Huffington to Obama: Get Urgent, Now!

Yes, she would know about 3rd world nations since she came from one. Greece. She so totally hosed her husband that ran a failed senate bid with like 20+ million bucks and dumped the dude after the election and a gay scandal. I wish our Immigration laws could keep these eurovipers out of amerika. gimme a guatemalan worker any day.

Too late Arianna the President and the Democrats have sealed there fate by ignoring the American people and putting labels on us ( Racist , Nazis , Bigots , Uneducated miss guided souls ) And what did we do ? Oppose the far left policies of the President .

Huffington's horse is running in the wrong direction: going faster just puts us further behind. Note that Obama's Labor Day "new idea" was exactly the old idea hustled through congress in January 2009 promising the same "shovel-ready" jobs we should have seen months ago. "Summer of Recovery", my foot.

Can you imagine...Arianna has seen the light..... well maybe all is not lost...well of course, except for the left.

There is a word for this "third worldism". It is one that dare not speak its name. It is one that has been tied to Latin American dictatorships, dictatorships on the Iberian peninsula, Italy from the 1920's to mid-1940's, and the dream of every American industrialist since the late 19th century. It is an "F" word that not even the FCC would or could ban, but in polite, mainstream politics, is never uttered except in a historical context. But of late, it has made its appearance in its other word "Corporatism", since as one of its European proponents has said, should more properly called, since it is the merger of state and corporate power. I wonder how many people on the left have ever heard of the National Civic Federation, the organization founded in the late 19th century to guide the immigrants and internal migrants into America's cities into the working class as "human robots". This group, made up of industrialists, bankers, capitalists, academics, clergy and some labor leaders, was the forerunner of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. These elitist organizations, while appearing and practicing democratic values, were more interested, especially after the First World War, to impose this "F" word system on working-class Americans. If one reads George Seldes' autobiography, Witness To A Century, you will learn how Col. Robert McCormick (Seldes' boss for ten years at the Chicago Tribune) and other newspaper barons and American industrialists, sold this system to the American people in their newspapers and other media outlets. The numerous attacks against journalists and progressives throughout the 20th century, attest to the lengths to which the Corporatists will go to get their way. So, Huffington's book, and that of Robert Reich, is nothing new, but does speak to the current situation we are finding ourselves in. If Obama is really the change we need, then he will break with corporatism and side with real working Americans, both white-collar and blue-collar. These terms are not dirty; it's ok to say that, but as Obama has never worked a day in his life for a company that makes something or creates a service, then his ability to empathize with laid-off Americans is just theoretical, something he can never understand in his gut. He's a lawyer, not a proletarian. But there have been elitists in the Democratic Party who have understood the American worker, FDR being one of them, JFK another. Obama has yet to show that side. What we need are more FDR's, JFK's and Harry Truman's, not Lincoln's. We need a Democratic Teddy Roosevelt, not Wendell Wilkie (the Wall Street lawyer and southern Electrical company executive who opposed the TVA and Rural Electrification). Oh, and by the way, that "F" word is........FASCISM. And not the kind practiced by the paperhanging SOB in Berlin.

Ms Huffington is correct, as always. Many of us who call themselves progressives are no doubt disappointed with both Democrats and President Obama, but the blame may be spread further. This assault on the Middle Class has been the norm for a very long time, even before NAFTA. We got rid of the steel mills, and so many other industries, outsourcing for profit. No one should totally shun the profit motive, but even slave owners knew to keep their slaves well fed and housed in order to be successful.

...........its about time the left realized this country was built on capitalism, American ingenuity and not on socialist or spread the wealth concepts. Everyone has a chance to educate themselves, be creative in whatever pursuits they want and succeed. The I will take care of you because you are too stupid to take care of yourself crowd has finally awakened.

I truly Love Arianna Huffington, her point is Right On. I would like to see what the President Task Force on the Housing Crisis has come up with. These modifications the Banks have given out are a Joke to the criminal extent. They are deceitful and only to have homeowners walk away from their homes and have the homes sold at value to which if the Banks would have given it to the homeowners at that value they would have been able to still live in their homes. I absolutely do not understand how the Bank Notes were lost or destroyed which raises all kinds of questions and creates all kinds of problems, the whole while the Banks are hiding this from the General Public from knowing this. Where are the Feds on this when it comes to a universal decision. I have heard and read comments and decisions from Florida to New York and from Nebraska to California. No one is on the same page with the same problem. Who is in Control?

Obama's policies have contributed to decline...

Huffington's book sounds right on. Obama and his "change" seem to be intent on dragging America and Americans down to third world status, while he and his wife go on their ninth vacation this year... I hope Americans can see what is happening and vote accordingly in November.
