As most of us thought, Obama is a center, center right president

80. Rachel Maddow says the Eisenhower is to The Left of President Obama.

*"Workers have a right to organize into unions and to bargain collectively with their employers. And a strong, free labor movement is an invigorating and necessary part of our industrial society."

*"Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of their right to join the union of their choice."

*"Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things, but their number is negligible and they are stupid."---Republican President Dwight Eisenhower

Listen to Rachel Tell it like it IS in this clip:

Eisenhower was well to The Left of Obama on other issues too.

*Eisenhower thought that the RICH should pay over 90% in the top bracket to reduce the deficit

*Eisenhower presided over one of the most successful national Jobs Program, The Interstate Highway System,
and

*Eisenhower championed the "Socialist" GI Bills that helped BUILD the Middle Class

*Believed that Government should regulate Business, and protect American citizens.
He presided over Regulated International TRADE that protected American Industry,
and regulated Interstate trade so that Mom & Pop Local Businesses could thrive,
and prevented Out-of-State BIG Corporations from undercutting locally owned businesses.

And who could EVER forget how he Called Out the Military Industrial Complex.
Unfortunately, his warnings went unheeded:

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
---President Dwight Eisenhower

I would LOVE to hear THAT from ANY of our Democrats today.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
