Unnamed repubs support Obabble's economic proposals

[deltex1]

According to Obabble...

"Now -- you know, it's interesting. In the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say, well, you know, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some of them, you've said before, some of them sound great, but you can't get those through Congress; Republicans won't agree with you. And I say, look, the fact is there are Republicans in Congress right now who privately agree with me on a lot of the ideas I'll be proposing.

I know because they've said so. But they worry they'll face swift political retaliation for cooperating with me. Now, there are others who will dismiss every idea I put forward -- (laughter) -- either because they're playing to their most strident supporters or, in some cases, because sincerely they have a fundamentally different vision for America -- one that says inequality is both inevitable and just; one that says an unfettered free market without any restraints inevitably produces the best outcomes, regardless of the pain and uncertainty imposed on ordinary families. And government's the problem and we should just shrink it as -- as small as we can."

Yes, you know, those scurrilous Congressional Republicans that sneak off in the middle of the night to score their Obamanomics fix and then attend Republicrats Anonymous meetings on the weekends to assuage their guilt...

 

[The Rabbi]

I dont doubt there are Republicans who are salivating over being able to give out more pork to their constituents. But there is too much in that statement that smacks of self serving. And of course anything Obama says must be presumed to be a lie at this point.

 

[MACAULAY]

This speech by Obama at least sets out the area of dispute.

Its Capitalism versus Socialism.

He's a Socialist and he is easing that fact out of the closet now that he has gotten close to a majority on the Government tit.

Its really strange that we have to have this argument again so soon.

It seems it would have been put to bed with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

With that out on the table,a logical question,and just that a question,is this "vision" one of sincerity or just a simple power grab,after all we be humans.
