Another Body Blow… Trump Goes After Obama’s Close Ties to Crook Rezko
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, April 11, 2011, 10:41 PM
The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.
The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.
This great ad described Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook.
Unfortunately, the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.
Today Donald Trump went after Obama’s close ties to convicted criminal Tony Rezko.
IB Times reported:
President Obama “never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko,” said Donald Trump on Fox News.
“People should look into that one,” he added.Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a “slum landlord.”
Rezko is am Illinoisan political fundraiser who was convicted for fraud and bribery in 2008. He was accused of using his political position to extort money from businesses seeking contracts from the Illinois Teachers System Board and the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
Back in the 1990s (before Rezko’s offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.
In 2005, Rezko’s wife bought a lot adjacent to a house Obama purchased for $625,000 and subsequently sold a part of it to Obama. The deal generated much controversy back in Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Damn straight! HillaryCare was going to reward Perot the bazillions $$$ electronic health ID cards contract for his company EDS.
Trump votes Democrat, so he by rights should run as a Democrat to knock Obama out if he was serious. His public utterances are ,” TRUMP this and TRUMP that.” Sorta of a more peppy, yet narcissist Bob Dole third person affectation. If Trump runs as Republican OR independent, then his purpose is clear to keep Obama in offce by either screwing with the GOP rank and file or pulling a CLinton spilt the vote.
Notice the difference? Palin talks about issues, not herself. Trump can’t get past ME ME ME LOOK at ME, I – I – I TrumpTrumpTrump, when he’s not off oogling potenitial new young girlfriends to soothe his growing old terrors.
This is more than a bad joke, our nation’s future is at stake and we still have egotistical FOOLS enabling thugs.

LOL !
It is funny.
But the hype is going overboard yet again on our side.
Trump is our savior?
Just because he offers a little lip service to some questions about Obama?
This is glaring in regards to some who consider themselves Conservative, as too many from Our side seem to be all too eager to JUMP.
Reminds one of the reactionary nonsense which undermined Our own interests after 2004.
The constant running towards the next craze is decidedly not Conservative in nature, and it seems the game is often focused on a fashionable effort – lacking substance.
I enjoy Trumps fun, but his garbage about running as an Independent is more primer for folly.
We shall see.

Unfortunately, I think Trump can win over B.O., but I am not sure Palin can. She would be so savagedly attacked that she would be almost unelectable. Remember . . . 52% of the electorate were duped in 2008. It can happen again.
However, if Trump gets into a 3 party fight, B.O. definitely will be re-elected.
NO THIRD PARTIES . . . EVER AGAIN!

AuntieMadder,
If you are on this thread, please tell me why you think ‘American Thinker’ scrubbed my thought provoking posts under the Seth Forman article: ‘Donald Trump Scores an Important Victory… Over the Media?’
You made a brief comment to me around the 7:15pm mark, so I know you read what I had posted. They even scrubbed your comment to me. Including the flame comment from ‘FeralCat’ who didn’t seem to like what I wrote but didn’t bother to explain why.
I find this all rather disturbing. We all have learned that the enemy strikes out fast and furious when we get too close to the truth.

Trump was a registered Dem. until 2009.
“Since the 1990 U.S. elections, Trump contributed to the campaigns of both Republicans, such as John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush[66] and such Democratic Party candidates as Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Charles Rangel.” -Wikipedia

RyanH commented:
I agree Trump won’t run. He is having fun fearlessly exposing Obama for who he really is. Trump doesnt take any BS and this is an insult to anyone’s intelligence. The liberal media has covered up for this President and we are getting hurt. Trump is the only one with guts who can do this and he’s a real Patriot for it. If only the wimpy cowards (including some republicans who are too scared to speak upo against Obama) would stand up for us instead of their political(or TV) career we wouldn’t have this problem. But we do. And Trump is the only one standing up for us. It’s called courage of conviction. I don’t think he is doing for publicity. He doesnt need it at this stage of his life.His businesses are doing very well. He is doing it from his heart. God bless Donald Trump.

