping for this, and believing it would happen, but I wasn’t sure. Now it’s looking really good. This emerging bill is a big flip of the bird from Obama to the insurance industry. Believe me, if he was in their pocket, there would be no public option in the bill.
Pbot is now on record saying that Big Pharma and insurance are the losers.
I would never “believe” you or anyone eles for that matter. That would require an evil knevel leap of faith. Not gonna happen.
This emerging bill is a big flip of the bird from Obama to the
insurance industrythe American people.Wait a minute Ferd, “-Prima Bota” ?
Feminizing to diminish? Is that it?
Turning ‘Prime Obot’ into ‘Prima Bota’ is supposed to be degrading, ridiculing?
What’s next:”-Iron my shirt!!”?
You can get him to iron whoever’s shirt is required!
Iron your own shirt, twit.
Government takeover, huh? As opposed to letting the entire auto manufacturing industry go under at the same time that all of Wall Street was also collapsing? That’s really what you would have advocated? I’m sure.
Yes. I don’t fall for governmental scare tactics. GM would have filed for bankruptcy, which is an orderly and rather common process.
Well–guess what? The government takeover did NOT prevent GM from going under–they filed for bankruptcy 6 months later!!! HAHA!!! The joke is TOTALLY on us–We the Suckers!!!
Anything else, Sonic Ninja. It hasn’t been a long day for me yet. The GM takeover was, for most economists, an absolutely necessary step to keep the entire industry from collapsing. Today’s announcement about exec pay I find to be repellent, honestly, and don’t approve of it. It’s purely for domestic political theater. But really, is that the best you got, when it comes to Maoism? Cause if it is, the assertion is a mighty FAIL.
reply to previous comment in moderation–email already sent
In any case, why do you move the targets? You asked for “one” example, I gave you one (more, actually). What’s up with the relativism?
I think my long reply to you is also in limbo. But thank you for your serious note.
The takeover wasn’t meant to rescue the industry as much as it was a political payback to the unions. GM could have restructured through bankruptcy and eventually emerged with a more favorable and financially prudent business plan. Of course, the unions would have had to back way off of their rediculously crushing contracts, accept job saving concessions, and enter into a more reasonable relationship with GM. That would have been the logical solution, but then, Obama would not have been able to use taxpayer dollars to generously reward the UAW for their political support, he would not have had control of GM, and he would have been acting in violation of his fascist principles. And as long as Obama is allowed to use the phony and pathetic excuse that the bailout was necessary to save the industry, he’ll have mindless champions like you botfly cheering for more theft of taxpayer dollars.
Well put. The GM takeover was indeed a political move and a gift to the unions.
an absolutely necessary step to keep the entire industry from collapsing.
PBot, why is it that you don’t understand the auto industry had ALREADY collapsed?
What is it that keeps you from seeing the cause, only to be blinded by the effect?
OK, gotta do some others, here:
bailout supporter (yes, McCain was, too–don’t get me started on all these clowns)
constantly suppresses, ridicules, & marginalizes dissenters
poised to support control of internet if S. 773 makes it through
free trade restrictions galore (yes, many others do, too–they are all corporate communists)
appointing of ‘czars’–people neither elected nor review by elected officials
imho, the whole “stimulus” package was simply a redistribution of wealth as opposed to an economic necessity
law does not apply to him–will not address birth certificate issue directly
acts like a supreme ruler as opposed to a public servant with all the trips & parties
executive branch takeover of 2010 census
and the BIGGIE: supports central banking, aka the Federal Reserve. This is corporate communism, and has been going on for decades in this country, and not only has Obama not changed a thing about it, he seeks an INCREASE in the Fed’s power and control over our lives.
Read “End the Fed” by Ron Paul. It will open your eyes!!!
Sonic:
Prime Dingbot doesn’t want the BLINDERS taken off. That’s why he loves Bill Maher and MSNBC. They only report the WH talking points.
But, don’t hold it against him. He’s a writer that needs to be taken care of.
