The most well-informed statement in this posting is; “Until you have the ability to completely control all public behavior you cannot control the results of that behavior.”

The current economic conditions are exactly the conditions this administration desires. We do have some of the best, brightest, and most educated persons in the US driving this train; and they are purposefully driving it over the cliff.

• They knew that bailing out the financial institutions would not improve conditions for small business or the American people. They also knew it would give the administration unprecedented control over the financial markets. Control they intend to fully exercise shortly.

• By overseeing the bankruptcies of GM & Chrysler, the administration was able to ensure union majority ownership of both major manufacturing concerns upon their emergence from district court.

• House speaker Nancy Pelosi called the recently passed Waxman-Markey cap & trade bill a jobs bill. A jobs bill that contains provisions for extended unemployment benefits for all the American people that Congress knows are going to lose work when it becomes law.

• In the same vein as TARP, the stimulus package, and cap & trade; the administration is now pulling out all the stops to get health care legislation passed before September. The administration says if you are happy with your current plan, you can keep it. Not likely. If the administration tells my company that they either must continue to pay my premium or pay a $750 fine, which do you think my company will choose? Continue to pay $5,000 per year with no tax deduction, or pay $750 and tell me to find my own insurance?

The administration professes to want to repair the economy. This is euphemism. Look at the true meaning of what is happening.

1. Banks being told who to lend to and how much, by the government
2. Union control of manufacturing concerns granted by government fiat
3. Government control over energy production and any item that uses energy to produce, transport, store, or deliver.
4. Direct government involvement in personal health care decisions, and by association, any lifestyle choices an individual may make that has an effect on health.

This administration already has the first two. What happens to individual liberty once they achieve the last two? I cannot think of a single facet of my life that will not be directly under the control of the government. Access to energy, access to financial services, access to health care, and access to the workplace. All being guided by the velvet-gloved fist of the ever-watchful government.

Why would he care? The moron who presided over the creation and perpetual exacerbation of the first great depression was elected to four terms in office (and would have probably been elected indefinitely had he not mercifully died), and is now hailed by 90% of Americans as a mythical socialist God who saved America from capitalism run amok. And he was white. Take the same policies, with the same consequences, and now imagine that the mythical socialist savior is also from an extra-special under-privileged minority group. History will be more kind to Barack Obama than his wikipedia page.
