Obama Warns Best-Selling Authors: You're Not "Off The Hook"
Real Clear Politics ^
Posted on 07/11/2011 1:00:44 PM PDT by NMEwithin
President Obama wants to let you know that no one is getting off the hook. Be it CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, corporate jet owners, hedge fund managers, or .... best-selling authors? Yes: We weren't balancing the budget off of middle-class families and working-class families. And we weren't letting hedge fund managers or authors of best-selling books off the hook. That is a reasonable proposition. Obama concluded, "we're not looking to raise taxes right now" -- just in 2013 and 2014.

Since Glenn Beck has more bestselling books than anybody, this must be aimed at him.

Stephen King on Obama:
"Obama has the least baggage of the two and is willing to try new things," he said. "It wouldn't be business as usual. Also it would do wonders for us in the world community to have a black man in the White House."
"I’ve got an Obama sticker on my car, and I guess that says what needs saying. Call me a tiresome liberal if you want, but I just think it would be nice to have a smart guy running things for a change. We tried dumb and it hasn’t worked out too well."

Back door censorship...no doubt that all liberal authors will be getting one of the infamous obama "waivers" to this rule.
I've never heard of a President of the United States taking aim at such things as tanning salons, best selling authors and ATM machines. He needs something to take up his time between golf rounds.
I think these actions are the manifestation of long-held hatreds and resentments towards "da man" and anything successful.

"We tried dumb and it hasn’t worked out too well." Now, there is a recyclable sentence in spades.

This country isn’t even creating jobs right now. We actually lost jobs in June if they didn’t fudge the numbers.
Obama is more interested in punishing those who work than getting more people working.
