May 4, 200917 yr So, what makes it true? Because a news agency that is not FOXNews reports "White House Denies Charge By Attorney that Administration Threatened to Destroy Investment Firm's Reputation" ? I can find articles about people that believe we didn't land on the moon, either. Apples and oranges, I know, but the point is, is that an article discussing the charge doesn't make the charge true. Thank you. Now the next time you or any other Obama supporter screams "its foxnews they are bias" I'll quote your post.
May 4, 200917 yr Did Obama not run as a centrist? Has he not governed as a hard core if not radical leftist? Where is the innacuracy of my assessment? And is not the government ownership of an automobile manufacturer Socialistic? The U.S. is terrifically right of center in terms of world economics. I think you need to read up up on hard core radical leftist before you can define him as such. Hard core radical leftist take companies outright. Chrysler and GM were on their deathbed, the government is propping them up. It is left of recent administrations, it is socialistic but not hardcore leftist nor would I say it is wrong. How blind are we to not notice that the greed of the free market and the lack of corporate responsibility to society initiated our problems. We got here by being to far right, we needed an adjustment.
May 4, 200917 yr Thank you. Now the next time you or any other Obama supporter screams "its foxnews they are bias" I'll quote your post. You are missing the point entirely. The article does not promote one view or the other. It discusses the claim and those that deny the claim. I can write an article about a neighbor of mine that claims that he has been abducted by aliens. That doesn't mean that I believe or disbelieve that he was abducted. FWIW, I am never one to decry FOXNews as I am a semi-regular of their reporting. You will not hear any "they are biased" claims from me.
May 4, 200917 yr "Socialism in America will come through the ballot box."-Gus Hall I am pretty sure that I used that quote or a similar one in a paper on socialism in college.
May 4, 200917 yr The Drudge Report today has 3 articles about Obama and American business. They all tell of how he and his socialist supporters are going to run and ruin America's economic way of life. !st is a threat to destroy an investment company because they did not play ball with Obama's view of the Chrysler bankrupcty. The 2nd story is of how Obama will deal with GM after the Chrysler situation is settled. The 3rd story is of how Wall Street is to be restricted. I know all of the socialist supporters will give dubois reasons for all these actions. But what is happening is that these people are trying to do is take over the American way of life, so they have all the power and try to give us so called economic justice. What it will do is to destroy incentive and we will all be equal, equally poorer for the Obama power grab. Sigh........another Obama bashing thread.:ohbrother:
May 4, 200917 yr Get used to it. Obama gives us plenty of amunition. Can't wait to "praise" his first Supreme Court nominee. I'm sure that just like Obama promised he or she will be a centrist.
May 4, 200917 yr The problem with that assessment is that even the center is the left to you. westsider, would you say the same about me if I was making the claim?
May 4, 200917 yr So...now I'm a socialist. :lol: Well, I'm going to have to figure out how to reconcile my new socialist title with some of my conservative beliefs. :ohbrother:

May 4, 200917 yr westsider, would you say the same about me if I was making the claim?No ... your views aren't as extreme as the poster I referenced.
May 4, 200917 yr Wow I'm an extremist. :dancingpa And just think I was a huge Bill Clinton supporter. But then I grew up and started living in the real world. What's really funny is based on people I know and interact with on a regular basis I would consider myself just left of center while many on here that I sure consider themselves fairly moderate I would consider hard core leftys that won't have any concerns about the direction this administration is taking this country until the gulags start opening.

Extreme may not be totally accurate, but the way you attack Obama on a regular basis certainly makes you look that way.

We got here by being to far right, we needed an adjustment. It would appear to me that you are right, this coming from a life long republican. People need to give Obama some time before judging him because the mess he inherited is huge, which was handed to him by someone I voted for.:sssh:
