What a good job he did.

[/sarcasm]

So, invest in the government and you’re a communist? I suppose that you failed to notice that a government represents the country it governs. And that 787 billion dollar bailout he gave to America. And all those bailouts he gave to American buisnesses. And how he made BP agree to pay some 200 million or whatever for the oil spill.

Yes, Obama is investing in the government. He is leaving America to deal with its own problems.

the problem with you republicans is that you think everything that Obama does is bad. And that simply is not true.

Also a great number of you seem to forget that the president is only one part of the American political system. The president is called the Commander In Chief for a reason. What many seem to forget is that the president cannot spend a dime. Clinton left office with a surplus but people forget that it was during a Republican congress. Bush left office brimming with debt that started when congress went blue.

Finally… Totallytubular… you quote Reagon… he is very quotable. Here are a couple more for you…

Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.

I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‘public-spirited philanthropist’.

Thanks for the blood and economic destruction. Really appreciate it. Imagine what it would be like if he would have tried to do some good in the world! But of course, he (and his keepers – and many of those posting here) are not interested in that. Once the powers that be found out they could wrap an idiot mouthpiece in an american flag (Reagan) and have you swallow him, it was all downhill. Let’s hope Obama can undo SOME of the damage.

example:
A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?
Ronald Reagan

Actually the government owning everything is socialism. the people owning everything collectively is communism.

As for your second point about following polls by the letter, I seriously agree!

Oh no, of course not, because then you’d need to look up real facts.

obama wants a few government run companies.
communism is having the entire national economy run by the government.

and you know what? bush DID cause the mess.

did clinton waste our tax dollars on a war over oil? did he sit back and pretty much ignore hurricane katrina?
did he get ridiculed for 8 years of crappy politics?

No, I don’t believe he did!

and as I’ve heard, there was a surplus when clinton left office. now look where we are after bush!

So, because Iraq has crime, it’s our fault? Muslim sects don’t get along with each other too well, you know? And although I’m not blaming it entirely on that fact, there are quite a few there, and that is definitely playing a role.

P.S. – Rapes and murders happen here, too.

Oh, and, in case you’re wondering, I’m an Obama Coalition liberal. Criticize me if you want, call me a wingnut, whatever. I don’t care.

But it is why in the U.S. the healthcare system is completely lacking, and a lot of people live in poverty (wile the U.S. are not a third world country, are they?).

Do your background reading on wikipedia, for instance.

Then again, I have this subversive habit of thinking for myself, so maybe it’s just me.

Now I’m confoozled.

How original.

And if a Republican were president, you would be saying nothing just as before.

Investing other people’s money and then, when that fails, deciding the cure is more of other people’s money…. Well, not necessarily communism, but hardly deserving of defense.”

Not to mention that in this particular case it is outright theft (if not merely newly created/inflated dollars being used) – every dollar of it that is taken from us is taken by force and theft because we did not even have representation on this one. Not a single congressman or senator read this thing before it was RAMMED through the congress/senate (I’m referring of course to porkulus maximus right now) so not only is this theft, it’s theft without representation and how you or anyone can call that investment? Is insane. It’s the opposite of investment. It’s devestment. And it’s designed to destroy an economy, not help it.
