Oooooooo! :)
Well I’d love to believe that he’s talking about individuals, I’m afraid he’s still talking about collectivism, only bottom-up collectivism rather than top-down collectivism. I’m surprised he didn’t blurt out “New 21th Century Man” or some such phrase like communists liked to use.
If you ask anyone why they voted for him and they answered honestly they’d say “he makes a good speech”. I can give a great speech but I’m not qualified to be president.
Does this mean no pie?
I think Obama is probably going to tick liberals and Conservatives off royally, over the next four years. It’s going to be an interesting time, destruction amid some decent policies and many ill-advised.
That is the response I get when the query is answered by Women. You can't print what I hear from the Men.
Black politicians are no different than white ones...
Both lie...
I was just thinking exactly that when I read this. One minute he’s talking wealth redistribution, the next he’s sounding like Bill Cosby. I don’t believe he’s Machiavellian enough to hide any clear-cut agenda that well, so I think he’s never really had a deeply-held conviction or worldview, other than the small piece of one concerning the black race. I think when it concerns the black race as opposed to the general good will be the only time he knows what he believes without considering the political ramifications to himself. And his wife the hater Michelle plays into that as much as anything. Everything he’s said and done (inasmuch as he’s done anything) has merely been stepping-stones to gaining power. What he’ll do now that he has the ultimate position in American politics and therefore the free world, is a guess.
I’d like to have been a fly on the wall when he had lunch with the other presidents-I can just imagine him studying them, especially President Bush, who has always seemed to me to have complete confidence in himself and his beliefs, for better or worse, without having to analyse and second-guess himself. I can see Obama studying him, wondering if it’s because President Bush is white and came from a privileged background that he has such unselfconscious self-assurance, and wondering how to attain it in his own core. He won’t understand that it’s not being white, nor privileged, that gives you that-it’s having your own core convictions and knowing why. All he can do is fake the appearance of it. I say that because he seems to be projecting a somewhat different Obama than the one in the campaign. He’s always playing a role. But now he’s going to have to make the tough decisions-hard to have a clear-cut agenda and be comfortable with it when you don’t know who you are and what you really believe, other than your race. Unless he plans to be a merely “racial” president, with a lot of whispering in his ear from Michelle the hater.
Really? During the campaign I got the idea that the government can solve everything.
Sadly, I got that idea from both major candidates.
Wallace was a political demagogue extraordinaire, willing to say anything, anywhere to any group to gain power.
Dear Terry,
You are probably more qualified than O.

” This guy’s rhetoric is simply all over the place. Lack of core beliefs will do that to you.”
The same thought crossed my mind! This guy is sounding more and more like Bill Clinton (lawyer) every day.
there should be a line on when BTMN melts down and has a nervous breakdown and is declared non compos mentis...
Actually I believe what he is doing is trying to set the country up for when he establishes forced labor battalions, in which we all "volunteer" to do clean up work and other chores with no pay. Especially retired people. I really believe that is what all of his "We all must sacrifice" BS is about.
Wait a friggin’ minute! This POS said just last week that only the government can solve the economic crisis, but now he’s changing his mind? When it comes to flip-flops this guy makes John al-Querry look like steel-reinforced combat boots.
Odumbo is sooooo not ready for prime time.
>> write books about myself
He didn’t even do THAT himself.
