Reflections From a Murky Pond

Whenever President Obama loses control over a domestic issue or feels that he has it is a good thing for America and for we, the People of America. It is always good for any free people when a would-be tyrant, especially one who sees himself as beneficent, is discomfited.

We are living in such a time. President Obama has lost some parts of the control he has had previously enjoyed over the MSM and news of the widespread dissent against him and his followers is now being published.

What Obama is most worried about, however, is that he and his followers no longer firmly the control the airwaves going into the upcoming 2010 Congressional Midterm Elections. Campaign ads are being run and the Obama Regime doesn’t know by exactly who.

As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls, mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country. But this summer, they’re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them.

Weekly Address, August 21, 2010

That’s an ironic and cosmically hypocritical position for some who has made sure to shroud their entire past – birth, education, religion, and even election funding – from scrutiny by the American people he has sought to rule over.

But of course Obama can’t stand not knowing exactly who is behind each and every bit of dissent. He cannot follow the rules of his political strategy as laid out by his longtime friend and mentor, without such knowledge.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Rules for Radicals, Rule 11

I can easily see where many groups of Americans might prefer to shield themselves however they can from reprisals by the Obama Regime.

Admittedly though, America has been damaged and insulted in the past by “shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names,” such as Organizing for America, ACORN, SEIU, Move On, Code Pink, and the Cordoba Initiative. Somehow though I doubt that Obama would really want their sources of funding looked at too closely – or what and/or who they’re buying or have bought with that money.
