Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Alinsky is spinning in his grave.
No Fred. Saul will not be spinning. He will be very happy indeed. Mr Obama hasn’t missed a lesson yet and I see no indication that he will in the near future.
Many years ago, Saul autographed his book for my wife. He kept saying to us then; personalize the battle and keep banging away at the same theme, over and over.
His goal is to organize the masses and he is doing that. The issues he uses are just the vehicle to get to his goal.
He’s keeping it simple and he is keeping his troops focused.
Mr Obama is a very capable organizer, who is without doubt scary
In double-speak. Anti-Bush dissent good. Anti-Obama mob rule bad. Democracy is what I say. I won.
Fred, good comment.
I must say that I have been bothered by Obama’s reaction to opposition. I honestly thought he wouldnt be heading in this direction. How naive of me.
Pelosi and others are actually worse. There are legimntimate arguments to be made in favour of the Dems position, but they are doing a terrible job of it. In some ways it appears they dont want to get their hands, and minds, dirty by actually thinking the problem through and deliberating on it.
Obama, I cannot figure out his strategy here. He claims he wants something and sets a high level goal yet shuts down the debate about it. In this scenario he should be defending the process, an endefendable one by the way, and giving it time. Alternatively, he needs to drive the process by proposing the bill himself and negotiating it, which he avoids like the plague since he would have to takeresponsibility for it.
At the end of the day, he looks like a dillentente or he is somehow being run by the Congressional Democrats. Unless of course we go to ET’s theory that this guy is like my 8 year old son and things should happen because “I want this”. It shows a lack of understanding of the real process, and also an inablilty to look beyond your own wants and desires, which is odd for a “community organizer”.
Another explaination, is that Obama, is borrowing a machine and tactics. Really isnt involvd in the down and dirty, like Truedeau, but unlike Mulroney Harper or chretien
(or Tony Soprano 🙂 ) who understood what the implication was when an order was given or path embarked on. It gets handed Rahm and other capo’s in the Dem Party and off they go to do the “necessary things”.
Some of the opposition to Obama are crackpots, some of his supporters are as well. But he is burning himself by not living up to his pirproted methods of listening to legitimate criticism and opposition.
Sad, but the US, or the West, really cannot afford another Jimmy Carter Presidency.

Re: “Community organizer vilifies community organizing”
How true and how revealing of the perverse double standards of the thuggish Chicago Democoms running the country. The new national social paradigm is:
Alinski inner city realpolitik = community organizing
Democratic grassroots counter action = terrorism
This Dem regime is far more paranoid at an earlier stage of meltdown than the Klintonistas ever were. Klinton had bloody Janet Reno as his paradigm enforcer, the BO-bots have a ‘Janet’ running a national paramilitary force.
All that’s missing is a new Ruby Ridge or Waco. The civilian body count will be attributed to fighting “anti government terrorism”.
Scary thought of the day: think ACORN with body armour and side arms at your door asking about your online communications.
Four-hundred fifty-eight days, by my count, until we can throw some of the bums out. Nancy Pelosi will almost undoubtedly retain her seat, since being a fool is evidently a requirement to live in her district, but the voters of America can make her the minority leader then.
I believe that Owebama is not his own man. He is simply a vain little man whom others have found useful. That is why his history is such a complete blank. It is also why he does not engage in debate regarding ‘his’ agenda. He personally doesn’t have an agenda except to fulfill his vanity. Its the agenda of the people and organization behind ‘his’ presidency that worries me most.
Lefties: Here that faint murmer in the background,it is a tidal wave of anger and frustration coming your way.
The Obamassiah Thugocracy is losing it. Alinsky tactics is what THEY do to OTHERS. Can’t have it rebound by the others back on the chosen ones.
It is early in the battle and they are already turning their SS SEIU Storm Troopers loose t0 beat up citizens, harass legitimate protesters and stack town hall meetings.
Looks like the $65,000,000 that the SEIU spent to get Obama elected wasn’t enough to keep him popular. So now they have returned to their Union roots of muscle power.
The SEIU needs to keep Obama going long enough to get the Card Check rules in place. Then the SEIU can really take over the American economy, one illegitimate union election after another.
As the artical points out the Dems don’t complain about all the hammers ‘n sickles – somewhat revealing.
Brooks Brothers brigade? I guess the Dems don’t recognize legit protest unless your wearing a ski mask or a bandana covering half your face.
Red Dawn????
So when did Kate move to the United States?
