What Did Obama Know? - When Did He Know It?

"To come to know your enemy, first you must become his friend, and once you become his friend, all his defences come down..  Then you can choose the most fitting method for his demise."  -- Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) Japanese Shogun

Obama could not have been any clearer. On a chilling video, posted on the Breitbart.tv website, Obama essentially admits, that he is disgusted by patriotic Americans like you and that he wants you to sit down... shut up... and do as you are told: 

"I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but I don't want [them] to do a lot of talking." 

What exactly is Obama saying? Is he saying you are somehow responsible for all of our society ills?

Is he saying that his mad dash to institute ObamaCare from sea to shining sea is necessary because it's the only way to clean up a "mess" that you and patriotic Americans like you created? 

Or does he believe that you are a mindless robot... a puppet of evil special interests that have ordered you to exercise your First Amendment rights? 

And what about his solution? 

Is he essentially saying, sit down... shut up... and snitch on your neighbors if they're saying something he deems to be "fishy"... or else union thugs will beat you senseless? 

One thing is certain, in recent days, Obama has shown his contempt for Americans who disagree with him. 

Perhaps that is why he is trying to turn our country into something with disturbing similarities to Mussolini’s Italy... or Stalin’s Russia. 

Perhaps that is why the Obama White House is calling peaceful protestors, Americans fed up with the country’s shocking decline into socialism and statism, members of a “mob.” 

Perhaps that is why Obama’s lackeys in the White House recently posted a call on the White House blog site asking people to report neighbors, friends, and family members that dare says something "fishy"... the Obama White House's term for what most people call the truth. 

And perhaps that is why union bullies from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are now harassing and physically assaulting people who reject ObamaCare. 

Are these incidents coincidences or are they connected? 

The time to find out is now. 

We can get answers... and, at the same time, we can send a clear message to all those who oppose freedom and liberty that no one is above the law... that the United States of America is not a police state. 

And we can start by barraging Congress and the White House with faxes demanding that Congress investigate what part the White House may have played when it comes to the thuggery and the unspeakable and barbarous attacks against Americans who oppose ObamaCare. 

When it comes to these attacks, the American people have a right to know the answer to the question: What did the White House know and when did the White House know it? 

Demand an immediate, hard-hitting congressional investigation into what part the White House may be playing in coordinating the unspeakable attacks against patriotic American citizens. Tell them the American people want to know what the White House knew and when did the White House know it when it comes to the heavy-handed, un-American actions leftists and their bought and paid-for SEIU and ACORN thugs are taking against Americans exercising their constitutional right to voice their grievances against the government’s takeover of our health care. 

Obama’s mindless rush to shove health care “reform” down our throats has divided the country, turned what should have been a debate into a brawl, and put us all in danger. 

A member of the conservative web site FreeRepublic.com doesn’t mince words when he describes the gravity of the situation: 

“We are fast approaching the brink. [Obama] and his goons will try to stifle and suppress our freedom... and want to subjugate us in a socialist-fascist tyranny. I pray that patriots and Americans for freedom will rise up and fight to regain and restore our nation to its former greatness.” 

Laureen Cummings, a nurse, patient advocate, and conservative activist from central Pennsylvania, expresses in her newsletter the defiant spirit of real Americans: 

“This president is asking people to give him names of those that oppose his policies ... And sending his Union and ACORN Thugs out to 'beat us up' ... What the h—l is going on in this country?” 

Are the union vigilantes at town hall meetings getting their marching orders from the White House and Democrat Party bosses? 

It's a legitimate question... a question more and more Americans are starting to ask. 

According to Politico.com, Obama political advisers David Axelrod and James Messina told a group of Democrat lawmakers: 

“'If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,’ Messina said, according to an official [a Democrat] who attended the meeting.” 

So is it just a coincidence that SEIU union goons started assaulting patriotic Americans after the the Axelrod/Messina meeting? 

And consider this tidbit as well. 

According to Michelle Malkin, SEIU president Andy Stern made the following boast to the Las Vegas Sun: “We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama — $60.7 million to be exact — and we’re proud of it.” 

In light of Stern's boast, is the fact that these Brown Shirt tactics are being employed by SEIU members just a coincidence? 

It should go without saying that the physical assaults started after the Axelrod/Messina meeting and the proponents of ObamaCare are the only ones doing the punching and kicking. 

And yet, in spite of this cold, hard reality, the DNC’s Executive Director, Jen O’Malley Dillon sent the following paranoid message to millions of Democrats across the country: 

“There’s been a lot of media coverage about organized mobs intimidating lawmakers, disrupting town halls, and silencing real discussion about the need for real health insurance reforms. The truth is, it’s a sham. These ‘grassroots protests’ are being organized and largely paid for by Washington special interests and insurance companies who are desperate to block reform. They’re trying to use lies and fear to break the President and his agenda for change.” 

Is Jen O'Malley Dillion delusional? 

If the first battle for America began in 1776, the second battle – one for our country’s soul – is underway in 2009. We must win it, or what our nation has always meant to us and the world will fade away as if it were all a dream. 