How about those insurance premiums you pay for your family OButt? What do they cost you a month? Or, are they costing us?
Stop the high expectation of an Obot fest!
I always love your FESTive comments, Donna!
Of course I want the truth, and i will respond to Sonic Kitty’s fine note momentarily. Donna, my longtime nemesis, you are more in the friendly comic relief category, but I will answer your question: the company I work for supplies my and my family’s health care, though I do pay for a portion of it through payroll taxes. We’re pretty secure, though, by American standards. Thanks for asking!
Sounds like a “Cadillac” plan botfly. If the Obama plan goes through, your employer will probably drop it rather than pay 40% taxes on it. Have fun finding something better.
Prime Dingbot talk about comedic relief. Everytime you post, I bust a gut! You’re hilarious. Everytime I think people can’t possibly THAT stupid, you show up.
Rev up the “Cadillac” and say “Goodbye.”
Hey brotha can you spare a dime? My mortgage needs to be paid?
Keep up the comedic relief fest. This place would be boring without you. Plus, we wouldn’t have as many hits on the blog!
Prime Dingbot:
Talk about comedic relief. I bust a gut everytime you post because of the shear idiocy you espouse. I love having you here because this place would be boring and we wouldn’t have as many hits on the blog.
Rev up the “Cadillac” and say, “Goodbye.”
Keep up the posting fest cause we luv ya brotha!
If your assessments of both the definitions of “Cadillac plans” and such plans’ likely new tax burdens are accurate, Onofre, then yes, tens of millions of upper middle class Americans like me could suddenly be thrown, along with our families, into overnight health insurance limbo even while still employed by our Fortune 500 companies. However, the odds of this actually happening are, I would say, roughly the odds of a large meteorite destroying the United States completely during Obama’s first term.
No need for a meteor, Obama and his imps are handling the destruction of the United States without any extraterrestrial help.
You think they’re destroying the United States? Really? You think the U.S. will be much worse off when Obama leaves office?
Of course you do. I think just the opposite; I think the Republicans have been torching this country’s budget and institutions and infrastructure for decades now, a process which accelerated dramatically under W. Bush and is only now just beginning to be cleaned up.
Today’s news about the likely adoptions of a strong public option in the Senate plan is the news I’ve been waiting for. This president is freaking awesome. You wait and see. This health bill is going to pass, and it is going to turn around the federal budget over the next decade while lifting tens of millions of Americans out of economic insecurity, bankruptcy and early death.
You’ve just shown your belly, bot. If you think that it’s the government’s job or Obama’s job to make your life and anyone else’s better, then you are not interested in helping yourself.
You are a slave - waiting for someone to give you another helping of gruel.
The reason so many think -including you apparently - that victimhood is a viable life goal, is because they relish the thought of never taking responsibility.
You may have your victimhood. Apparently it is the most comfortable way for you to deal with life.
Have you done your homework on the czars, yet? Any retort will further the suspicion that you are really unable to function without a massa.
You’re really invested with your dilusional love for a seriously disturbed man/child. “Freaking awesome”? Obama is FREAKING AWESOME?? I think the lack of blood to your small brain caused by your Obama induced priapitis of a much smaller organ, is preventing you from developing a rational thought.
Someone exactly like you must have been the inspiration for Voltaire when he wrote “Candide”. And your repetitive mantra that “Obama is the best President in the best of all possible worlds”, is becoming more laughable than someone of your limited humor can comprehend.
So Vegas is taking odds? That meteorite won’t fall from the heavens Pbot, it will desend from BO’s arse. Flush twice.
Prime Dingbot:
You keep saying the odds are….
What happens to Mr. To Be or Not to Be when the large meteorite actually happens. Where will you be then dingbot?
Stop the odds are fest!
>>OK, gotta do some others, here:
Thank you for this serious note, Kitty.
