Obama White House: Extravagance, Secrecy and Enemies Lists
Canada Free Press ^ | Saturday, March 7, 2009 | Sher Zieve

Posted on 03/07/2009 9:39:46 AM PST by BenLurkin

While Obama does nothing practical to stop the economic bleeding of the American system and its people, he has now established Wednesdays as his weekly revelry day—replete with cocktail parties, well known entertainers to amuse both Mr. and Mrs. Obama and their guests and dinners consisting of the best in imported fare—including multi-course dinners and $100/lb steaks. These are what are left of our tax dollars at work.

With their actions, the Obamas seems to be parroting the words of the oft—if questionably—quoted Marie Antoinette who purportedly said satirically of the French starving masses: “If they have no bread to eat, let them eat cake!” Evidence that Obama and his comrades created the current financial crisis—which quickly expanded to include the world—in order to grab almost unlimited and absolute power to force tyranny onto US citizens seems to now be a fait accompli.

The people in the United States of America have been and are continuing to be summarily and purposefully ruined by a group of elected officials who report to Fearless Leader Barack Hussein Obama. In the meantime, this same Obama is lavishly wining and dining himself, his family and friends at least once a week. Obama drags CEOs of failing companies over hot coals in front of endless investigating committees (committees comprised of those who actually created the economic disaster) while Joe Biden and his union boss cronies enjoy $400+/night hotel rooms, sumptuous meals and other accouterments at Florida’s Fountainbleau Hotel and Resort.

With regards to the almost instantaneous robbery of the US’ wealth under the ongoing guise of “stimulus packages,” Obama under cover of darkness hastily pushed them through—with no time for most legislators to even read them—and the new administration was able to quickly place the USA into an increasingly impoverished condition.

These people are ALL about politics, not leadership and integrity. That’s what the Democratic Party has become. Career politicians bent on their lust for power.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Didn’t realize the implications of O’s “Blackberry” until I listened to Mike Savage’s show yesterday—anyone else hear it? Chris somebody sat in for Michael during his absence.

This will all slowly seep out. Termites eating into the foundation of Obama's sycophantism. There's nothing he can do to stop it. Except stop it, which, of course, he really cannot do.

But its the Obama Plan when Gordon Brown gave him rare gifts to return the favor by stopping at the White House Gift shop for DVD's and Toy Heleicopters.

I guess when you are always taking you don't know how to give.

I understand that the $100 per pound beef was from Japan. Certainly there are some US cattle producers than make high quality beef and who could have provided the steaks and kept that money in the US doing some good for the economy. It is a slap in the face for US cattle producers...no different than US autoworkers would feel if Lord Obama had Mercedes make his new limo.

For those of us who missed the Savage show, could you expound on the implications a bit?

The radicals return to their Nixonian glory days. Quite predictable, in retrospect.

As soom as Obama has transformed the American economy into the Zimbabwe model, he will be free to proceed to next part of the model, the genocide of the Conservatives.
This will be accomplished with Crisis, Secrecy and Enemies Lists while extravagant balls, parties and entertainment are going on in the background.

Normally I wouldn’t have an issue with presidential partying. Lots of past presidents did much the same.

However, these are dire economic times and the emperor should lead by example instead of telling the rest of us to do one thing while he does the opposite.

Yes, I meant to ask my husband, those emails on Blackberry wouldn’t they still be stored somewhere?
It would seem to me there would have to be record of them somewhere?

And why did 0bama insist on keeping his Blackberry. Who might he be secretly talking to? Maybe his old buddy Bill Ayers? Who else? Don't we have the right to know? If Bush had insisted on having some sort of private communication like this, he would have been vilified. (Actually, I remember that Bush did give up his Blackberry.) What if Richard Nixon had something like this when he was president?

I would like to know where one of the liberals' favorite "groups" were - PETA - while all of this expensive meat was being devoured?

Is there such a thing as a "national election recall" that can be instituted from the grass roots?

Additionally, ABCnews.com has about 80% negative about Ears compared to about 20% positive. I can’t post there anymore because I have been banned twice.
