Barack Hussein Obama has done more to depress the markets than any one thing because as he has stated, ”words mean something.” Words from Obama’s mouth are constantly about doom, gloom and misery.

While Obama spent millions on his coronation, pretends to be Abraham Lincoln and has nominated at least two tax cheats for Cabinet positions we must wonder what makes this Saul Alinsky prototype tick.

Yes, “words mean something” and Barack Hussein Obama is clueless about The Great Depression, absolutely clueless, but he would have the world believe that the next great small business opportunity is selling pencils from a tin cup on a street corner in Chicago.

When a president of the United States constantly tells Americans things are bad they start believing it while they shop for the next electronic device or fill the local restaurants for dinner. People will begin to doubt themselves and become dependent on government and Obama to “fix” something that is not entirely broke – our individualism.

Mismanagement of government caused the economic downturn, Wall Street is part of the problem and as we’ve said time and again, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and their pals did more to sink the housing market and start the engines of recession then any one thing.

Spending trillions will not stimulate the economy any more than free condoms and food stamps will. One reader commented that I don’t know a thing about Marxism. Just one more fool in the hit parade.

In the short verse, Marxism is against Capitalism and Barack Obama, with his Leftist ilk, is constantly bashing Capitalism in lieu of creating greater government control. That is only the beginning but some banks and auto companies are already on the road to nationalization. Universal healthcare will be the next big roll into nationalizing the insurance and health industry. That too is a small part of Marxism.

Obama wants to practice Keynesian economic theory advocating the need to socialize investments, and run deficits. Keynesian economists assumed poor people would spend new incomes; however, they saved much of the new money; that is, they paid back debts owed to landlords, grocers and family. People didn’t necessarily consume they only continued to tread water to stay afloat. 

Milton Friedman was originally a supporter of the New Deal and advocate of high taxes, but in the 1950s his reinterpretation of the Keynesian consumption function challenged the basic Keynesian model.

In the 1960s Dr. Friedman promoted an alternative macroeconomic policy called monetarism. He theorized there existed a “natural rate of unemployment” and he argued the central government could not micromanage the economy because people would realize what the government was doing and shift their behavior to neutralize the impact of policies.

Reagan economic success had a basis from monetarist thinking; George W. Bush and Republicans lost their economic way and Liberals like Frank and Dodd were allowed to use housing policies from the Carter era to force banks and mortgage companies to loan money against normal business and credit policy.

Barack Obama would like the average American to believe we are a scene from John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath” and the dust bowl will become real again due to global warming and lack of government intervention.

Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on a poor family of sharecroppers, the Joads, driven from their home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agriculture industry.

Obama constantly announces how he will create millions of jobs through public works, controlled by government and paid for by taxpayers. The Joads, like millions of others, were in a hopeless situation and Obama wants citizens to believe they are in a hopeless situation as well.

Obama economic policy will not fix the recession, only prolong it. Obama uses a “Guerrilla Marketing” technique that states:

“For every three times you expose your prospect to your marketing message – via ad, sign, mailing, whatever – it gets missed or ignored two of those times. So you’ve got to put out the good work about your company a total of 27 times in order to make those nine impressions.”

Obama is relentless on presenting his marketing message, never forgetting to tell us what a “disaster” we’re in, how bad things are, how only he and his government can save America and fix the economy.

“Rarely in history has our country faced economic problems as devastating as this crisis,” Obama has said. “Now is the time for those of us in Washington to live up to our responsibilities.”

Politicians in Washington are irresponsible; many at the top have even evaded paying their taxes and plead ignorance while offering an apology for their deceit. Where is the outcry, where is the rage?

Using Saul Alinsky’s tactics from “Rules for Radicals”, Obama emphasizes Rule 11:

“If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counter side.”

Alinsky explains this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.

Obama is always negative; he has reversed his talk of “hope” and emphasizes the “change” side of his Leftist agenda. Obama emphasizes the negative over and over as his “Guerrilla” technique to convince the citizens that only he can fix a problem, he is the answer; he will take care of us as long as we remain patient and disarm ourselves of the notion that individual liberty and freedom are important.

We must succumb to the Obama message and become the Joad family because the worst is yet to come.

Barack Hussein Obama is the savior and we must relinquish any individualism and become a part of his collectivism, his solution to our “Grapes of Wrath.” Indeed!