>>bailout supporter (yes, McCain was, too–don’t get me started on all these clowns)
And Bush. Everyone, in other words, who actually had, or might have, executive authority, anywhere in the developed world last fall, all did the same thing: take direct public action to prevent the global economic system from complete, profound, terrifying collapse. The bailouts are very easy to criticize. But criticizing Obama in particular is silly, and frankly, if you cannot say what you believe would have happened if the bailouts had NOT taken place, you don’t have anything significant to say at all.
From what I’ve read, without the massive bailouts last fall and winter from the successive Bush and Obama administrations, the entire global banking and insurance systems would have gone under. Nobody in human history has ever seen a collapse like that. The suffering would have been unimaginable.
So please don’t list the bailouts as some evidence of Communistic tendencies unless you’re willing to defend the position that you really don’t think they should have happened.
>>constantly suppresses, ridicules, & marginalizes dissenters
Name one instance in which Obama actually does this? Or, alternatively, name a major political party that doesn’t attempt to ridicule and marginalize dissenters. That’s pretty much all the Republican Party does anymore at all. LOL.
>>poised to support control of internet if S. 773 makes it through
“Control of the Internet?” By whom? Hang on.
This bill seems to have to do with national security and the Net? I work in the dotcom world and hadn’t heard of it, so it can’t have gotten very far yet. But certainly I’ve seen politicians of both parties take positions on Internet issues that seemed stupid to me. I’ll have to take a pass on this because I don’t know anything about it yet. But trust me — nobody is taking control of the Internet. Nobody. Can’t be done, not anymore.
>>free trade restrictions galore (yes, many others do, too–they are all corporate communists)
Yes, they are, and yes, I tend to agree with you. I don’t think this White House has been terribly egregious in this regard yet, though.
>>appointing of ‘czars’–people neither elected nor review by elected officials
LOL. As opposed to whom? The Bush White House had the worst record of appointing political hacks to important positions of any administration in history — see Michael Brown at FEMA, 25 year political operatives running the rebuilding of Iraq, evangelical zealots running health policy, etc. Obama is not a big sinner in this regard, at all.
>>imho, the whole “stimulus” package was simply a redistribution of wealth as opposed to an economic necessity
You’re wrong. It was absolutely an economic necessity. In fact, a second stimulus is probably an economic necessity. But…transfer of wealth? From whom to whom? What really happened was a transfer of wealth from future tax payments (i.e., the public) to large corporations today. If Obama is anything, he’s a robber baron: he’s transferring wealth from the middle class and the poor and giving it to the wealthy. Like I keep saying: he’s no Communist; if anything, he’s a corporatist.
>>law does not apply to him–will not address birth certificate issue directly
LOL. No comment.
>>acts like a supreme ruler as opposed to a public servant with all the trips & parties
LOL. No comment. Too silly to warrant a response.
>>executive branch takeover of 2010 census
What? Really? Citation please.
>>and the BIGGIE: supports central banking, aka the Federal Reserve. This is corporate communism, and has been going on for decades in this country, and not only has Obama not changed a thing about it, he seeks an INCREASE in the Fed’s power and control over our lives.
Uh oh. Now you’re waving your real flag. You’re a gold standard person, huh? Oy.
>>Read “End the Fed” by Ron Paul. It will open your eyes!!!
BINGO! LOL. Look, I have read Paul — the smart stuff, not the crazy stuff. I do not believe, for instance, like Ron Paul does, that there’s a secret conspiracy to merge the U.S. and Mexico. And I do have some libertarian sympathies. But I’m sorry — the economic policies the man advocates are the kind of crazy, pie-in-the-sky theoretical musing that you can do indulge in if you know you will never have power anyway. The U.S. is not going to abolish the Federal Reserve, nor should it, nor will we ever return to the gold standard. The greatest burst of prosperity in American history (roughly, 1946 - 2008) happened after we left the gold standard, established the Federal Reserve, enacted Social Security and Medicare, and so on down the “socialist” line. Hardcore libertarian ideology is bankrupt. Hardcore libertarian ideology led to the deregulation of the interlocking banking, mortgage and investment systems, which led to the derivatives debacle which cost the global economy trillions of dollars and led us all into this ditch.
