| Last night, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey went “On the Record” to discuss Obamacare, which he recently referred to as “more like fascism” than socialism. He received an angry backlash from many Whole Foods customers after the comment and is now apologizing for his “poor choice of words.” He told Greta Van Susteren that he did not fully realize the “emotional baggage” that goes with the term “fascism,” but further explained his opposition to the health care law, saying it’s the opposite of “free enterprise capitalism.”

Comments:
He may have said he found the word "fascism" inappropriate he did not back off of his defense of free enterprise capitalism and how detrimental 0bamacare is. 0bamacare is indeed fascism.

True, most people have no clue what Fascism is. Better to use words the typical Obama supporter and WholeFoods shopper can understand.

Michael Berry had a great spoof ad on his show last night which started with the proud owner of a new laundromat announcing his "Whites Only" laundromat where only white clothing would be allowed in the washing machines, but the resluting saving would be passed on to the customers with a large reduction in the cost to clean clothing. This was followed with the owner attempting to apologize for his "poor and thoughtless choice of word," but he kept making it worse.

Um, GM anyone? Government being inappropriately involved in independent business is Fascism. THe word has devolved in recent usage to indicate anyone who is inappropriately authoritarian, but the word still has a legitimate use.

I don´t really blame him for being a sniveling coward in this.
Whole Foods customer base is pretty much 99.9% NØbama voters. Hippies and ´´Limousine Lie-berals´´ in every aisle. It´s bad business sense to make your base unhappy.
Most conservatives are too smart to pay for the ridiculously overpriced stuff they sell in their stores, so even if he had stayed true to what he said before, he didn´t really have anything to gain.
Welcome to the PC reality of a dying republic. I just can´t decide if it would be smarter to learn Chinese, Spanish or Arabic to please the new owners who buy this country for pennies on the dollar when it completes it´s inevitable collapse under Comradde NØbama...

President Obama pledged that the United States would punish anyone responsible for the explosions at the Boston Marathon today, but he said that “people shouldn’t jump to conclusions” about the tragedy. “We still do not know who did this or why and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before they have all the facts,” Obama told reporters during a statement from the White House. “Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice,” he added.

Clift said that the emergence of prominent victim advocates after tragic shootings has changed the politics of guns. “The Newtown families and Gabby Giffords are in the gun debate to stay, and over time their voices will be more powerful than the NRA.

President Obama is aware of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell’s murder trial, but White House Press Secretary Jay Carney wouldn’t speculate about whether Obama might not support legislation such as the Born Alive Act that he opposed as a state senator. “You’re asking for hypotheticals about legislation or proposed legislation that I haven’t seen,” Carney replied when Fox News’ Ed Henry asked if Obama, having voted against a Born Alive Act in the Illinois state legislature, thought the Gosnell case suggested there was a need for such a law. “The president is aware of this,” Carney also said, adding that

The United States federal government is rapidly falling out of favor with the country’s Democrats, according to new polling data released by the Pew Research Center. The federal government has been wildly unpopular for some time, explains Pew, but even with President Barack Obama in the driver’s seat, the percentage of Democrats finding favor with the federal government has plummeted 10 points in the last year, down to just 41 percent of that party. The new data mark the first time Democrats have declared the Obama-led federal government more unfavorable than favorable, with 51 percent of Democratic respondents

WASHINGTON – New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is holding up a vote in the U.S. Senate on a resolution honoring Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom who died last week after suffering a stroke, multiple sources tell The Daily Caller. While the House of Representatives passed a resolution honoring Thatcher last week, Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, objects to some of the language proposed by Republicans in the Senate’s version, sources said. A copy of the proposed resolution, which would be offered by Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, honors “the life, legacy,

A text of the massive bill, which was crafted without public scrutiny by a bipartisan group of senators popularly called the ”Gang of Eight,” has not yet been released.

If you sell a gun to your son, “there’s something wrong with your family," says New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In a radio appearance on Friday, Bloomberg, a gun control activist and co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, praised the legislation that is now moving forward in the Senate. The bill would require universal background checks for most sales of firearms, including those online and at gun shows. “The only thing it would not cover is if you sold a gun to your son, for example,” Bloomberg told radio host John Gambling.

Because we don’t have sensible gun legislation.” Jackson Lee continued by saying that current gun laws need to be enforced,

There an estimated 11 million illegal or undocumented immigrants in the nation. The poll of 400 Latino adults who self-identified as "non-citizens and not legal permanent residents,"

This past Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union program, Senator Rubio complained to Candy Crowley that “everyone’s focused on passing these laws that have proven ineffective and will prove ineffective in the future.” He wasn’t talking about immigration then, but about guns. On immigration, he was the one making the argument for “passing these laws that have proven ineffective and will prove ineffective in the future.” Rubio on Sunday managed a “Full Ginsburg” — appearing on all five Sunday talk shows on the same day. In fact, he established a new benchmark, perhaps from now

Since he first became a presidential candidate, President Obama must have spent millions of dollars in legal expenses to combat dozens of so-called "birther" challenges seeking the original documents pertaining to his birth. As president, he famously issued an electronic document on the White House website in 2011; the document purported to be his long-form birth certificate, though it is apparently a forgery. In addition, he has taken great pains to hide the paper trail of passport records, college transcripts, and other data -- all of which a prospective employer might require of a job applicant.

Although Levin would not offer the congressman’s name on air, he has been a vocal critic of various members of the House Republican leadership in the past. But Levin called the situation “fascism.” “Well, it has come to my attention that there is a Republican congressman out there who doesn’t like what I’ve been saying,” Levin said. “It has come to my attention that there is a

Whitehall sources have revealed that the U.S. delegation at tomorrow’s service in St Paul’s Cathedral will be led by two Reagan era secretaries of state: James Baker and George Shultz. Though President Obama himself had not been expected to attend, there had been speculation that he would be represented either by Vice President Joe Biden or wife Michelle.

The relative, speaking to the Daily News, claimed that mass murderer Lanza was taunted and attacked by fellow students at his childhood alma mater. “Nancy felt fiercely protective of him,” the relative said. “She was convinced the school wasn’t doing enough to protect Adam.

Is media bias to blame for lack of Gosnell coverage? Or something far more banal? The trial of Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell would seem to have all the elements of a spectacular news story: shocking allegations, horrifying visuals, sympathetic victims. Yet until late last week, much of the national media was silent as testimony about Gosnell’s alleged “house of horrors” abortion clinic rolled out. Much of the media attention outside Philadelphia, in fact, centered on how little media attention the story was receiving outside Philadelphia.

President Obama and I were college classmate at Columbia University, class of ’83. I know all too well how mindlessly liberal the students and faculty of that institution can be, and Barack Obama is certainly no exception. My time at Columbia made it crystal clear: liberals always believe they are morally superior. [Snip] It is in this cesspool of intolerance that Obama and his Marxist cronies hatched a secret plan to destroy our country. There are two things you need to know about Obama at Columbia University. First, he was Pre Law and a Political Science major- just like me.
