The white house was bought and paid for by Big Labor. Andrew Stern, SEIU president visited the White House 22 times between Inauguration Day and July 31, meeting with President Barack Obama seven times and leading all visitors recorded during that period.
“Officials say the fast-growing union (SEIU) spent $85 million during the campaign season last year and that it was well worth it: The Obama Administration has appointed union officials to top posts …”
“SEIU is on the field, it’s in the White House, it’s in the administration,” said SEIU President Andy Stern.
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union spent $63 million or 32% of its expenditures for 2008.
International Brotherhood of Teamsters spent $13 million in 2008.
United Auto Workers spent $11 million in 2008.
SEIU spent $67 million in 2008.
“Mr. Obama has so far named Patrick Gaspard, a former SEIU official to be White House political director, and more recently nominated Craid Becker, associate general counsel to the SEIU and the AFL-CIO to the National Relations Board. Anna Burger, the SEIU’s second highest ranking officer, is a member of the presidents Economic Recovery Advisory Board.”

I read the comment by” REEDSPORT” down the page and wondered if the right wingers are really anti union. That would make them anti police and fire as many of those agencies are unionized. Of course they are full blown socialist organizations, you know like the military. I guess the right wingers now hate our military along with our police and fire. When will the righties learn you can’t have it both ways with out looking like fools!

North Bend Guy, what part of burying our government and country in a mountain of debt is our president doing good things with? He's spent more in his time as president than any president in the past and he's got over 3 more years to go.
democracy will be of no use when foreign interest payments cripple us.
Then lets see how you feel.
If you think you can spend your way out of debt you must be getting your talking points from kiddy sites like sesame street.

This is so innaccurate I can only conclude that you got your informaiton from Fox News or from some right wing source. It would more effective if you focused on facts rather than just using words like Marxism to try and scare people. However, if you stuck to the facts you may find that President Obama, " the first fairly elected president since Al Gore had the elections stolen from him" is working very hard to actually solve complicated problems that are not easily solved by military force or corporate influenece. Our President is currently trying to practice a political philosophy know as " Democracy" you can read about.

Mr. Milburn, I apologize for mistaken your identity. It is not true that "what you think or want doesn't matter a hoot to the Government. What I pay in taxes isn't enough to whine about." Once the taxes go up (and they will since Bush tax cuts expire)EVERYONE will pay more for EVERYTHING.
But has clearly rankled the president and his advisers. The attacks on Fox News are all about the reporting on radical elements within the Obama administration, I guess they didn't think anyone would connect the czars!

Where does "bow down" come in to play when the President wants to talk to Chavez or Castro? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer is a smart strategy. Yer first paragraph is BS. Paragraph two is nonsense. Obama doesn't know enough military secrets to be any threat to our National Strategy. The missle deal was a badly laid out plan that ignorantly focused on Iran as a threat. The Russians reacted just like we did when they put them in Cuba. And more troops behaving badly isn't gonna win us anything in Afghanistan but more body bags. Their strategy needs to improve first. Paragraph three. The Nazis ended up using that money to burn in their stoves to keep warm while we wiped them and their stupid ideas out. No need for us to copy that act either.Paragraph four. Clinton used the "when in doubt - bomb Iraq" political tool too, no new news there either. Paragrapg five. How? Should we all stand up and throw our paychecks at him? Refuse to pay our taxes? Picket the Welfare office, free clinics and food stamp center? Abolish Social Security and the Military? Fire all the cops? Abolish Government?

McCain, the senator who gets the most money from the Telecom industry. And then McCain has the audacity to label his bill, that would let internet service providers control access to content, The Internet Freedom Act.

It has been amusing looking at the various comments to my opinion letter. Predictably, the progressive liberals lodge personal attacks that have no basis. Every statement made in this opinion letter is backed up by video, audio or other documentation. Most was public news. Why the personal attacks then? I can only suppose that when you do not have facts to back up your argument then you must resort to these childish attacks. Attacking me and my level of education when you do not know anything about me or my level of education shows the level of desperation some liberals are now feeling with downward spiraling poll numbers that Obama and his gang now suffer from. Hint: user names like "mindtwisted" and "nogod" don't exactly enhance your credibility either.