The media was too busy polishing Obama’s popsickle in 2008, and they’re more than willing to, um, think they can recover by being tougher this time.
We all know it’s a crock, but if someone’s willing to fill the vacuum – like Donald – let’s go.
All of it.

Petrakore#25
I have believed for a very long time now that Obama was deliberately chosen to keep us inflamed and watching HIM. He is enough of a criminal and egoist to do the distraction/damage job perfectly. I think the leaders of foreign nations….the Arabs, Russia, and China are the brains to this plan and Soros is the key man in the US to implement this destruction. They will probably murder Obama in the future when the destruction has reached a desired level and rid themselves of this very useful fool. Since the media (owners) are complicit in this attack, we have little to eye the truth with. They have their ducks in a row.
averagemelon commented:
If there is any biblical reference here to the end times, “The Beast” is a group of ten people, seven of them being leaders. The smallest of these leaders takes the helm. One receives a head injury but survives. Satan himself arises from “the abyss”, some deep hole. The numbers 666 represent something about him that occurs three times in 6. Soros is spelled the same front or backward just like 666.
This is all speculation. Play with it. You were meant to.
Meg commented:
Maybe Trump is still supporting Hillary?
Khan Krum commented:
Team Obama (whose Ministry of Propaganda = the left-wing media) is pulling out the old “oh, the birthers, yawn” response to Trump’s charges about Obama’s dubious paper trail, but now people are saying “wait a second, let me hear what he has to say.” The longer Trump hammers them on it and things like the Tony Rezko connection, the more likely arrows will find their mark, so to speak.
Let’s not forget, we not only want to bring Obama down, but Big Journalism as well. This can be done in one fell swoop — KILLING TWO SNAKES WITH ONE HOE.
eden commented:
I agree with those that don’t think he is actually going to run. He has a TV show on Sunday nights now and it will run until a couple weeks before he says he plans to announce. He doesn’t obviously plug it, but it gets mentioned. Free advertising.
He’s on a power trip now because he knows his driving the dialogue, and lets face it, he’s “Mr. Last Word”. I applaud his effort.

Petrakore #25
Personally I think this is tied into islam. The left is in bed with islam. They use each other and the left doesn’t understand that in the end they too will be dhimmis along with the rest of us. The left had to find a “well educated, goodlooking” muslim and they did. They thought he was just what they needed. Add to that the media who are fools all by themselves and voila that’s what we got. This is a very dangerous situation we find ourselves in. Zippy isn’t doing much of anything right but he’s working on cementing a caliphate, and that part seems to be working just fine.
So even if people think Donald Trump is unsuitable as president, that may very well be the case but for now let us get behind him for Pete’s sake. Unless you can come up with another billionaire with a big mouth.
Just my two pennies.

