Obama and our government have hurt me, not helped me, every step of the way

By Wayne Allyn Root in Fox News  
"I was President Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University, Class of '83. Almost every one of my classmates were openly socialist or Marxist, with many of these leftist radicals calling for an end to capitalism and “bringing down the system” by destroying the U.S. economy with entitlements, debt, and crisis.
"That’s why I have predicted in thousands of media interviews from the first days of Obama's presidency that Obama is a radical, with a deep-seated hatred of business owners, a desire to demonize us and destroy America’s faith in capitalism, and a plan to bring down the system by overwhelming our economy with debt and crisis -- just as we all learned and discussed at Columbia in our college days.
"Well, it’s no longer a theory. Obama has decided to come clean with his plans for a second term. In a matter of 48 hours he gave us two hints so big you couldn’t miss his intentions." Read more...

Video: Bill Whittle on Obama’s Greatest “Successes”

Via Nice Deb; Bill Whittle’s run down of  Bam’s greatest hits is devastating, and barely scratches the surface, but as Whittle says in the YouTube, comments, “There is only so much room on the internet, Wiz.”

So, how do we explain THIS?  "This race is not moving at all in any direction at the moment.  The stasis helps the challenger in providing time to gather his financial strength.  The attacks on character don’t seem to be having any real impact at all on the polling, which means that the election will almost certainly be decided on policy and as a referendum on the incumbent — and that’s definitely bad news for Obama."

What the Government Really Does for My Business

American Thinker  "The greater debt is owed by the president and his leviathan government to the taxpayers and businesses who fund his endless golf outings, Michelle's expensive vacations, and the utopian statist nightmare he has foisted on us. 
"Instead of belittling the efforts of business people he should be gratefully thanking them."

Calls to destroy Great Pyramids a hoax (but you can understand why it was believed)

The Moderate Voice

"UPDATE: The report we linked to and quote from below turns out to be from a website that fell victim to a hoax. And since we linked to the report about the report we did, too. First read our UPDATE HERE. Now read our original post which quotes the report:

"Some in Egypt are calling to destroy one of that country’s most enduring symbols — and tourist attractions:"...

City Orders Firefighters to Remove US Flags From Trucks – They’re Offensive

TheGatewayPundit  Two complaints? TWO

Florida fire fighters say the city apparently got two complaints about American flags being flown from fire trucks.The flags were not a safety issue, and they were not tattered or torn. But when the complains came the flags were gone.A dozen demonstrators stood outside a Seminole fire station waving American flags Sunday. They say they were there because fire fighters were banned from flying old glory on their trucks.A spokeswoman for Seminole Fire Rescue said the city is trying to be sensitive about the proper display of the American flag.Someone allegedly complained to the city about a large American flag being flown from the back of a ladder truck.

'And what do you know?': Business leaders hit back at Obama after he says the wealthy AREN'T responsible for their own success/ Krauthammer comments on this

UK Daily Mail   "In a hard-hitting statement to Mail Online, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) president Dan Danne said: 'What a disappointment to hear President Obama's revealing comments challenging the significance of America's entrepreneurs.

Mr Danne added: 'His unfortunate remarks over the weekend show an utter lack of understanding and appreciation for the people who take a huge personal risk and work endless hours to start a business and create jobs.' "

...."As President Obama comes under scrutiny for remarks that he made about entrepreneurs over the weekend, it's not surprising to many that the president has never served in a leadership level at any private sector job.

"The president has held a number of jobs since the late 1980s, including editor, writer and professor before getting into politics. 

"But questions have been raised about Obama's lack of business experience as the U.S. struggles with a high joblessness rate and a frail economy.

"It was a point that Obama's political foes were quick to exploit in their attacks on Monday."

NRO; Obama against the Self-Made Man  The president would socialize success.
"There are few phrases that President Obama likes less than “on your own.” He considers it a lie when people think they’ve made it on their own, and he thinks that the most damning thing that can be said about the Republican vision is that it will leave people on their own. For him, “we’re in this together,” and the inspiring institution embodying that togetherness is none other than the Internal Revenue Service." Rich Lowry

Krauthammer’s Epic Takedown of Obama’s Elizabeth Warren Impersonation

How can so many idiots continue to like this man?

Our Politics of Polarization

RealClearPolitics  "As his campaign threw out unsubstantiated charges that Mitt Romney might be guilty of a felony, and then mocked Romney's off-key singing of "America the Beautiful," President Obama took a moment to reflect on the sad state of America's political tone. "Washington feels as broken as it did four years ago," he explained. "And if you ask me what is the one thing that has frustrated me most over the last four years, it's not the hard work. It's not the enormity of the decisions. It's not the pace. It is that I haven't been able to change the atmosphere here in Washington to reflect the decency and common sense of ordinary people." "

...."These are not excesses; they are the essence of Obama's current political strategy. He is attempting to destroy Romney before Romney can define himself, while using a series of issues -- the mini-DREAM Act, voting rights and contraceptive controversies -- to excite his base. The approach is not politically irrational. But it is premised on the avoidance of issues such as unemployment and the deficit."

Jennifer Rubin; Facts just get in the way of the Bain meme
"The Obama team itself backpedaled a bit on Sunday regarding its accusation of illegality. It was, among all the accusations thrown at Romney, the most reprehensible."....
"But of course, Obama and his hacks don’t actually believe the charge to be true. There is nothing this president won’t say or do — unilaterally amend laws, scrap the most successful social reform in generations (welfare reform), threaten “devastating” cuts in national security or threaten to take the country over the fiscal cliff — to get reelected."

