Pat Robertson
said President Barack Obama is a “socialist” whose agenda is to cripple,
destroy, and take over America, as he’s already done with healthcare and as he
wants to do with the financial services industry.
“The President
is an ideologue,” Robertson said on his CBN 700 Club show. “He wants to
redistribute wealth and he wants to grow the size of government. He wants to
absorb like an amoeba all the various—he’s already taken over a good part of
healthcare, he wants to take over the financial services, he wants to take over
everything and he wants to control it. What do you call that? It’s
socialism.
“He wouldn’t admit to being a socialist but that’s what it is,” Robertson continued. “He has an agenda. Now Karl Rove was saying in an op-ed today that what the President is trying to do is set up the Republicans so they fight among themselves and therefore the party goes into disunity in the next election and Obama wins there. I don’t think he thinks that way. I think he thinks ideologically: I must cripple the capitalist class; I must cripple the business owners; I must destroy the free enterprise system in America.” The New Civil Rights Movement
In an interview
with Miami’s Noticias Univision 23, Obama bristled at allegations that he is
moving the United States toward socialism. “The truth of
the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same
policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate
Republican,” Obama said. “I do believe that it makes sense that everyone in
America, as rich as this country is, shouldn’t go bankrupt because someone gets
sick, so the things I believe in are essentially the same things your viewers
believe in.” The Inquisitr Robertson is
