Unleashed from Washington, Obama declares war on House Republicans
The Hill ^ | 16 Aug 2011 | Sam Youngman

Posted on 08/16/2011 7:04:29 AM PDT by Rummyfan

President Obama, on the road and seemingly excited to be there, unleashed an assault on Congress and his Republican rivals, accusing them of making the economy worse and threatening their political futures.

In nakedly political terms, Obama spoke repeatedly about challenging Congress in next year's elections if they refuse to compromise with him on the economy, and he took thinly veiled swipes at his Republican opponents.

As the president embarked on his Midwestern bus tour, stopping in Minnesota and Iowa and small businesses along the way, he fired off his most intense criticism of Congress yet, warning lawmakers they will be defeated if they continue to obstruct his policies.

"If your voices are heard, then sooner or later these guys have to start paying attention," Obama said in Iowa on Monday. "And if they don't start paying attention, then they're not going to be in office and we will have a new Congress in there that will start paying attention to what is going on all across America."

*&&$$##!!!! The problem is that we've been yelling and screaming and these bozos in Washington, led by Obozo, don't pay attention!

BO went to low unemployment areas with Republican office holders and campaigned against Republicans. Why didn’t he go to Detroit and Gary, Indiana and to his old stomping grounds in Chicago to show off Democrat solutions to our horrible economy? And why hasn’t any so-called “journalist” asked him that question?

I’m sure Napolean also lost his temper and made threats on his way to Elba.

Typical Alinsky tactics - make a total hash of things then scream acrimony at those who opposed you.

Re: the Obama bus tour - how do you like being played for an absolute fool by this child, America?

So now we know the 2012 strategy. Everything was getting better until the republicans took back the house, now they are getting worse. Unfortunately, I don’t trust the stupid republicans to be able to counter this nonsense.

This strategy will not work at all. The only thing that can save obama now is to admit he was wrong, renounce leftism, jail bill ayers, repeal obamacare, close the border, and ridicule pelosi and reid in his best alinsky style.

And even that may not be enough.....

“warning lawmakers they will be defeated if they continue to obstruct his policies.”?????? Is he threatening Congress? He must learn that he is not King. These are words of a dictator and don’t belong in American politics.

If this is Obama’s 2012 strategy, it doesn't seem to be a particular good one. Even if he manages to win the war of words against congress, how does that help him if the Republican candidate is someone from outside of Washington? All a candidate such as Perry, for example, would have to say is. “While you were busy waging a war against congress and getting nothing done, I was running an entire state and creating jobs in Texas.”

Obama declares war on House Republicans

If this is as successful as Obama's war in Libya, the house Republicans have nothing to worry about.

Campaigning from a giant mortuary van is a wonderful metaphor for his administration, isn't it?

Seems like this strategy is much longer term.
The dims lost the house last year, but there was no howling by their media and no lawsuits about accused election fraud.
Pelosi, Reid and baraq worked to get enormous bills passes that NO ONE had a chance to read. Who knows what all is in all that garbage. Not a peep from the media. When the effects of these new laws kick in, they will be job and economy killers. This was done on purpose so as to lay the blame at the feet of the repub house just in time for the 2012 campaign. baraq has already started blaming Boehner for the situation we are in. When the campaigns begin in earnest, the dimrats and their media will do the same. This was done purposefully in order for the dims to get the house back by blaming their actions on the repubs in power.
Combine that with their belief in cloward piven, they are working to collapse the system, have a convenient scapegoat, get back in power, then “fix” the problems.

Never forget, the dimrats are loyal to their party first and foremost. They have no loyalty to this countrty or it’s people. Look at their leader. says it all.

And this lying communist rat just might get enough idiots to reelect him. He has a huge army of freeloaders that will never take responsibility for themselves and just vote him in. Shades of London. America is on the verge of going total communists and violent.

“You’ve got to be willing to compromise to move the country forward”

Moving forward does NOT mean a progressive march to Communism.

Photobucket

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.
