Nope, David Koch Isn’t Giving Obama Any Credit For Bin Laden’s Capture

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone at this point that businessman David Koch isn’t exactly a huge fan of Barack Obama. Case in point: The billionaire won’t even give Obama at least partial credit for the capture of Osama bin Laden. To put that into some sort of context, do recall that even Sarah Palin – obviously no friend of Obama’s – and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh both decided to give the President at least some credit for his role in capturing bin Laden.

New York magazine reports that, during the Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Spring Ball, Koch made his thoughts about Obama’s role in the capture explicitly known:

He just made the decision, it was obvious where the guy is. He was one of the worst terrorists organizing attacks on the United States. I mean, no president in his right mind would not approve that decision to go eliminate him. So he’s getting a lot of recognition and his polls have jumped up, but his decision was the easiest of them all. The real hard work was done by the intelligence and the SEALs.

Koch also called the President a “hardcore socialist” and “scary.” To which scary hardcore socialist Lawrence O’Donnell may have responded, “Um, hello. Remember Tora Bora?” To which Ann Coulter, dog owner, may have replied, “Um. Remember Bill Clinton?” and then everyone would just fight and yell and argue and forget that the U.S. just SUCCESSFULLY TOOK DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS TERRORIST, COME ON YOU GUYS!

Perhaps because he doesn’t work in the CIA. Or does he? :)
Barack Must Go

One can only hope Obama’s narcissistic tendencies makes him just dumb enough to have his minions in the MSM piss the Koch bros. off to the point that they put up their own $ one billion, to match the perported same amount Barack stole from us ” real ” American people thru the illegal way he administered the $878 billion stimulus / barack’s personal slush fund last year. Not to mention the bank bailout funds along with all the interest is also MIA.

You weren’t backstabbed, nor will he get recalled. What specific measure do you have a problem with? Paying more for benefits? That seems appropriate. Civil protection rights? WI already has a strong civil protection rights system set-up for legal purposes.

I took a big pay cut and I have to pay more into my pension and let me tell you it hurts. I’m trying to raise a family and its tough. Walker gave a lot of money to corporations that were doing very well. I’m not alone, a lot of us former Tea Party members are upset and disgusted with the way Walker turned out and we want him out.

The idea of YOU personally taking a pay cut doesn’t make sense. If you are part of a union, then your union decided to take a pay cut. That said, most people in the private sector don’t have pensions so you can decide to forego your pension and work in the private sector or choose a job for the government that offsets your pay with a pension. When I moved back to WI a year or so ago, I came back to a job that didn’t offer ANY benefits. Most people in the private sector do have pro-rated forms of benefits. I didn’t. Therefore, you should feel lucky that you even had benefits to work with in the first place.

Walker is moving WI to a tax structure that makes it easier for us to pay for higher gas prices and to attract businesses to WI. No offense, but WI is a cold state. Can you name a corporation would blindly want to move to a cold state if it were paying higher taxes? I’m glad that we’re finally getting on a road to fiscal sanity – it’s about time. Walker is the person to do that.

Voter ID and concealed/constitutional carry seem to be coming next.

I will be having to take a pay cut and a few years back I was working in the private sector and I had to take numerous pay freezes and my 401k got wiped out in the last recession, so I have gotten hit from both sides. I do feel lucky to have some benefits but you make it sound like I should be thankful I can eat food out of a dumpster. I don’t make a lot. Walker went after the people that helped get him in office.

Voter ID is another stupid issue that is not helping our state and I think we need to work on more serious issues. Maybe if he gave incentives for companies that created jobs it would help but giving money to companies for no reason is not smart.

If you pay attention to his Facebook feed, he is always talking about jobs that have been added/created since he came into office. And he mentions them in a variety of forms – sometimes it’s 25 here, sometimes it’s 200 there.

If you are taking a pay cut, that’s because your UNION decided to do so. More than likely, it’s to soften the union leader’s bank account or because there are too many members within the union. WI can’t pay for salary increases of people at the rate that government employees are hired.

Your 401k should be untouchable. The only reason that your 401k should be wiped out is if you took money out of it. Unless you can tell me that your company was the type of company to invest company money into stock accounts without your knowledge, then I don’t see why there would be anger. You control the monies going into that and it’s your duty to keep track of that stuff. I am not attacking you, but merely stating that position.

Like I said, I came back to WI and made less money at the same company that I worked for a few years back (I went back to school to earn a graduate degree) and I came back to a job with 0 benefits and less pay than a prior job with the same company.

Just so you know, in the private sector you don’t have pay freezes. You just earn a salary. Unless you worked for a company on commission or they had a pro-rated per year salary growth, the increase in pay wouldn’t make sense. There is no increase in pay unless a department gets one or you specifically ask to get one because you worked extremely hard. But I haven’t heard of those type of situations. You earn what you state at your interview.

Voter ID isn’t a stupid issue. It’s a practical issue that should’ve been implemented years ago. I’m not pro or con gun laws since I don’t use any at this stage of life. I know that Vermont has a constitutional carry law and they’re very liberal.

The important thing is that Prosser won and the D’s look like party poopers. Showing ID is not going after voters. It’s proving that you are who you say you are. WI has too old of legislation when it comes to being allowed to vote in the state of WI.

