VK...as a PS to my post above....the article I am linking to is written by a conservative writer for sure but I agree with him totally.

Remember during the campaign when I mentioned that Obama was considered the expert on Alinsky rules, although I readily admit the rules are used by folks on both sides, but Obama has,and is widely known to, have perfected these and lest we forget...does this sound like Alinsky...

"The omens are everywhere. Iran is close to obtaining nuclear weapons. The eurozone is in crisis. The U.S. unemployment rate is near 10 percent. America’s social insurance programs threaten to bankrupt the country. And—most unusual—the Washington Nationals are above .500.

But rest easy. None of this is distracting the Obama administration and congressional Democrats from their fulltime occupation: demonizing the political opposition."

The writer goes on to detail how both the WH and the senate KNEW ABSOLUTELY that this bill would eventually pass as bi partisan legislation because both parties had the same goal, and the bi partisan senators (Dodd and Shelby) were leading the pact with good honorable discussion but the President with Reid had to make it appear that the Republicans were slowing the process giving them something to trump IN TOTAL ERROR to the press !

"For the president, the only middle ground is where he’s standing. Reasonable alternatives to his policies simply do not exist. It is Obama alone who determines which arguments are “legitimate” and which are “misleading.” It’s rhetorical blackmail: Agree with me, the president is saying, or I’ll call you a liar and a hack."


I know that you and the rest who think this man is so above all this and is always trying to compromise will not agree, but this is President Obama...it was him in college, with ACORN, in the Illinois senate...whereever he has been but you folks just think he has changed. Read..he has done this wherever he has been !
