Is Obama a demagogue?

I read where he gave a speech in Los Angeles and said some really nasty things about corporations. I'm sorry I voted for him and will be more careful next time in assessing candidates. Also when is he going to stop going on vacation and start doing some work?

    ""President George W. Bush addresses the White House Conference on Increasing Minority Homeownership at The George Washington University Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2002

    THE PRESIDENT: …. I appreciate your attendance to this very important conference. You see, we want everybody in America to own their own home. That’s what we want. This is — an ownership society is a compassionate society.

    More and more people own their homes in America today. Two-thirds of all Americans own their homes, yet we have a problem here in America because few than half of the Hispanics and half the African Americans own the home. That’s a homeownership gap. It’s a — it’s a gap that we’ve got to work together to close for the good of our country, for the sake of a more hopeful future.

    We’ve got to work to knock down the barriers that have created a homeownership gap.

    Subprime mortgage crisis

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The subprime mortgage crisis is an ongoing real estate crisis and financial crisis triggered by a dramatic rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures in the United States, with major adverse consequences for banks and financial markets around the globe.

    Approximately 80% of U.S. mortgages issued in recent years to subprime borrowers were adjustable-rate mortgages.[1] After U.S. house prices peaked in mid-2006 and began their steep decline thereafter, refinancing became more difficult. As adjustable-rate mortgages began to reset at higher rates, mortgage delinquencies soared. Securities backed with subprime mortgages, widely held by financial firms, lost most of their value. The result has been a large decline in the capital of many banks and U.S. government sponsored enterprises, tightening credit around the world.

    The subprime mortgage crisis put the U.S. economy into the worst recession since the Great Depression. This primer tracks how the subprime crisis unfolded, affecting first the real estate market and then the economy overall. It gives you definitions of important terms. It also explains how interest rates and real estate play an integral role in the U.S. economy. Finally, it provides resources for those who are suffering from the subprime mortgage crisis directly.

  • Well he ain't as Hypocritical like 70% of America who rather love Christianity and oppose Islam I mean obama at least is a Tolerant man something most Americans refuse to be I mean anyone who reads the Bible are bigger Demagogues then the ones who read the Koran.

    I mean Nasty things are being said about Muslims some christians are burning the Koran Muslims don't like it, what If someone Burn the Bible and let's see how Christians react to that point being Corporations and Private Companies also force people to go to Church against their own will like Working in a White Collar Profession they hate and can't stand If Obama trash talks them good Its because they can not be trusted with their Freedoms.

  • What makes you think that corporations don't DESERVE to have some nasty things said about them?

    A demagogue is a "political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular desires and prejudices rather than by using rational argument." This sounds a lot like the Republicans to me, but I frankly can't think of any reason why the term fits Obama.

  • have you ever in ordinary terms listened to Fox information, Rush, Savage, and so on? you won't like what he says, in spite of the undeniable fact that it somewhat is absurd to declare he hasn't pronounced something of substance. and you pass directly to represent on your man or woman spinning way his "important" positions. happily, a lot of human beings will study what he certainly says, and make their very own judgments. once you're a maximum suitable-winger you will in comparison to what he says, even however that's extra possibly which you will get his message as massaged via Fox and others. Or, in case you like, please discover his quote for a "professional-Israel distant places coverage." And has he spoken with regard to the "dying Tax?" or "Socialized drugs?" He does communicate with regard to the "assets tax." i think via naming it a "dying tax," we are meant to do a knee-jerk reaction to end it? What if we named it the "Paris Hilton help tax" in honor of all those people who make the main of the repeal of the valuables tax. after all, the international desires extra Paris Hiltons. I certainly does not choose her and others to could desire to earn their way in the international, could you???