And all of this happened before Obama was elected.
Thank you for your response. You and I are obviously diametrically opposed on the subjects of Keynesianism and central banking.
So, how have these ideologies been working out for you (and ALL of us) lately? DOUBLE BINGO! They have been devastating. I have an idea–let’s stop using them! The worst in unemployment is yet to come, and a new round of defaults (in retail property) is on the horizon. Pretty soon the ‘recovery’ propaganda is going to wear thin and everything will be more evident.
I do stand by all of my statements, regardless of whether you find them “silly” or not–they are facts. Rather than go point by point, I will just make a few statements on the economy and the actions of this (and, yes, previous) administration(s):
The bailouts should NOT have taken place. TARP was not even used for its original purpose, thereby proving it wasn’t needed. The bailouts were a transfer of wealth between the taxpayers and banks, period. Do not fall for the government scare tactics. Visit http://dailybail.com for complete coverage of everything bailout related. You will soon figure out what really went down. We’ve been had big time.
I’m not really sure what you think Obama needs to do to be considered a Maoist/Marxist. He is not going to don a little green cap with a red star. Coercively taking over and/or supporting handpicked industries or companies–in cahoots with the corporations or not–qualifies him as a communist in my book. He is no champion of private property rights or liberty.
Great wealth comes from producing goods and services, NOT from printing money or from fractional reserve banking which makes it appear you’ve become richer (and bankers are the first in line to profit from it–no wonder they like it!). Fiat money does not make you wealthy, it only provides you with more paper to count. A standard (and yes, why not use gold) prevents fiat money from distorting reality. Central banks such as the Fed do not want sound money because it restricts THEIR power. Think about that. Really–think hard. They are not a cuddly group of benevolent teddy bears over there. Stop the trustfest.
Prosperity is achieved through work, the exchange of ideas, investments and innovation. Prosperity is NOT primarily created by bankers who manipulate numbers and push papers.
Ron Paul has 304 co-sponsors in the House for his “Audit the Fed” bill, so obviously he is much better at convincing people of the soundness of his ideas than you give him credit for. This number is huge. Only political shenanigans can hold it back now. Unfortunately, we are all too familiar with this type of garbage.
It’s time we listened to economists with sound ideas, not hacks masquerading as economists with personal agendas or political ideologies. Visit http://mises.org and check out their faculty. There is a solid backing of these sound ideas in economics. All that is needed is for these ideas to break through the pervasive government and media propaganda. They stand entirely on their own merits.
Hopefully my comment will be fished out soon–email sent. Spammy is hungry tonight!
PB- Getting back to the Constitution isn’t going to happen via Obama. To say ‘hey, look at Bush cuz he was worse’ is a lame-ass excuse. Obama is worse than Bush as not only has he engaged and expanded on most of the Bush agenda, he has failed to come up with a single idea that is genuinely his own.
Trying to control the media by calling Fox “not a news organization” and telling the likes of CNN etc., that they shouldn’t follow Fox. (i.e. ACORN)
Capping executive pay.
Using healthcare as a means of economic justice as opposed to insurace for all.
And while the WH is claiming FOX isn’t a news organization because of its opinion shows, some opinion commentators from the other so called news stations are invited for a 2-1/2 hour behind closed door “off the record” briefing at the WH.
He represents a cult of personality, much like Mao. That you aren’t able to see analogous traits is more a reflection on your inability to see past the trifles and is not our problem. You split hairs at every opportunity when criticizing out comments all the while engaging in irrelevancies to support your own delusional position on just about everything in the interim. Your arguments consist of nothing more than gainsay, wrapped up as cogent thought.
Please — just one example of something Communist that this administration has done. Just one!
How about that nice little email address where you could turn individuals in for not telling That One’s “truth”, aka equivocation and as apposed to objective truth, about the deathcare bill. Had Bush done something like that, you would still be having a fit. You bots on the hard left are just as goofy and anti-intellectual as the bots on the hard right.
