Barack Obama must think American voters are a fickle bunch. After sweeping him into office on a wave of hope and goodwill, many Americans are now rejecting much of what he is proposing. But voters have not changed their minds about what they want.
Rather, many voters, against all the evidence, believed Obamas promises of post partisanship, moderation and transparency. Now they know better.
As the reality of Obamas policy proposals has become more graphic, so has the publics opposition to them. All over the country citizens are exercising their God-given rights of assembly and free speech. And that has put ordinary citizens in the cross-hairs of Obama White House officials and allies who are dishing out politics Chicago style.
Still, the Democrats have been blindsided by the publics stern resistance to Obamacare. By attacking the opposition instead of its message, the Left shows that it recognizes how unpopular its reforms are, while revealing how desperate it is to see them enacted.
Consider the rhetoric being tossed about by Democratic congressmen and party leaders.
One Texas congressman referred to constituents who voiced opposition to Obamacare at a town hall meeting as a mob. The Democratic National Committee alleged that Republicans were inciting angry mobs of a small number of rabid right wing extremists funded by K Street Lobbyists to disrupt thoughtful discussions about the future of health care in America taking place in Congressional Districts across the country.
A Virginia congressman blamed the right-wing talking heads on Fox, for public anger that White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs dismissed as manufactured.
If you want manufactured, check out Obamas media events.

Mr. Bauer is being hopelessly naïve. Their goal is to incite violence, which will help them usher in the police state part of their program and remove the possibility of revolt in the future.
“If you want manufactured, check out Obamas media events.”
We’re being played here in Bam’s USSA.
VOTE AGAINST ALL INCUMBENTS
Obama and the people behind him have moved with incredible speed to transform all of our industries and institutions into their long-awaited Marxist paradise. I think people were at first a little stunned and couldn't believe what was happening, and now they're waking up, perhaps a little late but maybe not too late.
The "health care" phase of the program is particularly important to Obama and his cadre, because it gives the government incredibly intrusive powers at an individual level that earlier, less technological dictators could only dream of. Many Americans are beginning to realize this and it is crucial for Obama to get this done before there are enough of us to prevent it.
I think the question of what he might do next is very real and very disturbing. I don't think he has his brownshirts (the various ACORN-based civilian and youth corps he proposed) quite enough organized or funded yet to be a serious threat, so I'm not quite sure where he's going to get the enforcers from. But I suspect he's working that out even as we speak.
Obama Supporters.
Good point; we have to keep in mind that because this is comprehensive it will of course include mental health “care.” This is a classic way that modern socialist societies have dealt with dissidents: put them away as nuts.
The “moderates” and “independents” who voted for Obama and gave him his margin of victory deserve everything Obama has in store for them.
The rest of us do NOT.
Make no mistake - Obama is weakened and he knows it.
Keep up the good fight!
After sweeping him into office
It was less sweeping than that.... you would be there all day sweeping 2% at a time...
Please come intimidate me. I am begging you to do so. I am not going to worry about it. I want you to do it. Please. Show everyone what you really are like. Zero is already telling his people to “hit back twice as hard”. DO IT!
You want radicals? You just made one.
A$$holes. I got your “change” right heah.....
All over the country citizens are exercising their God-given rights of assembly and free speech. And that has put ordinary citizens in the cross-hairs of Obama White House officials and allies who are dishing out politics Chicago style.
To Obama you have no rights accept what are issued you by the Government.
Obamanation is supposedly so poll driven. Yet when it comes to a matter like this, it goes into denial about what Americans really want and insists on beating into their heads what is “best” for them.
translation.......they've figured out Barry is a lying POS.