You’re calling a salary remaining stagnant a pay freeze. I’m saying that bonuses or salary increases aren’t common.

As far as the 401k, you are supposed to invest in the stock market if you have a minimum of 10 + years to invest and you’re supposed to let the money stay in said account. It’s up to you as a the employee to be aware of how your company is investing or not investing that money. You are claiming that it’s the economy or your company’s fault.

I was an hourly employee and took a couple pay freezes because the company was effected by the recession that started in ’06. The company invested in the stock market too and it took a hit which effected my 401k.

–noun
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

Looks like Communism lite.

So it seems like you want to be like an ant in a ant colony or a bee in a bee hive.
You don’t want to own anything or be an individual, you just want to be a drone to the collective or a slave to the state. Or a Borg drone if you will.

It’s ok if you are a want a be slave, more power to you…….or less power to you….. that seems to be the point.
But to free thinking individuals, Socialism dosen’t seem that appealing at all. So you can keep it.

I was an hourly employee too, nor did I work 40 hour weeks. I worked in community relations for a large WI company. Right now I’m on pause with the company due to the economy so I would think you should be happy to even have a job. And like I said, it’s your right to remove your 401k from the stocks if you so desire. Any stock strategy should be thought of with a long-term investment. I’m younger and so my parents have helped me with the funding of a Roth IRA. I’m aggressive at this point with stocks given my age, but if I was working for a company, I’d invest in my 401K only if I knew I was going to be in there long-term.

Do you still have your 401K money in the stock market? If so, then you haven’t lost anything until you pull out of it completely. Then, I’d say you have.

But you have a job. I don’t. I’m currently preparing for a 3rd potential degree. :)

Unemployment is climbing, Obamo is falling. The anemic number of jobs created holds an even worse truth: 25% of them were the ‘hamburger-flipping’ jobs that Libs openly derided before Obamo came to town. Now they’re something to supposedly be ‘proud’ of.

Obamo will be flipping burgers in late 2012.

Not a whisper from Mediaite about the outrageous statements by wealthy Obama supporters — starting with George Soros, who has been saying some mind-boggling things lately. But plenty of scrutiny of any wealthy donor to Republicans.

Hey, Mediaite, it’s hard to take you seriously when you play such obvious partisan politics.

Soros recently held a conference on how to manipulate countries and markets to push to ensure the spread of his ideology of expanding government control of people’s live. But you didn’t read a word about it here at Mediaite — which was too busy telling us about the important policy positions of Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin.

As for my Honorable Discharge, you’ll never have the honor of recieving one. It’ tucked neatly in my DD-214.

It ‘s hard to believe that someone, as successful as David, can be so ignorant. Besides being a worthless human being, he is dangerously ignorant. BTW, is his brother, as ignorant, as he is? I do take away, one reassuring fact, from this news article. It is, that David, will not, nor never will be, President of the United States. Thank God.

Walker is moving WI to a tax structure that makes it easier for us to pay for higher gas prices and to attract businesses to WI. No offense, but WI is a cold state. Can you name a corporation would blindly want to move to a cold state if it were paying higher taxes? I’m glad that we’re finally getting on a road to fiscal sanity – it’s about time. Walker is the person to do that.

And WI will stay a cold state with Walker. After all the negative publicity thats been aired about WI, Walker, the union busting, the I’m in charge, you will do as I say dictatorial mentality, no sane business is going to be attracted to WI, lower taxes or not.

As for Koch, he’s not worth talking about.

I’m sure you’ve heard about George Soros. You know why the price of silver is in the dumper? Ahh I thought not – Georgie was just having a little fun playing with the world market again. Yup – he’s your poster boy.
Check it out – you won’t see any headlines from the media (can’t imagine why) but it happened this week.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me someone who relies on Saudi, Iranian, Venezuelan, and other state sponsors of terrorism for his profits is UPSET that OBL is dead? What does this mean? Could it mean men like the Kock brothers, Dick Cheney, and others who support bleeding the United States of America to death with unending wars and dependence on foreign oil are actually terrorists? I just can’t think of any other reason they’re all so upset over the death of OBL. I think that must be it.

lol – that’s funny – here I thought we were for “energy independence” – damn I had it wrong all this time.
now, perhaps you want to reword your silly statement. How can we cry “drill baby drill” and still want to be for foreign oil dependency? How does that work? Please illuminate.

The United States sits on a teeny tiny fraction of the world’s oil, but consumes many many times – about eight times – what it can produce. Even if we were to “drill here, drill now,” we would not “pay less.” Nor would we “have more.” You can “seek” verification of that. The US has to import almost all its oil. Of course, if you’re a Kock brother, that’s not a problem – as long as the US is dependent on oil instead of alternative energy sources, you get to suck up the crumbs of skyrocketing oil prices. If you’re relatively rich compared to 99.9% of Americans, then all is good with your world – who really cares if your policies fund terrorism?

So, what we need is the guy who just lied us into a war for oil with Libya and is funding Brazilian oil exploration and promising to be their best customer? Dude. Wake up.

David Koch Isn’t Giving Obama Any Credit For Bin Laden’s Capture

When -0bama writes his memoirs, it will read that he piloted one of the helicopter that were used in the raid. Next thing you know, our school history books will add that “fact.”
