Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?

A party in power grows increasingly thuggish;

What the town-hall meetings represent is a feeling of rebellion, an uprising against change they do not believe in. And the Democratic response has been stunningly crude and aggressive. It has been to attack. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, accused the people at the meetings of “carrying swastikas and symbols like that.” (Apparently one protester held a hand-lettered sign with a “no” slash over a swastika.) But they are not Nazis, they’re Americans. Some of them looked like they’d actually spent some time fighting Nazis.
Then came the Democratic Party charge that the people at the meetings were suspiciously well-dressed, in jackets and ties from Brooks Brothers. They must be Republican rent-a-mobs. Sen. Barbara Boxer said on MSNBC’s “Hardball” that people are “storming these town hall meetings,” that they were “well dressed”, that “this is all organized,” “all planned,” to “hurt our president.” Here she was projecting. For normal people, it’s not all about Barack Obama.

“Thuggish” too strong a word?

As this column is written, there comes word that John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO has announced he’ll be sending in union members to the meetings to counter health care’s critics.

You know what they say – you can take the politician out of Chicago….

“But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”

But the One needs your help in shutting people up. David Harsanyi explains“If you’re a virtuous and patriotic American, you may find this column either offensive or misleading. If so, please forward it to White House authorities at the Department of Fishy Activity. (E-mail the good people at flag@whitehouse.gov)
There’s plenty of video of those Nazis who won’t shut up at Drudge this morning.
And these just in: dangerous mob photos smuggled out of town hall meetings…

  1. It’s time those old union goons earned their standby pay keep. What seems strange is the complete lack of imagination being displayed by the great “O” administration. How tough would it be to get a phony group of black pro-Obamacare oldsters beat up on network TV by some hired thugs pretending to be racist progeny of devil worshiping, handgun owning, insurance company executives?
    It’s not like the MSM would stop to do a smell test before running with the story.

  2. “But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
    ~Barack Hussein Obama

    The Kenyan is one of the ones directly responsible for “creating the mess”.
    His “community organizing” was all about forcing banks, through his organized protests, to give sub-prime loans to people who would never repay them.
    These sub-prime loans were what caused the housing bubble, then the housing bubble burst, which caused the recession.
    Far from “cleaning up the mess”, the Kenyan’s policies are deepening the recession.

  3. Time for some real pushback. Can’t wait for the next elections. A Republican senate with a mandate and a chip on their shoulder could undue a lot of the damage.
    Remember how Nixon was the most hated president? Obama has just raised the bar.

  4. From the WSJ link: He [Sen. Cornyn] also accused the White House of compiling an “enemies list.” If so, they’re being awfully public about it, but as Byron York at the Washington Examiner pointed, the emails collected could become a “dissident database.”
    Tin foil hat time? From a National Guard job posting, As an Internment/Resettlement Specialist for the Army National Guard, you will ensure the smooth running of military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility

  5. This is standard Democratic tactics, straight from the old play book. In the old days, it was the Klan and the unions. Today, it is black supremacists and the unions. Tammany Hall has not disappeared, it is now ACORN and we have several Boss Tweeds, among them George Soros.
    Still no word on our own Boss Tweed; Chairman Mo.

  6. The unions “owe” Obama and now he owns them. After all he was generous enough to steal the assets of two car companies and turn them over to the auto workers’ union. So now his wish to keeps citizens from being heard is the unions command.

    Hate to burst the bubble, but do you honestly think there will BE a free election that a Republican – a true, conservative Republican – will win in America?
    In 2010 or EVER?
    Hate to be a pessimist on this, but Obama can tell his popularity is tanking. He’s no dummy and he knows that if people are this ticked off, it doesn’t bode well for him in 2012 or his lickspittles in up for re-election in 2010. Which is why he’s so eager for ACORN et. al. to get involved with next year’s census.
    There will not be another fair or free election in the USA. Obama will make sure of that because, after all, HE WON and therefore he can be president for however long he pleases. There’s a reason repealing the 22nd Amendment was floated before the man even took office (http://www.infowars.com/king-obama-house-considers-repealing-22nd-amendment/).

  8. Story of the day:
    Black conservative protester called n-word by black liberal protestor, beaten up at town hall meeting, for carrying Don’t Tread on Me flyers.
    Among those arrested “in connection to” the beating?
    A local reporter. What are the chances he votes Democrat? Statistically excellent.

