I listened to the President's speech the other evening and for a moment I found what he was saying to be so "fair" that I almost forgot who this man is. If you truly listened to him you came away hating the evil people who make more than $250 thousand dollars a year and feeling sorry for yourself if you didn't. You came away hating the conservative point of view.He is a mesmerizer. He is a charismatic being. He is a Lawyer.
Things that pundits and politicians have warned us about for years are beginning to come true. Every fear that the evil right wingers have ever had are being realized, little by little, every day in Congress, but not in a straight forward way.
The Obama Way is to let his fellow comrades in the Senate and House suggest the changes that "they" want made in legislation. Never mind his cohorts from the White House are whispering in Harry's and Nancy ear so they can get it right. He writes nothing. He only coordinates. Plausible deniability is key for Obama. It isn't his idea. No one can blame him. If you do blame Obama you are a flaming bigot. The Chicago Way is to hide what you're doing, cloud the issue through subterfuge and if any one threatens to tell the truth, you bury them.
He has shown his propensity throughout his short political career not to compete with his opponents but to eliminate them. Clear the playing field. No opposition to him whatsoever. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/index.html
Jay Stewart of the Chicago's Better Government Association stated in a 2008 CNN political piece:
"He came from Chicago politics," Stewart said. "Politics ain't beanbag, as they say in Chicago. You play with your elbows up, and you're pretty tough and ruthless when you have to be. Sen. Obama felt that's what was necessary at the time, that's what he did."
"Does it fit in with the rhetoric now?"
Stewart answered himself with, "Perhaps not."
But I think Mr. Stewart is wrong. It fits perfectly for his agenda as President. Dissent cannot be allowed. If you oppose him you are called a racist. He uses his blackness as a shield from any assault. You can't say these things, You can't even think these things.
He has lieutenants such as James Carvill and David Axelrod, that go out to every conceivable venue to bash the awful right wing attacks and uphold every golden word the President says. He's too big to fail. Too important. He is after all the the first Afro-American President as well as the smartest President to ever hold the office. He's too historic...
and he is NOT what he seems to be. He and his Administration have a hidden agenda that is being revealed one thin layer at a time and what's is being revealed is a man who wants to get even with those wrongs he perceives having been done to his race and class by the evil Capitalist. He has a fascist bent. He is going to use his high office and political good will to get even. He wants to control every one. He can only do it with the aid of Congress.
His legislative agenda must be hidden because if the American people ever got wind of what was really going on it would cause them to revolt. Congress goes about doing Obama's business of governing with important legislation being proposed everyday, such as these "vital" pieces of legislation proposed yesterday, February 26, 2009 in the house:
2. H.CON.RES.65 : Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that James Brown, also known as the "Godfather of Soul", should be recognized for his contributions to American music as one of the greatest and most influential entertainers of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s as an American cultural icon.

Committees: House Oversight and Government Reform

These kinds of legislation are the rule not the exception but then there's the other extreme...
Doing Obama's dirty work, He is never connected to any legislation. The true meaning of his intent is hidden in otherwise obscure legislation. There is a real agenda. Controversial legislation hidden in more palatable bills. Something Obama can sign with cover because the main legislation is so vital it must be signed immediately.
His very first bill, the Stimulus Bill was passed so fast that there was no time for Congress to read it. There is so much hidden in that bill that it will take years to decipher the bills true scope. Now he is turning to a long Democratic wish list.
The Senate bill, S 160, is legislation dealing with representation for the District of Columbia. It is the loss leader for the Fairness Doctrine, a bill to limit the voices of opposition. Sen. Jim DeMint proposed the cover amendment, insuring that the Fairness Doctrine will not be revisited. The amendment was passed by a vote of 88 to 11. Approved by all Democrats (aren't they fair) Now the pundits such as Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage haven't got anything to complain about.
80. S.AMDT.573 to S.160 To prevent the Federal Communications Commission from repromulgating the fairness doctrine.
Sponsor: Sen DeMint, Jim [SC] (introduced 2/25/2009) Cosponsors (9)
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Senate amendment agreed to. Status: Amendment SA 573 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 87 - 11. Record Vote Number: 71.
But wait...another amendment had to be offered to S 160 and moments later the language was skewed to better suit the Democrats with amendment S AMDT 591.
86. S.AMDT.591 to S.160 To encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership, and to ensure that the public airwaves are used in the public interest.
Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Senate amendment agreed to. Status: Amendment SA 591 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 57 - 41. Record Vote Number: 70.
The same legislation can both end the fairness doctrine and reinstate it in the very same instance, only now it isn't called the Fairness Doctrine. That has been defeated by the first amendment S AMDT 573 and reborn as S AMDT 591 an amendment to the same bill and now referred to as the "diversity in communications media ownership" clause.
The language in most bills is kept purposefully convoluted so the ordinary person, if they ever took the time to read any given legislation, would find it so foreign that they wouldn't understand what they were reading. The minutia being pedaled by the esteemed members of the House and Senate is very hard to follow. The language of any law can be changed at a moments notice. The change of one word in an existing bill can vastly change the meaning of any piece of legislation.
Now the FCC, if the bill is passed, can require that talk radio stations in any given market must have diverse ownership. That means some of those stations will be getting new ownership and I'm sure that ownership won't want to carry conservative talk radio, effectively silencing Mr. Limbaugh and others in the conservative talk genre. So much for First Amendment rights. So much for Free speech. Once again, Obama clears the playing field.
As usual the bureaucrats in Washington are fiddling with "vital" legislation while the Constitution burns! I pray for God to save this Union before it's too late.
