CNN/Opinion Research Corp. is a “right wing blog”?

And Muslims must be awfully stupid if they can be tricked into conducting suicide attacks by mere Jooos. Just sayin’.

And Roosevelt was elected again. By a huge margin. By folks who thought of him as the Father-figure of the Country.

But he was charming!

No, the People won’t learn jack. See this, from Art Diamond’s blog.

“Henry Morgenthau, Jr. was FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury from 1934-1945. In the following important quote, he admits that the big New Deal stimulus spending programs had failed.

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more money than we have ever spent before and it does not work.

. . . I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job, I want to see people get enough to eat.

We have never made good on our promises. . . . I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started . . . . And an enormous debt to boot!

Burton W. Folsom, Jr. In New Deal or Raw Deal? How FDR’s Economic Legacy Has Damaged America. 4th ed. New York: Threshold Editions, 2008.

(Note: ellipses in Folsum’s version of the quotation.)

Folsum says that this statement was from testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee in May 1939; and can be found in Morgenthau’s Diary entry for May 9, 1939 at the Roosevelt Presidential Library.”

Baklava,

Thanks for posting that graph link. I’m spreading it around. No wonder we have a President and his cronies who only believe in big government. The only thing they’ve collectively ever done in their entire lives is suck at the Government’s teat.

It is a tell.

Promethea, What does ∅bama value?

His words often indicate what he believes and thinks. Many choose not to listen…

It was apparent to me from the campaign days even before the “spread the wealth” comment when he was talking about American oil company profits of 25 billion and government taking those profits.

Oil companies have been demonized so that nobody wanted to defend such a “taking”. Nevermind that these are American companies competing against foreign oil companies – investing in alternative fuels and making a paltry profit compared to other sectors.

Amazing graph, Baklava.

Only 8% of Obama’s cabinet has ever worked in the private sector. Not much business experience there.

The decision on trying KSM in civil court is based on Obama looking good to the rest of the world, which also means making Bush/Cheney look bad. The safety and security of Americans comes last for BO and Holder.

BTW When I called the AJ’s office, a live person answered my call. However, when I told her that I was calling about the KSM decision, she immediately transferred me to voice mail.

I agree with the comments on Obama’s rootlessness based upon his childhood experiences. I believe he also has daddy separation issues times 2. Throw affirmative-action advancement into the mix, and you end up with a narcissist sociopath. Because he has not been held to any sort of standard, along with his ‘ideas’ never being questioned or his having to defend them in a serious rational manner, in his mind he can do no wrong, and nobody can tell him otherwise. He is the great “I won!”
