Obama's search for an enemy. Who is next?

Quote from glennku:

He hasn't called anyone an "evildoer" or denounced an "axis of evil." But make no mistake: President Obama is putting together an enemies list.

Another scumbag repuke who can't trade shit so he creates another utterly bullshit post to amuse his RWN wackos. What a fucking lowlife!

Hey, mod, move this damn thread to chit-chat.
 
President Clueless is a delustional dreamer.....he is totally unable to deal with the facts that are on the table....

He has never been responsible for anything....he is without a doubt the most unqualified President to be elected in out lifetime...

Sure, we need another Bush...a man who claimed God told him to invade Iraq (That's pretty damn certain Moses) and who was nearly always certain of his positions...

Where did that kind of certainty get us?

Heck, I recall some dude named Adolph who was pretty darn certain during uncertain times.

It is called fascism...certainty in uncertain times...and yes, it does work for a while...

Obama showing a complete lack of leadership. Pelosi, Reid, Frank and the rest of the radical left in congress are running the show. It cannot be denied by anyone with even the slightest degree of intellectual honesty.

Strangely, though, those on it are not terrorists or foreign dictators. They are mostly Americans lucky enough to have succeeded through capitalism and democracy.

In the President's words, they are guilty of being "special interests" and "lobbyists." The Bush-era tax cuts were merely "an excuse to transfer wealth to the wealthy" and he will bring fairness by raising taxes on "the wealthiest 2% of Americans."

First he demonizes them, then he taxes them.

It was a telling moment, for the markets on his watch have moved almost exclusively down. And the 55 million households that hold mutual funds are watching their savings and retirements vanish in great gobs.

Most are decidedly middle class, making them collateral damage of this war.

Obama himself remains popular, largely because of his charisma and because most people agree he inherited the problem. With staggering job losses and an unemployment rate now at 8.1%, the highest in 25 years, many Americans are hopeful our new President can right the ship and punish those responsible.

But Obama has expressed little interest in prosecuting those who cooked the books to make billions and undermined the financial system. Nor is he interested in rebuking Congress, including leading members of his own party, who fostered destructive lending and borrowing policies. He seems comfortable with his aides, including those who saw nothing amiss in their former roles as Wall Street players and regulators.

Instead, Obama's class-war language, most of it written into prepared speeches, looks like selective anger, calculated to stoke public emotion to build support for his expansive agenda. That agenda, which revolves around a dramatic increase in Washington power, relies on tax hikes on the same successful businesses and individuals he denounces.

And always, he makes liberal use of bogeymen. On Friday, as he stood before a class of 25 police cadets in Columbus, Ohio, hired with federal stimulus money, the President delivered a standard attack line against unnamed dissenters. "They opposed the very notion that government has a role in ending the cycle of job loss at the heart of this recession," he said.

Actually, few if any critics advocated doing nothing. But never mind. Being President means you don't have to let the facts get in the way of a plan to divide and conquer.

Sometimes the targets are critics, including two TV commentators singled out by press secretary Robert Gibbs for faulting the President's bailout plans.

Sometimes the targets are Republicans, like conservative talker Rush Limbaugh, the focus of a plan led by chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to divide the GOP and score points with the Democratic base.

But the tone of the President's own attacks on industry and his spending and tax policies are increasingly worrying Wall Street and much of the business world. With the stock market reaching lows not seen in more than a decade, including a 20% drop since Inauguration Day, headlines like "Obama's bear market" are suddenly routine.

The President dismisses the growing perception he is adding to the economic pain. Asked about the markets, Obama waved them off as like a "tracking poll in politics" that "bobs up and down day to day."

If he wants any shot of being reelected he can't under any circumstances raise taxes.
