I try, and it is hard, to not write about the President every day. For eight years I read the most horrendous things about President Bush. Not all of it was true, but all of it was negative. It was so bad in fact, columnist Charles Krauthammer coined the phrase, “Bush derangement syndrome.” As a licensed psychiatrist, he created the medical diagnosis of people suffering from an affliction which made them blame every aspect of what ever their woes in life were on George W. Bush. The disease also forced people to rewrite facts to fit George Bush as deserving blame for things which may, or may not have gone wrong. I do not believe that anyone reading my posts would be shocked to learn that I did not vote for Barak Obama. I did however promise myself that I would not suffer from an Obama Derangement Syndrome. He is still President, and we do in fact need a President to actually do his job and lead. World events and domestic events have told me that he has failed miserably at this so far. That being said, I still hold out hope. By my count, in his two years and three months in office so far, Barak Obama has gotten three things right. Then he dropped this little gem on us this past week.
“There’s many people that are beginning to believe this is a delay tactic by the Democrats in the Senate so that these recall elections can be organized by the Obama team out of Chicago, which they are, as we start to do the research on the people that have filed the petition,” Fitzgerald told Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s “Wisconsin’s Morning News.”
When asked whether Fitzgerald knew that for a fact, he responded, “The organizer against (River Hills Republican Senator) Alberta Darling definitely has direct links to the Obama camp. There’s no doubt about it. These guys might be out until June. Unfortunately, what they’re trying to do is flip the majority, and I think that’s becoming very evident.”
Just to be clear, Using the power of the Presidency to rig an election was the crime for which Richard Nixon was forced into resigning the office of President of The United States. It was wrong when Richard Nixon did it, and it is wrong now that Barak Obama is doing it. The people of Wisconsin voted for a clear mandate to reign in spending. The losers in that election attempted to circumvent democracy by fleeing the state. They substituted a procedural maneuver for the expressed will of the voters. They forced the GOP to play procedural politics as well, and then cried like babies when they ended up losing to the people of that state. Don’t get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed the political left in full out unhinged mode over the last couple of days. The spectacle has been nothing short of comedy gold, complete with Michael Moore proclaiming that all money except for his belongs actually to the public, and that all business owners hold magical jobs which also belong to the people and are being hoarded for some nefarious greedy plot. through all of this, the above story could easily be missed. Make no mistake though, it is huge.
At least Nixon broke election laws so that he could rig a national election. He had a personal stake in the race. Barak Obama is trying to rig local politics, in Wisconsin, Chicago Style. Personally, I feel that the President has enough on his own plate, which is being neglected, that he should not be involving his resources in Wisconsin Politics. Organizing for America is nothing more than bus loads of thugs traversing the country attempting to shake down conservative communities. It is the very embodiment of, “astro turfing, ” a Democrat invented strategy of creating the illusion of grass roots support for an unpopular liberal agenda. The riots occurring in the State Capitols of Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana have been peopled largely by folks not from those states. If the First Amendment and Wisconsin’s state laws allow for recall elections, fine, so be it. That initiative should be determined by Wisconsin’s electorate, and not the President of the United States. The financing of those campaigns should come from the private sector, and not the tax payers of our Federal Government. Since Organizing for America is the Administration’s official website, this organization is part of the Federal Government and is prohibited from attempting a coup of Wisconsin’s elected officials.
Every President goes politicking during campaign season. They give speeches to help those on their side win elections, but this is a far cry from that. This is organizing a recall election designed to remove those who disagree with Obama from office. Further more, you and I are paying for it, and I for one do not agree. With record deficits looming, and a real set of Obama created crises looming, Obama should try doing his job of being President of the United States, rather than chief Chicago Boss and Wisconsin political king maker. For anybody who was around in 72 – 74 calling for Nixon’s head, if you aren’t calling for Obama’s right now, that makes you a hypocrite.
