Obama is moving slowly but surely towards more overt state socialism.
There is an interesting twist of crony capitalism in his Administration especially from his economics team. It will be interesting to see how that develops. Will it become something akin to the post-Soviet Russian oligarchs with official state ties?
"Some people see God as they see a cow, and love Him as they love a cow — for the milk and cheese, and the profit it brings. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of worldly possessions or inward comfort. They do not truly love God when they love Him for their own advantage. The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye — one seeing, one knowing, one love.”
Meister Eckhart, Predigten und Traktate
