Obama: 'The great jobs killer'...
Either Barack Obama is the worst economic president in American history or he is working an intentional Cloward-Piven strategy to bring this great nation to its knees. There really is no other explanation.

I’m guessing it’s the latter. Most people really don’t hit bottom and dig like this unless they are truly ignorant. And a president would have a topnotch advisory team that could steer hom away from psychotic stupidity.
Granny commented:
That this is deliberate has been obvious for quite some time, just like it has long since become obvious that the destruction of the Gulf coast, both physically and economically, is a deliberate action on the part of the current regime. NOBODY is that incompetent.
picturerock commented:
Just recall his associates before getting into politics, and it is clear that it is a Cloward Piven strategy. Bill Ayers must be very pleased with his protege.

Me, I vote for the old standby, just plain incompetence. The college professors have reached their long held dream, showing that they can run things better than anybody else. And as expected, they really suck at it. But they’ll keep plodding along, hoping to prove that socialism works! Too bad the rest of will pay the price.

I agree this is Obama’s Cloward-Piven Economic Strategy. I think Soros is involved. He did it in England. Maybe that was a practice run. They want a One World Order, no borders sound familiar???
Yrral Dleifsarb commented:
My bet is that Soros is pulling the strings, and stands to profit from the economic calamity being engineered by Zero’s administration acting in concert with the Dims. There may well be motivations inspired by Cloward-Piven, but Zero is not the master here — less visible actors are calling the shots. His incompetance would be an issue only if he sought the well-being of the country. Only fools believe he seeks such, and they do so delusionally, without evidence.
kato commented:
Let’s not let the similarity to 1932 distract us from the fact that this is the biggest jive act in American history.
Today’s arrogant, lying government has even more tools for impoverishing the people who’ve earned and saved in order to hand it over to parasites who get a free ride.

Think out of the box….. Think.
OK, I’m thinkin’…… What box ?
Oy vey……. Turn off American Idol for five minutes !……….
Alright already, I’m listening.
What were looking at is a multi-layer meshing of The Cloward & Piven Strategy, PLUS Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules For Radicals AND parts of Jihad that are being employed “to fundamentally transform The United States”…….. and they haven’t really started yet either.
How can you say that, Kenny – that they haven’t really started yet ?
Easy….. People haven’t started ‘being disappeared’ and stuff (other than The Gulf and that water mess in Cali.) ain’t been gettin’ blowed up real good yet either……. and by ‘people’, I mean only typical bitter God-clinging gun owners.
Are you crazy Kenny ? The administration would have to eliminate The Constitution for that to happen.
Yessum, I up ‘n got that. Wanna see that happening right in front of you ?
You gotta be kiddin’ me ?!?
Nope…. Two links over at another website….. hate to do it here on Jim’s place, but these two columns are about as concise a read as you’re gonna get anywhere for now. A friend of mine named Veronica did the research and writing.
Okay, I’m all ears.
Do ‘em in order – 1 then 2. Lots of big ol’ college words, but ya gotta read it and try to understand how much real tangible danger we’re all in today, tonight, tomorrow morning and beyond.
Hit me with whatcha got.

Lisa G in NZ commented:
You might like another viewpoint on Cloward-Piven also recently from an article over at A.Thinker “Why Cloward-Piven will eat itself” if the statists way goes all the way…
“What will likely happen instead is a brief state of chaos wherein the dependent drones of the government trudge zombie-like to collect their “benefits” and “entitlements.” Then, seeing that those goodies can no longer be had, they probably turn like a spider monkey on their masters, who promised them these things would keep on coming. Then, desperate, some of these folks might move out into the suburbs and rural areas to pillage and plunder for those things they “need.” After a few nasty encounters with the well-armed populace, this activity will shortly be curtailed, and some semblance of order will be restored in some areas…”
(worst case scenario) is “an anarchy state (will form) whereby small regions will band together for common defense. Small government will be achieved. And that would be the antithesis of what Cloward and Piven want.”