squeaky commented:
as i was listening to trump [briefly] i couldn’t help but notice as he talked about the disasterous economy he talked about the past decade leaving out the clinton reign. is he clearing the deck for hillary? kick the fake gold veneer off of everything obama. people can say all kinds of things ranging from the impossible to the possible but someone brought up an idea of obama being brought in to break the place up – something hillary couldn’t or wouldn’t do. add an influencial black to the mix and relegate obama back to being not black enough and maybe voila. obama has more to watch from his own side – he also has an expiration date.
squeaky commented:
trump can also lead the party far out onto a tree limb only to remove himself from contention. then you find yourself facing a what now moment. putting all your eggs in one basket.
Joan of Argghh! commented:
If he’ll just go after Valerie Jarrett and expose her for what she is, and keep her uncomfortably in the spotlight, he’ll prove to me that he’s shrewd enough to lead.
She is the power behind the throne and is enjoying the anonymity that Obama is pining for. Hammer down on her, get her to talk, comb through her past, find out who she’s talking to, and pin it ALL on her.
Iconoclast commented:
I hope The Donald continues to remind the public of the factors the dim-rat agitprop team (a.k.a. “traditional media) quickly suppressed from 2004 on. Because of his celebrity and wealth, it is difficult, & probably impossible, for the leftist cheerleaders to ignore his efforts.
That said, I’d be terribly hard pressed to vote for him. Like the charlatan in the Oval Office, he is first and foremost a narcissist utterly focused on himself and feeding his gargantuan conceits. If Trump should be the GOP nominee, where, pray tell, could a debate be held? Even the Super Dome has too little space to accommodate both their egos simultaneously.
Not to mention the fact Trump is on record as being a long term dim-rat who actively supported his fellow opportunist in 2008. Do the names Crist, Specter, Jeffords & Murkowski not ring a bell here? By all means, encourage him embarrass and bleed the party animal as the toreador for the eventual GOP nominee, but mistake him for main act and don’t embrace him simply because he’s ‘different’ & waves a bright flag in front of our eyes . . . that didn’t work too awfully well in 2008, ya know?
MN Jim commented:
Minnesota has a bad habit of the Republican primary loser running as an independent and splitting the vote. That (plus a lot of fraud) is how we got Al Franken and current Gov Dayton, who incredibly campaigned on “I’m going to raise your taxes.” Both got only 40% of the vote; 60% wanted someone else.
Trump is doing a good job of stirring the puddin” for whoever eventually runs, as long as he does not try to run as independent.
listingstarboard commented:
The most damning act by Obama is the use of a fraudulent SSN from Connecticut–he used it on is Selective Service registration at age 19–the SSN belonged to a Connecticut man that died at age 19–Bill ayers bragged openly about the expertise of the Weather Underground in providing phony ID for its operatives, and that the most bulletbroof ID was a SSN. Trump needs to start hammering at this if he really wants to bring down Obama.

Well maybe use the BHO name that is not legal but known. I would like to see how Mr. Trump would poll against the fraud. It will get other blogs to pick up on it and get Mr. Trump to really challenge the fraud. Remember how Barry refused to debate McCain. Let us see how he would get by with not debateing Mr. Trump. That would be the time to wake up a lot of people for the run in November 2012 if he beats Mr. Trump. Boy that would be one big election. Trump/democrat vs. ? Republican
victoria_29 commented:
Trump is providing a service to the American people. Luckily he has the power to get information out that the main stream media ignored. And to some of you that said the GOP didn’t have balls to use, they tried, notice this video is the GOP’s. The main stream media was so invested in Obama last election that they covered up, with Trump they don’t have the power to cover his big mouth up.
Would I vote for Trump-hell no-that is a vote for Obama or maybe another poster is right & he is trying to knock obama out for Hillary-who had too many of her own bones to go after obama this way. But either way as late as Nov 2010 & Feb 2011 Trump was donating to seriously progressive liberals-not just Dems BUT really progressive ones. Sorry, where I come from it is sort of stupid to arm your enemies & anyone that does so is my enemy too.

Ariel commented:
The question I have is what purpose is being served by Trump pushing these issues 18 months prior to the 2012 elections, other than his own self-aggrandizement? This may endear him to staunch Obama critics, but it will have little impact on the election a year and a half away. The real danger lies in the fact that should Trump come up empty, he will have played the spoiler to any one else bringing up the same issues in the future.
This is why politically damaging information is usually held back until right before an election, the proverbial October surprise, where it can do the maximum amount of harm. It is also why you don’t shoot at the enemy until they are in range of your fire, otherwise all you do is expend all your ammunition prior to the real confrontation when you need it most.
Of course, Trump may simply be prepping the battlefield for Hillary, since he has such a long standing relationship with the Clintons. Should he succeed in exposing Obama, Hillary would be perfectly suited to step in and run as the first woman presidential candidate, another historic democrat “first”, like their “first” African-American president. This of course would relegate the Republican party to the party of “rich white guys” in the eyes of the American electorate, thus ensuring their minority status in perpetuity.
Mark commented:
#6 Opie. The question is whether or not Trump is enought of an egotist to run as an independent and split the vote. He has already run through the trophy wife thing. Now will his midlife crisis make him run for president. I can’t see him taking the VP slot FOR ANYONE. It is fun to watch him put shots across Obama’s bow. None of the Republicans have the balls. Gasp! I will be denounced as a RACIST! Take the gloves off with Obama.
Ginger commented:
bg…… It would be worth another try! Remember Hillary (which I do not like) is WHITE and Barry is BLACK…well white/black/arab/ who knows. The “Race” card won’t be played in the November 2012 election with the kenyan fraud gone!

