The real motivation of the president who threatens governors

We got a lot of attention last week with a piece about Texas Gov. Rick Perry's revelation that, at a recent meeting, President Obama had threatened the nation's governors that "you'll hear from me" if they criticized him about federal spending.

The whole conversation was in the context of National Guard use, but that was sort of beside the point. Obama doesn't like getting called out by anyone for the way he deploys federal resources and power, and he wanted to make it clear to the governors that they had better stay in line and not do anything that would make him look bad. Folks responded to this in a big way because they understand that when Obama starts issuing threats like this, he is acting a lot more like a dictator than like an elected and accountable leader.

But I wonder how strong the reaction would be if the population at large really recognized the Obama/Democrat Party strategy here.

We know that Obama is abusing his authority to govern via executive orders, and we need to understand exactly how he's putting himself in a position to expand the use of this tool. When Obama issues an order mandating an increase in the minimum wage, or banning "discrimination" against LGBT workers, he can't just arbitrarily issue this order for the entire country without the approval of Congress. Even he knows that. But what he can do is issue the order for all federal contractors, because as chief executive, he can set the rules to determine who qualifies as a federal contractor unless there is specific legislation to the contrary (which there won't be as long as he is president because he would veto it).

This is where the explosive growth of the federal government becomes so dangerous. As the federal government spends more and more of the nation's total wealth - and at times during Obama's presidency it has spent as much as 24.8 percent of GDP - it becomes increasingly difficult for the business community to function without touching some aspect of federal government operations. When one institution is gobbling up one-fifth to one-quarter of the nation's capital, an awful lot of companies large and small will have no choice but to seek federal contracts. You have to go where the opportunity is.

And if you want to even try to be a federal contractor, you have to follow the rules set forth by the Obama Administration - in terms of who you can hire, what you can pay and all kinds of other details large and small. So the bigger the federal government gets, the more businesses essentially fall under the rules arbitrarily dictated by Barack Obama. Even a subcontractor to a federal contractor has to follow these rules, so even if you don't seek federal contractor status, you still have to do it Obama's way if one of your customers does.

And Democrats don't care who this puts out of business. Small restaurants on federal land have succumbed to the consequences of Obama's rulemaking. That's not something they see as a problem because the ultimate objective of the Democrats is power for themselves, not the sustainability of private businesses.

So when Obama tells governors to keep their mouths shut and not criticize his spending, he's really telling them that the expansion of the federal government will not be derailed by a bunch of people in state capitals who still think the states have anything to say about how things work around here. In fact, even the states are in a precarious position because they rely heavily on federal funding for things like Medicaid and highway construction. That is one of the reasons you sometimes see Republican governors reluctant to oppose the re-election of long-time Democrat members of Congress. These Democrats have clout in Washington to keep the federal funds flowing back to their states, and the Republican governors don't like it but they know that under the current system they need that money.

This is all about power for Democrats. The more of the nation's capital that flows through Washington, the more you need the favor of those who control it, so you'd best behave yourself. Barack Obama has the money and the federal contracts that you, or someone close to you, needs to survive. Don't upset him. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

I’m still waiting for black conservative Americans to open their mouths up about this;

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.. Taking some poor guy of mixed race including black doing his job and painting a target on his back to fullfill a socialist agenda.

The truth and purpose behind the Zimmerman persecution .. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a “Neighborhood Watch” and the person working security just doing his job. Why was this episode politicized ?...The first was to gin up the base for purposes explained herein ..

If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. The few who are still “milking this” by accepting black callers. While they are commentators and not bonafide “newspersons” nothing was stopping them from offering the facts for discussion.

Allowing callers to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was “stalked” or Martin was “stopped” and “questioned” when there was no legal right to do so.If the aftermath of this insidious revisionist assult were investigated everyone of the perpetrators in this recent rash of racial killings would state they believe this is true. . Instead these hosts fail to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, allow the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged, or cite examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..

Particularly a “gated” neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person they’re observing..That’s the Watch Captain’s who is really a security guard’s job.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3054721/posts

The person of mixed race including black working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so.

Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.

Both were dark skined and could “pass” as cousins.

The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .

While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..

Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is.

Particularly the black media which had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target. What is the result ?

Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims.

In reality these victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,and the political opposition says nothing..

What could the purpose be ?

What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..

But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.

That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 160 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts
