Not seeing your point. Obama didn't turn us into a socialist country. He did give a good indication of his intentions in a couple of cases. 1) He said if Congress won't act, he would; he had a phone and a pen and DACA appeared. 2) He said, if you like your health insurance, you can keep your insurance and everyone lost his insurance.

Both instances clearly demonstrate his willingness to act outside of the Constitutional limits of the office. 1) He created legislation by executive fiat. 2) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/11/11/key-architect-of-obamacare-admitted-that-it-was-passed-by-exploiting-political-ignorance/ Jonathon Gruber bragged that Obamacare passed because of the ignorance of the American people and mandated that all Americans subscribe.

There were numerous examples of authoritarian behaviors coming from President Obama besides those, such as his $300,000.00 Statue of Liberty photo and his closing half of New York City for his date night with his wife. Then too, there is his Libyan war.

It's funny, this afternoon I drove out to the woods to pray. Was gonna tell Lord Yeshua that we here on earth are in a heap of trouble, that all of His children were in some deep do do. Then it dawned me. Who am I to be telling Lord Yeshua anything, He knows more about what's going here than I will ever know. So, I just thanked Him for being here, and I knew that no matter how bad things get, no matter how painful things may become, those who love Him will come through just fine.

TV and radio personality Glenn Beck is urging older Americans to return to work to keep the economy going despite the c****av***s infection risks.

Younger people, he said, could stay home to protect themselves from the v***s that causes C****-** while older people ― who the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says are more prone to the most serious cases ― should keep working.

“I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going and working,” he said in comments posted online by Media Matters. “Even if we all get sick, I’d rather die than k**l the country.”

Beck’s comments came after he said he was concerned that Democrats would “jam down” the Green New Deal in economic stimulus legislation while Americans are home “panicked” over C****-**.

Sending older people to work, he seemed to imply, would prevent that legislation.

“It’s not the economy that’s dying,” he said. “It’s the country.”

Beck was among the numerous voices on the right opposed to the Affordable Care Act a decade ago, claiming it would lead to “death panels” that would ration care to determine who gets lifesaving treatment and who doesn’t.

At the time, he argued nature or market forces should k**l older people instead.

“I would rather have nature off grandma, you know?” he said in 2010. “I’d rather, I’d rather have the free market off grandma because then nobody is controlling it.”

While the “death panels” never appeared, Beck now seems to be making a more direct appeal to both nature and markets to “off grandma.”

His latest call echoed comments by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who this week said he’s “all in” on reopening businesses even if it means he could die as a result of infection.

Patrick claimed “lots of grandparents” agreed with him.

The death panels did appear it was in the cost of the premiums for non- welfare!

What you Libbies can't understand is that to have a socialist country requires an authoritarian dictatorship. It doesn't work otherwise. Our country has not been socialized, ever. Adopting a few social programs does not make a socialist country.

Where do you come up with authoritarianism=socialism? We are adding to education and healthcare. We don't have to be an authoritarian nation to do that. JW you make some truly disconnected statements. Once a state becomes authoritarian it ceased to be what it once was. If it was a democracy it is no more. If it was socialist it is no more.

Authoritarian is adjectival. It gets added to the description of the state, not replacing the former description.

Socialism doesn't work without an authoritarian government. Socialism is based on the lowest common denominator and when people realize that their efforts won't raise them above the common denominator, they quit putting out the effort. If the government will make sure you have a place to live, food and an allowance when you don't work, why the Hell would you work? There has to be an authority that can force you to work.

Haven't you ever wondered why every socialist country winds up as a dictatorship? Every one, Pete. That's why unemployment payments end and why almost everyone collects the maximum before finding a job.

Good god JW you can support Trump and then cherry-pick Obama? Are you trying to be the definition of hypocrisy? Trump's golf trips alone would outstrip anything Obama did and in all likelihood what Bush did too. This from a man who said "I don’t ever think I’d see anything. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.” What a load of BS! If lies actually bother you why do you support the lyingist president ever to hold office?

With Obama care, you couldn't keep your insurance if your deductible was too high. That was Obama's lie. Trump can't complete a sentence without a lie in it. According to the Post he has made over 16K lies since he has been in office but you are going to single out one lie by Obama when what he lied about was to the benefit of the policyholder?

Regarding Obamacare - My wife's deductible was $1500.00 and it got cancelled to be replaced with a $7000.00 deductible. She hasn't visited a doctor since she lost her policy. Obama's lie on that score had nothing to do with deductibles. J. Gruber came right out and said they lied to America in order to pass the bill. He said straight out that the average American was too stupid/ignorant to realize he was being lied to.

As for playing Golf - Pres. Trump has not been on a golf course since he was elected that did not include business or government people. Obama played golf with his celebrity buddies. Trump has never played a round of golf while Americans were having their heads cut off by Islamists. Obama did exactly that and had a great time laughing it up immediately after announcing the murder of American journalist, James Foley. You will find his smiling photo, in the golf cart, at the link below.

As for Trump's lies, I see those as the Left's/L*****t media's lies about Trump. I don't see a single lie told by President Trump while he has been in office.

If you would actually make an effort to understand what has been going on instead of hungrily swallowing Democrat talking points, you would find yourself with a whole different attitude.

Must be fun to lie and exaggerate but the fact is nobody had their gun confiscated, Obamacare covered people who had never had insurance before, the economy recovered, the world applauded and America was handed to the Clockwork Orange in good working order.
