Let's Talk Turkey
American Thinker ^ | December 1, 2013 | Clarice Feldman

Elect a Chicago community organizer (twice) as your president and you should not be surprised to find that all he is capable of is spewing propaganda and dividing us by personalizing attacks on those who oppose his grandiose, wildly impractical efforts at reshaping our lives to suit his sophomoric view of the good life.

As the obvious failure of ObamaCare has become evident to all but his most blinkered cultists, Obama fell back this week on upping the propagandizing and deflecting attention from his failures with even more lies.

His organizing arm OFA (Organizing for America) urged supporters to use this year's Thanksgiving dinner to persuade less-blinkered family members to sign up right away for ObamaCare, extolling its (apparently hidden) virtues. They handed out a tip sheet to help out with this hard sales pitch.

Michele Obama joined in the rallying effort, urging her fans to work with OFA to gather and share their happy ObamaCare experiences.

Word went out to the Obama megaphonic press, some of which went so far as to offer debate tips regarding the increasingly unpopular program.

Anticipating perhaps that this effort might be insufficient to stem the tide, the administration funneled $1.1 million through the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation to the non-profit, "non-partisan" Families USA to pad the propaganda by producing a database of ObamaCare "success stories."

Iowahawk cast his gimlet eye on this effort and tweeted: "Say what you will about Scientologists but they don't show up at your house on Thanksgiving with Xenu talking points."

All this talk about him being a community organizer, as if he was good at that. He is a failed junior community organizer, he was so bad at that, that he jumped to other “jobs”. Like being a senator that could only vote “present” because he was too lazy to do any homework on issues. He’s a failure all around, past and present. He’s only in the White House because behind-the-scenes power brokers needed a black guy to be their puppet on strings. He is no community organizer!

Well stated...As far as I can see he’s not qualified for any job he’s had.

He delegates his job to his subordinates but they’re mostly inept because he doesn’t appoint people qualified for those jobs.

Organizing For America would be more honestly and appropriately named “Organizing AGAINST America”.

I saw that, it’s hilarious. Obama is probably going to give her a job.

Like any devout Marxist, he believes any lie can be sold through intimidation and propaganda.

All of this presidents’ success has been in the injection of propaganda into every issue. This does not take much in the way of talent if the media are actively assisting you. However, as was predicted over 5 years ago, events will spin beyond control of the spinmeisters simply because (beyond blind ideologues) THAT is all they are.
