What do you guys think of this? Obviously sounds left biased but it's true that Obama has expanded defense spending heavily and adopted the Bush mantra of throwing money somewhere to solve issues.

Quote
The Democratic incumbent has surrounded himself with conservative advisors and key figures — many from previous administrations, and an unprecedented number from the Trilateral Commission. He also appointed a former Monsanto executive as Senior Advisor to the FDA. He has extended Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, presided over a spiralling rich-poor gap and sacrificed further American jobs with recent free trade deals.Trade union rights have also eroded under his watch. He has expanded Bush defence spending, droned civilians, failed to close Guantanamo, supported the NDAA which effectively legalises martial law, allowed drilling and adopted a soft-touch position towards the banks that is to the right of European Conservative leaders. We list these because many of Obama’s detractors absurdly portray him as either a radical liberal or a socialist, while his apologists, equally absurdly, continue to view him as a well-intentioned progressive, tragically thwarted by overwhelming pressures. 2008's yes-we-can chanters, dazzled by pigment rather than policy detail, forgot to ask can what? Between 1998 and the last election, Obama amassed $37.6million from the financial services industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. While 2008 presidential candidate Obama appeared to champion universal health care, his first choice for Secretary of Health was a man who had spent years lobbying on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry against that very concept. Hey! You don't promise a successful pub, and then appoint the Salvation Army to run it. This time around, the honey-tongued President makes populist references to economic justice, while simultaneously appointing as his new Chief of Staff a former Citigroup executive concerned with hedge funds that bet on the housing market to collapse. Obama poses something of a challenge to The Political Compass, because he's a man of so few fixed principles.

As outrageous as it may appear, civil libertarians and human rights supporters would have actually fared better under a Republican administration. Had a Bush or McCain presidency continued Guantanamo and introduced the NDAA, the Democratic Party would have howled from the rooftops. Under a Democratic administration, these far-reaching developments have received scant opposition and a disgraceful absence of mainstream media coverage.

The conspiracy theorists use the term neo-con to mean Jews who support Israel.


They hate Jews for being rich, for being poor, for being insular, for integrating, for being capitalist, for being communist, for being money lenders, for not lending money.... There is no rational reason for antisemitism... It is the force of Amalek.


I don't think Obama has prosecuted the war against Terror as a Republican would have. The shame that the intelligence agencies cannot even identify the ideology {Islam} which drives the terrorists of today. It is a fact that most terrorism in the world is perpetrated by Islam, yet the CIA cannot teach about jihad ideology.


I have never heard of that site, and it is weird that there is no author listed for that article...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

This is leftist propoganda. leftists who are starting to see Obama's popularity drop, so they are saying that he is in fact a conservative jew lover... and not a TRUE liberal.

The truth is the exact opposite

Obama has been the most partisan president ever.....  he is on the left on every possible issue, and has NEVER had bipartisan support for ANYTHING.

contrast this with W. Bush, who DID have bipartisan support for much of what he did, INCLUDING his wars.

The term "neo-conservative" doesn't mean Jews. I know morons like Alex Jones might use it like that but this term is coming from me, so I don't mean Jews obviously since I am a Jew, I mean politicians that support an increase in federal defense spending and becoming the world police.

They do not list Hitler as Right Wing. He is a Center-Authoritarian. The site speaks from the center usually but it is to the Left of me heavily which is why I'm sort so skeptical.

Since Obama has held office over the highest military spending we've ever have, shouldn't he be called out on that? He refuses to call them "Muslims", but he still throws money there? Why should we have to pay for his wars?

I just see so many parallels with Bush. Both Bush and Obama centralized the government, both of them increased spending for wild "defense" missions, and both are corporatists who loved the banks and bailouts.

Obama HAS started reducing Military spending, it just took him a while to institute it, and much of it wont take affect for a few years (2012-2014)


YES, bush has been bad when it comes to spending, but OBAMA is 10x WORSE!!!!!

Obama has tripled anual deficits.
