Hey folks,
Remember I said yesterday that I was going to rant today. I SAID, no articles, no links. I told you that I was debating someone this past weekend that just really ticked me off. Well, on my SECOND point, one I was not going to talk about today, the Politico DID just posted a piece yesterday that illustrates my second point. So THAT is what I will talk about today.OK. So I'm having this debate with this person, and we are talking about how "great" Obama is. I will rant about THAT soon. But they actually said this. "Well, you might not have to worry about Obama anyway. You know that some Racist White guy will attempt to take him out."
I said to this person. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard it all before. But why not look INSIDE for the threat." Now in the first five minutes I could tell that this person drank the Obamaid. That they were completely taken in to believe that this guy was the closest thing to God we have ever seen. They just could not grasp what I was talking about.
I have heard all these conspiracy theories before. What they all have in common is that some White, Redneck, KKK, member, or the Republicans themselves, will attempt to take out Obama. Some I heard even say on or before the Inauguration. So let me throw something out there for all the conspiracists out there.
Look at JFK. Some say that this was an inside job. That his own people took him out. Here is a guy that came along and promised a lot of people a lot of things that he KNEW he would never be able to keep. He lead many people into believing in things that were and never would be true. So, they got him elected and then when he didn't do what he said, they arranged to have him killed.Now look at Obama. Obama came along and promised EVERYONE something. He made all these promises that he could never keep, even if he wanted to. He has lead many people to believe things that are not and never will be true. He is already backing away from a lot of his promises, and he isn't even officially in office yet. The far Left Wing Loony Fringe, the LWL, are NOT happy.
According to the Politico - Liberals voice concerns about Obama
Liberals are growing increasingly nervous – and some just flat-out angry – that President-elect Barack Obama seems to be stiffing them on Cabinet jobs and policy choices.
Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left.
Now some are shedding a reluctance to puncture the liberal euphoria at being rid of President George W. Bush to say, in effect, that the new boss looks like the old boss.
“He has confirmed what our suspicions were by surrounding himself with a centrist to right cabinet. But we do hope that before it's all over we can get at least one authentic progressive appointment,” said Tim Carpenter, national director of the Progressive Democrats of America.
Remember folks, "Progressive" equals Socialist.
OpenLeft blogger Chris Bowers went so far as to issue this plaintive plea: “Isn't there ever a point when we can get an actual Democratic administration?”
Told you that the once great democrat party is gone. Completely taken over by the LWL.
Even supporters make clear they’re on the lookout for backsliding. “There’s a concern that he keep his basic promises and people are going to watch him,” said Roger Hickey, a co-founder of Campaign for America’s Future.
Yeah, they are watching him VERY closely. Very closely.
Obama insists he hasn’t abandoned the goals that made him feel to some like a liberal savior. But the left’s bill of particulars against Obama is long, and growing.
Obama drew rousing applause at campaign events when he vowed to tax the windfall profits of oil companies. As president-elect, Obama says he won’t enact the tax.
Obama’s pledge to repeal the Bush tax cuts and redistribute that money to the middle class made him a hero among Democrats who said the cuts favored the wealthy. But now he’s struck a more cautious stance on rolling back tax cuts for people making over $250,000 a year, signaling he’ll merely let them expire as scheduled at the end of 2010.
Obama’s post-election rhetoric on Iraq and choices for national security team have some liberal Democrats even more perplexed. As a candidate, Obama defined and separated himself from his challengers by highlighting his opposition to the war in Iraq from the start. He promised to begin to end the war on his first day in office.
Now Obama’s says that on his first day in office he will begin to “design a plan for a responsible drawdown,” as he told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. Obama has also filled his national security positions with supporters of the Iraq war: Sen. Hillary Clinton, who voted to authorize force in Iraq, as his secretary of state; and President George W. Bush’s defense secretary, Robert Gates, continuing in the same role.
The central premise of the left’s criticism is direct – don’t bite the hand that feeds, Mr. President-elect. The Internet that helped him so much during the election is lighting up with irritation and critiques.
“There don't seem to be any liberals in Obama's cabinet,” writes John Aravosis, the editor of Americablog.com. “What does all of this mean for Obama's policies, and just as important, Obama Supreme Court announcements?”
“Actually, it reminds me a bit of the campaign, at least the beginning and the middle, when the Obama campaign didn't seem particularly interested in reaching out to progressives,” Aravosis continues. “Once they realized that in order to win they needed to marshal everyone on their side, the reaching out began. I hope we're not seeing a similar ‘we can do it alone’ approach in the transition team.”
This isn’t the first liberal letdown over Obama, who promptly angered the left after winning the Democratic primary by announcing he backed a compromise that would allow warrantless wiretapping on U.S. soil to continue.
You see folks. We know these people, the LWL are nuts. We know that the Left are vengeful, angry, ignorant people that THINK that THEY are smarter than the average person and they are those that want to change this country into a Socialistic, Centrist Government run country. The NEW USSA.
You see what happens when you promise EVERY ONE of these nut cases and idiotic groups all these things. They MAKE you. These loons and the Mainstream Media, got Obama elected. The Sheeple out there blindly and out of greed, Voted for him. Now they want him to anti up. When you let someone else make you. They can also break you.
Now this goes on and one. But here is Obama's response to some of this criticism from the LWL. It is such a generic answer, it can be used to cover a VAST amount of things.
“My economic team right now is examining, do we repeal that through legislation? Do we let it lapse so that, when the Bush tax cuts expire, they're not renewed when it comes to wealthiest Americans?” Obama said on “Meet the Press.” “We don't yet know what the best approach is going to be.”
On Iraq, he says he’s just trying to make sure any U.S. pullout doesn’t ignite “any resurgence of terrorism in Iraq that could threaten our interests.”
Obama has told his supporters to look beyond his appointments, that the change he promised will come from him and that when his administration comes together they will be happy.
“I think that when you ultimately look at what this advisory board looks like, you'll say this is a cross-section of opinion that in some ways reinforces conventional wisdom, in some ways breaks with orthodoxy in all sorts of way,” Obama recently said in response to questions about his appointments during a news conference on the economy.
Basically, Obama is saying, hey times have changes and we must change with them. You know, I have no idea what I'm going to do yet, so just relax. Love me, do not question me. I am the Messiah. Yet, it seems the Disciples are getting restless.
So if you really are going to talk about those that may wish to harm Obama, let's not leave out the threat from within. Then again, do not forget one more point. The Clintons are right there inside as well. {Smile}
