Early signs are Obama has to guard his left

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Friday, November 14, 2008

(11-13) 17:44 PST --

As he prepares to enter the ring of White House politics, President-elect Barack Obama might need to perfect that left jab just as much as his right hook.

President-elect Barack Obama pauses as he speaks with rep...Medea Benjamin says the anti-war group CodePink gave Obam... View Larger Images

Not only can the Democratic president-to-be expect the predictable shots from the conservative right, but eventually a pounding from the left if he doesn't deliver "change you can believe in" on issues that concern liberal voters - health care reform, an end to the war in Iraq, environmental protections and taking care of the economy and the housing crisis.

"We gave him a 24-hour honeymoon - and that was generous," joked Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group CodePink, Thursday about the chances of Obama's election silencing protests for the foreseeable future. "We believe in celebrating and then moving on."

Her grassroots organization has wasted no time doing just that. On Thursday, CodePink members hit five consulates in San Francisco - those representing Bolivia, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba and Iran - delivering flowers, apple pies and cards with a message as much for the president-elect as for the leaders of those nations: "Yes We Can ... Live in Peace."

Meda Benjamin made it very clear that she sees code pink as working as agents for these communist and/of Islamofaciast dictators that all are supporters of terror.

Agents to bring their demands to Obama.

They also see themselves as agents for Obama to make sure these leaders of Bolivia, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba and Iran see every message that Obama puts out that show favor to them

It's not entirely a bad thing, this will eventually work against not only Obama but code pink also.

The Obamazombies will explode in pent-up rage if their unrealistic expectations of manna from heaven are not met.

The left will overplay their hand, badly. And this is one example. Good information, thanks.

Code Pink and Obama deserve each other. How long before “buyers remorse” sets in when they see he cannot walk on water....??

“This is not the Code Pink that I knew.”

But seriously folks, if Obama turns dictatorial, the Code Pink/Move On/Daily Kos crowd will be the first to go to the wall. The useful idiots, when they become useless, always get purged.

And yet they continue to be useful idiots

Hitler's original SS was made up primarily of homosexuals.

When Hitler started sharing power with the other Nazi leaders, they didn't like that so the homosexuals were all killed

History is about to repeat itself all over these smarmy little traitors and it will come from their Glorious Leader.

The left will always eat their own in the end, because their struggle is for absolute power in the absence of moral law.

This happens with any alliance between tyrannical ideologies.

I can only hope that Code Pink becomes even more strident. If 0bama caves into it, alot of Americans will be turned off. If he turns his back on it, he loses some of his most ardent base.

* Another Code Pink ally is Medea Benjamin’s group Global Exchange, which has strong ties to the communist Workers World Party. Imbued with a deep hatred for the United States and capitalism in general, Benjamin is a pro-Castro activists who lived in Cuba (and was married to a Cuban) was a principal organizer of the 1999 Seattle riots in which some 50,000 protesters wreaked havoc and tried to shut down the World Trade Organization meetings. ——— “Jodie Evans: Activist in Pink,” By John Perazzo, Frontpagemagazine.com, December 8, 2003

Obama has to slow cook us into socialism but these lefties will apply pressure for instant action that may cause problems.

It will be the best thing that could happen to them- particularly the 23% of his voters who were under age 30.

They can face the reality of being disillusioned:

-with broken campaign promises that were insincere to begin with,

-with an empty suit who didnt fulfill the expectations of the personality cult campaign,

-that socialism is a doctrine of failure,

-that higher taxes is a bad thing,

-that their standard of living will be worse when they expect the government to support them.

Wasn’t it the SA brought Hitler to power and then the SS essentially wiped out the SA? These purges are normal with tyrants.

The Hillary voters got the same treatement at the caucuses.

Like flower children's offerings to enemies with guns to their heads. They are not "Code Pink" -- they are White for surrender.
