Wall Street’s generosity toward Obama, in particular, would seem to run counter to its self-interests.

In addition to calling for corporate and capital gains tax hikes, Obama has proposed raising income taxes on those earning more than $250,000.

But Wall Street is often motivated by something more than money – winning.

“In general, these are professional prognosticators,” said Ritsch. “And they may be putting their money on the person they predict will win, not the candidate they hope will win.“

Didn’t think we’d read it, did ya!

You moonbats consider public school and non-privatized trash collection to be socialism…

Wow… bizarre illustration that he’s not a Marist/socialist, Fit Fit.. Altho while on the education topic, it must be said that Obama supports charter schools (a rather morphed, Jimi Hendrix version of affirmative action), and is against vouchers.. thus denying anyone the chance to attend a private school they would not otherwise be able to afford. He’s notably silent on home schooling. Now why would that be? Perhaps because he doesn’t want to bring it up because the home schoolers won’t like it? As it is, on the home schooler sites I see, they’re filling in the blanks for him… assuming he’s in favor or at least won’t ban it.

He’s most certainly an affirmative action kind of guy. He’s promised to be shuffling more of the taxpayers’ dollars to education… like that’s done whit to improve it for decades. Seems like the more money thrown at it, the more corrupt and beholding to government chosen curriculum it becomes, and the less our kids know when graduated.

INRE his beliefs in general. From Obama himself just days ago, while trying to appease his left base for his central shifting…

“I am someone who is no doubt progressive,” he said, adding that he believes in universal health care and that government has a strong role to play in overseeing financial institutions and cracking down on abuses in bankruptcies and the like.

Let’s see… Progressive sites. Like Common Dreams? The Nation? Center for Labor Renewal?

From Marxmail.org… in their FAQs section on Marxism

There are two kinds of private property. There is property which is personal in nature, consumer’s goods, used for private enjoyment. Then there is the kind of private property which is not personal in nature, property in the means of production. This kind of property is not used for private enjoyment, but to produce the consumer’s goods which are.

Socialism does not mean taking away the first kind of private property, e.g. your suit of clothes; it does mean taking away the second kind of private property, e.g. your factory for making suits of clothes. It means taking away private property in the means of production from the few so that there will be much more private property in the means of consumption for the many. That part of the wealth which is produced by workers and taken from them in the form of profits would be theirs, under socialism, to buy more private property, more suits of clothes, more furniture, more food, more tickets to the movies.

What does imposing profit taxes on the wealthy in order to fund socialist programs but Marxism? What is his intent to make sure no American is “too wealthy”… who achieved their dreams at the “expense” of others… but another way to take from with ability, and redistribute to those of need?

What is the increased government interference (aka “a strong role”) for his perceived “abuse” (windfall profits, salary caps for execs) and lavish govt funding in private enterprise (most especially in energy) but a method to control that industry for the common good?

What is universal healthcare but a pill easier to swallow than socialized medicine?

Altho I’ll give you this… the *real* hardline socialists find him distasteful, as well as all the DNC. He is far too rightwing for them. Places like the World Socialist Web Site say the DNC’s credibility is shattered, and the only way is build a new political movement based on a socialist and internationalist perspective.

Other slighlty less hard core socialist/Marxists think he’s building that movement now, but doesn’t realize it. They believe that once in office, they can push him and a DNC led Congress even further to the left, based on his extreme left primary campaign promises. And ya know, they could be right if those elected nutballs decide to believe that “the American people” want to become the United States Socialist Republic. They are holding all the cards to do it.

Whether any of that comes to pass can only be seen if he is elected. But one thing is for certain. He most certainly has the bulk of the Marxist/socialist support. Now why would that be, if not for their commonality in so many of his policies?

What happens when the “fact-checkers” don’t check facts and the “watchdogs” don’t watch? Consider the case of those who claim to be watching politicians for lies and deceptions and pretend to analyze Senator Barack Obama’s new patriotic “Country I Love” television ad, airing in 18 states.

The Annenberg Political Fact Check, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, and Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz have written analyses of the Obama ad. But they are as flawed as the ad itself.
