[Hoot Gibson]

You don't see to recognize the business cycle is just that: a cycle. You don't seem to acknowledge that we are currently fighting two "wars," with no call to the American people for sacrifice, which is, in these egocentric times, way out of fashion. I never really blamed Bush for the economic downturn, as the economy and all the machinations therein are far more complex than, "Blame the President." However, an ignorant populace needs a scapegoat... always have, always will. You seem to believe that I am defending Barack Obama's Presidency. I am not. I am suggesting that you may not agree with his economic policies, which is fine. But, calling him a "socialist" every day, every week, every month for a year and a half is disgraceful. Read Wealth of Nations and put up or shut up.

Calling this president a capitalist every day, every week, every month for a year, ignoring his assault on the private sector is disgraceful. I would have much more respect for you if you simply defended Obama's brand of socialism for what it is. If I want to understand Obama better, I will be reading titles by Alinsky and Marx. :lmao:
