Obama Fighting for his Presidency, Not Reform
Washington Examiner ^ | 08/17/2009 | Chris Stirewalt

Posted on 08/17/2009 1:22:57 PM PDT by fiscon1

The big question for President Barack Obama right now isn't about health care, but his own political survival.

If he fails to deliver health legislation, Obama will prove right those who said he was in over his head. That would make him something of a lame duck after only seven months in office.

A good point made in this piece—should Hussein fail to shove his plan down the throats of voters, he will lose respect, authority and power. If he succeeds, he will have—yep—shoved unwanted government intervention down the throats of voters. Neither is a very good option. But one thing the writer doesn’t take into account—Hussein doesn’t CARE about how voters view ANYTHING. He wants power over the peons and serfs. Everything else, from forcing new laws on the public to getting re-elected, will be handled by his media lackeys and thug supporters. Hussein ain’t interested in being loved—just feared.

He was elected to “fix” the economy.

He was elected to be the first black president. He's black and he's president. Mission accomplished.

Even more appealing would be to see his wife Chewbacca and her mother have to leave out the back door.

"If he fails to deliver health legislation, Obama will prove right those who said he was in over his head. That would make him something of a lame duck after only seven months in office."

That's no longer a hypothetical.
He is in over his head (see Peter Principle).

He's on the run, looking for a distraction now.
He let slip out the loose talk on population control through "end of life" counseling
and people found that very creepy.

It's just basic math now: when a president seems creepy his numbers go down.


Population Control

We’ve got a lot of work to do to keep Americans awake and aware about what is going on in the White House and Congress.

This bill is far from defeated and any version passing will be hailed as a victory by the media and democrats. America must tell them “no” in no uncertain terms and hold them to it.

Getting seniors to cancel their AARP memberships is a good start. Continue spreading the word about all the OTHER things in this bill that are troubling. Pick 5 real facts about this bill to illustrate that point and talk to everyone you know about them. Be prepared to cite page and line. Don’t exaggerate; what’s in there is scary enough! Donate your money only to actual conservative individuals, wherever they are, rather than to parties or organizations.

Keep the heat on, FRiends.

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

(snip)
But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.

(snip)
Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

(Snip)
Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

(Snip)
WHO WILL SAVE FREEDOM?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.

(Snip)
DR. ORLY TAITZ, Phil Berg and Gary Kreep, ALL OF WHOM HAVE MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP.

(Snip)
A PRECIOUS FEW, BUT THEY EXIST… and the walls are indeed closing in on Obama and his evil cabal. IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FAIL TO GET BEHIND THESE BRAVE FEW WHO ARE SEEKING PEACEFUL REDRESS, ALL THE PEACEFUL OPTIONS WILL EVAPORATE AS IF THEY NEVER EXISTED. WE WILL RETURN TO A PRE-1776 AMERICA OVERNIGHT..

Do YOU fear Obama?

A precious few, indeed. Lets get behind those few brave patriots who are out there in the trenches every day working to prove Obama’s inelgibility:

Dr. Orly is the ONLY one out there in the trenches EVERY day hitting Obama on multiple fronts and trying to bring him down. It is reported that she is more than $8,000 in debt from using her own funds for expenses in her flights across the U.S for interviews, speeches, serving papers and meeting with officials!

Today’s radio interview in Israel with Dr. Orly.
Discusses bc, Obama not elgible due to being British citizen, death threats, Obots tampering with her car:

Attention FRiends:

‘The Obama File’ is back!
It is back and archieved here:
http://www.theobamafile.com/
‘The Obama File’ is a treasure trove of Obama history. Every thing you’d want to know about the usuper
from his African ancestry to the present is here for us internet warriors to use for reference.

Even ‘Latest News’ is back up- so apparently Beckwith intends to keep adding to the file. GREAT NEWS!!

FRiends, we have used ‘The Obama File’ and neglected its author, Beckwith.
He is a 70 year old retired gentleman who is living on Social Security. He put up a PayPal which collected under $250.00 in the over 2 1/2 years that he struggled to maintain it. This is disgraceful.
Let’s show our appreciation for this great American patriot by sending a generous donation to his PayPal!

Yet the push is on now more than ever.

At a local town hall event, they found a woman with a severely disabled son to say “The insurance company won't pay for his medicine!” Which is probably true. But neither will the nationalized health care. They would have tried to convince her to kill her son before he was born.

“...this is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.”

It all comes down to whether the opposition can get organized and present good candidates.
