Obama Takes Breath, Draws Criticism from Republicans

[racerx540]

Let me ask you a question Dave. Have you ever been employed with benefits, 401k, insurance and retirement by a poor man? You don't seem to understand that the rich make this country what it is. Don't attack the rich for making this country powerful and truly the land of opportunity.

[daveelderdotcom]

You''re really a top-down kind of guy, aren't you? I'm guessing you don't like the word "democracy" much... You really think opportunity comes from the rich? Most businesses are, and always were, started by middle class people -- Ford and GM are 2 examples I know well, but there are thousands of others. What companies have been started by rich people?

[racerx540]

Capitalism breeds socialism. The "have not's" always attack the "have's" in a capitalistic society. It quickly becomes a slippery slope towards socialism if not kept in check. We're moving towards a mixed economy right now but the pendulum inevitably swings back to capitalism. If we keep making new social programs we will soon run out of money and the taxpayers will have to pay higher taxes for the "have not's". That is the heart of socialism sir. Are you saying that Obama isn't a socialist?

[daveelderdotcom]

OK... You think we're in danger of running out of rich people? Really? You know that from 2001-2007 the top 1% increased their wealth by $700B, right? And I don't think Obama is a socialist, but I can't prove that, since it's a negative. You obviously think he is a socialist -- what do you base that on? And the "have nots" attacking the "haves" -- isn't that what Marx said? And does that make you a Marxist?

@daveelderdotcom General note to everyone out there, Socialism is not Communism and neither of them are the same thing as Marxist policy.

[daveelderdotcom]

@xaiomanga Right about that. And also, fascism is not the same thing as socialism, Communism or Marxist policy. Uh oh -- look out for all those Glenn Beck watchers with their heads exploding!

[daveelderdotcom]

They exist simply to serve the selfish ultra-wealthy and screw everyone else.

[racerx540]

You sir are a waste of air. A sick, Liberal puppy with a runt of a mind. If you had a clue of how ignorant you sound you would go bury your head in the sand with Obama.

[daveelderdotcom]

Your argument that I sound ignorant is based on my having a different point of view from you? Do I have that right?

[racerx540]

I listen with an unbiased ear bro. I watched your video and listened to your rendition of what just played. You're obviously not seeing or hearing what's there with a clear mind. Yes, I'm angry and full of insults because capitalism and big business made this country great. NOT the liberal, social system, welfare lovers who are now ruining this great country. It's not an insult. It's reality. Read your history books... or be doomed to repeat past failures of Marxism, Socialism and Communism.

[daveelderdotcom]

So what you're saying is that Obama is a socialist? Or a Marxist? Or a Communist? Which one is it? Do you know the difference between these 3, or do you think they're the same? If so, you might want to check out a dictionary before saying anything further...

[daveelderdotcom]

Still waiting for a reply on the last one... I hope I didn't scare you off by suggesting that maybe you open up a dictionary, but if you don't know the meaning of the words you use, it seems like you don't know what you're talking about, doesn't it?

[loonmaniac]

I'd like to see Bachmann do a 69 with Sarah Palin.

[daveelderdotcom]

Bachmann and Palin? That would be really funny! And who knows? The Republicans are masters of irony, if nothing else, and I hear that D.C. is quite a gay place...

[drummerroy39]

What a clueless idiot! You have the intelligence of a sea slug. Another Kool aid drinking, Liberal. Whos brains are so far up Obamas ass. if he stopped short they would have to surgically remove you from his ass.

[daveelderdotcom]

Speaking of intelligence, I'm waiting for an intelligent comment from a right-winger -- one that isn't just anger and insults. Still waiting...
