    Understanding Barack Obama's JIVE

    First you need to understand what JIVE means. If you check the dictionary there are various meanings. The JIVE associated with Senator Obama is number 8 at Dictionary.com:
    8.Slang. insincere, pretentious, or deceptive.
    The focus is the word "deceptive". I've tried to explain this to readers in the past but last week I found an article at Investors.com that put my thoughts into something easier to understand. On that I will structure the Obama JIVE -> English explanation.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "economic justice" this is JIVE for his promise to punish the successful and redistribute their wealth by government force. Yes class - Obama's "economic justice" is a euphemism for socialism.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "restoring fairness to the economy" this is JIVE for his promise to soak the "rich" - a segment of society he fails to understand that includes mom-and-pop businesses filing individual tax returns. Yes class - Obama's "restoring fairness to the economy" is a euphemism for socialism.

    When President-wanna-be Barack Obama uses the phrase "investments" - "to make America more competitive" this is JIVE for "wealth transfers". Some examples of his, by his own JIVE, investments:
    • "Universal," "guaranteed" health care
    • "Free" college tuition
    • "Universal national service" (a la Havana)
    • "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families")
    • "Free" job training (even for criminals)
    • "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels)
    • "Free" child care and "universal" preschool
    • More subsidized public housing
    • A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor"
    • And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.
    Yes class - Obama's "investments" are a euphemism for socialism. It be all JIVE. You and your children will pay for it - ALL.