Next, please.
Ha, good one. I’d forgotten that one. Hardly Maoist, but you get points for remembering it.
Time for you to get to school, kid. There’s praise to be sung of your very own Chairman Obama. Do you have his little beige book, yet?
“You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world…..”
“You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You’d better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow / Don’t you know…
All right, all right…”
I had that song going through my head, too.
These are truly juvenile frat boys who couldn’t win during the late 60’s and early 70’s. So as W fought his war for Daddy, they’re fighting theirs for the likes of Davis and Ayers.
IDIOTS!
Good one yttk, spot on.
Absolutely - perfect!
Obama is running a “de facto” government through the use of his czars. On the surface, his administration seems to bland and uneventful, yet underneath it all the CZARS are running things and as your article discusses, they are anything but uneventful.
The article below is very scary in some ways, but I think it is a must-read. It’s too bad that some people dismiss information/articles coming from conservative authors/newscasters, etc., because in my opinion, they seem to be the only ones in today’s world who will give us the facts/truth about Obama & Co.
http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2009/090802.html
The pattern of Obama’s association is as clear as my kid’s drawing of connect the dots!
Thanks Amy!
I just recently read an article about Mao and his “Cult of Personality”.
It looks like Obama is following in the footsteps of Mao, and any who disagree with BO or his policies will be shut down.
I’m sure they’ll figure out some way to get Fox News off the air, restrict the internet, etc., until we are all “in step” with Dear Leader.
These people are scary.
I can’t believe the public is not taking this seriously.
Shit sandwich coming……..hold the Mao.
rof Isn’t that the Obama Shit Sandwich…Heavy on the Mao?
Pat Racimora…where are you? We need your talents.
Obama Shit Sandwich,
Heavy on the Mao!
I’ll be sure to pass that along to Pat!
And thanks, ImaLindatoo!
LOL–I’m on my way out of town (but I CAN see that toon in my head and it’s not pretty).
rofl, truth can be ugly.
Hahaha, Harp. Very clever. I missed this one a first scan.
Amazing. Great post.
But I go back to….who on the Obama Adviser/Czar role of aiding policy making is NOT an avowed Marxist or Communist? Really, this seems to be a prerequisite. Van Jones, Dunn, McChesney, Bloom, Jeff Jones (weather underground fame), Mark Lloyd and I’m sure a longer list awaiting their history and record pointing to the same.
omg, see, I already forgot…Valerie Jarrett, Queen of the heap, who sought them out-like Van Jones.

Nat Hentoff: Is this right? Obama’s unrestrained FBI: Is this America?
October 15, 2009
This is one of the myriad reasons why I was ALWAYS against the
PatriotLast Refuge of Scoundrels Act. Nobody listened until That One got the power, then it was SUDDENLY a bad law. Well, I’m here to tell you that bad law is bad law irrespective of who is wielding it as a club with which to beat someone over the head.The Patriot Act kept your soggy ass safe when the terrorist wanted to blow it to bits, you moron.
Now you are against it, but the real patriots still had to fight the War on Terror when you were hiding under the bed peeing in your pants, you fool.
Don’t let you mind wander - it’s far too small to be let out on its own.
and you need to zip it think you will find your mouth is running off on a Patriot who probably fought the war on terror that allowed you to get to the age you are today whilst being walked around in your stroller.
You need to keeep your mouth in check!
The czars for the most part are just useful i.d.i.o.t.s. They think they are bringing socialist and Marxist values into our government. They are being punked like the rest of us. As you have stated above
more exactly large banks are being financed with
our moneyfiat money to acquire the assets of smaller banks.Yes, and less than democratic is an understatement as is socialism an understatement. We have seen this pattern before, and it wasn’t that long ago. Though our kids haven’t been taught relevant history for some time. We have seen instances where the government “partners” with large business before. We have seen the government control the media before. We have in recent history seen schools indoctrinate children in song about their nation’s leader. This isn’t socialism, and it’s not Mao style communism. The czars may pine for Mao and Che, but that isn’t where this looks like it is headed. The truth is worse.
