Was Democrats’ Health Care Strategy Written In Federal Prison?--
Big government breitbart ^ | Dec 7th 2009 | Joel B. Pollak

....The plot thickens.

Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms. Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest.

While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007).

The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome “provides a blueprint for future victories.”

In the book, Creamer draws lessons from decades of experience on the radical left, including the teachings of arch-radical Saul Alinsky, and several episodes from Rep. Schakowsky’s political career. He also lays out a “Progressive Agenda for Structural Change,” which includes a ten-point plan for foisting universal health care on the American people in 2009:

I still agree with your original post about bringing attention to origins of the health-care bill. Thanks.

Beck did a wonderful job of covering this today.

In a sane world, this alone would kill Obamacare, his political life and the future of every democrat.

Very crazy and sad,

I have read "Cap and Trade" was the idea of Ken Lay from Enron - as a way to make money.

Now the Health care Bill - originated in prison?

Obama's two major bills.

More than 200 people wrote letters of support on Creamer's behalf, including U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Cook County Clerk David Orr, state Sen. Carol Ronen (D-Chicago), Chicago Ald. Joe Moore (49th), former State Sen. Dawn Clark Netsch and former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Carol Browner.

Political consultant David Axelrod and Rev. Jesse Jackson also wrote letters on his behalf.

2005?

Bob Creamer, husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Michelle Obama

WASHINGTON---First Lady Michelle Obama is catching some flak for sporting pricey sneakers while volunteering at a food bank here with congressional spouses. The footwear has been identified by sharp eyed fashion mavens as made by the French design house Lanvin and costing more than $500. The congressional spouse bagging groceries with the First Lady is a fellow Illinoisan---Bob Creamer, the husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).

Yep. Another Breitbart exclusive. It was on Beck earlier today. But why should it surprise anyone. A criminal is president and almost everyone in his administration is a criminal. What’s one more?

Creamer is a pal of Podesta’s Axelrod’s, Andy Stern’s of SEIU, and he’s written the HEALTH CARE BILL from prison no less, that the democrats are going to pass in the US Senate.

BEAM ME UP!

Yes, David Axelrod is a follower and this book is his template for radical change.

“BEAM ME UP!”

Can’t. The EPA has said it is much too dangerous for you to breathe down here, let alone ^^^ up there. And seeing as how you are a Conservative, they might just let your molecules float around in oblivion. Much too dangerous. You are MUCH better off down here where FR can protect you.