The left will prevail. Truth always does. Obama, despite your wishful thinking will be a two term President. Obama is doing great things for the USA, after eight years of tyranny under Bush, despicable Cheney and Rumsfeld.
> Obama, I cannot figure out his strategy here. He claims he wants something and sets a high level goal yet shuts down the debate about it.
What’s there to figure out? You just accurately described Obama’s strategy.
Troll…..
If Owe is so great and ‘doing great things’, then please, feel more than welcome to move there.
As the reality sinks in of the Big Owe’s failed policies, inflation will wreck your buying power, as the dollar sinks in value to foreign currency, due to his profligate deficit spending, into the Trillions per year now, with no end in sight.
Then, he will turn on the middle class as his personal bank account. Bet on it. Oh, and you can get over Bush and Co. He’s gone, but you can tie the can to BO. What happens from here on in is of his own destructive and naive ideas.
T, go drive-by somewhere else, your ill thought comments have no weight here.
Could you explain, T, how ‘the left’ is essentially connected with ‘Truth’? Thanks in advance.
Oh, and kindly explain the ‘great things’ that Obama is doing for the US.
Oh, and also explain how his actions of denigrating Congress to a rubber stamp, are not indicative of ‘tyranny’.
Joe – I agree with you. Obama, as a pathological narcissist, has only one agenda. Himself. He feels psychologically secure only when he can control others. That’s what the ‘Community Organizer’ role did for him; he wasn’t intellectually or morally involved – or even aware of – the nature of the actions of the people he exhorted to ‘go out and do it’.
Putting him in a role of President, where he cannot control all the population, as not all are part of his ‘team’, renders him vulnerable. Psychologically, he can’t handle questions, dissent, criticism. So, the BackRoom Gang has had to protect him from open questions.
He’s not intellectually involved in the current agenda. He is, intellectually, almost barren of any knowledge of or interest in economics, history, political systems. He hasn’t a clue about finance or health care or health insurance or indeed, anything. His only interest, again, is in his ability to control people and make them ‘adore’ him. That’s it.
Therefore, our concern has to be the BackRoom Gang and their socialist agenda. Obama is merely the upfront man who gave them the power to get their socialism in place in America. And by the way, if he becomes a liability, they’ll dump him.
At the moment, they are cooling him down, and, for example, inserting the Clintons as prime agents. They had to cool down Obama’s racist comments about Gates – and both Obama and Gates were the racists in this situation. There is no way that Obama could have dealt with N. Korea, and they sent the Clintons do do it. They also had to divert Obama’s utterly stupid comments about Honduras and his support for Zelaya by inserting Clinton.
They’ve had to deal with Obama’s flubs and insults on the foreign scene – which they’ve dealt with by denying they happen (bowing to the Saudi King; insulting the UK PM etc).
I think they are realizing that Obama’s strength is only on the campaign trail. His shallowness, ignorance and narcissism prevents anything further. Therefore, the BackRoom Gang are, as I said, bringing the Clintons into the picture.
And, are dealing with dissent, questions, etc on health care, on the economy, by not only misinformation and distortion of facts but above all, by pure thuggery, bullying and harassment.
Biden was useful only to add ‘image’ to Obama but he’s in the background now.
Something else about the BackRoom Gang tactics: divide and conquer. It’s incredible how they are dividing the population. Racism is a key component of Obama’s mindset – he wasn’t in Wright’s domain for 20 years for nothing. And he’s not interested in Christianity – he hasn’t replace his attendance at Wright’s anti-American, anti-white ‘church’ with one in Washington.
And class division is emerging, with Obama, himself wealthy, openly sneering at capitalism and wealthy people..and instead, suggesting that the poor take all the wealth from others. There’ll be more divisions as Obama continues, besides class and race.
My hunch is that the Backroom Gang will have Obama primarily visible only in campaign style barbecue events for a while. They’ll have others do the dirty work of misinforming, distortion, intimidation of citizens. And it will be vicious.
Again – the Backroom Gang are the ones to fear.
T is still ticked that the Soviet Union collapsed….
The COLD WAR is over…your side lost…..accept it.
What do they expect people to do? Embrace an impossible and expensive plan? Imagine their surprise. It’s quite funny to imagine, really.
Ooooh, that scary Socialist agenda. My god where power is taken out of the hands of the corporations, where the government gets involved in ownership, universality of medical care and all of those other frightening things. Ooh we had better be scared. What a bunch of right wing pap. Bring on the Socialists!
ET, I wonder if you could analyze this: Video: Two Faces of Obama
It seems he’s revealing his true feelings when he goes off teleprompter. The intensity of his anger is scary.
