Chairman O And America's Great Leap Forward


When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2007, his backers frequently compared him to former president John F. Kennedy. After a year in office, however, President Obama's words and actions align more closely with China's despotic Chairman Mao than with JFK's.

When Mao Tse Tung conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. When Obama was elected President, many started referring to him as President of the World. Both Obama and Mao had carte blanche to set out a path of radical change.

As part of his strategy, Mao informed his top echelon, "There has to be a personality cult...it is absolutely necessary."* With the aid of the state media, Mao crafted an iconic image of himself as the savior of the common man. Propaganda was everywhere - including the fields where workers could listen to messages from Mao as they worked. Sound familiar?

In 1958, Mao kicked off what he called The Great Leap Forward.. the ownership of tools, animals, and other means of production were taken over by the state.

Chairman Mao, in the name of the people, also took over China's health care. The 'state' determined who would receive this essential service. The elderly were moved into "houses of happiness" so that they could be looked after - by the state.

Chairman Mao's government also plunged the country into deep debt.

Mao, through a cult of personality and firm control of the levers of government, had the ability to impose his own version of reality on China. Just as Obama has today.

The similarities between Chairman Mao and President Obama are too numerous to ignore. Like Obama, Mao's philosophy of how to 'change' China was clear from the outset. "...the country must be...destroyed and then reformed." "People like me long for the destruction because when the old universe is destroyed, a new universe will be formed. Isn't that better?" Quick - who said that? Mao, or Obama's buddy Bill Ayers?

Answer: Both.

so much BS to rebut you wonder is it worth the effort. Keep posting the "fearmonger" articles while logical and knowlegeable people from the right and left hash out concrete plans for this country's success.

Typical leftist-- belittle and call names, because you CAN'T rebut the TRUTH.
We're still waiting for the ultra-intelligent elitists (like you) to come up with something that actually will work without destroying the country.
The fact is, there are some very good plans languishing in committee-- being suppressed by the fascist majority.
