You really need to do some homework on Federal Reserve Monetary Policy and more importantly, FOMC monetary operations. If you are as old as you say you are, you would have undoubtedly heard the expression "matched-sales" numerous times during Fed Chairman Volcker's reign. And for what it's worth, there is no such word as constrictionist . . . Have another beer my friend.
Wow, Landis you just made a new low with yourself with this post! You distort the facts to fit your own thinking of what you listened to in the OP video post. Are you sure you listened to the same video that all of us posting here listened to? Did you take note of several quotes from BO like; "and I really want to emphasize the word responsibilty I think that whether you are a WHITE executive living out in the suburbs who doesn't want to pay taxes TO inner city childern for them to go to school", or " I think when you spread the wealth around its good for everybody", or "Because I think of the problems that African Americans face in this country we tend to have a sanitized view in the Africam Am. community about what is going on in Africa and the truth of the matter is many of the problems that Africa faces whether it is poverty or political suppression or ethicnic conflict is just as prominent there and can't all be blamed on the effects of colonialism what it can be blamed on is some of the common factors that effect Bosnia or Los Angeles or all kinds of places on this earth and that is the tendency for one group to try to suppress another group in the interest of power or greed or resources or what have you..." The premise of the video was to show that BO is a Socialist at heart ! Its very hard for you to see that, isn't it Landis? No where in that video did BO "point out" as you state that the "market" is unable to provide training for jobs... , or that the "free" market is not so "free and fair" or the "marketplace" is not always "fair and free". Landis do you even know the difference between Capitalism vs Socialism? Look it up, you need to re educate yourself. Only in theory is there a "free market". Government intervention whether directly or indirectly thru regulation or taxes disproves it. But leave it you Landis to distort the Facts and deflect Criticism.
Didn't Obama go to visit his Granny the day before the election, She was snuffed out then he returned.
This may be news for you but certain things are protected by federal law. It is not really about the media "hiding" obama's sat score or his academic records. If there was something interesting there, cesspool known as fox news would have picked it up. Your problem is that you assume obama is some kind of junkie affirmative action born in kenya and your worldview is shaped accordingly.
Federal law!? You must be a big government whore. The individual owns access to his own records. The individual has the choice to release information. Just like John Kerry not releasing his Yale GPA because it was lower then so called "dumb Bush". There always a reason not to release personal information and for a politician it is always about hiding something.
What I see is someone "twisting" a video that is nearly 14 years old to "fit" into their own personal political view. What I also see is someone that has incredibly poor reading comprehension skills and who is still very much pissed that I rubbed his face in the dirt when he (you) incorrectly claimed that Robert Reich was currently an economic advisor to President Obama. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151575&perpage=6&pagenumber=12 Congratulations. You are as clueless as ever. Now feel free to tell us how many "aliases" you have on ET. I dare you.
You people are truly stupid. When I said protected by federal law I meant it was priviliged info that a passerby was not entitled to see. There are two schools of thought regarding outrageous accusations. You either ignore them so as not to give them "air time" or you confront them immediately and heads on. The choice you make depends on whether polls show that accusations are "taking their toll". Kerry miscalculated with swiftboaters. Kenya birth is not the only issue that was raised by lunatics. Initially there was a madman who claimed he had gay sex with obama (it happened during the primaries). Was Obama supposed to give air time to that lunatic as well? You come from the point of view that obama has to prove something to you. He does not. Deal with it. If he starts addressing the ridiculous accusations there will be no end in sight to more issues raised. Obama did not consider it necessary to show his birth certificate to a bunch of deranged lunatics. The polls proved him right. Supreme court did not want to get involved. CASE CLOSED.
Obama is definitely affirmative action and he appears to have been born in Kenya and he is an admitted drug user however the point is no one knew anything about him before the election.
Oh poor little Landis your just being a little bitch because I owned you on this quote of yours! Quote from Landis82: You have no idea what you are talking about. GM generates $50-$60 BILLION in tax revenue to the federal government, not too mention the fact that they employ 3 MILLION people in this country. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144597&perpage=6&pagenumber=5 Leave it to you Landis to Distort the Facts and Deflect Criticism!!! You are Clueless!
