So far government control of Banks, Insurance Companies,Autos, Cap and Trade, Health Care, talk of controlling Talk Radio and Fox news, control of CEO pay and now today talk of government control of the Internet.

oh sorry...sources...CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, NPR, LA Times, Washington Post, PBS, Boston Globe, Air America, Huffington Post, Media Matters, Democrat Underground and The Daily Kos.....OK???


JD...or just pretend that it's from a source that you disapprove of and you can dismiss it all in your own head...

aside from "no bailout for banks" is there anything that you would argue with regarding Obama?

I would argue that the bank bailout is less a bailout and more a way to nationalize the banking system ultimately as well as the financial sector...at the very least exert tremendous control over them..

[stcroixman]

Next year is pension reform! Cash out now while there is something left.

[Joe]

Between the war with Fox News, and the recent campaign appearances for dem candidates, I'd say a big part of the agenda is the destruction of the opposition.

[JohnnyD]

I heard the Illuminati actually controls the overall climate in order to further their secret, 200 year agenda to take over the world and form a New World Order.

The term "narcissistic rage" gets 26,000 citations in Google Scholar. It is a common feature of extreme or pathological narcissism.
While most people are pretty hard to predict, extreme narcissists are comparatively simple. They constantly hunger for ego gratification, they are immature, constantly need to demonstrate their own superiority, are manipulative, constant liars and they deal with frustration by uncontrollable fits of rage.

Randomly lashing out at and mischaracterizing and impuning anyone that disagrees with or is disagreeable to them... like say Fox News, Tea Party attendees, Cambridge Police, "Neocons", people that cling to their guns and Bibles, talk radio, Humana, the list is quite long in just 9 months.....the "thinness" of the skin is stunning....

According to the New York Times,

"Speaking privately at the White House on Monday with a group of columnists and commentators, including Rachel S. Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times,

President Obama himself gave vent to sentiments about the (Fox) network, according to people briefed on the conversation... " (italics added).

US News and World Report wrote:

Team Obama was pushed over the brink by a growing list of what it considered outrageous anti-Obama conduct by Fox that showed no sign of stopping. Obama's advisers say that they seethed while Fox commentators used their shows to encourage protests against Obama's healthcare proposals last summer. Team Obama fumed as Fox personalities tried to pressure some controversial Obama advisers to resign.

In the first nine months in office President Obama and/or members of his administration have accused doctors of performing unnecessary medical procedures for profit; demonized bond holders as ‘speculators'; produced a report suggesting military veterans are prone to becoming right wing extremists; attacked insurance companies and threatened them with legislative retribution; ridiculed talk show hosts and political commentators by name from the White House podium; dismissed and demeaned protesters and town hall attendees as either unauthentic or fringe characters; maligned a white police officer for arresting a black man without knowing the facts of the case; launched an orchestrated campaign to marginalize the country's biggest pro-business group; and publicly declared war on a news organization.

whatever this President's "real" agenda, he proven himself to be a thug and anything but "Presidential" in his actions and in so many ways....but, hey...he's got three more years to try to improve.....
