Community Organizer Runs Amok - The shutdown reveals our president at his most unbalanced
American Spectator ^ | October 9, 2013 | Janice Shaw Crouse

Posted on 10/09/2013 4:22:16 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

From its earliest days, the Obama Administration has operated from a “community organizer” worldview, characterized by an “us” against “them” perspective. The President has repeatedly and in a variety of circumstances said, “Elections have consequences, and I won” as an excuse for yet another executive order, non-Constitutional decision, or “in-your-face” arrogant action. The President goes through the motions of listening to others: he claims to be bipartisan; he hosts White House confabs and talks about the need for compromise, but he always ends up saying, “I won,” and ends any pretense of discussion or negotiation. He explains that, as President, he shouldn’t have to “bring something to the table” and declares that he will not negotiate, as though that his beneath his dignity as President. He goes to play golf and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s snide remarks become the Democrat voice.

He is a Community Agitator, he works for change by whipping up discontent.
It may work for a street rabble-rouser but it's a bad strategy for a president.

In a word...”O” is the most un-American President we have ever had.

He is proud of his ‘un-Americaness’ and so are his supporters.

It doesn’t occur to them that they are only place-holders for the NEXT leader (who hopefully will ACTUALLY comprehend leadership) and who is NOT Un-American!

Nowhere is it written that a President should or MAY maliciously and single handedly turn 200+ years of American autonomy and sovereignty into a dog’s breakfast JUST because they have a PERSONAL ax to grind.

I loathe this SOB. There aren’t enough vulgarities in the English language to express how much.

I think Obastard is mentally and will come unhinged soon. This has the potential to get ugly.

Nobody should be surprised.

Punishing opponents and favoring supporters is a hallmark of socialism.

Once their power is absolute, some of their own supporters will rebel against them, but those are the first to be sent away to the gulags or re-education camps.

Liberals always rule through fear.

In 2008, his resume listed 1 job:

Communist organizer & racist agitator for ACORN, the Alinsky/communist voter fraud group.

That explains every action of this marxist including his ultimate goal to “transform” America into his communist utopia/hellhole.

At the time of the communist coup in Russia against Gorbachev, the question was, who's going to follow their orders. In the end, no one did.

That's the question today, who's going to follow Obama's illegal orders? The House ought to pass a resolution indicating that individuals following illegal orders will be held personally liable.

How about this for an idea. Boehner goes on tv today and declares a unilateral cease fire on the CR in memory of the soldiers killed and denied death benefits and travel expenses for their loved ones. He passes a clean CR for six weeks and immediately starts negotiating with Obama to commemorate the sacrifice those soldiers made for us.

I can’t look at the pictures posted of those wonderful kids. Their loss is in vain today unless something changes.

I never thougt I would be living in a country where the name of the pissadent was OBAMA. When someone is named something to make a statement and that statement is anti american or western or even human, what can we expect of them.

The name itself is interesting given it was supposed to reflect current times in 1961. Maybe I missed something but it seems to me this was before all the islamic hoopla of the later 60’s.

His behavior reminds me of most homosexuals who refuse to respect anybody but their own volition. It’s a mental sickness, which appeals to its sick mentality for direction, becoming more victimized by their arrogant volition. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

I suspect Boehner doesn’t know how to game the situation. It requires knowledge of your adversary’s ambition, habits, and motivators to direct their volition. Instead Boehner is playing this, thinking by increasing pressure on Obama, Obama’s volition will ultimately shift. That isn’t the psychology of an arrogant homosexual. When placed under public pressure, he hardens even more so and has a past history in his recall that victory only comes by resolute, unchangeable behavior. Obama, even if the Republicans cave, is likely to ignore their stance and continue in his thinking that they still oppose him.

Boehner would have a better chance of overcoming Obama by promising the Chinese he would repay all debts in return for giving the Chinese Hawaii and all African Americans as slave labor in trade.

I always say the 60’s destroyed America

Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an American and he never WAS!

Boehner needs to claim a political victory by picking up all the unions who are pissed off at Obama, then signing the budget they want, while indicating to the public that they now might understand the nonnegotiable behavior of this democratic party, which has been and continues to drive the country into ruin, showing the outrageous behavior of the Park Service, which hasn’t rendered any service to the American people.

Unless he has the feckless GOPe as “opposition”.

There shouldn’t be an American in the country at this point who doesn’t know that he’s spending money to deprive us of our ability to enter otherwise untended government parks and monuments. The GOP should be pounding away every day that that shows the bad faith of what community organizers do.

As well, they should be demanding that the Senate vote on the narrow CRs to fund cancer research, military death benefits, etc., etc.. The GOP needs to lead the news cycle even though, yes, the media are biased.

The Speaker opened the meeting by saying “Mr President I am Speaker of the House of Representatives, and I won”

Remember his campaign promise to punish his enemies and get revenge. In that context, his handling of the shutdown makes perfect sense.

I read this headline and had an epiphany.

During WWII, Hitler made some blunders so monumental that some argue they were divinely inspired. Take his actions after the British were demolished at Dunkirk as an example. If he had pressed them he could probably have easily taken England without a battle of brittain. In many cases he proved he was a great public speaker but lousy general. And he and his country suffered for it.

Here we have Obama who, if he acted even remotely reasonably, really should not have been able to lose this battle with the republicans. However, this closing of parks fiasco is looking like it may be a part of his strategy to pull defeat from the jaws of victory. His bungling is monumental. It is as if he forgot that there is more to our media than MSNBC. With every passing day this is clearly turning against him and his minions in the press.

He is handling this with such incredible ineptitude that I’m starting to wonder if the conservatives might actually win. Sure, it’s a longshot. But still...