Thanks Speedy. Just listened to Betsy McCaughey and was shocked, to say the least.
The government becomes one big corporation in your socialist world T. Can’t have the masses choosing for themselves where they purchase their goods and services from now can we?
T- I can’t think of what to say to you except that you disgust me. You have every right to surrender yourself in chains to “the government” but you have no right to surrender others.
T- you aren’t providing any argument. Just your unsubstantiated opinions. They are empty of facts and reason. Now, answer my questions. Don’t just rant. Any empty-head can do that.
What is wrong with corporations?
What is better about government ownership of production?
And what are the benefits and failures of so-called ‘universal health care’?
Try to think about these issues and answer the questions. Don’t just spout off your opinions without facts or reason.
MoreOn – I think the video is Basic Obama campaign strategy, which consists of Three Tactics: Misinform, Manipulate using the Emotions of Fear and Hope; and Accuse anyone who disagrees of Bias. Those three tactics – are all Obama has to offer as President. The agenda, the ideology, is all from the BackRoom Gang.
In the video, Obama was using the Emotions of ‘Hope’, which he defined as you behaving within the emotion of ‘togetherness’ rather than dissent. He ignores and rejects that a policy HAS to be debated, discussed, questioned. If everyone is ‘together’ then they are all puppets of a Leader.
Notice how he defined any and all who criticize and question as Evil. The images of ‘slash and burn’, arguing, making a mess’.
Notice how he said that he’d listen to other people’s ideas, BUT, if these ideas consist of dissent and argument, then they are unacceptable.
And, notice the Blame of Others. He said ‘the folks who created the mess’. Now wait, is there a mess? Almost 80% of Americans are currently satisfied with their health care. So – what’s he talking about?
Again, Obama is a narcissist. You cannot, ever, question him because that unsettles him. He has to feel that he controls you. If he doesn’t feel that way, he can become violently and viciously angry because he feels so threatened with loss-of-control.
I mean that; he feels his very life is threatened if he feels he can’t control you. So, his first reaction will be anger. After that, you simply cease to exist for him; you actually don’t exist. That’s how he deals with any nation whom he feels he can’t control with his Charm. And with any person. Neither will exist.
You cannot argue or debate policies with him because he intellectually barren; he knows nothing about those policies or issues. He is not an intellect, he doesn’t reason about, analyze ..anything. He merely sells himself and maintains himself in control. That’s all. Literally – that’s all there is to Obama.

I think you about sum the game. The big picture IMO is “CAP & TRADE” and the bonding connection between the EU & American Socialists that will drive Global Governance.. It’s all or nothing for the festering communists of the last 60 years…
A) The 2nd stimulus (yet to be spend) was passed in anticipation that Cap & Trade would tank the Economy (AKA forward stuffing a problem)… Banks where forced to take money & not allowed to pay back tarp funds. This is a smoke screen to hide the damage that Cap & trade would/will cause. The existing trading on the Stock Market is “Obama friendly” Zombie (not traceable) transactions (most likely Stimulus money)
B) Health Care is likewise a pre-emptive policy to hide the effects of loss of employment under Cap & trade. The number of people without health insurance will balloon to (more than) 150 million by 2020. The socialists want the health PLAN in place such that people won’t see the economic damage they intend to implement
The BIG issue is CARBON & global Governance…
Yes! They will dump him if he goes off the Teleprompter again..Talk about unstable
This can only end badly. It is not wise to send one mob of people to confront another mob, especially when the governments behind it and the public is armed. It’s imperative that people at future protests (conservatives or liberals) document the protests for their own protection. I don’t care who instigates the violence, my only concern is the instigator are reprimanded; not those that are attacked.
I can’t prove it, but I have a very strong feeling that all of this is anticipated and orchestrated. It’s a testament to the American people that they’ve been able to wade through the tidal wave of propaganda that has been thrown their way, not to mention the additional intimidation.
Remember what “W” said “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice; well, you can’t fool me again”. Americans have already been fooled at least three times : 1- the DNS document, 2- stupid white cop gate, 3- organizing mobs to intimidate citizens. I said early in the year that the DNS document on right-wing extremists was the most disconcerting thing I’ve read, and I felt it was the opening volley in an assault on conservatives. If this continues, it’s going to end badly. I predict the “Civilian” troopers the President discussed that are “funded as well as the military” are just around the corner.
Funny , that sign doesn’t look mass produced …

“Then, he will turn on the middle class as his personal bank account. Bet on it.”