So what do you see as the “truth” Doceider?
A dictatorship?
Wow, this could be an entire article really. Well to quote Franklin D. Roosevelt
The czars believe Obama is a sort of modern day FDR, with a dash of Mao and Che. No hardly. He is more the embodiment of FDR’s warning quoted above. He is more like corporatism’s post turtle.
O.K. here’s more from just today. White House orders pay cuts of bailout execs by up to 90%.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/33417281
O.K. and I will go ahead and quote the wiki out of expediency.
Still, I see this as some new hybrid which is as much corporatism acting via insider connections and lobbying as a pseudo government.
Like the financial controls just recently announced.
Like the executive salary controls.
Like national service week for beginners.
Like the automakers, the banks and ultimately unions.
Anyway here is the link. Much more is on the Internet. To think of this as communism misses the point I believe.
Yes, more like a tweener but with a blending of corporatism. A fundamental change to the United States across the board with an unholy alliance between corporate business and government.

Yeah, this has been my take all along, that Obama has co-opted the far left but is in reality more corporate-fascist than anything.
We’re headed for the worst sort of autocracy–one run by a group of m o r o n s who that are led by a narcissistic boob bent on running this country into the nearest ditch. The only thing I can see close to it in existence is North Korea, a country which is also being run directly into the ground by a narcissistic boob.
This seems a bit Mao-ish to me.
Larry Grathwohl on Ayers’ plan for American re-education camps and the need to kill millions:

You think that’s bad? Listen to Ayers talk in 2002 about being an anarchist. And the evidence on this video ties Ayers DIRECTLY to Obama.
These freaks are sick.
And they are running our country.

If Obama & Co. control the health care system in America, they can kill millions by denying them end of life coverage. Getting rid of large amounts of senior citizens and brining new blood in illegals (younger people who can be brainwashed and forced into the New Order) is part and parcel of their plan.
Maybe he will start by getting rid of all the “typical white women.” Their pre-condition? They were women with no minority status to protect them.
West Virginia,
All I can tell you is if I had a Commander-in-Chief who said things like ‘typical black people’, I’d be worried.
I remember watching this during the primary. Having been the age of thes idiots during this time period, I could easily make the jump from the Ayers type to the Charlie Manson type, just a few more drugs and a slight bit more narcissism and you get the Manson massacre. That anyone could associate with this man (Ayers) and make it to the presidency is beyond my ability to understand. Are people in this country so worried about making judgments?
RRRA,
Good videos, as usual, great post!
Geez, I always think of the Chamber of Commerce as those nice guys in the vests who work at the fairs and the car shows, etc. You know the ones who work hard to keep their communities alive and vital. It’s hard to picture the Chicago mob going after them.
But OT a little. One of our major Kool-Aid drinking columnists in Denver just claimed that while Fox may have great ratings, the President is silly for going after them because AFTERALL only people who are used to watching Fox watch it.
Reading the comments on the post below, I think he needs a wake up call. I wrote him about how I was not used to watching Fox. I’d like him to be inundated with emails from people telling him how they were not USED to watching Fox and how they do watch it now:

Done. What username did you use. I would like to “vote up” your comment. Someone has already “voted down” mine.
On wiki (I know… I know!) it says that the Chinese government has largely taken Mao out of the textbooks in their school - equivalent of high school. Interesting fact, if it is true.
And here we have a bunch of loser czars and an even bigger loser president trying to revive some old ’60’s psychedelic college dreams of turning the country into socialist nightmare.
Keep up the good fight, FOX News!
But then, you have someone like Cass Sunstein [he did win Congressional confirmation [Information and Regulatory Czar]], whose philosophy is off the charts. From where I sit, this whole czar business is a way of floating a shadow government beneath the radar, something that undermines the Republic. Many of these people are highly questionable. There’s no way in hell a Van Jones should have ever gotten close to the WH. Unless by design.