  9. “Hate to burst the bubble, but do you honestly think there will BE a free election that a Republican – a true, conservative Republican – will win in America?”
    Yes I do. The tail has been wagging the dog for too long. I understand where you’re coming from though. But even with Acorn, the unions, the MSM, Obama barely won the election. Plus there was poor voter turnout. The old saying about “angry people vote” may prove true next time around.
    If I’m wrong we are truly doomed.
    When I heard that Jack Layton was going to advise Obama on Health Care issues I couldn’t imagine why they needed him. Now I understand though. He was advising him on how to mobilize unions as gangs of thugs to intimidate honest citizens.

  10. There really is nothing Obama can not do. With the Republicans in such disarray, he’ll have no problem winning a second term, its hard enough to unseat a sitting President with a well organized campaign, let alone with one that is in shambles. He made a wonderful appointment to the US Supreme Court. Hs the support and admiration of European countries as well as the majority of Canadians. I say “rock on” President Obama, “rock on”.

  11. republican senior citizens in the streets of our cities – the horror!!
    This stuff by the dems is right out of the Alinsky playbook. But at some point that playbook – the tactics for the underdog will not work as the Dems are now in the leadership position. Then the goebbels playbook will be dusted off and America will have to endure the greatest internal crisis since the great depression.

  12. O has all the time in the world for dictators, terrorists, thugs, thieves and goons. He’s even put thugs, thieves and goons in his gov’t.
    He has no time at all and is dismissive of real ordinary concerned citizens of America voicing their opinions. They aren’t leftie activists with buttons in their ears and pierced cheeks, so they can’t be “real”.
    Pelosi and Boxer inflaming the rhetoric, calling them names.
    A real unifer, hey? Nice job, O. Demonize half the country….
    This is very similar to what goes on in our country all the time. Oh, all those Canadians who showed up at the anti-coalition rallies can’t possibly be “real”, remember?

  13. “Black conservative protester called n-word by black liberal protestor, beaten up at town hall meeting, for carrying Don’t Tread on Me flyers.”
    Where are all the calls for a “hate crime” charge?
    All I hear are crickets.

  14. T is still ticked that the Soviet Union collapsed. The people there finally got rid of the big scam.

    The Kenyan it seems is succeeding in uniting the USA….against him….that’s cohesion….
    This is why Sarah Palin has panicked them so thoroughly…..and the birther thing persists…
    The problem the Democrats have is by utilizing the brown shirt tactics…..their opposition is exactely the constituency that the Nazi’s succeeded in recruiting…..veterans, tradesmen, small business, landowners…….
    The Republicans only appear to be in disarray….but in effect are just decentralized..but easilly united….
    The Democrats have assembled a formidable political machine…..that is highly centralized and vulnerable because of that…..
    The Democrats key asset is/was Obamamania which is faltering badly….getting ridiculed now in political cartoons and by late night comedians….
    Major political planks/agendas such as AGW are collapsing……
    Goon tactics are counter-productive and the left have drawn first blood….
    Interesting times…hopefully not too bloody….

  16. Sorry Kin, but all those people and the SCAM are still there. I’m not a big fan of the French but they probably found the only effective way to get rid of the scum; detach their heads from the rest of their body’s. Of course what they ended up with was just as bad, if not worse, then what they were trying to get rid of.

  17. [quoter]Gooning is stupid. It goes to show how fundamentally the dems do not understand the American people, the American spirit. They are probably thinking, instead, that this time around, they will get socialism right, and will set a new example for the world.[/quote]
    The Union goons of the crack-head generation are pussy wozzies… They are phoney goons! If the Barbara Boxers connections to the Teamsters/and other Unions get pro-active (push comes to shove) they will be the ones going into the wood chippers…..The teamsters/Americans of the 50/60/70’s will not be intimidated by shit heads.
    If the Obama generation wants a revolution, bring it on..Wimps

  18. Oh yeah, the more Obama campaigns in Virginia for the D candidate for Gov, the lower his[Obama’s] numbers go and the higher the R candidate’s go. Even the owner of Black Entertainment Television, an Obama supporter during the election, is supporting the R.

  19. Considering that ammunition and reloading components factories now have 7-8 months backlog, sucks to be a commie in the USA if push comes to shove. This has been going on since before the election and I can virtually hear shoveling. Sales of plastic pipes at Home Depot must be soaring. Billy Ayers bit more than he could swallow.

