It was just a matter of time before Saul Alinsky’s influence on President Obama surfaced. We have been talking about it for some time in this column to the dismay of my liberal friends, but the true color of this president is finally displaying his expertise in the only true job he ever excelled in – Chicago-style politics as a community organizer.
It should give the citizens of this country serious cause for concern.
According to the Washington Post Obama plans to turn anti-Wall Street anger on Mitt Romney and Republicans.
The move comes as the Occupy Wall Street protest gains momentum and Obama plans to pour fuel on the conflagration, not a very presidential move for the leader of the free world.
It clearly demonstrates his personal priorities over the nation’s problems with jobs and the economy, but what else is new with this socialist administration?
Quite to the contrary the anger of the country should be focused on Pennsylvania Avenue and the President of the United States not Wall Street and capitalism, who has failed to live up to his promises, least of all the oath of the office which he pledged to uphold along with the constitution.
But distraction is an Alinsky tactic that Obama has learned well and plans to use with little consideration to the cost to cities across this nation which these protests cause, at a time when they can least afford it.
The protests, fueled by Obama, could also result in a loss of life which this president apparently puts at a lower priority than he becoming a one term president.
Occupy Wall Street was not a spontaneous movement, it was planned and orchestrated just as Alinisky wrote, and Obama studied, in the book, “Rules For Radicals.”
The book contains all of the policies Obama has tried to implement legislatively and administratively, including wealth redistribution which is at the heart of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It also advocates the destruction of a nation for social justice for the middle class. Sound familiar?
Obama’s aides note that a Washington Post-ABC News poll, that main-stream media that doesn’t seem to know much about Alinsky’s, or for that matter Cloward & Pivin’s influence on Obama, that 68 percent of independents and 60 percent of Republicans say they have unfavorable impressions of the big financial institutions.
And so, the Obama strategists see this as their line of attack against Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, a former executive whom Obama aides plan to portray as a wealthy Wall Street sympathizer.
“We intend to make it one of the central elements of the campaign next year,” Obama senior adviser David Plouffe said in an interview. “One of the main elements of the contrast will be that the president passed Wall Street reform and our opponent and the other party want to repeal it.”
“I’m pretty confident 12 months from now, as people make the decision about who to go vote for, the gut check is going to be about, “Who would make decisions more about helping my life than Wall Street?” Plouffe added.
No, Mr. Plouffe, you and your President are more interested in helping yourselves, not the people you allegedly represnet.
The President and his aides are in trouble and this decision to fuel the Occupy Wall Street protests not only is a very bad presidential decision, it highlights other foreign and domestic policy decisions that have bombed – stimulus, bailouts, Obamacare, green jobs, no jobs, a failing economy, oh, and we could go on.
Obama and Warren Buffet talk about their willingness to pay more taxes, because they are wealthy.
Yet Buffet, in behalf of one of his companies, is fighting the IRS for nearly a decade over $1 billion in back taxes.
I don’t see either putting their dollars where their mouths are; there is no law preventing either Obama or Buffet from making a contribution to the IRS. I would suggest the two contribute $1 billion between them in behalf of a grateful nation. After all it would show some leadership, rather than fueling protests for reelection.
