Cramer, appearing on MSNBC’s Feb. 2 “Morning Joe,” drew comparisons between remarks between the first head of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin, and Obama. Obama criticized Wall Street’s moneymaking on Jan. 30, when he said there would be a time “for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses. Now’s not that time. And that’s a message that I intend to send directly to them.”

Cramer said that was similar to Lenin’s writings. “Let me tell you something, we heard Lenin,” Cramer said. “There was a little snippet last week that was, ‘Now is not the time for profits.’ Look - in Lenin’s book, ‘What Is to Be Done?’ is simple text of what I always though was for the communists, it was remarkable to hear very similar language from ‘What Is to Be Done?’ which is we have no place for profits.”

How soon does Obama move on to the Stalinist mode of communism?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

As soon as he can.

Soon if he keeps moving this way. Hopefully I'll have a nice spot on the rice paddies with the rest of you guys.  :-)

Too bad about Cramer getting fired. He seemed like a good guy.

Well, if it proves too stressful...maybe never.

Apparently 2 weeks in and all ready the little dear had to "escape."

Cramer's career has not been the same since he left "Seinfeld."

The lovely thing about the design of the United States and the spirit instilled in its normal citizens is that the Confused One can say anything he wants, as stupid and ridiculous as that talk may be, but he is not empowered to enact anything.  He simply does not have the power, he can't get the power, and he doesn't have any resources to force anyone to do anything.

As much as "freepers" and the like enjoy blustering about the lack of backbone inside the conservative majority in the nation, it really isn't the reality.  When push comes to shove, Obama and his communist friends can go pound sand.

The Big Zero may have been elected because of a message of "change" (along with a couple of million votes manufactured in strategic places), but since that "change" was never defined or explained, he and his ilk are up against a vast number of folks who were foolishly allowed to define "change" for themselves, individually without direction, in their mostly clueless brains.

It has been only two weeks and we are already seeing how reality is clashing with the imagination.  Most of those imaginations were ready for a Utopia-lite scenario with freedom and justice for all of those imaginary downtrodden and hopeless folks they hear about but never see.  They were not planning on, nor will they accept, communism-lite with "change" that actually touches their own lives.

I don't know if Obama The Puppet-Idiot will survive a year.  His "administration" may turn out to be "historic" in more ways than one.

He's well on his way.  Give it a few months.

Didn't you get the memo.  It wasn't even encrypted.

The memo's probably at the bottom of my 'In-box' somewhere.  I've been busy shuttling my wife to doctor's appointments all last week.

Wait for me guys!  I'll be locked and loaded in 10.

We will give you 15, but you gotta take point.

I hope your wife is doing well.

Point it is; you just keep yer eyes open and watch my flanks this time.  Not the wiggle of my ass.

DefiantSix (actual) is doing better.  She's been on IV antibiotics for a staff infection that came back the moment she was off the oral antibiotics.  Fortunately this little bastard is only pennicillin resistant; not full blown MERSA.  It should be dead like a DUmmy's dreams for hope and change in an 0bama/FEMA slave labor camp, once this antibiotic course is done on Sunday.