  20. The left are most dangerous ounce they have gained power not when they are trying to obtain it. Paranoid dictators in the last hundred years have shown how they have turned on their citizens and even liquidating members of their own party. Obama is no different. The Cabal has invested a very large purse putting this usurper on throne therefore they are going to see that they collect and the tribe stays in positions of power.
    With the possibility of a collapsing US dollar, massive inflation even a severe depression and political instability in the US, you can guarantee that sharks will be circling in both the pacific and the Atlantic waiting.

  21. The Obama thugs are pushing the edge of civilized democracy. As typical of liberals, they do not recognize that when they take away the creator endowed rights, recognized by the Constitution, of speech and assembly from their opponents, they leave the opponents no alternative except flee or fight. The reason we have a deliberative democracy is to defuse the tendency to rebel or create ton ton macutes. Historical experience shows that when any government or its bureaucrats act as the Obama believers have been doing, the result can be very deadly. They need to back off and and let people assemble and talk – not just those who agree with them.

  22. Now the DNC is deploying AFL-CIO palookas while hypocritically dismissing Obamacare opponents as paid shills -even running disengenuous TV ads to slander them- meanwhile SanFranNan is halucinating and seeing imaginary Swastikas.
    This should make clear to anyone just what these far-left elitists think of your opinion.
    Note that whenever Obama, Emanuel, or Gibbs are asked about why polls show SO many people oppose their misguided Cap-n-Trade and Obamacare proposals, they ALWAYS segue-right-into “we need to educate the public…”.
    LOL- save your breath… Constitutionally-aware patriots don’t take lectures from Marxists.

  23. I wonder how many democratic senators and congressmen have been reported to flag@whitehouse.gov as giving misleading information. I’d bet the White House website is the source most reported.

  24. Let me understand this.
    You can have legions of Bush haters spewing all forms of public filth at W, but that’s “free speech”. Books are published describing his assassination, and that, too, is “free speech”. You have frothing liberal idiots like olbermann and matthews besh1tting their venom – daily – at bush, and that’s “freedom of the media”.
    But you get a couple of cranky oldsters asking questions at a town hall meeting, and they’re a “mob”?
    The left is detestable, in almost every possible incarnation. They despise free speech, liberty, and any possibility that citizens may choose to live their lives without government interference. They all worship, either consciously or unconsciously, at the altar of saul alinsky.
    A more bottom-feeding, worthless lot you’ll never find. The left is the biggest threat to personal freedom and liberty in modern times. They are statists, all.

  25. A politician in England recently openly admited the socialist want different cultures to compete for Government supremacy ergo their Mulitcultural Policies were designed to divide society into little competing blocks. That’s what the socialist do they divide a nation, Obama is using healthcare as a red herring his real goal is to divide the people and have them turn on each other. His policies are designed to divide and eventually it’s them against us. The left are easily brain washed into the Obama Cult, and they are becoming dangerous thugs.
    Keep those camera’s rolling MSM will accuse the right for violence whilst they look away as the unhinged left go on a violent meltdown.

  26. “Hs the support and admiration of European countries as well as the majority of Canadians.”
    Do you actually think that the average American casts a ballot based on what foreigners think? Golly gee … I’d better vote for Obama ’cause Canadians think he’s a swell guy.
    And the last time that I looked, Europeans and Canadians were not allowed to vote in American elections.

  27. biffjr, that’s because europeans and canucks won’t have to live with the disasters maobama is instituting. One good thing to emerge, perhaps: when d’ohbama guts the US military, canada and europe will lose their free ride, and we’ll have to start spending serious dough on our armed forces. That will divert funds from lunacies like the CBC, and other innumerable forms of government pork.

    Agreed, I’ve said as much before. I believe that BO and company were/are banking on a few things. First and foremost that there will be a perceived economic recovery in 2011-2012 that should put him over the top in that election. The reason being, if you spend the trillions they’ve “budgeted” for it will eventually trickle down. Shortly after 2012 the house of cards falls, then the fun starts. Civil unrest from the middle class(mostly white people) becomes a reality, but fortunately for BO the seeds have been sowed(ie..DNS rightwing extremist memo) for 5+yrs in preparation for… after all, it’s in the name of national security.

    I agree about the p**sies and I’ll go as far as saying the left generally are p**sies, and terrorists for that matter. When push comes to shove literally, those make-up wearing dudes and the pant suit wearing mutts would get stomped; but, dudes like you and I will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law if we ever laid a finger or “shoved someone in the face”. Civil police forces are today’s “brown shirts” in western society. They’re mandate is to enforce politically correct dogma for our governments.