Obama Revealed

From Townhall  "So … small businessman! How does that sit with you? You took your money and put it at risk. You worked perhaps as many as 80 hours a week to get things running. You had your ups and downs, but you persevered. Vacations? Are you kidding? .... You employ perhaps a dozen people or so. You take vacations now. You might even have a vacation time-share on the coast. You just bought a new car for the first time in your life. You’re thinking that you’ve done pretty good chasing that American dream, and you’re justifiably proud of yourself. Then along comes Barack Obama to tell you that this business you sweated over for so many years? Well … you didn’t build that."  Neal Boortz


The perfect companion to the above article from hopenchange

....To help illustrate this point for his supporters, the president then related the story of "The Greedy Little Capitalist Hen," in which a chicken plants a grain, waters the grain, tends the grain, harvests the grain, mills the grain, then makes it into bread with no help from the other lazy farm animals.
When they smell the delicious fresh-baked bread, they want to eat it - but the greedy capitalist hen says, "No. None of you did any of the work!" 
So the angry animals elect a leader who points out that the greedy capitalist hen didn't create the grain, or the soil, or the water by herself - and then says the lazy animals should not onlyget the bread, they should use it to make chicken sandwiches. And they all eat happily ever after!

The moral of the story: Get the chicken to pay for your healthcare
BEFORE you kill her and eat her bread.

What Has Obama Cost Blacks? A Columbia Professor Asks Hard Questions

Daily Beast  "Have blacks been giving President Obama a pass on his shortcomings? That’s the argument of Columbia University professor Fredrick C. Harris’s new book,The Price of the Ticket: Barack Obama and the Rise and Decline of Black Politics. Harris takes an unvarnished, unflinching—and some would say unflattering—look at the current state of black politics in America through the lens of Obama’s ascendancy to the White House."
...."This forthright book has a purpose: to put Obama on notice that he has a debt to pay, and that his black constituency deserves and expects payment-in-full during his second term. Fair is fair."

Obama And NAACP Pervert Civil Rights To Advance Gay Agenda

CNS  "The mainstream “progressive” media created a stir about the NAACP crowd booing Mitt Romney at the decidedly liberal group’s national convention in Houston, Texas. The activist attendees didn’t like the fact that President Obama’s presumptive GOP challenger intends to repeal Obamacare if elected.

"Still, what you won’t hear from the mainstream media is the fact that those very same left-leaning activists gave Mr. Romney a rousing ovation when he pledged to defend the institution of real marriage from secular extremists’ ongoing attempts to radically re-define it." ....

...http://www.reallygoodfriend.com/images/gay_marriage_cartoon_01.jpg.

"Ken Hutcherson, an influential black pastor from the Seattle area, put it well: “It has been said loudly and proudly that gay marriage is a civil rights issue. If that’s the case, then gays would be the new African-Americans. I’m here to tell you now, and hopefully for the last time, that the gay community is not the new African-American community.

" “Don’t compare your sin to my skin!” he demands."

Obama; our demagogue-in-chief

How much damage will this man do to America's institutions and way of life if given another four years?
 Roger Kimball; Barracking Your Way to the Top  "It is one of the curiosities of language that the transitive verb “barrack” (chiefly British, origin unknown) means to “shout or jeer at.” For that is precisely what our Barack, the one now occupying the White House, has descended to in his campaign against Mitt Romney."


PowerLine; Can a Candidate Lie His Way to the Presidency?   "The Obama campaign’s current Bain Capital smear, which many media outlets have taken up, ranks with Quemoy, Matsu and Checkers as absurd campaign “issues.” But it is all that a flailing, out-of-ammo campaign has to offer. Michael Ramirez comments:"

Channeling Elizabeth Warren: Heritage; Obama Tells Entrepreneurs “You Didn’t Build” Your Business  "It is this view of successful businesses—essentially, “You owe us”—that drives Obama’s continued attacks on the country’s job creators in the form of tax hikes and regulations."  This is the logical outcome of Obama's philosophy


American Thinker symposium; 'Somebody else made that happen' - a symposium (updated)  "In chiding and insulting the rich, telling them that they "didn't get there on (their) own," the President has moved the economic debate as framed by his campaign and his Presidency to a new kindergarten intellectual low.  It really takes talent to shoehorn this much ignorance and hate and misplaced anger into such few words.  And yet he did."


Boortz: Obummer's Class Warfare Continues  "A few questions for Dear Ruler ..

• When was the last time you went to a poor person to get a job?

• How does the government “spend” money on tax cuts unless it believes that the money belongs to the government and not the people who earn it?

• Who said anything about gutting education?  Just because education isn’t administered by the government doesn’t mean that you are against education.

• Please explain to me how you “raise middle-class taxes” by wanting all the current tax rates to be extended?  Only ObamaLogic could make sense of that one.

 Why the Democrats Want to Turn Bain Capital into Bane Capital  "CNN answers the question partway, in its debunking of the Big Bain Lie. It’s worth noting that most of CNN’s sources in this piece are Democrats from Bain. They’re very familiar with the timeline, and they all say that the Obama campaign is full of bovine waste."
