Barack Obama Claims He is not a Socialist … Say Hello to the Business Friendly President

If it looks like a socialist, talks like a socialist and acts like a socialist … guess what America, it’s a socialist.

Speaking to the Business Roundtable, President Barack Obama stated that he was not a socialist and that he is a believer in the free market system. Really Mr. President. Because making the government larger, taking over businesses, attempting to take over 1/6th of the US economy and health care is not socialism, how?

Barack Obama once again tells people that he really is not something even though every action he does proves he is a socialist, let alone all the socialist and self proclaims communists he surrounds himself with.

77% of US investors believe that Barack Hussein Obama is anti-business. There is a glowing endorsement. In poll after poll, Americans given Obama poor marks on the economy. Only 6% of Americans believe the stimulus plan crated jobs.

There is an age old adage, if you have to tell people that you are not something, most likely you are. Your actions should be able to be more than enough to prove what one truly is.  Because Obamanomics is based on the tenants of capitalism, right?

Obama’s remarks were set against a backdrop of unease in the business community about his economic and budget policies as well as his legislative drive for healthcare, energy and financial regulatory reform.

“Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market,” Obama said in prepared remarks.

The President said he was for free trade. Cap & Trade legislation is “free trade” in what way? What does any one care what it was thwarted at? That is what the end consequence would be, to further damage business and the US economy.

Obama said his efforts to enact sweeping legislation to overhaul financial regulations and set caps on carbon emissions to fight climate change were not aimed at thwarting businesses.

Does Barack Obama ever listen to what he actually reads off the teleprompter? This dribble reads like a SNL skit. Government is about pro-jobs, who’s government? All of Obama’s spending has only made unemployment go higher, not stop at the magic 8% he poromised when Democrats passes the $878 billion stimulus package. Now they pass another paltry $15 billion and that is supposed to be a game changer.

“Getting this balance right has less to do with big government or small government than it does smart government. It’s not about being anti-business or pro-government; it’s about being pro-growth and pro-jobs,” he said.

The president’s agenda got a boost early on Wednesday from the U.S. Senate, which, in a relatively bipartisan vote, approved a $15 billion package of tax breaks and highway spending that aims to bring down the country’s stubbornly high 9.7 percent unemployment rate

Obama in his speech also stated that the US must get spending under control. Are you kidding Obama? Who do you think is responsible for the record and damaging deficit that faces the United States and the generations to come? That you be you, Mr. I am not a socialist.
