Longtime conservative leader Morton Blackwell, a Reagan administration alumni and once the youngest Goldwater delegate at the GOP convention, is perhaps best know as the originator of the phrase “Personnel is policy.”
Blackwell’s observation speaks a great truth about American government. Since no one man or woman can do it all, alone, we have followed the French in the development of bureaucratic systems that allow for power and authority to be delegated to subordinates who are responsible, on a daily basis, for the administration of public policy. It is these people, even more than the president, who directly impact the way policies are developed and carried out.
"Almost everywhere you look in the Obama administration you can find appointees whose beliefs are clearly outside the mainstream."
The people chosen to fill positions within an administration, no matter how minor those positions might be, matter; they matter because they are being handed the tools with which to make real decisions that have an effect on the American people, the American economy, our legal system, our national defense and just about any other issue you can name on a day-to-day basis.
Throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama presented himself to the American people as a change-oriented centrist, slightly to the left of the middle of the road. The way he has governed over his first 100 days, however, shows him to be anything but the image he projected, particularly where many of his appointments are concerned. And it is these appointments that will determine the direction of policy in his administration over the next four years.

But we are told by the MSM and the WH propaganda machine that Obama is a moderate who is being pressured by the Left to take these radical actions. The truth is that Obama is the biggest radical of them all.
The truth is that Obama is the biggest radical of them all.

Yes he is, and they are all liars. He is surrounding himself with as many RADICALS as he can enlist covering everything he basically wants to control and destroy in America. He will try to be Mr. Smiley, the innocent one, while all his radical leftist goons are out turning America into something that makes socialist Euro-dumps look conservative.
The first 100 days of fail and hell.
You are the company you keep. Obama is either very diabolical or does not have a clue. Either one is bad for the USA.
Well Duh!
It amazes me that anyone is surprised!
His father was a communist, his mother was a "communist fellow traveller", His step father was a communist, his teen mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a card carrying Communist, His close friend of TWENTY SEVEN years, Bill Ayers, is a communist terrorist, by his own admission he "sought out Marxist professors" in college. His Pastor of 20 years is a Marxist, His friends (such as Klonsky, Said, Khalidi) are all Marxists or communists, he had the most left wing voting record in the Senate...
What else would you expect?

I would have expected even low-IQ liberals to not even vote for this travesty. But my hopes were shattered. Then I hoped that the SCOTUS would do its job, uphold the law of the Constitution, and take him out of office. And that probably won’t happen either.
Yes, we knew what he was, and who he was WAY before the campaign even started. Those of us that cared, at least.
The biggest radical (except for Hilary) and the scariest thing that has ever happened. Doesn’t everyone realize that his mission is to decimate America?
What I find so odd is how truly ignorant and stupid liberals are (I live in NYC). Everyone I know is a liberal, and not one person I know has ever heard of Saul Alinksy.
Obama is more of a radical than Hillary. No comparison.
...and not one person I know has ever heard of Saul Alinksy.

And therein lies a core element of our problem and one of the primary enablers of Obama — as Rush always says, “IGNORANCE IS OUR MOST EXPENSIVE COMMODITY!”
But if we don't do it, root and branch, our children and grandchildren will pay the price.
