   If President Obama is not hurting the economy on purpose, why did he appoint John Holdren as his top science and technology adviser? He knew full well that Holdren has long advocated the following:

   “Resources must be diverted from frivolous and wasteful uses in overdeveloped countries to filling the genuine needs of underdeveloped countries. This effort must be largely political, especially with regard to our overexploitation of world resources, but the campaign should be strongly supplemented by legal and boycott action against polluters and others whose activities damage the environment.”
   – John P. Holdren and co-authors

   I have a feeling his life by high school was controlled to the point of his mentors steering him to just the right “friends” of like mindedness, so as to reinforce the ideology of their work in progress.

   It’s more likely that he didn’t attended school in the US, even if someone were directing his associations it would yield a few acquaintenances.No one remembers him, there are no prom photos, no one, male or female says they dated him or traveled with him or even played on the playground with him. Obama is a construct, nothing real about him at all.

   Anyone with sense, vision, and an awareness of events knows everything our pResident does is on purpose.

   Little or nothing of anything significant he does is actually accidental.

   He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is intentionally destroying this country, and there are a number of people and organizations helping him do it.

   Only if those whom Obama was acquainted just happened to be involved in the same “construction” program which developed him, and they either deliberately keep mum or have been programmed so they don’t recall him.

   Obama is a construct, nothing real about him at all

   Its looking that way. I’m also thinking he was unlikely to be the only project on which his mentors worked.

   Scary, if not improbable, theories here.

   Obama’s only hope in November is that voters have incredibly short memories.

   Can’t fault him for that approach, really; if there are two great weaknesses of the American People — and by extension, the American electorate — they are:

   1. A short attention span; and
   2. A short memory.

   Obama’s going to need to cultivate both of those weaknesses if he’s going to have any chance of re-election.

   Holdren also co-authored the following:

   “The need for de-development presents our economists with a major challenge. They must design a stable, low-consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than in the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided for every human being.”

   Holdren’s recommended solution is to “change unsustainable practices, reduce excessive material consumption, slow down population growth”. Is it really a surprise that the Obama administration wants to “de-develop” America? They are actively fighting against coal and oil production, putting numerous regulations on the backs of businesses, redistributing wealth, mandating free contraceptives, and seeking to ration life saving drugs and health services.

   It’s not an accident. It’s part of the plan. The left just prefers to do these things by deception rather than by taking full credit for their actions.

    By the way, PP, if you had actually read that link you provided all the way through, you would have seen the letter the Judge wrote.

    Well you can jump to your conclusions and I’ll jump to mine. The timing and swiftness supports the conclusion I jumped to.

    Phil, I didn’t jump to the conclusion he was fired because no one is saying he was fired. And I saw him on FOX yesterday.

    What I don’t understand is, he has no foreign accent, unless you can count his use of the word “corpse” as foreign. He does use odd words sometimes. But he has no accent!! How can that be?

    And again, how the he11 did he get elected POTUS with NO vetting and NO background check? Someone’s heads needs to roll on that alone. Who let this guy through??? That is the place to start.

    Said it before, and I’ll keep repeating it. Obastard STARTED this mess: Buycks-Robison v. Citibank!!! The 1995 settlement out of court? The very first BILLION dollar set aside for SUB-PRIME loans (which caused every other major lender to set aside $Billions for sub-prime as well!)!!! Guess who paid for the legal bills?? Your friends at ACORN!?! The lead attorney, Barack Hussein Obastard!?! But because Slick Willie, you know, the first black president needed the Illinois vote, the then-Jackass-In-Chief signed an executive order in 1997, finally allowing Fannie and Freddie to suck up any old kind of horsecrap mortgage!?!
    Look it up, folks. The present Jackass-In-Chief, with the help of his BFFs, ACORN, started this mess!?! Which, of course, also makes B. Hussein the LIAR-In-Chief as well!?!

    I will vote for the Republican nominee, but unfortunately being in CA, my vote only counts for state reps and for congress. I don’t think my vote counted in the Pres. election since Reagan’s 2nd term in 1984 (or possibly GHW Bush in ’88, can’t remember if he took CA). The point is we need to come out in huge numbers in states like OH, FL, IA. If O dumbo takes FL that’s probably it because he will get NY and CA for sure.I think once we have a nominee and he starts focusing BHO things will get better as far as polling.

    I want whoever the Republican nominee is to start pounding this usurper to our House about his shady background. What was his relationship with Mr. Communism, Frank Marshall Davis? Who were the people his Marxist mother surrounded him with? How well did he know Ayers and that dingbat wife, Dorene (sp)? Where did he go, what did he learn, who were his teachers, and, WHERE WAS HE BORN?
    I’d also like to know who set this up…who, other than Soros, is pulling this puppet’s strings. Since he a lying POS, let’s get to the truth of the matter…he sure isn’t gonna tell us jack.

    No one played with him on the playground all those years? How sad! /sarc off

    Surely the Marxists/commies played with him.

    On another note, perhaps the reason no one can find anything on him from his early years is because he was in the witness protection program.

    That’s interesting, until the results of the 2008 election I used to consider it axiomatic that “There are stupid Americans, but Americans are not stupid.”

    Obviously, not true.

    Now, the new test axiom is “Americans may be stupid, but they’re not that stupid.”
    

    We’ll know in November how the new model holds up…

    I’m still waiting for somebody to track down his drug dealers from his past, so they can be interviewed.

    You know that if any Republican candidate for president admitted to being a coke-head, there’d be no effort spared to track down his suppliers — and if none could be found, then Dan Rather and Mary Mapes would just find some wacko off the street to claim that he was, and they’d run with it.

    Except that the President just submitted his latest budget proposal that even his own Department of Treasury admits will do nothing to avoid the economics disaster looming in the near future.

    So it seems Obama has learned nothing in his first term in office, except how to use his position to silence his critics.