That’s not a bad thing as far as T is concerned. IMO the real key to defeating those with beliefs such as his is to expose their motives to the main stream public. Once people understand socialist don’t have their best interests in mind, but instead are simply lying to extract the possessions of others, the scam is derailed. History has shown this quite clearly. You get that T? Socialism is bad for poor people, it prevents them from becoming rich by siphoning their wealth and GIVING IT TO THE RICH!
Regarding T, of all the trolls he is the one that shouldn’t be fed the most. He has clearly demonstrated a lack of understanding of the political process in the US. He literally offers nothing constructive at all. It is a big waste of breath attempting to debate him. True, he may not have the insight to debate effectively, but the funny thing is, he actually thinks he’s debating, and winning. Worse, he takes peoples honest responses and concerns for his own well being as an attack. He doesn’t even know you’re trying to help him by informing him. That being said, I’m feeling full of hot air today so I’ll feed him.
T
You could be right about 2012, Obama probably will win in 2012 but to what end? The GOP will break the super majority in 2010 and probably save Obama from himself. They could even have a majority in one or both houses by 2012. You see T, Obama doesn’t get to appoint his Senators. Too bad eh?
Obama is treading precariously close to squandering his once in a generation opportunity to have real “change”(not that I support that). The problem is, Obama doesn’t have his own agenda. He’s delegated running America to others; his “Capo’s” as someone described them. With so many people pulling him in so many directions and having so many personal agendas, there is no continuity in his policy or with his vision. His complete disregard for public sentiment or reality (as ET predicted) has accelerated the inevitable dissent of a mislead public. That’s right T, Americans were mislead with respect to Obama’s beliefs and vision. But hey, I’m not hating, the Americans got what they paid for; remember, “buyer beware”.
I think what really pisses you off is that little document called the Constitution that has checks and balances that empower “the people”. The very same people you claim empathies with, yet your actions and words are to the contrary.
“Notice how he said that he’d listen to other people’s ideas, BUT, if these ideas consist of dissent and argument, then they are unacceptable.”
Yeah, I think he told those that dissent to “be quiet” yesterday. In the real world I think that means shut-up.
I thought he was a community organizer?
T
I forgot:
The bottom line is, if Obama cannot maintain party discipline, he could be the first two term lame duck President; because yes I agree, Obama may very well win the next election.
Curiously, those who despise the competitive marketplace and fight against corporate monopolies appear to be quite willing to subjugate their freedom of choice and replace it with a state monopoly.
Obama gives lip service to the free market system, which has made America the greatest nation ever, while articulating that he’s in favour of a single-payer ie government-run and by definition a monopolistic insurance system.
He organizes, while intimidating those exercising their First Amendment right to freedom of speech by unleashing SIEU thugs onto the populace.
If this isn’t fascism, or another apparition of National Socialism, I’d like T or somebody of his ilk to explain to me what he believe what oppression (are free markets oppressive?) these thugs are allegedly fighting.
Slap Shot
I find your hypothesis interesting. If what you say is true, then all those in Canada, the US and other western democracies that desire “one world governance” must have been brain washed. After all, what possible benefit can be gained by us by reducing America for example to the lowest COMMON denominator?
I believe as I always repeat that the true motives of the aforementioned people is OPP(yeah you know me). The end result may be as you predict, and I will agree it’s what those outside of the west desire, but I don’t believe it’s the motivating factor behind our socialists here at home. Nope, the true motivator is laziness, greed and envy.JMO

regarding Carbon:
The Americans long ago realized that Kyoto was a transfer of wealth to accomplish what you say. I believe someone in the UN actually let it slip that it was to advance “social justice” or something like that. That being said, Cash for Carbon is still a great scam and it will work nicely here at home. And let’s be honest, can you see any liberals, socialists or Democrats actually sending billions of their hard earned (oops I meant hard scammed) tax dollars over seas to help people? Black and Brown people? Uh, uh, ain’t going to happen. Philanthropy is a conservative trait, and a liberal talking point, not the other way around. Conservatives understand that helping others help themselves, helps themselves. Liberals don’t understand this; liberals believe humans by nature are evil and must be guided by the enlightened.
There’s no way Obama will be a two term president,he’s pissed off too many people,including some on the left because he’s reneged on some of his campaign promises that the left hold so dear,like gitmo,and he’s only just begun.I can’t wait to see who he’ll throw under the bus next as he asserts more of his Chicagoon style governing,after all,he won.
