I have grown weary of pretending that Barack Obama has anything but disdain for the United States of America. So let us ask the question on all of our minds: Are the actions of this president those of a man committed to what is best for his country?
With small business, the engine of our economy, on the ropes, Obama and his myrmidons in Congress are trying to ram through a health care reform bill that will, in the words of Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, bring about our "fiscal ruin." Is this the action of a president committed to doing what is best for his country?
Obama continues to push his "Cap and Trade" legislation, with all the taxes, fees, energy price increases and restrictions on freedom that inevitably accompany it, on the strength of junk science that is being discredited every day. A growing number of reputable scientists are expressing doubt that global warming even exists, and recently a hacker or a whistleblower made public thousands of insider e-mails showing that climate change advocates know the whole thing is a scam. Yet the president intends to go to the Copenhagen climate conference and pretend that none of this ever happened. Is this the action of a president committed to doing what is best for his country?

Typical response.
"I don't know what it is (So i can't say as though rather or not its true) but since it's bad about Obama - I AGREE!!"
Nice logic.
Way to Deny Ignorance.

okay then, allow me to hold your hand and gently walk you through this step by step
someone asks you:
are these the actions of a president who loves his country..?
and you say
I dont know what you asked, but i answer NO to all of them
i dont know how many questions you asked = i dont know what you asked
you cannot know the content unless you know the amount - its very simple.
So since you dont know the questions involved, but you still answer "NO" to all of them, as in "No, these are not the actions of someone who loves his country"
Then i say to you again - Stop acting silly. Grow up. Deny Ignorance.

"Stansberry: Detroit's socialist nightmare is America's future"
The likelihood America will become a giant Detroit is growing – rapidly. Politicians now control the banking sector, most of the manufacturing sector (including autos), a large amount of media, and are threatening to take over health care and the production of electricity (via cap and trade rules).
[...]
Every single mayor of Detroit since 1961 has been a Democrat. Every single mayor of Detroit since 1974 has been black.
Detroit has been a major recipient of every major social program since the early 1960s and has received hundreds of billions of dollars in government grants, loans, and programs.
We now have a black, Democrat president, who is promising to do to America as a whole what his political mentors have done to Detroit. ...
. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.
Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels."
—Richard Alan Nelson, A Chronology and Glossary of Propaganda
loaded messages to produce an emotional response to the information presented

the underlined emphasis in the 1st paragraph is my doing to point out what Pres. Obamas is influencing right now.
Pres. BHO, was brought up socialist, & went on to become a 'neighborhood activist' --all underwritten by all sorts of efforts from 'the GreatSociety', which was bolstered & given new life from its justified demise by the Affirmative Action blather...
then the PoliticalCorrectness mantra that stymies all reasonable thought and action (such as 'Profiling' be it child molestors or terrorists)...
The outlandish P.C. in concert with the myraid of handout programs like mandantory breakfasts/lunches then after-school programs, then midnight-basketball etc etc
-> all devised so that gov't would provide (free of charge) ~ 18 hrs of babysitting/daycare/in-loco-parentis care for 25% of the society that never got their repairations...
its my view, that Obama's self-styled mission is to provide the promised "40 acres & a mule" , in a 21st century context.
and Detroit is a model the Pres. is familiar with.
