Well, I think we now have some idea. Because being ever the political opportunist, it would appear that Barry now has now been provided with a potential solution for just that problem. As one never willing to let a good crisis go to waste, even one that’s essentially been manufactured by one’s political allies and made to appear to be a spontaneous “grassroots” demonstration centered around actual discontentment, our Socialist president, Barry “Almighty,” has now made his intentions known. What he now intends on doing is to use all of the artificial outrage disguised as anti-Wall Street fervor currently gripping much of the nation as a major campaign tool. It’s all to become part of Barry’s re-election strategy, at least according to a new report in Washington Post. As these George Soros funded and union supported, Occupy Wall Street protests enter their fifth week in New York and take hold around the rest of country, Team Obama strategists are reportedly seeking ways to use them against the GOP opposition, frontrunner Mitt Romney in particular, a former investment executive, in a attempt to peg them as being Wall Street sympathizers. Which more than a little ironic, really, since it was those on Wall Street who contributed much more money to Barry than they did to McCain back in 2008.
The Post reported: In recent days, Obama has ramped up the rhetoric significantly. He took the unusual step of targeting an individual company when he attacked Bank of America for its new $5 monthly debit-card fee, calling it “exactly the sort of stuff that folks are frustrated by.” In what was nothing more than a very blatant and purposeful attempt on the part of Barry to incite, in one interview, Barry went so far as to say that banks should perhaps “take a little less of a profit” rather than raise fees on customers. He also went on to say that the “banks don’t have some inherent right, you know, get a certain amount of profit if your customers are being mistreated. That you have to treat them fairly and transparently.” Such is the tactic to be employed by Barry and his re-election team. And the assault is, actually, already well underway with his campaign and the White House having already distributed messages blasting GOP candidates and lawmakers for wanting to repeal Wall Street regulations pushed by Barry and opposing the confirmation of a leader for the consumer protection bureau created as part of the overhaul. All is meant more to distract than to actually attempt to bring about any meaningful change.
In what was actually a rare example of honesty, Barry “Almighty” senior adviser David Plouffe said in an interview, “We intend to make it one of the central elements of the campaign next year.” Saying, “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.” Mr. Plouffe added, “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?’” I’m not sure, exactly, who it is that Mr. Plouffe was trying to convince here, whether it was himself or the voters. The level of sheer dishonesty on display here, pandering to the extreme, makes it very apparent that there is nothing that this group will not resort to, and nothing that they will not say. It’s the taking of gutter politics to a whole new level. However, according to the Post, the strategy does not come without risks, especially given some of the close ties Barry’s own advisers have to the financial industry. Many Occupy protesters have also expressed their suspicion of Democratic lawmakers, including Barry, in addition to Republicans.
During the most recent GOP debate, Romney attempted to head off some of the forthcoming attacks that are sure to be coming, aligning himself with the demonstrators and trying to present himself as a champion of the middle class, a mantle Obama has always sought to take up. “The reason you’re seeing protests…is middle-income Americans are having a hard time making ends meet,” Romney said. To actually resort to the supporting of the lazy malcontents taking part in all of this Occupy Wall Street nonsense, is not going to serve to endear him to conservatives, a group that he is already having trouble with and is going to need to both win the nomination and the general election. Trouble that stems from the stance he has taken on “climate change” being man made, Romneycare and his first he was for it then he was against abortion. So by siding with these demonstrating parasites I don’t think he has done himself any favors. The comments made by Herman Cain are closer to what conservatives want to hear. That the people taking part in these demonstrations have no one to blame but themselves for not being rich. Romney is demonstrating the same obvious political pandering as is Barry, who praised the Occupy movement, saying earlier this month it “expresses the frustrations the American people feel.” “We had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Huge collateral damage all throughout the country, all across Main Street. And yet, you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us in this problem in the first place,” Barry said.
But by his paying what is an undue amount of attention to these slackers on Wall Street, is nothing but one more example of Barry’s desire to enthusiastically employ his favorite tactic of class warfare. And if we are to have any hope of defeating Barry in 2012 we cannot allow ourselves to fall prey to it. As well, we need to make it very clear to those on the Republican side that it would be unwise for them to chose to stand with these demonstrators, over working Americans and they do so at their own peril. We need to all unite in making it clear that there is a limit to our generosity and that we are deserving, just as much as these pathetic leeches doing all the demonstrating, of being heard. Maybe even more so, because we’re the ones who are literally being forced to pick up the tab for their useless lives. And yet we seem to be the ones who are constantly being ignored, with some of those running for president choosing to stand with them while painting us as being the bad guys because we have the nerve to say we pay enough in taxes. All while these scumbags doing all of the complaining, pay nothing. We work hard, trying to pay our own way through life, and not relying on the government for anything. We ask for nothing but to be treated fairly, but far too often we’re simply taken advantage of so that politicians and provide ever more costly “entitlements” to these lazy, irresponsible parasites in exchange for their votes.
