I`d offer up him mine but I can`t find it.

I`ve looked under every cabbage leaf, dug through the "fertilizer" and turned every stone. It`s gone.

Sorry Obama, the economy hit my money garden too hard these last few years and I need to regroup.

With Obama, he hates America and what it stands for( See the movie 2016)

This election will be about the sustaining or the falling of America. I am giving up, now.

"Obama hates" on Ah-murica riiight...sure he does.

Huffypoo is AOL

Party Politics as played in GU are irrelevent and not to mention boring. S-S-D-D.

I don't mind talking about it in the slightest. You know why? Because I know what he was talking about, and it's not "[wealth]" redistribution. Nice try, though.

"There has been a systematic – I don't think it's too strong to call it a propaganda campaign – against the possibility of government action and its efficacy," he is heard saying in the audio clip. "And I think some of it has been deserved."

Later in the recording, Obama says he wants to "resuscitate this notion that we're all in this thing together, leave nobody behind, we do have to be innovative in thinking how – what are the delivery systems that are actually effective and meet people where they live."

He continues: "I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution – because I actually believe in some redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot."

It's those final words – "I actually believe in some redistribution" – that Republicans have latched onto, characterizing them as an endorsement of redistributing wealth, rather than making sure government agencies were well supported. Many conservatives argue redistributing wealth is akin to socialism. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/19/romney-republicans- hit-back-with-obama-redistribution-tape/

Fast forward to his Presidency. What does he propose as part of his economic solution? Revenue Sharing. Heard of it?

It was signed into law by President Nixon in 1972.

Economist Walter Heller is credited with originating the revenue-sharing program, which U.S. President Richard M. Nixon signed into law in October 1972. During the 14 years of the program’s operation administrative costs were extremely low, and a total of $85 billion reached America’s communities. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/500387/revenue-sharing

Nixon's accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, ending the draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. http://www.presidentialpetmuseum.com/presidents/37RN.htm

President Obama could well point out that revenue sharing has Republican lineage; it ought to be a bipartisan cause today. It was Richard Nixon who first introduced the concept. Nixon viewed the federal bureaucracy as a poor revenue manager and argued that much counter-cyclical spending should go to the states, as they are closer to people’s needs and more directly hurt by falling revenues. But instead of simply cutting taxes, as later conservatives would, he proposed a new system called revenue sharing, which redirected funds to states and municipalities. The federal government would collect taxes and local governments would spend the money. Passed after contentious debate, the State and Local Assistance Act of 1972 initially delivered $4 billion per year in matching funds to states and municipalities. The program, which distributed some $83 billion dollars before it was killed by Ronald Reagan in 1986, proved enormously popular. http://www.rooseveltinstitute.org/new-roosevelt/reven ue-sharing-states-how-it-works-why-we-need-it-and-why-nixon-liked-it

This is management of the same style as the NFL. Not all teams are as profitable as others, so the money is pooled and redistributed for the welfare of all parties.

America is the only Nation to invoke God as a Supreme Diety. Islamic Reformer and Quran expert Dr. Rashad Khalifa pointed out that as per Quran, America is the most blessed Nation on Earth because it is the only Nation that invoked Monotheism accurately.

I think it is incorrect to say that an American President hates America or can be elected against God's Will. Even Dubya had a purpose and started with noble intentions, it is another matter that his method of executing his purpose was difficult due to the wicked counsel of Cheney.

If Obama hated America, God would not have allowed him into the White House. He loves America but he does not understand the best economic policies [probably wrong counsel?], hence has not taken the economy ahead as much as he should have.

"because, dear, no one actually heard mr obama say that word...they just assume that is what he meant."

but the fact is, he did not say "wealth redistribution" he said "redistribution" and in the context i heard, about three sentences? it could have as easily meant redistribution of spending priorities IN ILLINIOS STATE GOVT...

ie, without taking another dime from anyone, i can give one quarter of my wealth to my daughter and 3 quarters to my grandson...or i can put it into a lot of different places that will pay for schooling, housing, and food without either of them ever seeing an actual dime,,,

once again the media is jumping to put words in obama's mouth...as when he was speaking to medyedev(sic) about having more flexibility AFTER he is reelected...which is the plain truth, but he did NOT say that after he is reelected he would do whatever putin asks...that part was supplied by the OBAMA HATERS, professional and amateur.

To believe in a Supreme God and yet to think that Obama can defeat God's purpose to become President of USA against God's Divine Will is idolatory, IMHO.

UNLESS, we are in the last days and are going down, which we are based on all signs of current times. God will pour His wrath on this earth. That is the book of Revelation.

God is not the gumball fairy or Santa Claus, which man people make Him. He has righteous anger which WILL pour out on the earth per the Book of Revelation.

No hiding of individuals from this fact will change it.
