The man who wasn't raised in the "Land of Lincoln" but who nonetheless has had the audacity to compare himself to Abe before he'd spent one day in office, who spoke ad nauseum about bringing us all together as another great man who rises above the fray is instead showing himself to be a good disciple of his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel.

Oh, no, this is not the nasty Al Capone gangster style politics nor even the Richard Daly machine of days gone by. No, this is something sugar-coated, as is appropriate of federal largess. Uncle Sam is becoming a sugar daddy, even doling out taxpayer funds to illegal immigrants, most of whom don't pay income taxes and never will.

Nary a word of dissuasion from the President to the DNC about their latest ad blitz. Aside from being in perpetual campaign mode. the DNC has now seen fit to essentialize opposition to Hussein Obama's health care shove--er--push. It's all orchestrated by the right-wing, insurance company backed, machine, don't you know? Those wannabe fascists as some posters to this forum fear they are using the very same tactics--no, correction--a modified (re: more civil) form of the tactics developed by the Far Left during the Vietnam War. They can dish it out but they sure as hell can't take it.

Hussein appears to be condoning if not embracing the good ol' double standard of the Democratic Party. They can do it but no one else can. Well, they can stick that where the sun don't shine, as the saying goes.

And yesterday, Hussein gets in front of the mic and yet again (the third time in a week--the first being at a rally in Elkhart, Indiana) paints the opposition to his health care plans with a very broad brush. This lack of discernment one might expect of a less well educated leader or a partisan but not a leader who purports to be part of a transparent movement to open debate on his legislative agenda.

Surely some of you leftwingers out there, and independents like me, can see the hypocrisy in the recent backlash to the town hall meetings? Yes, some of those who attend were undoubtedly sent there, but what's so surprising about that? And, yes, SOME were just interested in shouting down the speakers, and that serves no one's best interests, as many liberal AND conservative commentators have pointed out.

But now we've got the Dem Party's fascist faithful in the form of union thugs descending on these meetings (hospitalizing a Black conservative at a town hall in St. Louis and injuring an old lady in Tampa). And the deputy WH Chief of Staff inviting citizens to snitch on those who they feel are misrepresenting (re: criticizing) Hussein Obama's health care efforts.

Had George W. Bush done the same thing, including setting up a website for reporting this supposed campaign of disinformation, he would have been thoroughly smacked down by the mass media and accused of resorting to Nixonian tactics. Again, enter the double standard.

There is real concern, justifiable anxiety, and even fear out there about the health care reform bill which has only been exacerbated by the relentless push to get it passed before anyone has bothered to read all of it. There are also a lot of Americans who are just plain confused to the point of bewilderment over all the crosstalk emanating from inside the Beltway in DC, and it is leading to growing frustration.

Frustrated and concerned citizens do not a mob make.

It is one thing to downplay your political opponents' arguments and quite another to demean or belittle them. How can Hussein Obama claim to be taking the high road when he keeps using his Chicago playbook?

I'm waiting (but not with bated breath) for his staunch defenders to justify this latest knee-jerk reaction....

[mises]

Yes.

[RufusW]

C'mon boys, you think Bush wasn't a Repub hack? What's your point?

[RufusW]

Oh gawd, the article you ripped this from keeps mentioning Hussein or Hussein Obama - how discredited do you want to be? Ever have your own thoughts MitM?

[bacasper]

[RufusW]

I'm guessing, just on the off chance MitM is so stupid to undermine his own agrument by referring to Obama as Hussein thinking that's a bad thing.

[On the other hand]

[RufusW]

MitM thinks it's a bad thing if a president isn't called Chuck or Ted.

[dmbfan]

I think MITM is waiting for you guys to actually debate his original post, rather then use distraction points.

Rufus rote:

[RufusW]

MitM, I was giving you credit, I thought you wouldn't be silly enough to write that. Why do you refer to him as "Hussein Obama"? It makes you sound so stupid.

Anyway, why should we respond to basically a comment piece by a Dave's poster. At least put a couple of links in there.

[bacasper]

[RufusW]

Fully it's Barack Hussein Obama II; Barack Obama, or Obama would traditionally be used. So why highlight unnaturally his middle name, because people called Hussein just aren't good guys?

[bacasper]

Unnaturally? Some of us go by our middle names.

And besides, King Hussein of Jordan was pretty cool (for a king, anyway).
