Remember Obama said MAKE ME DO IT

[populistdriven]

Enough with the hand wringing and warnings about losing the house senate white house supreme court. This is not what Obama wants or needs. Obama's speech in 2009 was as much about his philosophy as a president as it was about his specific reforms. What our dear friend Obama needs is a ferocious left joined by as many libertarians as are willing that stop at nothing to expose and reform our Government. Thank You Edward Snowden et al.

"President Barack Obama's address to Congress Wednesday night was not just a litany of policy prescriptions. It was a call to action.

His approach took a page out of President Franklin Roosevelt's playbook.

FDR once met with a group of activists who sought his support for bold legislation. He listened to their arguments for some time and then said, "You've convinced me. Now go out and make me do it."

Even in the middle of the Depression, Roosevelt understood that the more effectively people created a sense of urgency and crisis, the easier it would be for him to push for progressive legislation"

1. Surprise! He meant we need a court order.

Then if Holder can't stop it, and if the activity can't be hidden because of fake national security concerns, then he'll think about it.

2. The anger is well placed and we can thank the press for doing their jobs and the whistle blowers.

Now its our turn.

3. it's the same people who said "don't go 3rd party, primary!" and we all remember

what their response was to those primaries...

4. Meh.

5. Yeah, he did

And then he gets angry about being pushed by the left. So he really didn't seem to mean it. The only ones he seems comfortable 'making' him do things are the banksters and the MIC.

People do need to concentrate on 2014. We cannot, at any cost, let the repubs expand their power. And such increase will just send Obama and the party leadership the message that he 'needs' to go further rightward.