http://www.legalinfo.com/legal-news/wrongful-death-lawsuit-filed.html
wrongful death lawsuit has been filed in Cook County by the parents of a toddler who was recently killed after an iron gate fell on him and crushed him. The incident occurred last week at the Cabrini-Green rowhouses.
The project’s management firm has been accused of negligence, with the lawsuit claiming that the gate fell on the child and crushed him because of faulty hinges. An attorney for the mother of the deceased three year old boy said: “Two of the three hinges that kept this heavy gate in place were rusted through.”
The lawsuit is seeking more than fifty thousand dollars from the private firm that manages the rowhouses, Urban Property Advisers. According to reports the gate had failed a building code inspection, and an investigation into the death is to continue.
The mother’s attorney went on to state: “The thing speaks for itself. The moral to the story is a 300- or 400-pound iron gate that’s 6½-feet high, 5½-feet wide just doesn’t fall down on top a 3-year-old boy when they’re playing without negligence.”

Gary commented:
Trump said something the other day about announcing in early June.
From the comments above,
it’s true that Trump should run in the democrat primary, not the Republican one.
If he goes independent, we are almost certainly looking at Obama again. Obama has 40% of the vote locked up tight between the leftists, liberals, and so-called independents who always vote democrat.
Our side traditionally counts on 40% of voters being self-described conservatives. but that goes out the window when there is a “conservative” shill conning away a certain percent of this vote.
I hope he runs on the D ticket and I hope he knocks Obama out.
We could do way worse with a D president.
But if he runs as Ind., we are looking at a massive get out the vote message to our base to dissuade them from voting for Trump.
Also,
don’t forget that in 2000, the biggest thing W was talking about in the campaign was how he would end the Clinton policy of treating China like a strategic partner and start treating it like a strategic competitor. As soon as 9/11 happened we never heard another peep about China. That’s 11 more years China has been bilking us unchecked.
I bought a can opener at Wal-mart the other day, the hand type. I locked it on the can and made one turn of the handle before it fell apart and the handle came off in my hand.
When I was a kid, the junk products said Made in Japan, sometimes Made in Taiwan, but we laughed at the cheap junk and bought quality goods. Today, the Made in China label is the only game in town. Three successive administrations have seen to it.
As terrible as the war on terror and the coming war with Islam are, we have got to get this China thing worked out. Full disclosure, I lived in China for a number of years. They aren’t dithering on their plans to unseat us. We’re the only ones taking a full week to debate whether to cut 2 days or 5 days’ interests payments worth of spending from an annual budget. Well, at least I can speak Chinese. Good luck to everybody else.

China and Libya: What’s the Real Story?
[(3) For China, the problems posed by the popular uprising in Libya are far more about Chinese construction projects and their use of Chinese labor, than Chinese companies' oil investments. Over the past four years, China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) has itself signed at least $2.67 billion of construction contracts in Libya. In 2008 alone, Chinese companies signed US$10.05 billion in contracts for 180 construction, engineering and labor service projects in Libya (they also reported turnover of US$750 million, which suggests most of these projects started fairly recently). This was far larger than any other location in Africa.
Construction firms doing projects in telecoms, railways, and other infrastructure, seem to have employed some 36,000 Chinese workers. This was bound to raise resentment from Libya's unemployed youth. Despite high levels of unemployment, wages are also high in Libya, and few local workers speak foreign languages. Comments on a Tripoli Post story on this issue suggest that use of foreign workers is a widespread response by foreign companies in Libya. Despite this, many Libyans do find employment in this sector. The Economist Intelligence Unit's 2008 report on Libya cited the Monitor Group, a US consulting firm, which estimated in 2005 that some 600,000 to 800,000 people were employed in Libya's construction industry. It is likely that the vast majority of these people were Libyan. But the attacks on Chinese work camps in Libya bring home the risks of a business plan that relies on imported labor in repressive states with high unemployment.]

