Some believe that Soros and his underling Obama are purposely running down the country with an agenda.

Read this wiki and think about it:

Would you buy a used car from this guy? Without the pre-written scripts and teleprompter, this man sounds terrible. He spends alot of time talking about fixing infrastructure but where is the money going to come from?...more spending derived from less services and more taxes of course.

the intel says that this guy is totally disconnected from everything.  Has no interest whatsoever in actually being President, just wearing the AF1 jacket and riding in the plane.

He has no clue about any of this as he has never prepared, knows nothing, and wants to know nothing.

Look at his academic career.  At every point, people took care of shit for him because they needed him around to assuage their jew-sourced whitey guilt.  He's had his ass kissed at every turn by nearly everyone.  So in his mind all the details and all that shit are for other people; it's always been taken care of before, even his opposition in certain political races.

The guy is the archetypical empty suit, popup President, Teddy Ruxpin.  And he WANTS to be.  Those who thought Raygun was a suit; Bama is Raygun squared.  He reads a script and much like most actors, he's a COMPLETELY different person when the script is off.  Take Morgan Freeman for example, whom everybody assumes is deep and wise and highly intelligent as he plays the scientist in this role and the sage in that role and narrates shit even on Science Channel about the Universe.  In real life he's a stuttering DRUNK who banged his step-granddaughter.

Nobody has a clue who the real Obama really is...from the whisper reports, he's a chainsmoking, coke snorting queer.  Does anybody remember this guy from any point in his life?  Nobody knows nuffins.

I would be interested to hear some comments about Cloward Piven strategy and the Soros link with Obama's regime.

In the meantime, enjoy this photo of your wide eyed president.

Obama apparently doesn't understand or care what being broke means which is how he can dramatically increase the deficit and debt. We as a country are broke and health care is NOT a right per the US Constitution. Not a dime of additional taxes should go toward this unconstitutional, bankrupt, promoter of fraud, failure, tyranny, welfare and Goldman Sachs we call federal governemnt - cut spending, salaries, programs until it is constitutional and in the black, then cut spending more and taxes more!!!

His campaign/budget plan - ponzi scheme - of lies, propaganda and disinformation paid for by tax dollars through the stimulus bill and laundered through public union dues and Goldman Sachs (and other financial institution cronies).

2012 should be a vote against - son of Gaddafi - Obama with his record of lies, failure, coruption and usurpations, but why wait, as every day he is in office he drags this country down further into the depths of failure, impeach today.

Wake up from the complacent/apathetic slumber, show some concern and respect for this country and get off your a_ses and have some moral courage and remove this megalomaniac, failure from office before it is too late - NOW!!!

If this football continues to be punted down the field. Best be prepared for run-away inflation and total economic collapse- as millions will be pushed into poverty in just a few short years.

What a nightmare!

Thanks,

already aware of Cloward and Piven... has merit, but I believe the conspiracy is far deeper involving the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve and Bank of England.

Suppose it's fun to join the herd and take pot shots... there are serious choices here on policies that will profoundly affect you, your family, and future generations. You may want to listen and make an informed choice... unfortunately, choice between two evils are sometimes necessary, and have consequences that affect your basic rights... the fun and games are over.

The level of distain and division in the current political climate is breathtaking... thank you Glenn (and the rest of FOX), Rush, Karl, Sarah, the Tea Party (and the Koch Brother supporters)... unfortunately it works all too well (amazes me how most of the supporters can't see they are the eventual losers), they've got the ball now, and your future well being (unless you're in the $250K + "I'm alright Jack" camp) is hanging in the balance. You may want to make a serious review of the game plans... many of the proposed policies are game changers and, like it or not, choices must and will be made.

Indeed. And I believe the sum issues of our state have resulted from the people no longer being interested in controlling their own quality. Why buy the cow when you can slaughter it and pick over the remains for free?

no matter what, the black vote will go to obama. that is the way it is. nobody even knew who he was , yet they voted for him. americans are so stupid, it it beyond comprehension. this is why i think there will be no problem that this moron gets elected one more time. if you think the trips and the basketball games and the gay sex and the wednesday night parties will only be a downpayment for his last 4 years. all of it designed to embarass this country and its people.

Obama is a committed marxist who is redistributing everybody's money through unbridled spending and inflation. Any talk by Obama of deficit reduction is pure deception. The shabby secret of the welfare state is the confiscation of wealth through deficit spending and inflation.

He is the Saudi Arabia of deficit spending and wealth confiscation from the middle class.

Obama is a real piece of garbage, but he's no Marxist. Would that he had more socialist leanings in that regard; but alas, Americans have NEVER studied "DAS CAPITAL" anymore any more than they read actual American writers such as Howard Zinn, David Halberstam, Kevin Phillips, Gore Vidal, Greg Palast, Chris Hedges, Lewis Lapham, etc.  Unless and until the "sheeple" "consumers" and all of the other names by which banksters and politicians refer to the people whose money they are stealing wake up - and believe you me, they never will awake - the emperor will have no clothes. I have repeatedly tried to explain to individuals that prices are not going up, the dollar is falling and that this is the way in which higher prices manifest themselves. The dollar simply will not purchase, comparatively, what it did even just six months ago. There is no hope whatever that sheeple are going to get it; until they get it right up the ol' shute. It is clear that the USA is a Banana Republic in the making. And you know you gotta just love those War Profiteers! I'm quite surprised that Jerry Bruckheimer hasn't made a romantic comedy feature starring the War Profiteers - as the protaganist, of course.
