It's all about government control

Bailing out the banks, the automotive industry, Cash for Clunkers, economic stimulus plan, addressing our schoolchildren on TV, ObamaCare. None of these are what the president tries to make them appear to be. He is deceptive, disingenuous and dissonant. All of his programs are based on the fundamental principle of liberalism - You, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss American, can't make it on your own. We, big government have to do it for you.

Americans are being conditioned in the Pavlovian/ Skinnerian sense to run to the federal government every time they have a little problem or just have a "want" they want fulfilled right now.

So, the operative words are "government control."

Do you ever wonder when he will start handing out brown shirts to our schoolchildren, so they will all feel equal, become entirely dependent on the government for their welfare be totally ignorant of even the concept, let alone the practice of personal responsibility?
