Ken Blackwell gets right down to it in “Obama Channels Nixon”. I am hoping to one-day make the Enemies List as well.
The president gives flowery, Kumbayah speeches about post-partisan politics, changing the way Washington works, and reaching out to Republicans. At the very same time, he’s tasking his bare-knuckled hit-men with secretly finding a private-sector person to falsely label as the leader of the Republican Party, and then use the stature of the White House as a platform to smear that person and the GOP.
This outrageous smear campaign is beneath the dignity of any president. It demeans the White House to orchestrate such a dishonest campaign. And sadly, President Obama has destroyed whatever chance he had of building bridges with the GOP. He has engaged in the worst form of Chicago-style politics. By acting like a cheap political hack, he makes it clear that Republicans have no choice but to vigorously oppose his hyper-partisan, ultra-liberal agenda.
