Obama on Free Markets: “We tried it. It’s not like we did not try.” Yeah, and it doesn’t work, right? So, computers, iPads, iPhones, cars, cheap food, etc, etc, were all invented and produced by the extra guys on the state road crews that never seem to be shoveling when we drive by. There’s really no point in arguing with a boob who just makes sh-t up as he goes along. Or listening to him.

The last time the free market was tried Woodrow Wilson was still the President. We've had nearly an hundred years of government manipulation. And the more control they get the worse they make it.
LOL.... He tried it? Since when? Please so what? We need to try socialism now? Becuase what? That ALWAYS works?
Our economy was firing on all cylinders until something happened in January 2007. Then when the smart people, not educated smart, saw that a true dyed in the wool collectivist was going to be the NSD party candidate and stood a good chance of winning, another something happened. When those smart people saw that 0bama was elected and knew his true intentions the shit hit the fan.
All of that had nothing to do with capitalism or trickle down economics, which I will note had a SINGLE MONTH WITH 1,000,000 people hired. George W. Bush was no capitalist, he was a compassionate conservative which equals socialist light but still socialist.
It's bullshitting.....I mean election season.
He's not talking about the Free Market. He's talking about trickle-down economics, and financial deregulation
You can't win with this sort of argument. Republicans have many ways to make a credible case against him, but they are sullied by cheap mischaracterizations. Sometimes I hear ole Mitt say some very wise things, in opposition to Obama. He won't drift into the Obama-is-marxist-or-muslim claptrap, because he knows that rhetoric hurts his overall case.
Be chill.. demonstrate the steady pragmatic reason that is the hallmark of conservatism. Remember, some of Obama's most crazed supporters back then freaked simply Obama uses macs and iPhones and all those free market goodies. That made him the first cool president. Yeah its stupid, but that's what you are up against
Triple Dumb Economics. My dad dubbed it that way back when.
“We tried it. It’s not like we did not try.”
No, We did it! We accomplished the greatest nation of freedom in the world.
It was done by freedom loving, hard working, capitalist with a good work ethic.
You and your kind have infiltrated all areas of influence, mainly education and government, trying to replace capitalism with socialism. You have had too much success for too long. That's the problem.
You have to read between the lines. What "Lazy Barry" is telling you is that he tried working for a living {Baskin-Robbins 1979} but it wasn't his gig {longest three weeks of his life}. Sure he gave away {stole} lots of ice cream to his friends but it was chump change. This little Chocolate Chip had always dreamed of delivering a double barrel scoop of Rocky Road to the U.S. economy guaranteeing a meltdown of biblical proportions topped with a Black Raspberry directed at our white founders.
Come on, Barry, please run on a promise to raise taxes; then, even Mitt can beat you like a drum.
read this in your best rod serling impression.
...it's the year 2012, and the potusa has declared that free market capitalism is finished. you're entering a world where every individual is coddled by the govt,paid by the govt, told what to eat by the govt...you've just entered "the obama twilight zone"....
LOL Gunboat: What makes Obama desperate is if America wakes up before November his entire ideology will be consigned to the ash heaps where is belongs.

He is losing it. Things are going to get even weirder, the lies bigger, and the repudiation of reality more outlandish. The man's basic psychological flaws of abandonment issues (both mother and father), self-loathing issues (I hated my white half), and muslim/communist upbringing in his formative years (Indonesia and Frank Jones) are coming right up to the surface.
jukin, you make a great point. Has anyone else noted that when cities develop over old landfills that, eventually, bed springs, broken glass, tin cans, fence posts, plastic bags and other bits of garbage make their way to the surface?
People can heap all the fill dirt they want over a dump but the refuse will finally surface.
What does this say about the contents of this man's character and soul?