And now, as Amy points out, we have people admiring Chairman Mao, referring to his grand political philosophy, a mass murderer.
Good essay, Amy!
Here’s a fun fact abt Cass - he’s married to Samantha Power, remember her? The one who called Hillary a “monster”?
And thanks - I appreciate it.
GREAT comments, folks - very interesting and informative!
Mao and all things Communist love must by why Obama is not heading to Berlin for the 20 year anniversary to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall next month. So now he’s dissed Angela Merkel too. Way to go pissing off our allies Obama. Maybe he has a Letterman interview to do that week or a date night with Michelle.

Seemingly Communism did not fall but went into a masquerade as laid out by members of Team Obama.
Hang that Mao portrait a little to the left please! LOL!
Beck had his assistant sitting on a stool dressed like Mao…his crew must be pretty good sports.
I saw the spokesman for the Chamber three times, and he was very eloquent and assertive. He did not blink, and assured the viewers that they will be working hard in 2010!
So will I!
More creepy in World Net today about Anita Dunns’s husband. He is the one Obama has paid all of the money to to cover his background, and threaten citizens that try to do anything about it.
And then the other article on defend our freedoms about the plant that Dunn’s husband has just put into the judge’s office who is going to hear the case on Obama. This judge is an ex-marine who wanted to get to the bottom of things, now his tune is changing. Gee, I wonder why?
This IS disturbing. I want that case to go forward and I want full disclosure from O.
Full disclosure from 0?? Right.
Why does he have to plant someone in the judge’s office when all he has to do is show the long form of his birth certificate?

This Mao stuff is no joke. Everyone, please look up S 773, learn about it and contact your senator in strenuous and loud opposition.
Taken from a Campaign for Liberty email:
Sad and scary.
I’ll say! That’s horrifying! That kind of thing is just emphasizes what we keep saying abt this man. He is far more dangerous than Bush was, I think. I wrote a bunch abt how I thought Obama was Bush III, but maybe he is Cheney II?
mayday–comment censored by spammy–mayday Thank you.
American Thinker has compiled a list (with descriptions) of Obama friends.

Thanks for this bio of BO’s associates. It’s like reading Hitler’s Who’s Who in the S.S.
Don’t worry Pres Obama & The Chamber of Commerce will kiss & make up. Didn’t The Chamber, the Regional Commissions all lobby for out of control immigration & development, massive clear cuttings, & NAFTA etc. This just a little spat in an enduring love affair.
I don’t care what the Chamber has done in the past.
They have deep pockets, and are now committed to taking on the dems in 2010.
I’m wishing them success, and hope they stay riled through 2012 as well!
Remember all the flap about “mainstream” judges?
We should be far more concerned about the philosophy of those who have a president’s ear!
Before the Super Delegate debacle, there were at least five democrats that I respected and admired. The same for republicans. I might not have voted a republican into the Presidency, but I would have made a real effort to respect him.
Now, I am searching for a national figure that embodies my idea of citizenship.
Perhaps Gen. Petraeus and Bill Gates and his wife…sure is a short list!
Never. He makes a lot of money by having everyone who purchases his junk an employee of the company as beta testers by proxy with his operating systems being put on the market without the requisite quality assurance testing done beforehand. I don’t think those bozos ever heard of requirements management.
Microsoft is to computer operating systems as Walmart is to quality shopping.
Having just torn apart a server running both Linux and Windows, I respectfully disagree.
If Microsoft is Walmart, then Linux is a flea market in a dodgy part of town.
I’m not speaking to servers but Linux is OK–just not standardized. Unix (and Mac after a fashion) is boss. Unix servers can’t be beaten. 128-bit systems are phenomenal. Plus, you never have to reboot, even when repairing a superblock. The problem with Microsoft OS of all flavors is that the system doesn’t recognize a process change and reread the system.dat file and registry. Reboot, reboot, reboot.