George W. Bush on China
George W. Bush on Foreign Policy
scroll down to George W. Bush on China, ie:
[Abandoned ambiguity with China to horror of own diplomats
By the 1990s, �strategic ambiguity� had long ceased to make any sense at all. But Bush�s speech on April 24, 2001 stuck to the familiar talking points on China: China is not an enemy; we support the One China policy that denies Taiwan�s right to statehood; the surveillance flights will resume. But when interviewed, Bush dropped the talking points and spoke with startling candor:
Q: If Taiwan were attacked by China, do we
have an obligation to defend the Taiwanese?
A: Yes, we do. And the Chinese must understand that.
Q: With the full force of the American military?
A: Whatever it took to help Taiwan defend herself.
�Strategic ambiguity� was dead. Bush�s words uncorked a whole jugful
of complaints from allies, commentators, and foreign-policy wisemen.
Unprompted by his own administration-and to the horror of much of
his own foreign-policy bureaucracy-Bush was informing the Chinese
and the world that the fire marshals had returned to duty in East Asia.]
eh, like i’ve been saying for well over a decade now, Bush was more or less
a lone Salmon swimming upstream against just about everyone, and i dare
say, including his father..

Trump is not going to run as an Independent. He’s not stupid.
He may be telling the media this right now, but everyone knows, especially the Don, that would only re-elect Obama. I think he is saying this to shake up the old GOP a little bit, and to get more media attention.
He will have to support the Republican nominee, if he does not win the Primary.
And as far as the ones on here saying he is a joke??? Are you kidding me???
Who are you supporting at this point then, that is stronger?
Newt Gingrich?? Newt is going to have to get off the couch and get tougher, and stop acting distancing himself from the Tea Party so much. You can’t have it both ways.
Mitt Romney?? The same thing I said about Newt.
The Rupublican nominee will not suceed by trying to play both sides. They are going to have to stand firmly with the Tea Party….or they are toast.
The primary process will vet out who is the best.
All this talk about foreign policy experience….get real. The whole idea that’s been shoved upon us, that a President has to be an expert on foreign policy, in order to be President is hogwash. You don’t have to be Newt Gingrich or John Bolton to know how to handle the World.
This is why a President has a TEAM of experts, working together, to handle these complex issues. From Sarah Palin to John Bolton and Newt Gingrich…I don’t think being an expert in foreign policy is the most important attribute for our country right now. Foreign policy, can be perfected on the job with a good team.
The most important thing for the United States right now, is a President that will be a true conservative, and firmly follow the Constitution, and not just talk about it.
If Gingrich and Romney are better than Trump, then they better start standing up, and get off the couch….because right now…Trump is the only one showing leadership.

Barry’s sperm donor had to have produced a birth certificate in order to marry Anna right? I’ve seen divorce papers but no marriage papers. Can people get married without birth certificates even in HI in 1961? Also If you want to marry somebody from outside the country I think they need to furnish their BC plus provide proof, by affidavit of their marital status? Was it possible in HI in 1961/63 to get a divorce without ever getting married?
Anna by herself could never transfer “Natural Born Citizen” status to her offspring from any other person except another citizen of the US.

