BTW, former President Bush II was very popular right up until he proposed changing Social Security to let people invest a part of their SS Taxes directly into the market, perhaps through super low cost index funds companies would bid on to manage for the lowest fees. I believe that was stepping on the third rail as it would make a huge percentage of the population aware of how well index investing works so the money bags went after him... and also all those who depend no SS payments for their profits from bigger government went after him too. Money bags then found Obama to back because he was and is more Socialist leaning and would let government continue to squander SS tax collection dollars.... Moneybags don't give a chit who is in power as long as they can keep their hands in our pockets with legal confiscation via government taxation. At the time Obama was running for Pres, I suggested Moneybags wanted "green investments" to succeed as that was where the VC money was flowing and they were backing Obama.... now they get $10K or so from taxpayers to buy a status symbol auto that runs on incremental electricity in CA that comes from coal with special stickers that allow them to drive in car pool and toll lanes without paying extra! Why not use the $10K per Tesla to shut down the coal plants? Connect the dots.....

Okay, I gave this some serious though over the past few days and I've come to the following conclusion... Behavior is far more eloquent than speech... talk is cheap, one's actions tell all... Regarding that speech in that video, when ovomit is pretending to make a mockery of that dictatorship style statement, I truly believe he actually believes it... and what makes it so believable (and why people really believe he's saying it in earnest) is that his entire attitude about government and people is very clearly exemplified by that very comment which he only pretends to mock... why anyone would actually still believe that fraud is beyond comprehension...