You should never have to reboot any real operating system.
I have been working with Unix/Linux since 1999 at work but use MS at home. I’d rather be surfing at work, frankly. Unix and Linux can be difficult in that I’ve had to learn how to use TCL but they seldom crash and when they do, you can actually make the repairs yourself. It is a system for those who actually like chasing electrons.
This should make your blood run cold. A comparison of our government today with Soviet Union:

But to me it is more of a “partnership”. It’s the third way. Why does Obama though surrounded by socialists feel so much like Bush II? Why did Bush II though surrounded by neocons work out to be just like Obama? It is because the people surrounding these Presidents are just useful i.d.i.o.t.s. Bush II wasn’t a conservative and Obama isn’t a socialist. They are the same, because what we are looking at is fascism and an unholy alliance between corporatists and government.
I was scared to death when Bush was elected, but that turned out to be nothing compared to the chill I felt when Obama came to power. Maybe I just paid attention more this time to the process that got him there. But this whole cult of worship that surrounds him, the absolute inability of some people to see what a liar, fraud, cheat, they had intentionally elected makes me feel as though I am living in some weird alternate universe inhabited by human-looking Obamadroids. At least people woke up to Bush and his poll numbers were in the 30’s when he left. 0’s numbers are dropping, but they will never get that low. Now he is declaring how much people will earn, and reaching into pockets to take back what he thinks is fair??? The whole 9/11 Day of Service…no! That day should forever be about remembering the thousands of people who lost their lives, not an ode to Obama and his life of ’service.’ He is not Bush II. He is far more insidious…
I feel the same.
Whenever I think about Mao, I think about Madam Mao.
Apparently Mao’s plans were great (and still are according to our current administration), yet after his death she was placed on trial and received a death sentence (later commuted to life in prison). Mr Mao goes in and out of fashion, has monuments, and is sometimes on the money. The Mrs? Not so much.
Interesting how often women become the designated hate vessel.
Well, she was also part of the Gang of Four, which didn’t do her much good, either, as in guilt by association.
Sure, I am no fan of the Mao clan, but why did Madam Mao deserve a fate so much worse than the Mr?
It seems very easy for folks to villify a woman, more so than a man. Just look at Bill and Hillary. People really heaped the hate on her, more so than him.
Anyway, I am entirely unshocked that Obama’s staff loves Mao. Of course they do. What does shock me is that America voted for it.
It wasn’t about her, ultimately. Mao was an asshole but also a cruel despot who ruled with an iron fist. She paid the price for it not because she was a woman per se but because she was his spouse. They couldn’t take it out on him personally, so she was the substitute. I really don’t believe it was completely sexist any more than killing Marie Antoinette was, although one could make the supposition and probably make a compelling argument.
I do agree with you, however, in that we have no room to whine about how women are treated anywhere else when this country does the same–in art, entertainment, politics, etc. We need to clean up our house prior to criticizing the conditions of others. That One is a little Chairman Mao, the only difference being that Mao had an intense focus; That One only has needs.
Actually, the second Mrs. Mao probably got it the worst.
There were about 900,000,000 Chinese that got it pretty bad, too. I really don’t pity the Chinese oligarchy that, either through action, inaction, or turning a blind eye, allowed Mao to do the things he did. Despots and those who associate with them are not to be pitied.
[...] Mao Is Mighty Popular Among Obama’s Czars [...]
Didn’t Chairman Mao force the “academics” and intellectually elite out to labor with the peasants on the communal farms as part of his ideal to bring social equality to China? Wonder if that’s what Obama or whomever or whatever is behind Obama eventually has in mind for his “Czars”?
Maybe, if Ron Bloom, Anita Dunn, Sunstein, Samantha Power, Ayers, Obama himself of course, and the whole truckload of socialists and anarchists “wannabees” were forced to do something like chopping weeds out of a soybean field on a hot summer day with the temperatures at near 100 degrees farenheit for a couple of weeks, they might decide to admire someone else besides Mao.