it wasn’t about Bush’s Taiwan/China policy
Taiwan has always been a red herring for China.
While building up massive military across the strait from Taiwan, their ultimate goal on that front is to threaten, cajole, and entice Taiwan all at once so that it comes back into the fold without a war. There’s no question that if China launched its war on Taiwan, the war would be over in a day or two and the US and the UN would be dithering on what stern language to use in a statement. What stops China is public opinion blowback and the remote possibility that the US has given nuclear or other WMD technology to Taiwan and they just might use it on Beijing at the last desperate our.
My concern over China vis a vis Clinton, Bush, and now Obama and whoever follows him is over the damage their unfair trade practices is doing to our economy. It would be one thing if we hadn’t already shut down our factories and employed the Chinese workers, but there is no way we could restore production in the vast industries that fled in any short amount of time. Actually there is currently no alternative in the world for a number of goods. We’d be in trouble without China. Not to mention their using of our own money from the unfair trade practices (and thanks Bill Clinton for giving China permanent most favored nation trade status with no strings attached, and thanks for letting China join the WTO under its own advantageous terms) to finance our rapid slide into irrecoverable debt.
I’m so irritated right now about this 38 billion dollars. They went into more than 38 billion dollars more debt by interest alone in the time they took bargaining for this number, not to mention the actual daily debt. China is rolling in the floor laughing. We’ve been calling on them to adjust their currency valuation for twenty years. It has only budged in recent years and not by nearly enough. US goods in China cost between 5 and 10 times their actual cost, so they sit on the shelves. Only westerners buy the stuff when they get homesick. Right beside it on the shelf is stuff that costs less than 1/10 the price made domestically. That’s what the Chinese buy. In America it’s the same case. We’re all buying the Chinese goods. No American company can hope to compete once the Chinese break into the market. (and don’t think Chinese cars aren’t headed this way) Now that this little money trap has given China the largest US currency reserve in the world, they are calling for a new global currency, and they have the power to flood the markets with dollars and to flood it with our bonds. This could really put our economy in permanent tailspin. The damage to them would be minimal because they have the same relationship with Germany, France, Japan, S Korea, and numerous other countries. They’ll bounce back quickly like they did in the 2008 crisis and we’ll spend years trying to straighten it out. But by then China will be calling the shots in the world, not America.
That is why we need a China hawk in the WH sooner rather than later.
Gary commented:
PS
I like Trump’s idea about charging Iraq and other countries we’ve helped. We’ve already taken the beating internationally for going into Iraq just for the oil when we didn’t receive that actual benefit. We really should present them with a bill.
That is, after we cut off the bleeding of US tax dollars that are sent to other countries as aid.
How many of these dollars could go if the taxpayers had to vote on it in a referendum? Not too many. So in effect, the government is taxing more dollars than it needs (as evidenced by the giveaways) and instead of returning it to us, is blowing it on “goodwill efforts” in other countries. A global redistribution of wealth.
So why are we going broke again??

thank you, and sorry, i just meant Taiwan as an example..
and albeit it should be, nothing is as simple as ‘good v evil’ these days..
i’m old
, but as a youngster i always thought China would be the mighty
dragon that rises up and slays US.. now, though who can say for certain it
will never happen, i’m not so sure, as it seems more like what has risen from
within US, namely Obama and his IslaMarxist cohorts, of which China can no doubt be counted on as an ideal example in the NWO, well, as far as the Elites are concerned at any rate..
thanks again for your insight as well, and hope your irritation settles..
however, you had better fasten your seat belt cause we’re in for a long
bumpy ride after Obama, that’s if there ever is an after Obama.. *sigh*

I really don’t think Obama is the Antichrist. He simply is not smart enough nor manipulative enough to be Satan himself. He is, however, good enough to be in the army of antichrists. If anything, and if this is truly the End Times, he might be the false prophet. The jury on all of this is still out for me.
It’s true that God never specified “when” the head wound would occur..before or after public recognition…but none of that really matters to me anyway. They are details for the non-believers/half-arsed Christians to tax themselves over.
What truly ALARMS me, is the CALIBER of the people of this nation. Seriously folks, Trump? He is another “light” version (not by color, mind you) of Obama…the same branding and celebrity without the deep conviction nor scrutinizing of John Q Public. IT’S ABOUT PERSONAL INTEGRITY. That is how a leader is chosen! The President can fill every position imaginable around himself with competent people to do the jobs required but REAL leadership EXUDES from the candidate HIS ENTIRE LIFE. There is probably an adequate place for Trump in politics but surely NOT the PRESIDENCY.

