Kow - you are the typical college soon-to-be graduate who thinks you've learned a lot. Your first professors convinced you that you were ignorant and naive, but not to worry, they would enlighten you. You have no idea how ignorant and naive you really STILL are.

You actually have it backwards!! It is the LSOTA (left side of the aisle) that has been lying and using propaganda. You want to compare Klarissa, and others, with Hitler?

Well, I can play that game.

Like Hitler, Obama was elected by making promises to the masses.
After promising to change politics, he proceeds to behave like the consummate politician: "Vote for me and I'll put a chicken in every pot."

Like Hitler, Obama knew how to talk charismatically to the masses and send them to orgasmic heights with his grand visions of hope! "You are oppressed, everyone is against you, and as your leader, I will restore your favor among the nations." Remember, it was in Berlin where Obama sent 200,000 people into a frenzy, just 7 decades after Hitler sent the Germans into a frenzy.

Demonizing? The LSOTA have demonized corporations. The LSOTA forgets, and you yet realize, that corporate America is not just Wall Street, but, Main Street. Look at the trillions that have been recently "lost" in the stock market. Most of that loss has been suffered by middle class America, even lower income people who had a little bit of a retirement fund.

Look at the people that have lost their homes.

The truth be told - I do not wish to compare Obama to Hitler. I can compare most any elected leader to Hitler and find some similarities, but, that really is a cheap shot.

However, I will compare America in 2008 to Germany in 1921 - 1945.

The truth be told - you are partially right.

Germany was suffering economically. Were they victims of an unfair treatment from the rest of Europe that demanded reparations from WW1? Or, were they suffering from the consequences of their own decisions?

Is our current economic situation the result of unfair treatment from outsiders? Or is it the result of our own foolish decisions? NAFTA allowed us buy cheap foreign products, but, NAFTA did not require it. We chose to buy cheap foreign products out of greed. (You may reply that some foreign products are better quality, but, that is for another thread!) This housing crisis is our own making. And Democrats (i.e., Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, and Barnie Frank) must share the blame. Even Obama has stated that many of our problems predate the Bush administration.

The truth is - we elected a president who has let us blame others. Our problems are our own making and no politician or new national economic structure can change that!

No, I am afraid that as you approach the end of your college experience, you "ain't seen nothing yet!"
