American Glob

In the wake of Obama’s disastrous handling of the gulf oil disaster, Organizing For America is crafting a new image for The One – he is only a man. Really?

The Democrats of Mobile, Ala., have not forsaken President Obama, says Democratic activist Darlene Gay-Allen. But they have questions. Will scarce jobs become more scarce as the oil spill defiles their sliver of coastline on the gulf? Will it be safe to keep living in this city still recovering from Hurricane Katrina? Does Obama have any power to help them?

In answer, she cues up the music. “I’m Only a Man” by the Dells sometimes blares from a boombox as she registers voters around town and tries to persuade her neighbors to back the president during trying times.

“We try to explain to people it’s going to take time to get this all back on track,” said Gay-Allen, a volunteer for Organizing for America, a voter outreach group that grew out of the president’s vast grass-roots network during the 2008 campaign. “President Obama is only a man, and he’s doing the best he could.”

In Sarasota, Fla., where the oil has not yet reached the beaches but has already delivered a blow to the tourism industry, longtime Democratic activist Rick Farmer said his effort to win over voters has never been more difficult. The oil spill has deepened anxiety over persistent unemployment and an anemic housing market.

“I can’t tell you how much anger there is out there,” he said. “I have people ready to spit in my face.”

Forgive me if my sympathy level equals ZERO.

Maybe they should have said Obama is just a man when the media was repeatedly crowning Him with halos.

As Republican Charles Djou inches closer to victory, Hawaii Dems are starting to panic.

I cite as evidence this pathetic letter to the editor in the Honolulu Weekly:

Djou Resign Yet?

Many of us are wondering why Councilman Charles Djou has not resigned from his seat on the Honolulu City Council. How can he effectively fulfill his obligations and responsibilities as a Council member and run a full-time congressional campaign? Legally, he is not required to resign, but what about his moral obligation to the community? It seems apparent he believes that he will lose this election and needs his council seat to fall back on when he does. It is clear that Djou feels his political ambitions are more important than serving the people that elected him to office. His lack of principles and integrity disqualify him from holding any political office in Hawaii!

David Bohn
Wahiawa

A quick Google search shows there is a “David Bohn” of Wahiawa, HI who’s a registered member of Change.org.

Assuming it’s the same David Bohn and assuming his membership in Change.org is indicative of his ardent support of Obama, one has to wonder if Mr. Bohn was compelled to write a similar letter to the editor when Barack Obama was ignoring his duties as a US senator while running for president.

Meanwhile, Obama himself is using his political activism group Organizing for America to plea with Hawaii voters to vote for a Democrat. Any Democrat…

President Obama is out with an email to his Organizing for America supporters in Hawaii urging them to vote for a Democrat in Hawaii’s upcoming special election—either Democrat.

Even with former Rep. Ed Case and Democratic state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa splitting the Democratic vote—a scenario that is making it increasingly likely Republican Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou could win the heavily Democratic seat—Obama does not specify which contender he is urging Hawaii voters to choose in the May 22 race.

And then we come to the real reason for the panic…

“I wanted to take a moment to write directly to you, the voters of Hawaii’s 1st district. Hawaii has special meaning for me — it’s where I was born and spent much of my time as a child,” writes Obama of the seat former Rep. Neil Abercombie vacated to run for governor.

It’s all about Obama. Always was, always will be.

If the Democrats lose this seat while Obama is president, they will consider it an embarrassment and although a victory for Djou isn’t guaranteed, it seems likely at this point.

With that in mind, the Democrats might want to dust off their trusty media spin machine sooner than later.

UPDATE: Linked at Riehl World View, thanks Dan!

Obama’s army of leftist twits, known as “Organizing for America” decided to sponsor a video contest in which entrants would produce videos to help support the passage of ObamaCare. What qualifies as a “finalist” video you ask? Why, defacing the American Flag, of course!

Politico has a full report on this which you can read here. If you really want to know how this helps Obama and the Democrats, just read the comments at the bottom of the page.

What the hell do you call this?

“It’s not even noon on the West Coast and already Capitol Hill staffers say they’re getting nonstop calls from constituents in support of President Barack Obama’s health insurance reform. At about 2:15 EST, Organizing for America (OFA) surpassed it’s goal of 100,000 phone calls to Congress, each one imploring representatives to vote for reform.”

“The nationwide “Time to Deliver on Health Reform” event is the most massive outpouring of support from Obama supporters since Election Day 2008.”

Tea Partyers organize and they’re denounced as astroturf. Obots do it and then announce how proud they are of it.

Previously on this blog, I’ve written of Obama’s plans to re-brand 9/11 with the help of the DNC and Organizing for America, Obama’s political action group.

Organizing for America recently published, on their public website, their plans to use 9/11 to push Obama’s agenda by making it a day to call legislators in an organized campaign.

In their own words, they said the following:

“All 50 States are coordinating in this – as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic process, whipped to a frenzy by their FOX Propaganda network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.”

“and according to a White House Advisor to the President with whom I spoke ten days ago at a DNC Panel, he said, “ON ONE DAY, you “burn up” the Senate Switchboards – the NEXT DAY you’ve got the Senator’s attention.” We will achieve that effect, on Friday, Patriot Day 9/11.”

This language has since been SCRUBBED from the OFA website but thanks to the Heritage Foundation, we have a screen capture. Click the image to enlarge.

Two things are crystal clear.

1. The Obama Adminsitration, in partnership with the DNC and Organizing for America, is using the tradgedy of 9/11, a national American tradgedy, to promote a political agenda. This is sick.

2. The Obama Administration, with the same partnerships, has declared war on FOX News which they clearly view as an enemy. This is something that would have caused left (including the media) to scream FASCISM from the rooftops if the Bush Administration had targeted a network, ANY network, in a similar fashion.

The Obama Adminsitration, OFA and the DNC are subverting a moment of national identity which should be above any partisanship, as it was on September 11, 2001. It is an insult to ALL Americans that they would do so.

A growing number of people in this country are beginning to believe it is under attack from within. Those of us who speak out are called terrorists (this, from the party of Bill Ayers) and propagandists by the very people who are using fear tactics and propaganda as they try to change the system to suit their agenda.

America is in distress.
