Regardless of whether or not Obama and his administration will be able to bail the nation out of the disastrous mess created by Bush and the AMERICAN
PEOPLE in time, comparing him to dictator Fidel Castro is just disgusting. I said when he took office, it wouldn't take people 6 months to sink to
the lowest depths to speak out against him. I guess I was wrong... it look a lot less time than that.
You people have no idea what a real dictatorship is... as you speak your mind freely on this board. The fact that you can compare Obama to Castro
without repercussions proves you are dead wrong.
I'd ask you to give them a chance, but I know it falls on deaf ears. He isn't your party, I get it. It's your patriotic duty to slam, berate,
ridicule, and hate the President at all turns, because he isn't your ideal leader. And now, he is a dictator?
I honestly don't know why some of you folks are not in office, making things better. You are all so incredibly brilliant, clever, smarter than the
average Joe Sheep... you obviously would cure all our nations ills in 2 months! Why are you not there? How baffling.
Really? you think that me being born in a Communist dictatorship, and growing up in a Communist dictatorship that I don't know what a dictatorship
is?......
BTW, in case you didn't know. The current problem ocurred in great part thanks to the housing buble... It was during Clinton's administration that
Clinton decided to sign the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, thereby voiding the safeguards that were set up in 1933 to avoid another great
depression, and which allowed banks, commercial banks, and insurance companies to give loans to people THAT COULD NOT AFFORD TO PAY THEM BACK....
You can also thank Democrat Woodrow Wilson for giving private bankers control over U.S. currency when he signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913...
This act also helped to indebt our nation, and businesses....
It was also thanks to Democrat president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt who outlawed the possesion of gold by U.S. citizens, and trapped all generations
of Americans to a paper economy, puting all generations of Americans even more into the hands of private bankers, and allowing for our economy to be
based on nothing more than paper, backed by empty promises from bankers...
The current economic crisis started a long time ago...and yes even Republican presidents made many mistakes which should have never been done, but the
real perpetrators of the current economic crisis have been Democrats...
As for you claiming that Obama is no dictator...in a way he is not exactly the same as some dictators such as castro, YET, but then again what do you
call his programs to make requirements of all Americans to do Community Service whether they want to or not?.... That is the making of a
dictator...
Then we also have our own Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, telling the Chinese government and the whole world that no Human Right is more
important than any crisis created by governments....
Oh, and who is to forget Emmanuel Rahm's statement that and I quote "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, and what I mean by that is an
opportunity to do things that you didn't think you could do before."....
We might not be in a full dictatorship yet, but we seem to be on our way to one....
BTW, it doesn't matter if Obama and Emmanuel Rahm want for ALL Americans to do 50-100 hours of Community service each year, starting from junior high
and up...even if the "REQUIREMENT" was only one hour a year, it is still a MANDATORY plan, meaning YOU HAVE NO CHOICE....
