President Obama is the Prime Minister, parliament, and head of the largest financial institutions and corporations of several European nations?
Or maybe, Dick Morris is saying Obama is a divine being with omnipotent power. Did he finally fall for his own party's "Obamassiah" talking points?

I think it's time for him to "man up" and accept responsibility for one of the greatest ecological disasters of the past forty-odd thousand years!
Never mind the troublesome fact that it went extinct about 100 years ago.
What genius taught a toad to speak?
This is the direct result of deregulations from the Bush Administration. This is the result of lobbying and K street buying its ALEC based legislation.
-republicans are fiscally responsible..that is a false meme
-republicans are tough on national security...another false meme
-republicans love freedom...another false meme
Blaming President Bush is based on the evidence. When you look at how he allowed deregualtion in the financial markets, passed tax breaks slanted to the rich during a war, had no balanced budgets, had a massive security failure on 9-11, lied about the link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq, lied about the threat of WMDs...I am failling to see any False memes here.
I think if you look into say Greece's current situation you will find that Goldman Sachs was involved in promoting Greece and helping to hide its financial situation. When you see who is "directing" Greece now it is a former Goldman Sachs exc.The same is true in Italy, another former Goldman Sachs exc. is running the how.
I am alwasy willing to discuss a topic but only with fact not rhetoric
That schlurping schound he makesh while the wordsh come dripping out of the schide of hish moush issh really dishgushting.
A shill is a shill is shill. The "lending freeze" began under Bush when, after the crash of Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros. due to heavy investment in unregistered (off the books) toxic assests, the remaining Wall Street Banks refused to lend, even to each other, unable to tell who had exposure to toxic assets, by how much, or who had been selling unregistered credit default swaps to whom.
Even Lehman's management did not know the size of their own company's exposure. Sound familiar? Think JPMorgan.
Anyway, this financial uncertainty and lending freeze then spread to Europe as regulators there began to look at their own banks' commercial practices (and sale of synthetic credit default swaps) and at the credit worthiness of big borrowers and the exposure of swap holders to risk. And lo and behold, someone looked at Greece's convoluted books. Bingo.
FWIW,the financial crisis in Spain is due to the collapse of the construction bubble. With the default by so many builders and project speculators, Spanish lenders suddenly found themselves with near worthless projects on their hands, no income from the defaulting debtors, and no money to lend, even for short term loans that businesses rely on. Details, details.
Long/short: Dick Morris is a penis head.

IMHO
UTOPIA
"Free-market" conservatives don't give a damn about the free market. Instead, they promote policies that redistribute income upwards into the hands of a few.
I want everyone to read The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive. You can read it for free on pdf form.
I'll give you a summary quoted from the website.
Progressives need a fundamentally new approach to politics. They have been losing not just because conservatives have so much more money and power, but also because they have accepted the conservatives’ framing of political debates. They have accepted a framing where conservatives want market outcomes whereas liberals want the government to intervene to bring about outcomes that they consider fair.
This is not true. Conservatives rely on the government all the time, most importantly in structuring the market in ways that ensure that income flows upwards. The framing that conservatives like the market while liberals like the government puts liberals in the position of seeming to want to tax the winners to help the losers.
This "loser liberalism" is bad policy and horrible politics. Progressives would be better off fighting battles over the structure of markets so that they don't redistribute income upward. This book describes some of the key areas where progressives can focus their efforts in restructuring market so that more income flows to the bulk of the working population rather than just a small elite.
By releasing The End of Loser Liberalism: Making Markets Progressive under a Creative Commons license and as a free download, Baker walks the walk of one of his key arguments -- that copyrights are a form of government intervention in markets that leads to enormous inefficiency, in addition to redistributing income upward. (Hard copies are available for purchase, at cost) Distributing the book for free not only enables it to reach a wider audience, but Baker hopes to drive home one of the book's main points via his own example. While the e-book is free, donations to the Center for Economic and Policy Research are welcomed.
Well, it isn't Obama.
Take a look at the republican party for one.
Sigh, nothing like conservative revisionism. I take it that little economic spill we had in the 30s will be called "The Great Debt Implosion" due to all the spending done by that socialist Roosevelt. It's already starting in the echo chamber. Not making this up, someone on a facebook comment stream called FDR "the closest thing America has ever had to a dictator."
It's not enough to view the present through a myopic and ill-conceived lens, but all of history?
