		<description>Taxed Out

How about immigration to Canada. Universal Health Care since the 70s and constitutionally protected Women&#039;s rights.  Looks good and better all the time as long as the Indonesian hobo is in the White House....</description>

Good for him. But why did he invite Rick Warren The Evangelical Used Car Salesman on his inaugration....wants his cake and eat it too. The most DIVISIVE president in history accoridng to the polsters...</description>

James sweetie, HIllary has more guts and has been far more consistent in setting out clearly her stated policies and their objectives than Obama will ever be. How many flip-flops do we recall since he, unfortunately, became the other coin of the Dubya Bush Coin of Incompetence and Arrogance and Cluelessness (he&#039;s the joke of the Europeans for his curtsy with Abdullah)

Why do you think your moron-prez. Baracks ObaMyopic says the day he sends out 20,000 trooops to Afganistan (no doubt to allow little girls to take Feminism 101 uninterruptedly, eh, moron?) that he believes in &quot;only Diplomacy and Development&quot; Yah! and my grandmother wore Obama T-shirts!  What a ventriloquist&#039;s lying Dummy Obummer has turned out to be!  And YOU James Sweetie still prefer to bash HIllary for her &quot;Wall Street connections&quot;  Hell, boy, do some reading on the primaries!  Obummer outspent both her and McCain by millions of bucks given to him by the Oil pipeline interests that got this anorexic resume holder the Top Dog&#039;s Job!
Why do you think sweetie pie that he sent the troops and billions of Taxpayers&#039; bucks to continue a future &#039;war&#039; that is really a front for his Oil Investment Pipeliners.  He&#039;s sending the troops not for Freedom or Feminism classes--he&#039;s proven he HATES women--just watch the YouTube sensation of this Barackhead with the women from THE VIEW...Obummer&#039;s twiching and sitting nervously and ironing out his little pantsuitie, etc. etdc.  NERVOUS NELLIE OBUMMER ON &quot;THE VIEW&quot; is what you should watch to see this insecure piece of Misogyny at work!!!!

He&#039;s got Wall Street interests and Oil Pipeline interests in Afganistan to protect. And this piece of Indonesian excrement doesn&#039;t give a constipated doo da for Main Street!  How could He?!  He&#039;s never understood Main Street...cause he is NOT an American even!  Wake up, sweetie

You ask:  Who will be cleaning up Obama&#039;s mess after his One-Term Prezidency?  =  HILLARY, WHO ELSE? and she said so during the (cheated) Primary! It&#039;s on record.</description>

		<description>Rob Reiner was on the campaign trail big time for Hillary.  I saw him at many fundraisers all over the country.  LOL and got a great pic of him with my mother at a fundraiser in Dallas.  The Clintons ARE the Dems of the people, the blue collar part of the party, etc.  That&#039;s why Hillary&#039;s not in the Oval Office.  The other side of the Dem party, the elitist pieces of crap like Pelosi, did her in.  Too bad.  Look what we got stuck with.  Garbage.</description>

		<description>Reposted above from FlDemDem:

&quot;This statement is pure crap.

Remember she only became a blue-collar mama when the well ran dry on the fat-cat contributors

I met Hillary Clinton in Arkansas, when she was First Lady of the state, and she was very concerned about “blue collar” workers then, and still is. She did a lot for women and children’s health care, affordable day care and other programs that were an enormous help to non-fat cats. If you are going to make blanket statements about people, do some research on them first. Your statement regarding fat-cat contributors and payola is much more applicable to Obummer than it is to Hillary Clinton. The only person he ever did anything for was himself. Ask Tony Rezko.&quot;

FLDemDem is correct -- Hillary has worked endlessly for the rights of women, children, first responders (just ask the 25,000 fireman in NYC who endorsed her), health care and veterans -- Obama does not hold a candle to her in this regard whatsoever.  Your insults to her don&#039;t hold water.  He is all talk, she is all walk.

You also might want to inquire of Rob Reiner, a big Hillary supporter who wrote many times of how tirelessly and diligently she worked to help his causes over the years regarding children&#039;s education and care.</description>

		<description>By the way, the NQ writers here take Pr. Obama to task on the issues and for you to claim that there would basically be no different between Obama and Clinton is silly to say the least.

You also use &quot;strident posturings&quot; to denigrate her -- strident is typically a word used to describe women -- never men.  Interesting.  As I stated earlier, I have no desire to see our President fail but please do not paint everyone at NQ with one brush.  That is what Obama&#039;s campaign was guilty of doing throughour -- negatively branding anyone who chose not to vote for him.

