Obama Offers A New Version Of The Square Dea (ROFLMAO!): We don’t know exactly who this Ed Dionne Jr. moron is. But it is seems safe to assume -based upon this article- that he is an unabashed fan of the sorts of economic facism that always seems to usurp power/property from the people . . . and somehow lands that power/property squarely in the hands of the government and their cronies. Take for example his paraphrasing of Dear Leader paraphrasing Teddy Roosevelt: “that the free market has never been a free license to take whatever you can from whomever you can” The only problem with this thinking is that it is wrong. At least so far as concerns us today. The free market was abolished nearly a century ago. And in those nearly hundred years it has been government that has taken whatever they want and whenever they wanted it.

New Nationalism? Socialist principles embraced by the president? Capitalism doesn't work?
New Nationalism. Socialism. National Socialism? What was that German term for National Socialism? Nazi. Seems like a stretch to call the current administration Nazis but that speech was pure economic fascism.
Good call! Whenever these national socialist types reject the title of fascist it is always pointed to that they are not "nationalists" . . . which is usually followed by an argument that the government should be more aggressive in the business of nationalizing things like health care and the economy and our bodies.
Square Deal from a Square Head. Who knew?
Dionne is one more reason newspapers deserve to go out of business.
Obama is now reduced to standing in front of mirrors and pretending to be some other president (who can blame him - I wish he were somebody else, too.) When he gets around to imagining himself as, say James Buchanan, he'll finally be at the right level.
I was about to say more like Grant, but Buchanan beat him in the corruption department.