ET…..don’t waste your time and energy expecting “T” to respond to your questions in a coherent,adult way. Go out and enjoy what little bit of a cool summer we have remaining. After all,like all socialist,facist,marxist,leftards, “T” subscribes to the following…….research and learning takes time,ignorance is instantaneous.
I’m not so sure that the “backroom gang” is just a bunch of socialists. It includes them but also crony capitalists …Soros and Goldman Sachs and …dare I say it … the capitalist Messiah … Warren Buffet. They all add up to our equivalent of Paul Desmarais who ran the Liberal party out of Quebec and thus quietly influenced Canadian politics more than most of us realize.
Desmarais is not an evil person, neither is Buffet. But they have selfish interests in trillion dollar economies and what better way to reduce the risk of their investments than to have influence through their puppets, the heads of countries?
The checks and balances of the Senate and the Congress should be to break the backs of these conflicts of interests. But they are all part of it now. Not to mention Obama’s Czars running industries.
I never would have thought the US would become so much like a banana republic Canada had descended into, pre Harper. Scary!
Right, nomdeblog. The checks and balances are the stepped elections, the multi-tiered governance, the rejection of appointed positions, the free press, the amendments of free speech and freedom of association.
Now, watch what Obama and his Gang, or should I say, the BackRoom Gang and Obama, are doing to this infrastructure.
Freedom of speech is being openly denied by this Obama administration. He says it openly: ‘Either you are with us or against us’..His Newspeak for that assertion is: “We are all in this together” which translates to ‘Either you are with us”. And his Newspeak for the opposite is “slash and burn and arguing”.
Remember how Bush was derided for such a statement – and he was only referring to The War on Terror. Not internal domestic policies. But Obama is referring to His Internal Domestic Policies, not terrorism (which he denies exists anyway)…And there’s no opposition permissable. None.
None. So, the agenda will be to demonize questions, dissent; to harass and intimidate anyone who isn’t ‘For Us/Obama’.
The attack on free speech and freedom of association will be vicious. Just watch.
Then, watch for the corruption of the elections, with vicious misinformation and distortion in the campaigns.
There’ll be a reduction of accountability because Obama is appointing all his aides, those ‘czars’ and they are unaccountable to the people.
He’s reducing the ELECTED legislature, by insisting that Congress pass motions on TRUST rather than by Reasoned Debate and Analysis. Obama rejects Congress reading and debating his bills. I repeat: he rejects Congress reading and debating his bills.
How dare you question The Great One? That’s how a narcissist thinks. Obama wants Congress to pass the bills without reading them. To read and debate them shows a ‘lack of trust’ in your Leader. Your Glorious Leader.
We’re going to hear this said aloud…
The BackRoom Gang might not be a bunch of socialists but their agenda is socialist, for tis the only way to centralise an economy and get it within their control and reduce the power of other Americans to be ‘capitalist’ and have economic power. The agenda is to reduce the ability of free Americans..to be economically and intellectually free..and to vest all power within the hands of the BackRoom Gang.
The press is starting to wake up. The blogs are certainly highly aware what is going on. What’s next? Can they silence the dissent? They’re going to try to with misinformation and blatant intimidation.
But…they might have to ditch Obama if he makes troulbe with his narcissistic focus on himself.
“The BackRoom Gang might not be a bunch of socialists but their agenda is socialist”
ET, I’m sure it is mostly socialists but also crony capitalists because it is a marriage of convenience. I never understood until recently why Bay St was so pro Trudeau, pro deficits, pro more Government bonds, pro inflation … it was all very good for the skim business.
Socialism can work for the establishment, for the mega companies that don’t like to rock the boat because they dominate their markets. Obama promised a new kind of capitalism and we’re getting it:
Crony Capitalism.
It’s a co-dependency. They need each other. Goldman Sachs now is the world’s dominant investment bank and as Obama’s biggest political donner has influence on the Treasury… bigger deficits, more debt…that just means more government bonds GS can sell and take their skim.
Buffet has all kinds of investments in financial institutions and also I think in Moody’s the credit rating agency. What better way to maximize those investments then to influence Obama to allow Buffet to become the de facto financial Czar in the background. I’ll bet Bush and Buffet seldom talked; I’ll bet Obama and Buffet talk regularly. Buffet comes across as Main Street folksy … don’t believe it.
Don’t forget it was Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act (almost rhymes with Community Organizer) that got us into the financial crisis which turned an otherwise mild recession into a crisis.