And as for liberals standing for something and meaning it -- we shall see --since Obama has overreached with signing statements, warrantless wiretapping,the DOJ will now not even allow you to sue against these activities unless what they do to an innocent citizen is &quot;made public&quot;, he has taken over an auto company and told the CEO to get lost -- the bailouts are a mystery at best and are certainly not helping the American people.  The list goes on and on -- talk about a slippery slope.  And if you are waiting for the likes of Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann (who is meek as a lamb when Obama is being criticized) to hold his feet to the fire, you can wait long.  These are the people who screamed the loudest to get him into office and were completely vile to Hillary Clinton -- very unfairly I might add.  Do you think they wil show themselves to be the clueless boobs they really are?

President Obama is showing himself to be exactly the opposite of what he campaigned on, and since he was voted in for his vision and not his experience (since he didn&#039;t have much to speak of) -- what the hell did anyone vote for?  Pardon my dust but I do not think that is vitriol on my part to question this.  It is reasonable.

I can understand people not wanting to admit a mistake but for crying out loud, do not pretend that anyone here is absolutely bonkers for not agreeing with you that he was the best out of the three.  You are entitled to your opinion.  I am entitled to mine.  Others are entitled to theirs.  

Mine is based on facts of his many flip flops, egregious misstatements and contradictions on the campaign trail, his voting record and his behavior.  He also asks us to sacrifice but spent double the amount on his inaugural festival that Pr. Bush spent.  Words have to match deeds, sir.  That is the biggest problem I find with President Obama -- &quot;Words, just words.&quot;

All that stated, I wish us all the best of luck here. We are going to need it.  I hope and pray that the office matures him before it is too late and the gravitas of the office and people&#039;s suffering wakes him up so he pays more attention to the American people and less attention to the &quot;perks&quot; of the job.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I don’t care where the solutions come from. I have long ceased drinking any Party’s Kool-Aid. I just don’t want to be living in an oligarchy or under the rule of “a Unitary Executive,” as a recent critic of Mr. Obama labeled him. Even some blog responders over at DailyKos were referring to the President by this moniker. Surprising.

&quot;After voting for Obama, I can now see he lied over and over again during the campaign. There will be no &#039;change&#039;. He never intended for there to be &#039;change&#039;. Only business as usual.&quot; 

I truly hope this is not the case. I don’t expect any President to perform perfectly. But certainly President Obama is doing exactly the opposite of what he promised. Mr. Obama’s most virulent supporters, who trashed us mercilessly while singing his praises, must be wondering how he can get away with this. The answer of course is they knowingly granted him this power when they decided to overlook his many contradictions on the campaign trail. When Hillary’s supporters shouted loud and long about these inconsistencies, they instead chose to shoot the messenger.

No one should be scratching their heads now.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I just read the whole article for the first time and you hit the nail on the head again, Ani.

Bush III is a fascist. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_fascism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;General characteristics of fascist economies&lt;/a&gt;:

Fascists considered the economy to be of little importance, and did not have clear economic views. One significant fascist economic belief was that prosperity would naturally follow once the nation has achieved a cultural and spiritual re-awakening. Often, different members of a fascist party would make completely opposite statements about the economic policies they supported. Once in power, fascists usually adopted whatever economic program they believed to be most suitable for their political goals.

The fascists opposed both international socialism and liberal capitalism, arguing that their views represented a third way. They claimed to provide a realistic economic alternative that was neither laissez-faire capitalism nor communism. &lt;strong&gt;They favoured corporatism and class collaboration, believing that the existence of inequality and separate social classes was beneficial. Fascists argued that the state had a role in mediating relations between these classes.&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;An inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme, meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controls production and allocation of resources. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Fascism operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. Their aim was to promote allegedly superior individuals and weed out the weak. In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because &quot;the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social.&quot; Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>I don’t care where the solutions come from. I have long ceased drinking any Party’s Kool-Aid. I just don’t want to be living in an oligarchy or under the rule of “a Unitary Executive,” as a recent critic of Mr. Obama labeled him. Even some blog responders over at DailyKos were referring to the President by this moniker. Surprising.</p>
<p>&#8220;After voting for Obama, I can now see he lied over and over again during the campaign. There will be no &#8216;change&#8217;. He never intended for there to be &#8216;change&#8217;. Only business as usual.&#8221; </p>
<p>I truly hope this is not the case. I don’t expect any President to perform perfectly. But certainly President Obama is doing exactly the opposite of what he promised. Mr. Obama’s most virulent supporters, who trashed us mercilessly while singing his praises, must be wondering how he can get away with this. The answer of course is they knowingly granted him this power when they decided to overlook his many contradictions on the campaign trail. When Hillary’s supporters shouted loud and long about these inconsistencies, they instead chose to shoot the messenger.</p>
