Here is a quote from Jimmie Walker from his stop on "The O'Reilly Factor" about President Obama..
JIMMIE WALKER: Barack Obama is more like a Tony Robbins type of guy. You
feel real good and you're happy and everything, and then you go home,
and you realize there's a foreclosure sign on your door. And you just
go: "Wait a minute. I just had this great meeting with this guy, and he
made me feel real good." And I don't think he's a bad guy. I don't think
he's a good guy for the job we have to do.

Here's the whole story..

    He is like a motivational speaker to some. I have never found him to be exciting, however, never understood the "wow" factor everyone attributes to this man. As for full of hot air? I find what he's blowing to be cold, very cold, and most of the time scary as hell what he is able to accomplish towards screwing up the USA.

    This is not fair to Tony Robbins. He doesn't claim to be anything other than a motivational speaker. Obama is the great Pretender, claiming to be a Leader, which he is not.

    Tony Robins made NLP appealing and accessible to the ordinary Joe. I think Robins has more on the ball, and is more relevant.

    He is a Long Legged Mac Daddy!

    "He had a gift for charismatic preaching and took it to black neighborhoods ...where he preached racial inclusion and gathered a mixed-race congregation.

    ... he already cut a considerable figure in radical circles for his message of apostolic, or divine, socialism-colorblind Communism wrapped in the transport of faith healing and racial inclusion.

    [He] was friends with other radical showmen and ideologues like Dennis Banks of the American Indian Movement, the implacable Communist Angela Davis, and her friends and acquaintances in the Black Panther Party led by Huey P. Newton, the very essence of lumpenproletariat insurrection.

    But lurking inside... was a malignant narcissism that made him unwilling to draw any boundary between his pliant followers and himself. He was a natural totalitarian, infected with totalitarianism's deepest creed. At the unstable point where utter belief in and obedience to the leader ceases, the end of the world begins.

    Spying for signs of disaffection, disloyalty, or violations of ...rules...was encouraged.

    One reason respect and reverence needed to be enforced so ferociously was the self-indulgent hypocrisy of ...his inner circle.

    He held all night rallies to extol socialism and inveigh against America.

    He once ranted, '[f]or socialism, for Communism, for black liberation, for oppressed liberation[.]

    Eavesdropping and surveillance were increased for everyone.

    In the United States, however, ... [he] lacked one thing that all successful despots need: total information.

    The man whom author George Russell is describing is Jim Jones, remembered for the Jonestown, Guyana mass suicide of Americans on November 18, 1978."

    Yet as I read this piece, there were certain chilling similarities to the 44th president of the United States that I could not shake off. Certainly it was Obama's charisma, not his record that had people swooning before him and claiming as Chris Matthew did:

    "I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event. He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country."

    Not that there is any real difference between the Cripts and the Bloods, for two years the Republicans were a mute point. In those two years everyone could see Sanity oozing out of the ground, washing up on the beeches, carried by the wind to the 4 corners of the planet. So much so that the Dem's lost their majority in the House.

    I wish you had a cause when Clinton was in office. Thats when the root cause of our economy came to be with the repeal of Glass Stiegal. Too this day it has not been re-instated and until it is no recovery is possible.

    WRONG

    Repeal of Glass Steagall led to $1.5 Quadrillion derivatives today. $150 Trillion of which is insured by FDIC. Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers advocated repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. Bill Clinton signed the repeal into law and the rest is history. Kiss your retirement goodbye. Kiss everything goodbye when it crashes.

    Most of this nation's ills stem from Right Wing idiocy. And deregulation is a perpetual position taken by the Right Wing. The repeal of Glass-Steagall was an act of deregulation.

    The Reagan myth is responsible for all the financial deregulation that took place over the last 30 years.

    Reagan got lucky. The price of oil plummeted during his time in office, thereby causing the economy to rebound. People wrongly attributed that rebound to Reagan's policies, which featured de-regulation.

    All the de-regulation that followed, including the repeal of Glass-Steagall, is directly attributable to the Reagan Myth.


    Apparently you want more financial regulation.

    Well, that puts you at a position exactly opposite to Romney and the Republicans.

    The answer is . . . Get rid of every piece of crap RWNJ in Congress.

    How's that for concise?

    By the way, 14 Billion dollars is NOTHING in comparison to the TRILLIONS of dollars and thousands of lives we spent on the Iraq war, which GW tricked this nation into fighting.

    I don't do much of anything in lockstep.

    But I'm smart enough to know that the repeal of Glass-Steagall was an act of deregulation.

    And I'm smart enough to know that the political Right demands financial deregulation.

    And I'm smart enough to know that the repeal of Glass-Steagall was a major victory for Americas' Right Wing.

    Why digress.

    The fact is that Right Wing Mismanagement has caused this nation tremendous damage and will continue to do so if the idiots are given the opportunity.

    GW's attempt at "helping the poor" generated a whole bunch of failed mortgages.

    Face it . . . America's vast Right Wing is America's enemy number one.

    They're just too dumb to know it.

    By the way, the Dems got a lot done during the 6 months when they had a fillibuster proof majority.


    . . . ever heard of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act?

    I've heard of it! It will fail because current unemployment rates and a Trade Deficit like ours will never support it just like all the promises made in places like Greece, Spain and Portugal!

    The potential of it working is shown only by Nations that have a trade surplus like Germany & Japan!

    Face it....a stagnant economy and the in the 1st fillibuster Stimulus failure and now another one wanted to hire "Teachers, Fireman and Police" (a job local governments should do and not have to wait for the Big Tit Feds) is not a viable answer!

    What does a trade surplus have to do with whether or not the AHCA proves viable?

  • littleb... Lee 2012/07/15 21:22:30

    No it creates the need for them! Just like the ones in manufacturing not being filled by trained individuals.

    Propaganda is a long long way from implementation! And because of some people I know who know.....there has not been an increase in the # of slots in the nations medical schools! So a nice outline of dreaming it may happen does not make it so.
  • Lee littleb... 2012/07/15 23:04:48

    I'm not saying there won't be any hiccups in implementation. There always are.

    But problem solvers solve problems.

    That's why I generally vote Democrat.

    They will? Odd because asking and insuring there actually are more doctors should have been job ONE!

    I'm not defending the GOP I belong to neither. But to say this plan has "Hiccups" is laughable! The plan goes into effect in 2014 and there was ample time to close the gap of trying to provide more health care professionals and it very simply has not happened!

    So this wonderful bill with all it's great social wonderment of everyone getting it better is a Pipe Dream!

    Now you can go on all you like but very clearly you've been Flim Flammed, Hoodwinked and Bamboozled!

    I knew that when a Tax would be put on "Cadillac Care" and those that build them got an Exemption from it! So in my mind a UAW worker as far as Healthcare goes IS in the 1%!

    Well go ahead and "Yawn".....the fact that you don't get that already the implementation of this is behind in a VERY key part of it and that special privileges were given as a reward for votes!

    Now I assume we are done here as you can claim you're not lockstep but it's extremely clear you're more like you've been rapture'd! And when the plug get's pulled it's look just like Greece! Or Riots in Spain as these poorly done great Social Plans fail because they were strapped on the back of Economies that very simply could not afford them!