In short, I’m starting to understand why Main Street is so anti-Wall St. The cronyism needs to have a light shone on it. Thankfully in Canada I think we got that bad movie behind us, however we should always be weary to not only separate Church and State but also Bay St and Ottawa.
I don’t have much to add that hasn’t already been said. I just want to say this: Obama and his crew are getting scarier and scarier with each passing day. And, I don’t use that word lightly. I am all too aware of the flippant use of the “scary” and “extreme” memes hurled at Canadian conservatives over the past 15-20 years. As such, I don’t use those descriptions lightly, myself.
Obama and his administration scare the hell out of me. His ideas and policies pose an existential threat to the Republic. The U.S.A. will survive in some form or another, but if The One gets his way, it will not be a land where one can chase life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, I’m not even American!
Both mine and my wife’s family experienced in Russia the largess and benevolence of the sort of system T wants. Thankfully they escaped in the early 1920s. Other family members were not able to escape. Some of them were done away with and others and their descendants lived in slavery until 1990. The Soros types are not surprising as there were similar market manipulators and fellow travellers in the 1920s and 30s.
Maurice Strong – the scariest of all.
The joke is actually on people like T who believe that the “organizer”, Maurice Strong, Soros, et al, are doing all this for “the good of the people”. Like the executioners said to the Cambodians just before slitting their throats “this is for the good of the people”. An even bigger joke on people like T is when the object of their affection bites them after they get control.
What socialism does is to remove power from the people and put it in the hands of an oligarchy, a small set of dictators. That’s the basic infrastructure of socialism.
Now, that set, that oligarchy, can be made up of ‘crony capitalists’ – such as the infamous Chretien-Desmarais family in Canada, a set who comprise Chretien, Martin, Strong, the Desmarais and even Mulroney..This set seek to garner an authoritarian control on the reins of the economyto set up themselves as the key controllers and agents in the economy.
They use the political system to gain this control. Their agenda is NOT for the well-being of the population but, that financial and economic control of the whole economic infrastructure of the nation.
We’ve seen this in Canada, which was reduced, economically, to a dependency on the US economy, and where the key industrial and manufacturing complexes were owned by this ‘Set’ (Desmarais etc).
The problem with the US moving into such an economic mode is that it, as an economic mode, is non-productive. If you take independence of thought, freedom to question, and the capacity to make wealth, away from a population – then, your industrial capacity – to create new technologies, new manufacturing systems, new products etc, dies. And dies fast.
Do these BackRoom Gang realize this? In their eagerness to control the economy – do they realize that such a reduction of the population from a middle class (free thinkers, independent minds and businesses)…to a passive dependent class of acquiescent sheep…means that the Great Industrial Power of the US will end?
Obama certainly doesn’t know; he has no capacity to think and analyze. But, what’s the agenda of the BackRoom Gang?
T, a small piece of advice?
Smart trolls pack up their tent and go home when they garner the attention of ET.
Did I just type “smart trolls”? Oh well, let the blood letting continue.
“Do these BackRoom Gang realize this?”
Interesting question. It’s almost as if the “BackRoom Gang” and thier supporters believe that if America stops progressing the rest of the world will remain static as well. That is the only long term strategy I can come up with to maintain the status quo from their perspective.
“But, what’s the agenda of the BackRoom Gang?”
My guess is the “Buffets” will see the error of their ways. They were playing checkers and should have been playing chess. Unlike Obama, they are not mailroom boys, they think like CEO’s, they’ll get it.
The GOP will clean its own house of elitists and come up with a leader that will go into 2010 and take the House. Then we’ll see the checks and balances return.
The good news is that Obama and his backroom gang are so dreadful they’ve scared the hell out of middle class American and it cannot go on. The market is also telling us that… it is back to Oct 2008 levels after a dreadful fall by March 9th when it looked like Obama might turn America into Europe.
Ron in Kelowna mentioned Maurice Strong. For Kate’s American readers, Maurice is the silent “Prince” in
the Canadian Machiavellian power brokers club.
“Obama, despite your wishful thinking will be a two term President” – T
T, here is a little exercise for you. Find out which pollster called the 2004 election and the 2008 election the closest. You can use google, because if I tell you who it is, you will think I am lying. Then see what that pollster finds Obama’s current approval number to be with “Likely Voters”. Then you can look at results of recent special elections, like the one in Deleware and look that the polling for the two governor’s races this fall, both of which are occurring in states that went for Obama.
After you have done all of this research, come back and tell me how your statement that Obama will be a two term president is based on anything other than wishful thinking on your part.
