President Barack Obama is biased against Republicans, says Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly.
“It's pretty clear that he doesn't like them because he feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege,” O’Reilly said during an interview with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward on "The O’Reilly Factor" show.
“He's never going to say that, but that's the theme that runs through his advisers: the white privilege has to be broken down.”
Woodward disagreed, saying, “I just think he doesn’t agree with Republicans on their agenda. He’s hurting his own cause.”
But O’Reilly didn’t give up. “The Republican agenda, in the president's mind, props up white privilege,” he said. “Therefore, as the social justice champion, he has to tear that down. He doesn't like the white privilege thing, and he doesn't like the Republicans trying to defend it. That's the seed.”

"The danger to America is not just Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

The fourth destructive change has been the hollowing out of the larger American economy. Having lived beyond our means for decades by borrowing heavily from abroad, we have steadily sent jobs and production offshore. In the past decade, the number of high-value jobs in goods production and in service categories like trade, transportation, information technology and the professions has shrunk by 12 percent, to 68 million from 77 million. The only reason we have not experienced a severe reduction in nonfarm payrolls since 2000 is that there has been a gain in low-paying, often part-time positions in places like bars, hotels and nursing homes.
It is not surprising, then, that during the last bubble (from 2002 to 2006) the top 1 percent of Americans — paid mainly from the Wall Street casino — received two-thirds of the gain in national income, while the bottom 90 percent — mainly dependent on Main Street’s shrinking economy — got only 12 percent. This growing wealth gap is not the mark

The day of national reckoning has arrived. We will not have a conventional business recovery now, but rather a long hangover of debt liquidation and downsizing — as suggested by last week’s news that the national economy grew at an anemic annual rate of 2.4 percent in the second quarter. Under these circumstances, it’s a pity that the modern Republican Party offers the American people an irrelevant platform of recycled Keynesianism when the old approach — balanced budgets, sound money and financial discipline — is needed more than ever.
David Stockman, a director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan, is working on a book about the financial crisis.

h4c is calling the The Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, and 47 other religious leaders liars! Just because they agree with what President Obama is trying to do!

AP lies about the Vatican in its headline.
this is not the Vatican.
infallibility ONLY applies to matters of “Faith and Morals”.
This statement wasn’t made by the Pope, but a representative of the Vatican.
Therefore, the statement in no way should be interpreted as being “infallible”.
They shouldn’t have commented at all on “gun control” or our 2nd Amendment. IF they were to comment at all, it should have addressed our Godless society, and our need to return to God to regain our sense of right and wrong as a society.

H4c the republican RIGHT is loosing faith! The Vatican praised President Barack Obama's proposals for curbing gun violence on Saturday, saying they are a "step in a RIGHT direction.

H4c seems your party is loosing faith! The Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, in an editorial said that 47 religious leaders have appealed to members of the U.S. Congress "to limit firearms that are making society pay an unacceptable price in terms of massacres and senseless deaths."
"I am with them," Lombardi declared, lining up the Vatican's moral support in favor of firearm limits
Considering that Americans possess "about 300 million firearms," Lombardi said, "people cannot fool themselves that it is enough to limit the number and use (of guns) to impede in the future horrendous massacres like that of Newtown that shook the conscience of America and world, as well as that of children and adults. "

He was referring to the Newtown, Conn., elementary school where 20 children and six adults were killed by a sole attacker last month.
"But it would be worse to be satisfied with words" of condemnation alone, Lombardi said. And while massacres are "carried out by unbalanced or hate-driven persons, there is no doubt that they are carried out with firearms," the Vatican spokesman said.
Lombardi renewed Vatican appeals for disarmament and encouragement for measures to fight "the production, commerce and contraband of all types of arms," an industry fueled by "enormous economic and power interests."

“We of the Democrat party must use that whatever means to move forword...only exception, no guns for us. Therefore, we must level the playing field by taking EVERYONE's guns....and we WILL move forword on that. For the Party.”
Oh please JackAaah, do you really know how many Democrats in your Party actually pack guns? Sen. Dianne Feinstein for years has but I do concede to you that they will get a pass when going through the metal detector. I’ll bet old Barney Frank packs heat too! Hummm?

JB, I haven't seen anger in Jack's posts. He just seems cloyingly persistent to me.
That "Votes For Gifts" thing? It's infectious.
Even the kids have tried something similar at our house. "Majority rules" or something like that.
I tell them that just wanting things doesn't get them for you. But noooo.
All they have to do is cite one of Jack's phrases and they think they deserve everything, without working usually.
Maybe instead of angry, we'll just call Jack "armed and dangerous." I'm sure that'll appeal to his ego, right?

WA - I applaud your deception and dishonesty as portraying Stockman as the Republican party spokesman. I know they did not award him that "honor", yet you and I must use ANY means to justify the ends.....in moving us forword. And our Democrat Party control will only move forword if we use whatever means....

jack here is the short version for your limited attention span! ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- "How my G.O.P. destroyed the U.S. economy." Yes, that is exactly what David Stockman, President Ronald Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a recent New York Times op-ed piece, "Four Deformations of the Apocalypse."
Get it? Not "destroying." The GOP has already "destroyed" the U.S. economy, setting up an "American Apocalypse."
