Statistically speaking, the answer is quite likely yes: Wherever possible President Barack Obama has sought to dilute or disguise the ideological war his administration has been waging against capitalism over the past twenty-seven months. As a result, his massive bureaucratic bailout became an “economic stimulus.” His takeover of the financial markets was labeled “Wall Street Reform.” His socialized medicine plan became the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” act (which
Republican's $352 million cuts to a $1.5 trillion budget causes high-risk pregnancy laden government workers to lose jobs, house, and possibly baby [UPDATED]
At least, that’s what the new Obama campaign is going to peddle — along with the idea that the economy is finally starting to turn, thanks to Obamas’s policies, and that to switch course now and fail to re-elect Obama would lead to a reversion of the economic horrors of the Bush administration and its 4.7% unemployment. But he’s here to help, if you’ll only let him: Of course, Obama’s
