[Rhodes22-list] Political - Obama is a socilaist

[Brad Haslett]

Ed,

Time is running short and I really must "clean-up" and go be a
productive citizen - at least for awhile.

It would be a bit easier to accept The One's attempt to swing the
pendulum the other way for a bit if he personally had something to
show for in his previous efforts.  Something.  Anything.  One single
thing.  The man has been an abject failure at everything he has his
fingerprints on except for propelling himself to a higher office.

Here's the challenge.  Name one single Obama success.  One!  Anything
but a higher office, just one.

No one can meet that challenge.

I'll survive this either way.  The folks who think they will benefit
most will be the first harmed.

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink"!

This isn't over with yet by any means, there's lots of time left.  But
people are stupid.  Never underestimate the power of stupidity in
numbers.  No demagogue in history ever has.