We must remind Obama and Congress that we don’t work for them. Rather, they work for us, and if they don’t want to hear our heartfelt, reasoned rejection of government’s taking over health care, then they’re in the wrong business. 

Union Goons: Out For Blood... 

Americans are horrified as we see things happen in our land that we never imagined possible. Many good citizens are speaking out forcefully about their heartfelt fears that malevolent forces in the federal government are gutting our republic. 

At a Tampa, FL, town hall, conservative businessman Randy Arthur was angry when he found members of the SEIU had snuck in early and filled most of the seats. He and his wife insisted that they must be allowed in to the public meeting. 

For his efforts, Arthur had his shirt ripped apart, his chest scratched and was thrown against a wall. 

The worst violence has thus far been perpetrated by SEIU members – wearing tee-shirts showing their union affiliation – at a town hall meeting in St. Louis, Missouri. 

A Black conservative named Kenneth Gladney was offering small flags to those at the St. Louis town hall meeting and was viciously accosted by SEIU members. 

Gladney’s attorney, Robert Brown, describes what happened: 

"Kenneth was attacked on the evening of August 6, 2009 at [Democrat] Rep. Russ Carnahan's town hall meeting in South St. Louis County. I... witnessed the events leading up to the attack. Kenneth was approached by an SEIU representative as Kenneth was handing out 'Don't Tread on Me' flags to other conservatives." 

Brown continues: 

"The SEIU representative demanded to know why a black man was handing out these flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, [and] then punched him in the face. Kenneth fell to the ground. Another SEIU member yelled racial epithets at Kenneth as he kicked him in the head and back. Kenneth was also brutally attacked by one other male SEIU member and an unidentified woman." 

You might ask: in all this, where are the usually media-hungry Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? And where is Attorney General Eric Holder? The answer... they’re nowhere to be found. 

Bill Wilson, head of Americans for Limited Government (ALG), has gone as far as to blame the Obama Administration for the Gladney attack: 

“The White House sent out millions of emails, as did the DNC, and the SEIU, all calling on supporters to attend these meetings. And now we know why. The SEIU . . . was formed by Wade Rathke, also founder of the group, ACORN, which Barack Obama served as an attorney. These are the same people that helped get Barack Obama elected. Barack Obama has long-time financial and material relationships with ACORN and SEIU.” 

Clearly, we need to let Congress and the White House know that the American people are very angry, and they need to know that the American people demand answers. 

Protesting Against an Evil, Death-Promoting Health Plan...

Patriotic Americans who oppose ObamaCare believe passionately that men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 

Moreover, patriotic Americans believe that "to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." 

The proponents of ObamaCare have difficulty accepting the language and intent of our Constitution. 

Responsible to no one the Obama White House and extreme leftists in Congress have no concept of the meaning of "life" and "liberty." And their authoritarian version of “happiness” is based on government handouts and bureaucratic control. 

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says ObamaCare is "downright evil." She predicts it will lead to rationing and the denial of care to the elderly and special needs children, saying: 

“As the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. ... And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.” 

Political expert Dick Morris expressed similar sentiments, saying: 

“For the elderly, [ObamaCare] means less care, period. A federal health board will sit in judgment of medical procedures and protocols and impose guidelines on all providers for when to withhold certain kinds of care.” 

A moral relativist like Obama doesn’t respect the elderly any more than he does the unborn. As for special needs citizens, Obama used them as the butt of his “Special Olympics” joke on a late-night talk show. 

Congress needs to see and hear the disgust that is being felt by average Americans... both at Obama's “downright evil” death plan... and the thugs and spies that are trying to block dissent. 

Can Protestors and Patriots Defeat ObamaCare?

We not only can win, we are winning. But we need to keep up the intensity of our opposition to scam-health proposals that will make our nation sicker, physically, mentally, and spiritually. 

Obama’s bizarre health plan will bring millions of people into an already burdened health care system – many of them illegal immigrants. Obama’s health scam won’t save money, but rather will – as the Congressional Budget Office keeps telling him – end up costing untold trillions. 

Americans know this, because we are not idiots. We know that if we don’t resist ObamaCare with every fiber of our being, Palin’s dire predictions of “death panels” and rationed care will come true. 

A Club for Growth summary, citing information gleaned from pollster Scott Rasmussen gives us hope: 

“Though voters are torn about [health care] reform, there is intensity among the opposition. Just 25% strongly favor the reform effort, while 41% are strongly opposed. Those opposed to Mr. Obama's reform appear to have momentum on their side. Polling last weekend showed that 48% of voters rate the U.S. health-care system as good or excellent. That's up from 35% in May . . . and up from 29% a year ago.” 

Senator Jim DeMint has said that the health issue could be Obama’s “Waterloo” and that a defeat on this issue could “break” the Obama presidency. 

Now is the time for us to introduce key people in DC, including Obama and congressional leaders, to political reality. Our underlying message must be that it’s better to break a presidency – a profoundly flawed one – than to shatter our country. 

We are the people, and they must answer to us.