How do you think obama can spend all of his time playing golf, going to ball games, theaters, having parties, bbq’s, and going on vacations? Everything is being done by Center for American Progress as per George Soros’ instructions. They just put it on the teleprompter and he reads it. Easy job!
Old One commented:
Oblabla is both the worst president on the economy in history because he is a marxist and a believer in the Cloward Pivin ploy to destroy capitlaism and our Republic.
Obozos s pursuit of Destruction for our country is proof of his incompetence . If he were a competent individual he would have never bought into marxism and its worldwide track record of failure.
I have little doubt that the old nazi kapo & pervert pedophile Soros is using the dupes Harry, Hussein and Ninny Nan to further his insatiable lust for money, power, and debauchery.

“They just put it on the teleprompter and he reads it.”

Agreed he was just hired to read TOTUS.
But: Obamster is definitely in on it and totally believes the marxist/statist ideologies…
He knows he’s a usurper, too…
Sandy commented:
Would Soros like this — probably how about Obama — of course. But if it was to be done it would have had to have been done quickly and quietly and Obama would have needed Americans firmly in his corner trusting and believing he was doing the right thing.
Obama himself screwed this up. His own hatred and paranoia have turned off half of this country. This nation cannot be governed as a monolith — there are too many factions who would never go along with this and Obama played to all of them to his detriment.
Among Congressional Dems who should be reacting to the electorate in a cool dispassionate manner — we see antagonizm and confrontation at every level. Had they not antagonized their constituants — they should have sailed to an easy victory. Now in the hamfisted Obama way he needs Illegals voting in order to keep the Dems in power.
And what’s with the Oil Spill? If Obama thought this would turn more Americans toward alternative energy — it has backfired. It doesn’t matter if they show no more pictures of the Gulf — its out there and it looks like total incompetence at best and like a power grab at worst. Had he taken a couple of years he might have sold the American people on Cap and Trade but he was afraid he couldn’t wait that long with the election debacle on the horizon.
Just take Israel as an example. Last month Obama seemed to be firmly in the hands of the radical Muslims. Now he is going to be giving the Red Carpet treatment along with a joint News Conference to Netanyhu. It seems that rather than solidifying his power Obama doesn’t know which way to move in order to try to hold onto his power.
The Iranians are fed up with him as are the Europeans and The Chinese don’t even want members of the administration paying a visit to their country.
If this is what Obama was trained to accomplish he failed miserably.
Sandy commented:
I don’t say you guys are wrong but this is not like taking over Poland and I am not ready to believe it can be done at all. We Americans love our creature comforts and firmly believe in the American Dream. We remember too well the misery brought to us by Jimmy Carter who tried many of the same things albeit for different reasons. We are ready for Morning in America and another Ronald Reagan.
Jean commented:
Obama is both the worst President and deliberately destroying this country.
I do think he’s stupid after all his IQ is 5 points less than Bush and he never anticipated the Tea Party Rebellion because he thought he could continue to use the race card and blame Bush. His hope and change is not working for him anymore.
The Emperors clothes are gone and Obama is naked for all to see.
Multitude commented:
Obama is signified by the BP outlier catastrophe, but not in the manner you might initially think.
Black swan events give rise to initially uncontrollable outbreaks due to the host system’s absence of defense and anticipation of the event. Imagine Ebola infected upon a child with no immunity: profuse bleeding, unimaginable pain and rapid death is almost certain. The BP event arose from inept Euclidean-derived risk management practices and systems of structural risk signification within the BP realm. Applied to a national host which received the impact, the defenses were inept, in the category of the Ebola target. The outcome is uncontrolled, unstoppable bleeding. Hollywood couldn’t best the visual appeal of this event, with imagery of blood-red seas and shores. It’s not surprising the Obama State is violating constitutional provisions to stop and seize any reporting from the beaches and seas. One visual resonance will end this administration.
Obama’s own ascendancy parallels the Black Swan. Infecting a host with no immunity, his Cloward-Piven technique attacks a hegemonic host with no defense. Kudos to his managers, as their analysis of the greatest deficiency of the United States institution was remarkably accurate. 52% of the population is enticed by redistributive presents (stolen from their neighbors), while the other 48% refuses to believe their opponent is an outlier. Any rationalization will be embraced before the 48% accepts that Obama’s handlers subscribe to a game of absolutes: “If you have a sandwich and I have a gun, I have a sandwich and a gun” is their maxim.

Here are some charts of 1929-1931 compared against 2008-2010.
To put it simply, that CNBC story is a tad over-simplified.

