This is back-handed complimenting at its finest. The joke quote was how he agreed with Lamar Alexander that this White House shouldn’t have an enemies list like Nixon’s even if theirs only had one name, Fox. Right. Sure. None of these are enemies?

1. Republicans in Congress - left out of all negotiations and not permitted to make sensible amendments to wasteful bills.

2. Doctors- perfoming unnecessary operations only to line their pockets.

3. Energy, oil companies - expelling evil CO2, murdering the Earth!

4. Insurance companies - horrible in every way.

5. America up until 2008 - see number 4.

6. Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, talk radio - ah, see 4.

7. Israel and Britain - who needs them?

You get the idea, really anyone who pays taxes is or will become and enemy.

Good post it puts the lie to one of Clarence Page's two legs of support.

The second leg is that Clarence Page would like us to infer from reading this article that the objection to the formation of an enemies list is that it tends to break down bipartisanship, that it tends to break down comity.

This is absurd and it is a transparent effort (the only transparent thing that I can think of that a Liberal has done in the last 10 months) to shield Obama from an indictment of the truly un-American assault on free speech of which this is but a latest example committed by this administration.

What Obama is doing is not wrong because it threatens a renewal of an era of good feelings which is only possible because of the transcendent genius of Barack Obama, it is wrong because it is brutal, because it is a threat to our constitutional liberties, because it is, in short, un-American.

There I have said it: it is un-American .

This is an affront to civilized government which cannot be swept under the rug and dismissed as something akin to a breach of good etiquette. This is an assault on democracy.

The problem for Clarence Page is that Hannity and Beck and the rest of the have a pesky habit of playing videos which exposes Obama and his henchmen with their own words uttered in front of our eyes. It becomes more and more difficult for the Clarence Pages of the world to dismiss Hannity and Limbaugh as demagogues when the visual evidence demonstrate out of the mouths of Obama and his henchmen that it is they who are demagogues. To avoid acknowledging this truth, Page attempts to redefine this totalitarian power grab as a lapse of etiquette.

In your list, please don’t forget “Townhall protesters” and “Tea Party attendees”. Clarence conveniently forgets all the people our Dear Savior President has been marginalizing.

2. Doctors- perfoming unnecessary operations only to line their pockets.

amputating the feet of diabetics and taking tonsils out just for they paycheck....

Well husband has diabetes and still has both feet
and our son WANTS his tonsils out and we couldn’t find a surgeon who would remove them. You have to have serious tonsilitis several times in six months to qualify that that surgery.

Obama is such a liar
