Nothing like a nasty, internecine battle in the Democrat party to warm a GOP heart:
“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.
A few weeks ago, Mr. DeFazio voted against the administration’s stimulus bill. The comment from Mr. Obama was a presidential rebuke and part of a new, hard-nosed push by the White House to pressure Congress to adopt the president’s budget. He has mobilized outside groups and enlisted forces still in place from the Obama campaign.
Senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and her chief of staff, Michael Strautmanis, are in regular contact with MoveOn.Org, Americans United for Change and other liberal interest groups. Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina has collaborated with Americans United for Change on strategy and even ad copy. Ms. Jarrett invited leaders of the liberal interest groups to a White House social event with the president and first lady to kick off the lobbying campaign.
Its targets were initially Republicans, as team Obama ran ads depicting the GOP as the “party of no.” But now the fire is being trained on Democrats worried about runaway spending.
Americans United is going after Democrats who are skeptical of Mr. Obama’s plans to double the national debt in five years and nearly triple it in 10. The White House is taking aim at lawmakers in 12 states, including Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor. MoveOn.Org is running ads aimed at 10 moderate Senate and House Democrats. And robocalls are urging voters in key districts to pressure their congressman to get in line.
Obama is not just President of the United States, but Il Duce of the Party-State, and just as with certain other such leaders of the past, he’s determined that the Führerprinzip be obligatory on all party underlings. As Obamunism is now to be the bearer of the American National Ideal, to be opposed to Obama is to be, in a large sense, opposed to America.
At least, that is what Obama appears to believe, even if he doesn’t articulate it like that. He’s a bloody, little fascist and a growing megalomaniac. His wife’s no better – if I hear one more story about Mrs. Obama’s arms and how beautiful and sexual she is, I’ll puke. She’s not that good looking, guys and gals, but it does seem to be a requirement upon the MSM to laud her to the skies as the price for continued White House access. I never thought I’d live to see the day when so many of my fellow Americans would abase themselves before a mere man – and a not too clever man, at that.
Will the Democrats stand up to him? Time will tell – I hope that some of them do show some guts here and tell the President to go jump in lake. He needs to be brought down a peg or two and it needs to be rammed home to him that he’s just a man – no better than anyone else out there.

Boy.. someone has their panties in a bunch today.
The fact that Mark is so angry makes me feel good about Obama.
One thing I’ve learned over the past several years. If Mark is happy, freedom is in danger.
(Don’t mean to anger you, Mark. But if I do, I know you’ll forgive me since you’re an observant Catholic)
not Führerprinzip

there is no such thing as black power…its only a cover for racist biggotry…
js02: there is no such thing as black power…its only a cover for racist biggotry…
It pains me a little to say so, but in this case I’d say that js02 is right.
Have at me libbies!
fmr, I watched the video. Very telling, indeed…
guy,
Its easy to forgive fools, so no problem at all.
“I never thought I’d live to see the day when so many of my fellow Americans would abase themselves before a mere man – and a not too clever man, at that”…Mark

Well, Mark, he seems to be quite clever and doing more than a little alright on the international scene.

So much for your contention that he is a featherweight on foreign affairs, eh?
Way to go, President Obama. Keep up the good work!
Wow, an unverified story from “ABC” of Obama calming down the rhetoric of France & China, and CO is ready to drop to his knees and swallow the messiahs love juice.
I guess CO is quite easily pleased.
CO,
This is known as bullsh**. Or, “spin”, if you wish to be polite…
Mark
Don’t you think the participants and the others who were present at the time would have called them out if, in fact it was as you say, BS?
It doesn’t make any sense at all for them to fabricate the incident when it can be so easily disproved.
I wonder why the “senior Obama admin official” wasn’t identified.
It doesn’t make any sense not to identify the offical. Wouldn’t they want to really promote this magnificent stroke mediation genius?
Is it just me or does Michelle Obama look like a prize fighter? She stands 6′1″, weighs in at 190 lbs and has the jaw line of George Foreman.
“It pains me a little to say so, but in this case I’d say that js02 is right.

Sorry Rico but you are off the teams (marxist, lib, socialist, etc.). Turn in your cards.
The shame. The shame.
I hope kmg1 notices my previous two posts.
Yesterday, he was unable to discern the difference between my factual observations vs my insults.
The two above comments are insults. Just FYI
After rereading js02s comment I guess I have to admit I agree with with him too. Now I have to turn in my cards.
I wonder if they will still let me keep my Obama shrine?
I agree with js02. It must be the end of the world. Thank God my Broncos still have a Pro-bowl quarterback.
cluster,
Yep, just like the other comments were insults. Whatever floats your boat.
I am sensing a high degree of borderline feminine sensitivity there kmg1?
What girl scout troop did you belong to?

Says the guy who burst into tears and wailed that making fun of him is “fascist.”
Another skewer from the uncanny wit of orlando. Is there no end to his repertoire of retorts?
Did I say my feelings were hurt? No, I just pointed out that you were throwing insults instead of arguing the topic. I understand your need to do that when you don’t have any facts to support you.
I don’t care about the topic, I just felt like aggravating some liberals.
It’s a fun sport.
“I don’t care about the topic, I just felt like aggravating some liberals.

Personally, I prefer football.

Then you’re in the right place, Casper.

Sure, Obama said that but by the accounts I heard including from Fazio it was said partly in jest. Don’t read too much into it. This is much less than nasty.
Anyway, Fazio has a good head on his shoulders. He is looking toward infrastructure as the primary driver to get the economy back on track. Obama won’t hold that against him.
That fish on your fascist fish finder is just a rock on the bottom. Time to break it off and try again.
