The Clintons' Covert War on Obama (Panic setting in among the people who ran the Democratic Party)
American Thinker ^ | 06/11/2012 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/11/2012 4:35:55 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Panic is setting in among the people who ran the Democratic Party prior to the miraculous arrival on the scene of Barack Hussein Obama and the perfect storm of events that propelled him into the White House.

These people, starting with Bill Clinton, the master Democratic politician of our era, can read the tea leaves, and the following factors alarm them:

1. Obama has energized his opposition. Despite throwing everything they could into the game, the turnout effort in Wisconsin was handily beaten by those Tea Party nobodies and an RNC head who is actually up to the job.

2. Obama has alienated hugely important constituencies. Labor unions, utterly essentially to the ground game in November, feel betrayed, and are starting to focus more on their own survival than the success of the Obama re-election campaign. The antiwar left feels betrayed over Gitmo, drones, rendition, domestic surveillance, and a host of other issues. They turned out in San Francisco picketing his fundraisers, and spoke of not voting. His Bain Capital attacks are verging into a repudiation of capitalism, so Wall Street and the finance sector are getting alarmed, and the essential flow of political contributions to Democrats from them is drying up.

3. The economy is a disaster, and Obama is doing all the wrong things. The administration is reduced to making implausible claims of spending moderation based on an internet post. The public is fed up with Obama's performance, and his personal popularity is declining and will tank further as he goes increasingly negative on Romney. Swing voters are almost as negative about Obama as are Romney voters.

4. Obama is out for himself, and himself only.

You just know Romney and team are also getting this vibe...and taking precautions accordingly.

As an aside, it is said that the FBI and CIA are packed with Mormons...and I doubt Obama has very many supporters in the intel biz.

Ny thoughts are the only reason why the RATS selected Romney as our candidate was they knew all along that Obamacare would fail and they would use Romneycare as their wedge issue to get rid of the Conservative vote.

All we heard during the campaign was all of our candidates would get mauled by Obama. Then why select the one they most feared? Because he had the two qualities that Obama could zero in on. Romney is a mormon and his policies best resembled Obama’s.

This has been in the works for 4 years. The RATS know exactly what they are doing. They are just hoping they can pull the trigger before Obama totally implodes.

“Perhaps 1980?”

You're drifting into unreality, Mindbender.

Reagan was an eloquent, patriotic, conservative statesman in the same mold as our Founding Fathers. Whereas Romney is a completely uninspiring RINO who may be worse than Hilliary!

This article is so full of wrong assumptions...does anyone think that liberals won’t keep swooning for Obummer??
Gitmo, drones, yadda, yadda...I work with a few liberal dummies and nothing Obummer does bothers them.

ONLY RINO Romney can save Obama. Hence he was CHOSEN. Romney CREATED ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE and has a pathetic record.

Thanks for the news flash.

What BS

Master politician that lost congress for the dems in 94--does nothing but campaign for losing democrat politicians--couldn't prevent the Obamites from STEALING the nomination from Hillary in 2008

If it wasn't for the MSM the Clintons and Gore would be in jail

Amen Brother! That was exactly my thinking. Bill Clinton was a HORRIBLE politician. He was only defaulted the first time because of the interference of Ross Perot, and the down right Nasty connivance of the national media.

In 1994 his name was mud, and the avalanche of Republican Congressmen elected was a direct result of his political stupidity. He was shell shocked and whipped like a little dog, and the *ONLY* reason he was able to rally was because Timothy McVeigh blew up the Federal Building, and the Media leaped into action implying it was the fault of Clinton's opponents. They then hatefully maligned everything the Republican Congress (and especially Newt) Tried to do.

Bill Clinton was not masterful, he was simply on the same side as everyone who broadcasts news and entertainment, and as they controlled access to what the public was allowed to hear, nothing but the best light came through for Clinton, and nothing but hate filled venom came through for his opponents.

The media people are the enemy of this nation. They need to be wiped out financially. They need to be put into a position such that they can no longer tamper with the election process. They are the threat, and they need to be steamrolled. Bill Clinton was just a putz they liked.

“What a choice we have this cycle, don’t we?”

This kind of reminds me of the last days of Rome, when the position of Emperor was literally given to the highest bidder!

“...Do we know for a fact that the unions “feel betrayed”?...”

Don’t know about “betrayed” but after having their butts handed to them in Wisconsin and now other states looking to do the same with public sector unions, I’d say they are crawling back under the rock they crawled out from....call it “survival mode”.

Clintons => Fabian socialists, Marxist by evolution, boiling the frog

0bama/Alinsky/Ayers/Dorhn => “Gueveran” Socialists, Marxism by Revolution.

I agree. Obama was all stealth in order to get elected but then tried to grab everything at once. That was not acceptable to the majority of Americans.

However, he is in trouble with the DNC for not being Marxist enough. After all, he told us all that he was going to do while campaigning but much of it, like transparency, was a lie. The Left is mad that he hasn't done the rest, like a civilian police force as well armed and as large as the military and making coal fired electricity production unaffordable, etc.

The MSM elected Obama by attacking everything Bush did for eight years. Remember the continuous rant about the Republican Culture of Corruption, etc., and then by refusing to reveal the truth about Obama. Any opposition to Obama was called racist. But that is the Allinsky method and it worked.

I agree with you on that one. Anyone who counts obama out does not know the depths that the Democrats will sink to remain in power.It is a long to the first Tuesday in November. Given what they have to work with and who they have working for them,they can cause a lot of things to happen before then. All of them bad. For us.

-—It’s looking more like 2010 than 2008.-——

This could be the beginning of a long conservative wave, like 1980-92, if managed properly. Romney can serve as a non-threatening figurehead, as Paul Ryan and the “Tea Party nobodies” do the heavy lifting.

Election 2010 / Tea Party happened and is still happening (Wisconsin).

He awakened the sleeping giant. The frog realized this wasn’t just a hot tub that was a bit too warm.

I have a libinlaw who adamantly claims that she’s not a socialist and neither are the ‘rats and if they go too far, they’ll just be voted out of office. There are certain “points of no return” though that the left is trying to achieve. She doesn’t think those points exist.

You think that a Republican Senate is going to rein in a liberal Romney?

Have you been drinking grape Kool-Ade?
