BETWEEN BARACK AND A HARD PLACE
(Just found out that this is an O'Reilly ism didn't mean to copy!)

The Dems were desperate to find a candidate that would take them back to occupying the White House. They chose, or were presented with, Obama, because he had what they were looking for. He was young, well spoken, charismatic (at least some think so), and he is bi-racial, a characteristic that they could use if anyone dared disagree with him.

On top of these sterling qualities, he had connections, with Acorn, and more organizations from the Chicago days than you can count.

The fact that he was radical, that he had less than exemplary connections, and no experience, were secondary. I really believed that they either turned a blind eye to his previous associates, or convinced themselves, in the name of securing the Presidency, that these were all things from his past, and would miraculously go away.

I don't believe that anyone (and I'm giving everyone the benefit of the doubt), expected him to be as radically liberal and socialistic as he openly admitted to being during and after the election.

According to the recent polls, more folks disagree with the Obama administration than agree, but that doesn't stop the arrogance. Recently, Obama told the American people basically to "shut up and let him handle things." He feels no more concern or responsibility for the opinions of the American people than he did during the campaign, or going into the Presidency.
We have to wonder where this disdain and subsequent confidence comes from in a democracy where his grand plan has been exposed and the people are beginning to open their eyes and see what some of us knew from the start.
He has confidence that he has the elected Dems in his pocket, his czars have his back, Acorn and other liberal groups are his new army, and the combined experience of his Chicago training are his strength.
He has indeed fulfilled his promise of change. He is on a roll to change democracy to socialism, the presidency into a dictatorship, and the American people into servants and dependents of the state.

Now, our elected officials are holding town meetings, where they have to answer for their transgressions, explain why everything that has transpired in the last few months was done with haste and in the dark of night, why they don't read what they vote on, and why they don't listen to their constituents.

On the one hand, they are mandated to "stand by their man", and their decision to support him. On the other hand, they are faced with the fact that they are not popular with the people who put them in office.
