Now, worse, his political organization is colluding with special-interest allies across the country to demagogue reform-minded governors who are making the tough choices that the President is avoiding.
“When the American people watched the people of Greece take to the streets to protest cuts to unsustainable government programs, they worried it might foreshadow events in our nation’s distant future – but today, we see the same sort of protests on the streets of Madison, fueled by President Obama’s own political machine.
“Rather than trying to ‘win the future,’ the President’s political allies are trying, desperately, to cling to a failed past by fighting reforms our nation needs to liberate our economy from the shackles of debt and create a better future for our children and grandchildren.
I have never seen a president behave in this manner. Do we have any examples of past presidents, colluding with special interests against US states?
I don't think so.
He is truly other, alien, like nothing this country has ever had sitting in the oval office.
This is truly unheard of - as states try to balance their red ink-laden budgets, obama is doing all he can to foment divisive political rhetoric.
Truly concerning. Where is the left-wing media in reporting this?
The Washington Post, “The president's political machine worked in close coordination Thursday with state and national union officials to mobilize thousands of protesters to gather in Madison and to plan similar demonstrations in other state capitals.” And, the Associated Pressreports the President’s special-interest allies plan to spend money to gin up similar protests in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Maine, and Pennsylvania.
Chicago, dirty, politics... you hear that Sanrene?
Yes. Ever hear of the Chicago Machine. I think Sanrene is clear as it was the Democratic Machine.
