I think that if Obama’s health care plan passes, and taxpayers take on even more responsiblity, it will be difficult to walk down the street and watch obese people and people who smoke without harboring resentment. It will also be hard to look at old people–why don’t you just die and save me money? I’m only half-joking here. I think that if we don’t actually start smacking burgers out of people’s hands, or pulling cigarettes from people’s mouths, we’re going to glare at people in the grocery line when they buy a box of doughnuts.

#6.

I’m looking forward to the day when people start regulating other peoples’ lives.

Is that what you meant to say, Ash?

If there is one thing that Obama has been very consistent on it is his total lack of interest in ever correcting any of his followers or people he associates with…..Ayers, Wright, so on and so forth.

One straightforward thing the prez could do to lower the heat is to tell the SEIU to stop beating up people… but he hasn’t done that, has he?

I am looking forward to the day when we have universal health care and people start smacking cheeseburgers out of fat peoples’ hands, screaming, “Stop raising my taxes, lardo!”

NDT, there’s a line in Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that reads that the purpose of the presidency isn’t to exercise power, but to draw attention away from power. Which is why the flamboyant but insane Zaphod Beeblebrox was elected president.

I get the same vibe from Obama. He’s an airhead, an empty suit, selected specifically so that his skin color, his narrative, his family, his date nights, even his idiotic running mate were all designed to distract attention while David Axelrod, Rahm Emmanuel, and John Podesta manipulated the real levers of power.

And the article contained the very seeds of what the liar is trying to do.

Obama made his latest appearance as a prominent ally, John Podesta, said the high-decibel attacks are designed to destroy his presidency rather than merely defeat health care legislation.

At a breakfast with reporters in Washington, Podesta predicted such tactics would backfire on Republicans and give the president a chance to “capture the center of the debate.”

So what we have is the usual lies in which Barack Obama tries to float Messiah-like above the fray while letting loose his attack dogs behind the scenes, just like he’s done to Sarah Palin.

Obama needs to be held personally accountable for the rhetoric, because he is. Ignore the Podestas and demand that Obama explain why he continues to attack people opposing him as haters. The only way to deal with Obama is to force him into either repudiating his Party or making it obvious how much of a hypocrite he is.

Based on his past performance, I think the chances of President Obama doing what you suggest are pretty slim. I do agree with you, however.
