Two factors. One, a LOT of drugs, including cocaine and amyl nitrate, over a period of 20+ years. Second, primitive schools in Indonesia and a touchie-feely proggie school in Hawaii. 

Brain damage + lack of basic education.

You also left out that the The One has never been in business and has gotten all that he has through Affirmative Action and through the slobbering love affair of the liberal mainstream media. Obama is nothing more than a snake oil salesman.  And slippery he is.]]></description>

“Perhaps the man just cheekily alludes to the ankle-grabbing posture he wishes the American people to assume.”

It’s his koranimal showing. What is more regulated than a muslime economy? Who lifts their arse 5 times a day as required? (Bottoms up!) Who is regulated to the point of how they wipe said arse?

I think “sablegsd” has some excellent insights there to the text of Obama’s subterranean messaging.

Lourdes on June 24, 2012 at 9:58 PM &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I had more thoughts to share about this, about that point that &quot;sablegsd&quot; made at 9:38 PM.

 
&lt;em&gt;It’s his koranimal showing. What is more regulated than a muslime economy? Who lifts their arse 5 times a day as required? (Bottoms up!) &lt;/em&gt;

Obama delivered this speech in Florida.  I don&#039;t know how many who read these comments are aware, but &lt;em&gt;the Tampa Bay, Florida area is location of a growing Muslim population&lt;/em&gt;.  

Obama&#039;s contexts are very often (if not routinely) really rank to most of ours senses but he does tend to include special phrases if not double-meaning or double-purposed phrases and words that he then repeats.  Like the post identifies (by Erika Johnson), Obama exploits words and word-concepts for an underlying purpose to include that way a &quot;street&quot; message.  I do think that this speech (pushing &quot;bottoms up&quot; as an economic model) is, indeed, Obama using his &quot;koranimal&quot; voice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama: We need more taxes and regulations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh yes.  Applying burdens to businesses is the way to go if you want to spur growth and employment.  

I would also like to see Obama create a new office within the Commerce Department, that actively works to dissuade new private ventures from getting off the ground.  Call it the Office of Balanced Growth.

It is very important that the public sector have a level playing field in competing with private enterprise.

And one of the best tools we have available to accomplish that aim is to regulate the piss out of greedy capitalist startups that refuse to &quot;work hard&quot; and &quot;play by the rules&quot; of Obamanomics.  Make them rue the day.]]></description>

1. Romney (a good businessman, clean-cut, and sane) is the only Republican candidate in the race.

2. We have a dog-eating, Marxist, lunatic in the White House.

3. What’s difficult about this choice?

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Romney is an establishment fellow traveller who wont rock the boat.  The entire regulatory system as it relates to the financial industry will go untouched and enforcement will become even worse than it is now.

		<description><![CDATA[Since some are playing the &quot;blame game&quot;, I&#039;ll proffer this: Long, long ago, banks that loaned people and businesses were very, very careful about who they loaned money to, because if the they wrote bad loans then THEY WERE STUCK WITH THEM!

At some point, the US GOVERNMENT began to allow companies to sell their notes to others, thus an entire cottage industry sprang up of companies that had a sole goal of loaning money and then selling the note.

The next step was a further relaxation of regulations by the US GOVERNMENT in order to permit creating investments that were backed by bundles of these notes.

The final straw was the US GOVERNMENT pressuring lenders to make loans to people that traditionally would have NEVER QUALIFIED due to their job status and credit history, and these ROTTEN LOANS were bundled with other good loans and sold openly and dishonestly as being 100% solvent, or a &quot;don&#039;t worry, the feds will cover your back&quot; message.

NONE OF THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN IF THE PEOPLE LOANING THE MONEY HAD TO KEEP THE NOTE!

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The more safety nets you erect, the more risky behavior you get.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
