Seriously, how can anyone take anything said by an ass clown like Chavez seriously? If you base your opinion of Obama on such drivel, you have more than your share of your own serious problems. :laugh:

BTW - Can you even define the word, socialist? 😕

They should hook-up.

Another GOP self-ownage thread?

Seems to be a lot of those flying around these days.

Funny when Chavez was calling Bush "the Devil" at the UN a couple years back, all the leftie nutjobs were slobbing his knob. Now that he is calling out Dear Leader, they are saying Chavez is worthless.

So, you suggest just letting GM basically go out of business?

Yes. Just like any other company.

No, sorry, I joined this site last year purely for the tech side (see sig).

I was referring more to the leftist boards ill lurk on for comedic purposes (DU).


So if I can find the thread discussing Chavez at the UN, the same people here who are discrediting him now will be doing the same then?

I love how every thread that is negative towards Obama just gets derailed.

This is a Reuters article.

Seek Help




(oh, and GM was going to close its doors. BO didn't take over a healthy, vibrant, profitable company to make the gov't some quick cash. Chavez nationalized OIL for chrissake. Name a company we've nationalized that was in the black. right.)

Yes. Just like any other company.

Your position would be very destructive to the nation's economy and the people's interests.

It's been said every problem has a solution that is simple, elegant, and wrong.

Spoken like a true student of Chavez.


The one thing I like about you is that you are not afraid to say you are a leftist. (seriously)

If some of the closet leftists could just come out and admit that they like socialism (government taking over and running industry with public funds in this case), we could have a real debate.

Not that I'm defending all of what he's doing, but it's not socialist; I can say that because I have some idea what socialism means and what he is doing.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.

During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.

Chavez has been going around buying up big company after big company *for socialist reasons*, not because the economic crisis has threatened them, he's doing it for the country to own and run them, unlike Obama who is not planning for the US government to permanently run GM - not to even really run it at all, and to gte the government out of it when it's doing better.

Key word in your own 1uote bolded for you.

So, you suggest just letting GM basically go out of business?

If that is true, why is Congress holding hearings on the closing of the dealerships?

Why did they pass a bill for one woman in a coma? It may be politics. It may simply be oversight. Regardless, it doesn't change anything in my post.

Why won't the administration let GM develop cars where is makes economic sense? Why is Congress pushing certain types of vehicles?

Because they have larger national interests - just as some of us shop at local stores paying decent wages rather than Wal-Mart, and pay more to do so.

Every time Congress passes a law saying 'cars have to have seat belts' or 'cars have to have catalytic converters', they are putting the national interest ahead of corporate profit.

The government has all kinds of plans on running GM.

Link?

Here is a better question, what is the administrations exit plan from GM? Answer: they don't have one.

An answer that happens to be wrong. News story:

Washington, Jun 2 (PTI) Despite taking a 60 per cent stake in the General Motors by pumping in an additional USD 30 billion, the White House has said the Obama Administration has a strategy to exit out of any involvement in the company, once it becomes "viable" and "profitable".

"There is an exit strategy. It's to get this company viable. It's to get the economy strengthened so that GM (General Motors) is producing cars that people want to buy, that Americans have the income to buy those cars, to do so in a restructured way that allows them to be profitable more quickly," White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs said.

"And then, in order to protect the investment that taxpayers have made, we would get out of any involvement in the company. That is the exit plan," Gibbs said yesterday...

Earlier in the day, President Barack Obama said that he had no intention to run the company on a day-to-day basis and that he has taken the "extraordinary measure" to become a 60 per cent stakeholder in the company just to save hundreds and thousands of people from losing their jobs.