A warning from SmartMoney:
…Trump professes to support free trade, yet proposes a 25% tax on imported goods from China to level what he sees as trade imbalances in the global economy. It’s a contemptuous proposal which would immediately punish Americans by raising the price on virtually everything we buy.
He has also called for regulators to stop European stock operator Deutsche Börse’s ( DBOEY ) planned $9.5 billion buyout of the NYSE Euronext ( NYX: 37.85, +0.26, +0.69% ) , telling Fox Business Network, “I don’t want foreign countries owning the New York Stock Exchange.” If he was the president, he added, he “wouldn’t even have allowed the discussions to take place.” In a capitalist country, shareholders make that kind of decision, not regulators . Trump sees a clear role for government picking winners and losers in the economy, just the same as the previous presidents he claims to critique.
On top of that, he has pushed for a one-time 14.25% tax on the rich as a means of supplementing funding for Social Security and Medicaid, along with universal health care . Philosophically, those positions are indistinguishable from the anti-capitalist political establishment now in power.
Trump, of course, is free to run and support whatever platform he wishes, as are his many fans across the country. But despite his personal fortune, they should know his proposals and political philosophy are far from capitalist. Punitive and redistributionist taxes, centralized planning, barriers to trade and an entitlement “social safety net” are all ideas straight out of Karl Marx , not John Galt .

“…the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.”
The RNC and the McCain campaign did their part in protecting Barky, too.
Muriel Katz commented:
Trump has been asking the same questions so many of us have been repeatedly asking…and is placing this information before a ‘now-awake’ American public. And for this I applaud him and wish him even greater success at refreshing the public mind of so many things the news media has either played down or completely ignored regarding Obama.
HOWEVER…A THIRD party will not effect the liberal left one whit. All a third party will do is divide Conservative votes between the Republican Party and the Independent third party.
AND with this happening, A THIRD PARTY WILL ENSURE THAT OBAMA WINS IN 2012!
We cannot have a third party for this upcoming and so-very-important presidential election! But we ALSO must have a STRONG Conservative candidate for the Republican nomination…and, sorry, but Kerry, McCain, and all those other tired horses the GOP keeps trotting out before us will NEVER win against Obama.
Personally, I’d love to see a Herman Cain/Allen West ticket because these two intelligent and Constitution-loving men would wipe the floor with Obama in ANY debate! And Obama couldn’t even use the race card against them!
But I don’t believe that the Rinos in the Republican Party want anyone to win…except Obama. No matter HOW sweet-sounding their words are to us! And I think they’re going to nominate one of their old tired horses.
HOWEVER, I vote for HERMAN CAIN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012!
We’ve been voting in white candidates for years…even RE-ELECTING these career crooks! I believe we need to let the Black community have another crack at this. Many were deceived the first time around by Obama’s words…and many also voted for Obama because only God knew when there’d ever be another Black candidate.
THIS time the Black community has awakened just like the rest of us and would have the chance to vote for a TRUE Conservative who loves God, his family,and his country…has an excellent business track record…is intelligent and articulate…keeps his cool under pressure…and can debate Obama into the ground!
It’s more than just important that we win in 2012…it’s CRUCIAL! And Herman Cain WOULD win against Obama…and would be more than capable of leading our country onto it’s rightful tracks again.
If you’re not knowledgeable about Herman Cain, please go to http://www.hermancain.com and check him out. This man would DESTROY Obama in an election!
