I can't look at and listen to him without thinking that someone is playing a very tragic joke on us by him being a serious candidate for president of our country. It's pathetic when I look at all 3 candidates and wonder if that's the best we can do? But the aggressive way the media is pushing Obama and basically brain-washing people that he is the "one and only" solution and the way his flunky followers are eating it up, is very scary.

If the other 96% could do the same they would. The fact is they can’t because they are incapable. That so few can do so well and so many do so badly is a testament to the freedom and liberty that undermines the engine of capitalism; this is not a fault. Socialism and its founders call success failure and failure to them is the failure of capitalism to provide world equity. Capitalism does live within a backdrop of world poverty because capitalism is the collective ethics of the enterprise of free people that live for the sake of themselves, their interests, their lives, their hopes, aspirations and dreams and those that practice it become collectively successful. And in the process it does no damage. Capitalism does not create poverty; it inherits it and replaces it with wealth. The creation of wealth should cause no guilt just because poor people in the world exist that do not practice capitalism. On the contrary it should cause pride. If man cannot exist for the sake of himself, his family and friends then he exists for strangers and in the process becomes their property. Abandoning capitalism for the sake socialism does nothing to ameliorate poverty but simply pledges solidarity with poor people by volunteering to not try and become unlike them. Such a course of action is voluntary poverty and associated misery. Poverty does not really exist in America. Travel to other countries and any horrors you perceive in any American Humane Society will look good considering that the lives of the human beings in two-thirds of the world are significantly worse. Fascism is the socialism of the wealthy. They hate America because success is not related to government but exists despite government. Fascists themselves have no problem living like successful capitalisms, within a backdrop of inequality and poverty, except that unlike capitalists they have done nothing to achieve economic success. They leave you successful enough to tap off much of the profits of your labor and investments because they know that they cannot do the same themselves without sacrifice, risk and hard work. They are parasites that are smart enough not to kill the host but allow you (the host) to prosper so that the State can live off of your enterprise. They do not protect individual liberty and freedom but control and harness it for the sake of the State. Interestingly they do this by convincing you, not about their obligations, but of yours. How else can you live with yourself if you buy their definition of Judeo Christian compassion? Ultimately it is we that volunteer to become their victims. Lincoln stated that you cannot make a poor man wealthy by making a wealthy man poor. That is true but you can make some men powerful by making many men poor and obligated to the powerful. That is the fascist dream. The biggest problem we have is ignorance fostered by lack of, and deliberately skewed, education. Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton could not exist in 1776. The problem we have is not King Obama. The problem is that we built the house for the King and given him a place to live. In order to destroy the King we must first tear down the house of illegitimate socialism that we, ourselves, have constructed. He is a demagogue, a false prophet that offers no solutions. The answers to our imaginary problems are ourselves, our intelligence, our industrious nature, our innovativeness and most of all our freedom and liberty. And that is what capitalism is all about.
