Obama On Fox Thursday

[Excelsior]

WOW... I can really respect what Mr. OReilly just wrote there

I can't...see how he included:

As far as philosophy goes, Senator Obama is convinced that the federal government should be in control of income distribution and, to some extent, should regulate the free marketplace. That is a classic liberal position, and Obama promotes it well.

The Senator also believes that poor Americans have a basic right to free health care and monetary supplements from the government with no strings attached. The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefit as a hard working, laid off worker would. Again, classic liberalism. No judgments made regarding entitlements.

Thats him putting the right wing spin on everything.

No that is him putting a centrist spin on the issue. I think he is right on the drug abuser should not get the same benfits as a laid off worker. You are just so far to the left anything near the center seems right wing to you.

Wow, so you have me all figured out, right?

Lets look at what O'Reily wrote: "that the federal government should be in control of income distribution"

The republicans do not differ on this at all. If they did, they would either be in favor of regressive income tax or no income tax at all.

"should regulate the free marketplace" Sorry, but some regulation of the marketplace is ideal. Only idiots thing a completely deregulated marketplace is a good thing.

"The Senator also believes that poor Americans have a basic right to free health care and monetary supplements from the government with no strings attached. The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefit as a hard working, laid off worker would. Again, classic liberalism. No judgments made regarding entitlements."

Should the drug abuser not have assistance in getting clean? Or should he/she be kicked to the curb? It is in society's interest to get that person clean and employed so they can contribute to society.

"On the foreign policy front, Obama has convinced me that he is tough but cautious. He rose up quickly because he vehemently opposed the Iraq war. But now I see a man who understands the victory that has taken place in Iraq. I don't believe he wants to screw that up. I could be wrong. "

Victory? Is that why we're still spending billions over there and still have tens of thousands of troops and private personnel stationed there? If we have already won, why the big stink about pulling out?

"You can decide if that's change we should believe in, but keep in mind that the unintended consequences of government interference in the marketplace are impossible to predict."

The same can be said for the unintended consequences of deregulation in the marketplace. So again, this is just right wing gibberish.

I saw the Obama interview special scheduled for 8:00 EDT & 11:00 EDT tonight on Fox News. The 8:00 show is followed by Governor Sarah Palin: An American Woman.

No, not the whole world, just the ones that are trying to kill us.

I know someone who wanted to kill over 4,000 American troops in 2003 forward. We didn't stop him, though.