Here’s the thing that bothers me. We are a set of individual peoples inside individual states. The federal government has managed to gain far too much authority over us, but that is our doing.
The day the states say enough or we say enough they are powerless. Sure they can “seize funds” and such. But only if the banks say yes to that, or if the state allows it, or if the police enforce it.
Obama could throw tantrum after tantrum from high above and if we ignored him, that would be that.
I am disappointed in Bobby Jindal and Brewer for those reasons. Nothing would have crippled the feds quicker than Jindal announcing he was digging berms and skimming oil regardless of what the feds thought.
What would they do? Shoot at him? Arrest him? What? Sure they could cut off funds, but how would that look nationwide? Gibbs offering the explanation that the US government cut funding to Louisiana over the fact barges left port without a few life vests.
There are moments in time when history offers people a choice to make a difference or fade into the background noise. George Washington and his brethren were offered that moment and took it.
I wonder if we still have it in us.

The fight is coming. you’d better hope we get to vote in November. I think an engineered event will be tried to force a non election. He’ll at least shut down the internet. Barry is bent on domination and to hell with laws and rights.

He’s both – the worst POTUS and achieving the Cloward-Piven strategy.
I’m getting out of the market this week. Should have gotten out a long time ago.
EVERYONE: READ “OBAMA THE GREAT JOBS KILLER” – IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SIMPLE WORDS – PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
MY FAVORITE LINE: “OBAMA SHOULD BE ON THE FEDS TOP 10 MOST WANTED.”
THAT’S OUGHTA REALLY TICK OFF THE A-HOLE-IN-CHIEF.

Take a look at what Obama has done to our economy in 18 months here:
http://www.commieblaster.com/economy/
There is no doubt that Cloward-Piven is being deployed.
Mike commented:
Even a fool as stupid as Paul Krugman is getting scared. Even he warned of disaster ahead! Obama is punishing the Country he was taught was evil, racist, imperialist and racist. Of course he wants the Gulf to be as bad as possible in order to rahm thru Cap and Tax. He wants a serious terrorist attack to succeed so he can declare martial law! If freedom fails to win back House control this Fall, I truly believe their will be an armed restoration of the Constitution. People are finally beginning to realize Obama is doing this intentionally to destroy the Country. It was almost impossible for people to come to this realization, but it is now common knowledge. Obama took a normal, cyclical, recession and turned it into a Depression in order to “fundamentally change” the USA into a Socialist Hellhole”. He, and his Democrat Party enablers will pay the price at the polls and perhaps corporally.The ANSWER ID 3 FOLD;, CUT SPENDING, CUT TAXES, AND DRILL FOR OIL.

Cloward Piven.
Obama was brought up and trained in this strategy and his goal is fundamentally changing this country. He’s done that already but he is not done.
I am reading the Manchurian President and although I am not a huge fan of this book, one thing has really stuck with me and it applies to Barry’s ties to people who firmly believe in reparations and not only that, they allegedly want a separate section of the US for themselves (think about that for a minute or two, the mexicans want the sw and the reparation wackos want the se) According to the book they want the gulf states. If oil keeps spewing, they just might have a good shot.
Joanne commented:
All you have to do is look at how Obama dealt with the oil crisis in the Gulf to see that he purposely took every opportunity to destroy the economies in the Gulf and the environment and prevented everyone from trying to save them.
The U.S. has put a foreigner over them, and God Almighty forbade his people from doing this. I think the American forefathers were far better versed in the Bible than the Americans of today because in the Constitution they stipulated that only a natural born American, with both American parents, could hold the Office of POTUS. Not only is Obama of an American and a British parent at the time of birth, but he is a Muslim which trumps both in loyalty.

Dennis Erickson commented:
This President is very intelligent. He is an accomplished liar who understands he must lie to win and winning is the end game for him. He wants to change us into a socialistic society because he believes all people should have the same thing everyone else has. However, he is wealthy, went to a prestigious school when he came from a poor background, was indoctrinated by socialistic teachers and YET THE IDIOTS OF THIS COUNTRY VOTED HIM INTO OFFICE! LIVE WITH IT! THANKS GEN-X, YOU FINALLY DID SOMETHING NOTEWORTHY!