To DANNYGS – What really is your point? I have a college education. I’m a veteran. AND, I live in a trailer. I also have my own opinions on government and if they don’t align with yours, does that make me an ignorant hillbilly? I’ve read your past posts and have gathered that you are a homosexual. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way, but a past comment in another article has stated as much. I assume you, as most gays, preach tolerance and acceptance for your lifestyle, yet you bash those that don’t agree with your political views or understanding of political concepts. Not one person here has defended Bush’s actions and as a Republican I’m disappointed in his presidency. However, Obama is not leading us to a better life. He is systematically taking over the free market system and slowly eliminating our rights. He also has not kept one single campaign promise despite being in office for nearly a year.

Simply ask what a policy would be to destroy our economy, and enable our enemies, and it will explain and predict what transpires. Hence the approach is best called OBAMUNISM.

Obama and the Democrats are following Cloward-Piven strategy exactly. First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
They will then rebuild in the "fundamental transformation" that Obama warned before the election.
I hope "the people" as a whole, and in sufficient quantity, will realize the massive deception perpetrated in the last election - and vote as much of this lot out in 2010 to thwart what Obama and the Democrats are doing.

Obama promised to end corporate greed - then he gave billions to big corporations. Obama said tax rebates didn't work - the he gave out tax rebates. Obama said the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were unjust - then he continued to rage those wars. Obama said deficit spending is bad for America - then he increased the deficit to record proportions.
Obama isn't a Marxist, he's George Bush!

Groucho Marxism?

I'm so happy that I'm not a right-winged weirdo, they live such scared uninformed lives.

Daniel, you have it right but it sure brings out the guffawers and College educated socialist dupes that think they know it all. "The Russians are coming?" "No, Communism is coming. "No truth to these claims?" He hasn't a clue. "Necessary Social reform." Those that decide if it's necessary is the Socialists you elect to office. DANNYGS. Why has Marxism as applied never works? It does not need to be read, try learning from the countries that have it as a government system and take a look at how happy the citizens are. Learn from history.....
Barack Obama wrote on Oct 27, 2009 7:36 AM:
You touched on one of the most important issues in our country today. The free wheeling printing of money. This is not just Obama though. The Federal Reserve was established right before the Great Depression. They are able to print as much money as they want with no oversight from Congress. Where do you think all the money comes from to fund all of these wars and ridiculous programs? We merely print it. What this causes is a back door inflation tax. We have been taught that inflation is inevitable, well its not. Inflation is a tax! Inflation has a trickle down effect and the last people to see a raise in pay are always the poorest. It hamstrings the poor and it is amazing that this is not talked about more. You need only to look at Nazi Germany where they ended up burning their money to keep warm, because of hyper inflation. The same with the Soviets who devalued their currency, therefor destroying their country. We are headed down that same path.

Marxism is preached as beneficent nurturing. In truth, it is the collective theft of the creative aspirations, the very souls, of individuals by a self-anointed, self-serving, avaricious elite of statist ideologues. It is the enemy about which the giant Southern novelist Thomas Wolfe warned — “single selfishness and compulsive greed . . . as old as time and as evil as hell.”
From Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals":
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

Kay - keen observation.
Daniel, who wrote this for you? it is wild! Do you even know what Marxism is? Do you know who Karl Marx is? do you know that's where the term "Marx"ism comes from? Have you read the Communist Manifesto?
LOL. these are good times!
Thank God the Democrats won so big in the last election, the entertainment provided by those freaking out is just priceless!

President Obama is trying to keep his campaign promises to pull this country back from the ruinous cliff we were led to by George II. The only promise he has yet to come through on is his promise to acknowledge that the gays and lesbians already bravely serving in the military have the same right to serve as their straight brothers and sisters in arms.

"Necessary social reform"
What's that mean, and who decides "necessary?"
Read Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. If authority granted by the governed to the federal government can't be found there, the authority doesn't exist.

Dan could have put this in less rabid terms, but his points are correct. The Obama administration have many American firsts, including firing a CEO and replacing the board of directors (GM). This is, by definition, facism, and has never been done before in America.

I read over this letter carefully, and I honestly have no idea what has changed to get Daniel so fired up.
I'm talking concrete tangible changes, not this conspiracy garbage that keeps getting thrown around by the right-wing/tea-baggers.
There is no truth to these claims. The Democrats do not have a "rabidly Marxist agenda." Supporting necessary social reform is not the same thing as communism. Calm down and try to look at the situation rationally; and stop believing everything you hear on Fox News.
