Charles Payne: "President Obama would love to see civil unrest in this country very much like the Arab Spring"

In his eighth and most recent pivot to the economy, President Obama has begun channeling Saul Alinsky as though he's participating in a seance with the late Communist rabble-rouser. His rambling, 80-minute long, Castro-like speeches have increasingly revealed an inner anger with America (as noted by White House correspondent Keith Koffler).

Fox Business analyst Charles Payne sees an ominous method to the madness.

Stuart Varney: Obama used the term "inequality" more than he used the word "growth". And this is a problem, according to Charles Payne.

Charles Payne: It is a problem. He talked about [income inequality] being morally wrong. You know, Stuart, if you and I entered this building and there were different rules for each of us, that would be morally wrong. But if I dropped out of high school and smoked weed all day and you worked your way through college and made more money than I did, that's not inequality, that's just.

Here's what this president did: he tried to condemn capitalism. He tried to condemn success. He promotes mediocrity. And he's making excuses for people to fail in this country, instead of being honest about it.

His phrases: "people who lost their homes through no fault of their own", "people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own..." You know what: if I own a business and have 10 employees and things get bad, guess what? I'm not going to fire my best employees! Maybe you did lose your job because you weren't up to snuff!

The bottom line is this: the president is pushing this agenda. That America is somehow a mean-spirited country without opportunity and we're going backwards. When, in fact, every single year we get closer to that "more perfect union" that we strive for.

[On Obama's prediction that income inequality will increase and "social tensions will rise as various groups fight to hold on to what they have"]

In my mind -- and I hate to say this -- I think President Obama would love to see civil unrest in this country very much like the Arab Spring. I think what he's trying to do is to spark this revolution against the wealthy, against the "One Percent" who are holding us back, who are hoarding this money,

You know Democrats are trotting out this statistic about how much money the top one percent controlled in 1979 versus how much they control now. Well, it's quadrupled, as if it's the same group of people who've been greedy with money and greedy with opportunity.

You know who it is? It's a kid like Lebron James, who was in the bottom one percent and is now in the top one percent. And his salary skews that top one percent to make it look 400 percent better. What that number shows is that opportunities for America... not the bad part of America, the good part of America.



One of Obama's heroes was a man named Saul Alinsky. Community organizing got its start in Chicago under the direction of Alinsky, an avowed Marxist. Alinsky believed that poverty was the result of political inequalities.

Sound familiar?

Yeah, I didn't know that he did that until recently. Sounds like he's learned his lesson though!

If you guys are denying the existence of a rentier class that financializes everything and produces nothing, then there truly is no hope for us. Everything you say about Alinsky, C/P and Obama is true - and yet you cannot see that both parties enable control fraud at the top, that real assets are being purchased with counterfeit credit, and the middle class is being ground up by many of these "capitalists" we defend. So sad that the truth is once again the real victim here. 7:11 AM

Yes, Fox Business Network as a whole is somewhat better than CNBC (which is a sewer) so that's not saying much. I used that watch Varney & Co. for a while but grew tired of it as well -- they get close to the truth at times, but really never embrace it is your comment suggests. The rest of the day on FBN until Cavuto is pretty much the same lame cheerleading that you'll find elsewhere. Judge Nap's 8PM show was the best that they offered, and they ended up canning it over a year ago. Occasionally Dobb's had some good segments, maybe he still does, I haven't watched his show in quite a long time.

Stosell still has a decent show but I try to catch the re-runs when they are on the regular FNC -- I refuse to watch his show on FBN with 1/2 of the screen covered with all that market crap running when the markets are closed.
