You're no TR.
Obama is
trying to echo Teddy Roosevelt.
Nope, won't work. TR's main point was that the Trusts [multinational corporations] had become so dominant and overwhelming that the national government needed to take them apart. He was right.
Obama HAD A PERFECT CHANCE to follow TR in his first term. He was faced with a very similar situation, and he SHOULD have taken his example from both Roosevelts. Follow Teddy and break up the corporations; follow Franklin and eliminate the speculators.
Instead he followed Rezident Bush The Son. He continued to REWARD the Trusts and Speculators with trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions in blackmail payments. He did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to punish the Trusts and Speculators.
Sorry, Barry. You're not entitled to use the Roosevelt name in vain. You're nothing but a Bush. And that's the most profound curse anyone could ever hurl.

Mixed feelings about Obama's positive use of the word Nationalist. Until now, no respectable American politician was permitted to use the word because it properly means "Serving the interests of the PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY."
Now Obama has used the word approvingly, which makes it respectable. (Any word used by an orthodox Democrat automatically becomes respectable to the Satanist-Leninist Poison Vendors. It's like a priest re-sacralizing a cuss word.)
Unfortunately, he has also destroyed the word by turning it backwards. Obama loyally continues the Bush tradition, serving the political and military interests of Israel and the economic interests of China, and destroying the American people in every possible way. So I suppose he could reasonably be called an Israeli Nationalist or a Chinese Nationalist ... Oops, the latter refers to Taiwan, doesn't it? ... But he is the absolute opposite of an American Nationalist. In today's politics, Ron Paul comes closest to Nationalism in military terms, but totally blows it economically by favoring Free Trade.
So the word is now usable, but only with Obama's inverted meaning. The actual policy of Nationalism is still absolutely heretical and strictly illegal. Real Nationalists are still a free-fire zone for FBI snipers.
