George Soros Throws President Obama Under the Bus to Progressive Donors
Mediaite ^ | November 17, 2010

Posted on 11/17/2010 5:15:34 PM PST by La Lydia

Kajillionaire activist, Media Matters funder, and to hear Glenn Beck tell it, Puppetmaster of the coming One World Government George Soros is reportedly pulling on some strings. According to reporting by HuffPo’s Sam Stein, Soros told a private gathering of progressive donors that “Democratic donors (should) direct their support somewhere other than the President.”

An adviser for Soros later told Stein that Soros was not suggesting a primary challenge to President Obama...From The Huffington Post:

According to multiple sources with knowledge of his remarks, Soros told those in attendance that he is “used to fighting losing battles but doesn’t like to lose without fighting.”

“We have just lost this election, we need to draw a line,” he said, according to several Democratic sources. “And if this president can’t do what we need, it is time to start looking somewhere else.”

…”Mr. Soros fully supports the president as the leader of the Democratic Party,” said (Soros adviser Michael) Vachon. “He was not suggesting that we seek another candidate for 2012. His comments were made in a private, informal conversation that was about the need for progressives to be more forceful...

The frustration liberals and progressives are feeling toward the Obama administration has mainly to do with the weak signals the White House has been sending about standing up to the post-midterm Congressional Republicans. Vachon’s denial aside, perhaps administration fear of a primary challenge isn’t the worst thing in the world for progressives. As a practical matter, though, it is extremely unlikely that the Democrats would challenge their own incumbent, and certainly not two years out from the Presidemtial election.

Still, the fact that such a move would be political suicide for progressives probably suits Glenn Beck just fine...

I'm happy that Soros is already 80 years old and that means that most of the sand has run out of his hourglass. Although he is still capable of causing much trouble, his days are numbered.

Trying to create conflict between top and bottom. Violence from the bottom gives the top reason to crack down.

If this is true I hope every Tea Party marcher and supporter is taking heart. Things are bad and we always have reason to get discouraged but to me this is hopeful

You're right. Soros has two sons, Alexander and Gregory. I think their real names are Uday and Qusay.

If soros loserman is throwing obama under the bus, obama may not like it. After all, obama has the thinnest skin out of all our recent presidents.

It’d be great if obama used the full force of his administration to retaliate against soros loserman.

Something big as got to be hitting the fan soon for Soros to bail on his pet Kenyan.

Maybe someone tried to blackAfricanAmericanmail somebody with the real birth certificates and Soros wouldn't pony up the cash?

“Nothing’s “done” until ObamieCommieCare gets whacked.”

Strange choice of words unless the Arkancides start up again.

The GOP has a 62+ seat advantage in the House. If they all stand together as a united Conservative front, there’s not a damn thing the libs can do about it. They must be held in check until the new Pubbies are sworn in.

Yes, imho, that was a very strange reaction on Obama’s part. “Doubling down” in this current environment is absolutely ludicrous. Here’s hoping that the One’s comments were not nefarious, but just plain vanilla stupid.

Is that an actual quote? Did she really say that?

The fact I’ve got to ask says a lot about her!

Not to worry - Soros is shifting his attention to Hillary. Just following or leading the democRAT plan.

I think you are right. The other day Glen Beck said some bigwig from Soros was sent to Fox to get them to rein in Beck, as he was hurting their businesses. Something on that order

In the rules of negeotations: SOROS BLINKED, he's done, he's exposed.

I hope Beck bears down harder, he is doing super job of exposing the EVIL of SOROS.

In Soros own words, he believes he is a god, and enjoys the power to destroy the systems of the world and the people, it's all a game to him. Because he can.

Well now, when he has declared himself a god, I think he might have just ticked off the SUPREME DEVINE GOD that we all know,shouldn't have done that SOROS. Your pride and arrogance is going to finish you off.
