how many of you have actually read "the audacity of hope"
it's a good book and a good read- he has a good heart but the problem is his ideas are not capable of realization without RADICAL means. while he really does want everyone to be healthy and happy he doesn't want to be a bully to get it done... so he just blames the institutions that don't bend over backwards to support dead weight citizens. I honestly think that he doesn't realize that if he breaks the establishment, he cannot build a better one from the pieces. THAT IS THE WRONG OF SOCIALISM- he thinks that by tearing apart conventional society, he can remake it better. he doesn't realize that the powerful people he is drawing support from will not have it. they'll corrupt anything he attempts to do. all the welfare bums that voted for him won't ever pull their weight in a "utopian" society either. he cannot fathom the true fairness of SOCIAL DARWINISM. The man doesn't get it despite all the good he PROBABLY genuinely wishes for the world.... socialism is absolute power and will be absolutely corrupted by absolutely corrupt people. I think that he is a deconstructionist but not a power-monger. The problem for him is that the NWO supporting him don't want him to succeed, they just want him to be the smiling face distracting americans while NWO commences massive back-stabbing. also obama has no balls. while he is a "warm" person that might be interesting to meet in person and talk to, he isn't really much of a statesman. remember that he made his living by basically catering to the poor and needy- people that cried about discrimination and the "horrors" of the real world- which he never lived in- and he feels compelled by guilt to help them. he's feeling compelled to squander all of america's wealth to FIX the world and he's really going to try to do it- and all the left-wing nuts in congress are gonna keep pushing all his bs through in the most screwed up ways possible.
george bush wasn't that nutty! he just wanted to silently put some money away for his "buddies" and to do that he needed to feign compassionate conservatism to get public opinion on his side. also the stimulus checks shut people up too. obama isn't being slick, he's the most naive idealist to ever hold federal office- and a liar that's hard to read. bush wasn't self-conflicted like obama, he is the one that was actually slick.
read obama's book and you'll understand that he totally knows how to apply the "third way" but he doesn't seem to even slightly grasp how evil it is becoming. you have to personally understand teh third way though- PROGRESS that the progressives work for. it's both democrat and republican. research it and you'll understand him and his platform.
