Mmm, mmm, mmm… Barack Milhous Obama …mmm, mmm, mmm
I agree with US Senator Lamar Alexander and have been saying so for quite sometime.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) accused the White House on Wednesday of “street-brawling” with opponents, and said the West Wing’s strategy of freezing out opponents amounts to a latter-day “enemies list,” a reference to an infamous practice of President Richard Nixon.
”An ‘enemies list’ only denigrates the Presidency and the Republic itself,” Alexander said on the Senate floor. “These are unusually difficult times, with plenty of forces encouraging us to disagree. Let’s not start calling people out and compiling an enemies list. Let’s push the street-brawling out of the White House and work together on the truly presidential issues: creating jobs, reducing health care costs, reducing the debt, creating clean energy.”
Alexander continued:
“In 1969 and during the first half of 1970, I was a wet-behind-the-ears, 29-year-old staff aide in the West Wing of the Nixon White House. I was working for the wisest man in that White House, Bryce Harlow, who was a friend of President Johnson, as well as the favorite staff member of President Eisenhower, and President Nixon’s first appointee.
Based upon that experience and my forty years since then in and out of public life, I want to make what I hope will be taken as a friendly suggestion to President Obama and his White House: don’t create an enemies list.”
Obama has all of the worst qualities of Jimmy Carter & Richard Nixon and none of the good qualities of any recent President I can think of…

Man, I miss having adults in the WH. This petulent child is an embarrassment.

When we get a conservative in the WH, instead of shutting down the website, turn it to a Fact check site!

I’m hoping that Barack & Co. will soon find out that the thug tactics that work in Chicago (where I currently live, unfortunately) won’t play on a national stage.
They are an embarrassment to the country and the Office.

You are aware that the health care debacle is moving right along with no strong opposition while we are all tsk-tsking about the White House attacks on Fox. Diversionary tactic that seems to be working…

This advice about not creating an “enemies list” is falling of oversized ears.
Obama and thugs are doing a Valentine’s Day Massacre on the Constitution. They have every reason to eliminate their “enemies” and no intention of easing up. Meanwhile, their Cult of Obama followers will justify anything or are too perplexed to try to get a clear picture of what is going on.

#4: “I’m hoping that Barack & Co. will soon find out that the thug tactics that work in Chicago (where I currently live, unfortunately) won’t play on a national stage.”
jana, while I agree that Obama’s thug tactics, such as the demonization of Fox News, isn’t “playing” on the national stage (even several prominent liberal pundits see it as folly), it has to be said that to a certain extent it’s working because as in_awe pointed out in comment #6, while this has been going on, the Obamacare trainwreck has continued full steam ahead without significant, notable opposition being raised by the Representatives and Senators who are supposed to be representing us. (Even Newt Gingrich is busy, stubbornly backing a leftist imbecile in New York.)
It would seem that there literally has to be huge tea party every single day condemning both the Democrats AND the liberal Republicans in Congress for our own representatives in the GOP to get the message that we’ve had it with this “reaching across the aisle” bipartisan bullsh*t. At this point, unless a GOP candidate is at the top of Obama’s enemies list (in bold, underlined, AND circled) I just can’t support him or her.
Until we are willing to clean house and crush this misguided, school-of-McCain, “we need to be more liberal” virus currently infecting the GOP, we aren’t going to get ANYWHERE.

What comes after the enemies list? Wandering the hallways of the White House talking to the portraits in the middle of the night?…
It’s useful to be reminded that Pres. Wilson actually closed-down newspapers and had people arrested and imprisoned for honest dissent. And those who complained, got arrested themselves….
“Bush laughed, Obama complains…”

I’ll go you one better Ted.

Well you know, there IS a direct lineage of philosophy from Woodrow Wilson through Chairman Mao to Barack Milhous.
Too bad the American public was duped by a compliant media last year.

Bruce, thanks for highlighting the wise words of Lamar Alexander… probably the last viable RINO inside the GOP preserve. Alexander went on to note that if you gave Rahm a buzzcut, you’d have an HR Haldeman shoe-in back in the Oval Office and, if Alexrod shaved his mustache, you’d have an Ehrlichman stand in as well. Can our Magic Barack grow some jowls and a pointy nose? We’d be completely staffed for the Nixon White House, Part Deux.
Alexander, like on many issues in the last 40 yrs, is right once again. Sigh, I wish we’d have elected him and maybe Jeanne Kirkpatrick as veep… what a difference they’d have made. He’s wasted talent in the Dem-controlled Senate slop pit.
Nice highlight, Bruce. Thanks.

There is one good thing to come out of enemies lists now being okay. When a Republican wins in 2012, it will be fine to take out MSNBC. I expect the people and all other media to shrug as they have with the attack on the Chamber of Commerce, doctors (cutting off limbs unnecessarily), Big CEO’s, Fox News, the insurance companies, etc.
