The way I see it recently Obama (and others) have been running up all sorts of trial balloons looking for scapegoats. What they are doing is looking for something that sticks, that resonates with a large enough % of the population for people to get behind it. As long as we stay fragmented the way we are pinning it will be really hard (long live the fragments).
Might be worth counting up the responses here to see what gets the most votes (bet our resident disinfo folks do).
Now just cause the first scapegoat is picked by 'popular' demand doesn't mean the rest will be ...keep in mind there is never just one. History does repeat, but not just WWII, you can go back to Romans and find it. Still technology has made it so this time it has the potential to do a lot more more damage than all others combined.

Obama aint gonna decide cause hes a pupet, he seems to be a nice guy but heck he became a polititan. So good work on your thread, but come on, what happened in WWW2 is from a different time and space. It just makes my heart skip a beat when i hear Hitlers name behing thrown around. Got my attention do, so maybe thats why you used it..

Doesn't really matter. Obama needs to go. Soon. Maybe he will resign (as it should be), or maybe he'll have an accident or something. So what ? As long as he and his cronies get out of our government. Sooner the better.

In today's political environment, I think that it's next to impossible to simultaneously retain one's core values and be successful at winning a federal election. I'm not saying that people with good intentions don't try to get elected. It's just that in order to raise the vast amount of money needed to be truly competitive, one will be forced to make commitments to donors that end up distorting their values.

Once elected, the realization sets in that political donations are as necessary to their survival as meat was to the hunter gatherers of the past. This realization drives them into a perpetual fund raising mode that continues to eat away at there original mind set and replaces it with that of the donor. So in reality, we didn't get the person we elected, we got their donors instead.

This process totally distorts the concept of "one man, one vote," even more so than the electoral college, which also needs to be eliminated. Under our current system, the wealthy political donor uses their wealth to multiply the value of their one vote into that of many, while at the same time drowning out the voice of the average american voter.

Corporations can afford to hire a lobbyist who will sit in Washington and constantly relay their needs and concerns to our elected officials on a daily basis. I ask this; "How many ordinary working class americans can afford this level of access to their elected representative?" or "How many americans can afford to take off work and go to D.C. to personally express their needs and concerns to their congressman?" I assure you, the answer to both of these questions is, "Not many, if any at all."

Under the current system, the voice of the average voter has been muffled down to less than that of a grasshopper.

This is why our first step in correcting this problem must be to reform our election process. We must remove the need for massive donations and adopt a publicly funded system that mandates equal campaign funding and relies more heavily on televised debates. Free air time for political debates should be required of all broadcasting corporations as a condition of licensing under FCC rules. We must totally outlaw all forms of paid lobbying and political action committees.
Until such time as we gather the political will to "change" our system, we should fully expect to be the scapegoat for all of our nations woes.
Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources.[1][2][3]
To rescue Germany from the effects of the Great Depression, Nazism promoted an economic Third Position; a managed economy that was neither capitalist nor communist.[15][16] The Nazis accused communism and capitalism of being associated with Jewish influences and interests.[17] They declared support for a nationalist form of socialism that was to provide for the Aryan race and the German nation: economic security, social welfare programs for workers, a just wage, honour for workers' importance to the nation, and protection from capitalist exploitation.[18]

wait a second, am I just getting confused, or is the topic creator implying that Obama is going to blame the Jews for the economy downturns?

I've been saying for months now that the Muslims will be blamed for all that ails America.
They will say that it all started with the economic downturn after the market slide after 9/11.
History repeating itself. They're already gearing up Americans to hate Muslims, just like the Nazi propoganda machine did with the Jews.
At least we can warn people this time, but knowing the average American, people with neither listen nor care until its too late.
