Obama does NOT KNOW the difference between Keynesian and Smith economics or what Milton Friedmon says about economics! All Obama knows is Saul Alinksky's Rukles for Radicals, Marx, Engel, Lenin, Mao and Stalin! I almost forgot Obama also admires Hitler! However, Obama is a Kenyan and he does KNOW this!

I was going to make the same point...that Oba-Mao doesn't have any economic principles other than what devolves from his political philosophy. And he doesn't have any set political model, but a mishmash of tenets that he uses to try and fit within the structure of the Constitution. He's not totally stupid; he tries to stay within that framework, perverting what the Constitution doesn't specifically disallow and pushing what is legal and works to his advantage as far as is allowed. As far as his governing style, it appears that he sees the presidency as an elective monarchy. He acts as if he is authorized to rule as he wishes until, within far-flung limits. Congress and the Supreme Court are treated like relics from another time, nothing more than ornamental bodies that should be seen and not heard. It infuriates him when they actually use their authority to check his own. His so-called mandate is expressed in his two word sentence symbolic of his arrogant view of the power of the president - 'I won."

The main point, though, is that he can't be bothered with the philosophies of others...he creates his own economic philosophy as he goes along.

that should be "until the next presidential election, within far-flung limits". Sorry...

Well I don't know about you, but I firmly believe that Obama was born in John Maynard, Massachusettes. (Giggle)

OMG, they think Keynesian, which represents an economic point of view, means someone from Kenya. There you go.

I'm sure this is a typo. Didn't you mean to say "Kenyan"?

LOL, it sure doesn't take much to expose the Obama Zombies for the utterly clueless brain dead people that they are. That woman going crazy about his being born in Hawaii made me laugh hysterically.

Obama is more of a Karl Marxian...Like his Mommy , Daddy , Grandparents , his Mentors Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall , Farrakhan, his Marxist Professors in College.., The Black Caucus..his SDS fellow members ..and all the other Commies he associated with since the age of 12...The only difference between B.O. and Hugo Chavez is he's lean and plays Basketball...Oh and he was neutered by Michelle...those cahone's hanging from her car's rear bumper are real..!

Brilliant.

It actually took me a bit to realize what the smug ignoramuses were thinking Keynesian could mean - other than Keynesian. ("Ke-NEY-sian" was my fave.)

And the hostility of the loudest one was a laff riot. I *so* hope she eventually sees this.
Or even better that she hears the word later, learns its meaning, and realizes, "Oh, cr*p. And I ranted for that guy ON CAMERA."

At least one guy knew what Keynesian meant.
Well, sort of, since he obviously didn't know if Obama could be one or not.
"I'd have to see more" was it?
Like he hasn't had enough evidence yet?

Looking forward to the news tonight....
