LOL!! So, "we gonna punish our enemies opponents, and reward our friends" makes it all better? It's also the word 'punish' that is out of line. This jerk was President when he said that and now we see his Chicago politics at work via all his agencies.

Obozo... always with an explanation AFTER the fact. Always leading from behind.

The "Kenyan Clown Circus" continues.

If we can't use the power of persuasion, we'll use the persuasion of power.

The whole point, for a leftist, of attaining power, is to punish your “enemies”,

and for a leftist, it is absolutely INTOLERABLE that anyone disagree with you,
so even those who don’t go 100% with your ideology are considered enemies.

The Obama Campaign’s Nixonian “White House Enemies List”

The Obama campaign appears to have taken a page from Nixon’s reelection campaign playbook — and is now mounting attacks on private individuals.

On April 20th KEEPINGGOPHONEST.COM published a post titled “Behind the curtain: A brief history of Romney’s donors.”

KEEPINGGOPHONEST.COM was launched earlier this year as one of the three components of the Obama reelection campaign’s “Truth Team” – a new effort to engage Obama supporters online and in person, encouraging them to communicate with undecided voters.

While the stated goal of this effort was fact checking Republicans’ claims about their own record, the post was used to publicly identify and smear eight private individuals – or in their own words “high-dollar and special-interest donors” that “Mitt Romney is relying on…to fund his campaign.” Four individuals were listed under the heading Donors who benefit from betting against America while four were categorized as special interest donors. After each name, the campaign listed deeds that they find “less-than-reputable” or reflective of being “on the wrong side of the law” or making “profits at the expense of so many Americans.”

Each name was then tweeted out by the @TruthTeam2012 twitter handle with similar charges, and the list was also disseminated by email to a grassroots network of Truth Team volunteers – calling on their vast grassroots network of volunteers to spread the word and vilify the eight individuals.

What would be interesting is to know the list of punishments and to what degree he was going to use punishments on his enemies.

Larry Grathwohl: The instructions I received from Billy Ayers was that the bombs to be used in Detroit must have shrapnel (fence staples, specifically) and fire potential (propane bottles). The intention was to kill police officers....

Sounds a lot like the Boston bombers.

I feel really sorry for Jarrett’s six man 24-7 security detail.
