Obamadrama

Another great article from the American Thinker. Fascinating.

Quote:
The best answer is to use Alinsky against them. We know their rule book, and we can use their rules just as well as they can. The aggressor sets the rules.

Obama constantly uses Alinsky's principle of head-faking: "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have." For Obama, "the enemy" is us, the American people. We have to understand -- that's the way they use the language. Read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals if you don't believe it. We are the enemy.

Obama is head-faking us all the time. He is a big bully. He will use Styrofoam Greek columns, speeches in Berlin, ridiculous Nobel PC Prizes, whatever piece of political opera he thinks he can get away with. You have to remember that Obama always starts out acting a part. Any relationship he has to reality is purely coincidental.

But when he runs into real resistance, as with Putin, Ahmadinejad, or Israel, he backs off. He's running constant bully plays. He's like a third-rate basketball player who is just trying to fake out the other to cover up his lack of athletic talent.
Conservatives are firmly based in reality. Liberals start out from fantasy. This president has learned to play out a bully fantasy to sucker his liberal voters in Chicago -- but then he runs into a brick wall and gets a bloody nose. Like a professional actor he can also drop the act. He'll be very hurt and insulted if we believe him for what he is, but that for the next sucker play.

We have to make him drop all the head fakes. The only way is to do that is to firmly resist his head-fake, and to head-fake him back.

Great article, as it explains Obammy's thought processes.

However, I'll bet you the American Thinker was just placed on the Won's "do not watch/read/listen to list."

Just in case the resident Lib pests won't click on the link....

Quote:
Obama is constantly pretending to have power that he doesn't have.

It's obvious:

Cut salaries 90%.

Does Obama have that power? No. It's a head-fake.

The executives who are getting the supposed 90% salary cut should not resign. That's what Obama wants. So if the threatened executives resign they are just giving in to a head-fake. The Gang from Chicago is like any thugocracy: They do most of their work by fear and intimidation. That way they don't have to take any risks themselves.

So the executives and their firms should just sue the Feds immediately, and appeal any illegal demand they receive, oral or written, to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis. They should run commercials. They should go on the Glenn Beck Show. Conservative radio is there, eager to hear from them. And just go to the highest court in the land that will hear the case, and put all the thug behavior on the public record. If the liberal media don't cover it, the conservative media will. It'll get out there, and Obama will retreat as fast as he can run.

Take another example of the latest outrageous PR bluff. According to several Obama Faces, everybody has to stop watching Fox News and listening to Rush.

Can Obama enforce that
? Not a chance in hell. He isn't even fool enough to think he can. He's just putting the bluff out there to see who is going to get intimidated.

The Soviets did exactly the same thing in the world power game. So does Putin today. So does Ahmadinejad. It's what bullies do. Obama's Alinsky Rules are Bully Rules.
A last example: Obama is pretending he can control all the medical care in this country.

Does he have that power? Not if we resist it. Sixty percent of the voters hate the whole idea of Mob-o-Care.
Eighty or ninety percent of us are happy with our medical care. The whole thing is a fraud, a head-fake, a scam, a bully play.

Every sane person who is expecting to get old someday is going to hate Mob-o-Care. Every sick person will hate it, because they will no longer be able to trust their doctor to take decisions that are in their best medical interest. Death Panels are for real, even if they are called the NICE Committee, as the British National Health Service calls its rationing committee. In typical Orwellian fashion, the NICE committee is the extreme opposite of nice. They tell you how long the State will pay for you to live. Just read the daily horror stories about denial of medical treatment in the British press.

As soon as Obama's taxes start to bite, as soon as the voters get scared and feel ignored by those maniacs in DC, the voters will have their revenge. That's what happened after Jimmy Carter's Leftward Lurch. It happened to Walter Mondale before he even got stated. It happened to Bill Clinton with the Gingrich Congress in 1994.

It will happen to Obama, which is why is in such a big panic right now to drive the scam through now, now, now.

Well, the answer is to call their bluff on it, now, now, now.


The Democrats in Congress are running scared, and we should use Alinsky's head-fake against them. We can legally tell them: They are out of a job. Now. We want them out. We will mobilize the vote against them in 2010, a midterm election when normal people tend to vote a lot more and Leftie victim groups vote a lot less. Let's throw out Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Arlen Spector, and plenty of other Democrats in the House and Senate.

...and just because it's about Sarah & I know it ticks them off...


Quote:
Tell them we are going to elect Sarah Palin President -- because she scares the pants off those people. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's that big moose gun she has. Maybe it's her cheerleader personality. Maybe it's her good looks. Maybe it's her Reaganite sense of moral conviction. She just scares them silly.

So tell them their worst nightmare is going to come true, and then make it so.

From the article:

That is the part I cannot undertand. Certainly Obama has set this thing up so that the bills to pay for this atrocity will only come after he has run for his second term.

But some of these Congressmen and Senators expect to stay there until they outlast senator Byrds record. Why are they committing political suicide with this Health care bill , and with Cap and Trade ?

Pick one:
  1. They are not reading what they are passing so they have no clue about what will actually happen IRL -- only going on what Obama says in the PR spins.
  2. The egos involved will not let them conceive of or believe the possibility that their constituents would actually disagree with them enough to vote them out.
  3. They really believe the propaganda.
  4. Too many "people" owe them "favors", so they believe they are invincible.
  5. They believe everything the PR people tell them.
  6. They are simply stupid.
