Did the President of the United States Describe Some Americans as Enemies?
National Review ^

Posted on 10/25/2010 12:36:27 PM PDT by roses of sharon

Via The Hill:

Latino voters, the president said, would have an opportunity to send a message to Republicans, who Obama accused of “politicizing” immigration reform and the border security debate. Obama said “pressure has to be put on the Republican Party” if immigration reform is to become a reality.

“And if Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us, if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder — and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2,” he said.

Since when are opposing political parties in the US considered enemies in the sense you are discussing? He’s so brainwashed with Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals that he can’t do the job he was elected to do. The President of the United States is supposed to be above this petty partisanship.

As far as real enemies go, that is why there is the Secret Service.

Of course there’s a big difference, just not a big deal.

What a complete turd. Him or his advisers probably told him talking like that makes him sound tough. Pray for America to wake up and see him for what he is! A pathetic left-wing lunatic!

Yes, he’ supposed to be above this, but he’s in the white house and we have to live with it for a couple more years. Hopefully after next week, he won’t be saying these things anymore.

Race and culture baiting is all this little man has left.

He’s about to see his whole agenda come apart at the seams, and it’s driving him insane.

Yep, exactly, you totally get it.

But the problem is much more deeper and wider than Barack Obama.

For every Barack Obama, there are millions of American liberals who goose step behind the same evil philosophy.

This is the philosophy that has destroyed California, where every White liberal thinks Americans should be punished for the Mexican-American War 160 years ago and believes wholeheartedly that the territorial, legal and political integrity of the United States is illegitimate.

This is not an exaggeration. Liberals really believe this. They don’t hide their true feelings. Free Republic has been documenting it for a long time.

They are a bigger existential threat the the United States than what was international communism during the Cold War and Al Qaeda.

So if imam obamadinejad makes a speech tomorrow calling on latinos (or blacks, or any other ethnic group) to punish their enemies, whom he identifies as members of the NRA living in Virginia (peeked at your homepage)...it’s no big deal. Alrighty then.

“...we’re gonna punish our enemies...”

Obama is starting to get scary.

Starting to?? He's been scaring the crap out of me since before he was inaugurated. Who wouldn't have expected this reaction to those who oppose him?

He is attempting to tell the latinos that we are HIS ENEMIES and that we are THEIR ENEMIES, too.

Uhbama is a very weak leader-and getting weaker by the day.

Now that I know I am suddenly an enemy of the Latinos (in his sick mind) and now that I know he views me as an enemy and not as a citizen whose views differ from his, I will work harder than I EVER have in my lift in 2012 to get him out of our most important gift-the right to sit in the Oval Office of the United States of America.

We are not united anymore-we are enemies. Our president has said so.

This is what they’ve been doing from the begining.Companies who do not want to play, states who did not vote democrate, Americans who are aganist his agenda and speak out. Thug tactics which will bite him in the a## come 2012 and at that time we MUST pressure our representatives unrelentingly to follow up on bringing charges and prosecute ALL involved

YEP. And according to 1 Tim. Ch. 2 we have to pray for obama, but it is reprehensible (but par) that the President would call some Americans “enemies”!~

Every American who believes in freedom is an enemy of Obama.

Airline bombers and dictators not so much.

Keeping track of 150,000,000 enemies must be daunting. This calls for a new czar.

Freepers call Americans the enemy every day...if they’re democrats or liberals or someone they don’t like. What’s the big deal?

Because freepers aren't sitting in the Oval Office with all the power of the U.S. Military at our command.