  29. I guess I should say that my criticism of police is directed at the institutions not the individuals. I don’t see the difference politically between the police, unions and the social sciences crowd.

  30. In the interests of accuracy, shouldn’t “union muscle” better be described as “union flab”? Seriously, there is an element in the union movement that lives for his crap; they’re not bright enough to be union officials – and that’s pretty dumb! – or sit on committees with impressive names, but they can squeeze into a tee shirt and push people around. Well, smaller people, anyway.
    BTW, I’ve belonged to blue collar and civil service unions, that’s how I can recognize the type.

  31. “T,
    what color is the sky in your world?”

    I can answer that! His sky is brown.

  32. The Intolerant Left has tipped their hand far too early, I would have thought they would hold off until the economy is actually on some solid footing.
    I do not know about you but 250K Job loss and 455K reduction in Job Seekers is NOT a sign of recovery it is a sign of Economist driven statistical fantasy and is means that citizens are piling into the safety nets (which will sink State Budgets because the Stimulus will be running out).
    Unemployment in numbers went up but the rate went down (9.5 to 9.4), how stupid do they think people are?
    When the tea parties were ignored and mocked I knew then that the POTUS made a big mistake, he should have acknowledged them. People are tired of not being heard by their politicians, this is only going to get worse the more these people are ridiculed and ignored.
    I say its about time that the Dems get a dose of good old fashioned democracy, and witness real public outrage instead of the manufactured protests of Code Pink and the rest of the Bush Bashers. You see they believe all political protests are constructed because that is what the left does.

  33. Re: posts about the prolonged demise of Republicans and conservatism.
    True, the far right, which is a large minority of both the US & Canada, will not have a ruler enacting their policies in either country for a long time. This is because the positive effect of their policies would not be felt until after the election cycle.
    Picture Harper with a strong majority of 200+ seats. He immediately enacts far-right policies and effectively lets go more than half of the federal employees (2/3 is actually better). Even if the unemployment rate is less than 5%, it will immediately jump to double digits after this move. In addition, that’s a lot of voters, many of whom will find it very difficult to find work in the private sector within 4 years. Sure many jobs will move to the private sector, but that will likely take a decade – eons in the political world.
    The best strategy for conservatives are sloth-like moves toward less government with small Liberal carrots thrown into policies from time to time. Harper seems to be doing this.
    We are right to worry about political policies in the short-term, but it took an avalanche of bad things – anti-Bush sentiment, relatively weak Presidential candidate, a massive recession – just to get a Democrat in the White House. Educated americans know about the checks and balances in their system, and will learn when there are virtually none when the legislative branches and President are controlled by the same ideology. They will learn to maintain these checks next November.
    Regardless, the Democrats, Liberals, MSM are all in bed together with a monopoly on hypocrisy: They do it: it’s bad; we do it: it’s good, very good.

  35. I’m damn angry at these obammy facsist thugs pushing ordinary people around and I’m not even an American. Wake up USA!! If this doesn’t make you want to fight back hard, then what will? Your freedom is on the line. Make no mistake about it. You have two choices. Fight or submit.

  36. I would be scared as well with so many unregistered dentures.
    This is the ultimate insult to Americans . Everyone who disagrees with beloved leader. Citizens to be ratted on to a government gone mad with power. Because they don’t agree with Obama.
    Years of the nut roots with al the antics & deranged behavior to Bush. They serve us up this drivel marinated in the language of the police State. This after the spectacles of the left. Monster lecturing their prey.
    I wait for the Day Osama is impeached. For those who thought this guy was misunderstood. I hope that illusion is gone. Remember read “rules for Radicals”. Its Obama’s play book.

  37. This is no longer about Chicago style politics. Owe’s positions against democracy in Honduras and the Middle East indicates that his dedication to the American political religion is considerably less than total. We have a problem here and it is not just about health care.

  38. Obama. Champion of the Oppressed.
    How dare the oppressors fight the changing of the oppression?

  39. I wait for the Day Osama is impeached.
    ~Revnant Dream

    It takes a supermajority in the House to impeach.
    Do you think they’ll need Dems to form that supermajority and if so, do you think Dems will impeach the historically first Black President in U.S. history?
    I’m wit’ choo on the rest, though.
    To those who said they wanted the Kenyan to succeed, “This is how Mao’Bama plans to proceed, do you still want him to succeed?”
