Will Obama Silence Critical Media?

Much of the mainstream media has beeen Obama's pocket" since he announced his bid for the presidency. Nothing he could do was wrong, according to the major networks and newspapers. They generally haven't published critical articles, seeking out glowing reports and polls and emphasizing them...in a way, indoctronizing the public.

Now you begin to see a scattering of headlines and articles that, while not necessarily critical, focus on individuals and groups that are opposed to some of Obama's programs and policies.

It will be interesting to see if Obama silences these and in some manner forces the media to report only news that promotes him and his programs...as dictators in other countries do and dictators in the past, like Hitler and Stalin, did.

It's a little more difficult these days with the Internet and social media to shut down all criticism. But those, too, could be censored, if Obama had enough backing for his executive orders.

Obama Follows Chavez's Trend in Socializing the US

If you follow what is going on in Venezeula, governed by dictator Hugo Chavez, you'll see the trends that are beginning to happen here. Chavez has a vendetta against big business and anyone making a profit, so he takes over industry with some nutsy excuse or another.

Look carefully at what Obama and his czars are doing, and you will find the same trend, as he takes over the auto industry, sets caps for corporate salaries, gives favors and money to big labor, and stirs up a hate industry against anyone who disagrees with him.

Obama Advances His Agenda and Sells Out the U.S.

Do we conclude from Obama's failure to defend the United States against tirades from South American dictators that the United States really isn't Obama's country, that he really isn't a native born America, as many suspect?

Do we conclude that Obama is only using OUR country to further his agenda and goal to become dictator as he crawls into bed with other dictators who would welcome/support his true ideas and actions better our traditional allies?

Is Obama selling out the United States to advance himself? He actually told Ortega he was glad that dictator didn't slam him, but the U.S. instead.

Obama Continues to "Snow" the People

Even though Obama is leading the country deeper and deeper in debt and stocks plunge lower, apparently the majority of people continue to be "snowed" by him, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

• Are they afraid to speak out and disagree because of his race? When someone does speak out against him, they're likely to be accused as racist, yet other races must bear criticism.
• Are they so overwhelmed by theatrics and charisma that they don't think and use common sense?
• Are many so jealous of those they perceive as having more that they're willing to fall into Obama's jealousy trap?

It is scary and so reminiscent of how Hitler came to power and took freedom away from the German people.

Obama Pushes the Panic Button

Obama, on Prime Time TV, pushed the panic button even harder tonight in an attempt to deceive the public about his Stimulus Bill and strike terror into an unsuspecting citizenry. As a package full of pork, discrimination against the elderly and the weak, and religious descrimination, the stimulus package swells to encompass huge spending that will leave our country in dire future financial straits (much worse than it is now).

In an attempt to scare the public into submission, as he and the Democrats run full throttle into dictatorship, Obama tells us we have no hope unless we look to him as a messiah with the life saving stimulus plan.

According to the Congressional Budget Office report released last Friday, this stimulus package will do more harm in the long run than if nothing were done at all. If citizens looked carefully at the ramifications, which Obama and the Democrats don't want them to, they would have reason to be terrified...more so than they are now.

Will Obama Limit Wages & Profits in Small Businesses, too?

As Obama starts by capping the wages of corporate executives, I wonder if this isn't the first step to controlling all businesses, including small ones and home based ones. Will we be penalized if we have the initiative to take risks and endure hardships to start a small business which grows into a very successful one, as Patricia Bolton and Alex Anderson have done in the quilting world?

What if you develop a consulting business, one that produces unique products that you started in your home, one that provides a service like day care or home nursing...anything that creative and energetic Americans have done since colonial days?

Will they be forced to limit their income and profits? Or if they make over a specific amount, will they be forced to give that to those who prefer to life "on the dole?"

Think about it...limiting big business is just the first step to limiting ALL businesses and creating a dictorship and socialism.

Obama's Inaugural Speech...

"Mary, did you hear him? Wasn't his speech magnificent?" a teaching colleague gushed.

Yet a teen I know said, when asked what she thought about Obama's Inaugural speech, "It was a lot of generatlities. He didn't say anything."

The teen had come up with this on her own because, in general, her teachers praised the speech. (Most of the schools showed the Inauguration on TV in the classrooms in area schools.)

I thought, "What a thinking young woman. She's not swayed by the emotion of the moment, but can see through the smoke and mirrors."

Her comment doesn't say whether she agrees or disagrees with Obama. However, she's astute enough to want some substance, not simply generalities and emotional "feel good" stuff.

We must teach our youngsters to look beyond the smoke and mirrors rather than being caught up in the emotion of the moment. The whole Inauguration event was a stupendous show of smoke and mirrors with multitudes caught up in emotion, not looking at the ramifications of what Obama's regime can mean to the country...and the world.

*Will Obama follow through with campaign promises...good and bad? Right now it looks like he's convincing his public that it will take longer than he expected. But, caught up in the emotional morass of the moment, they're willing to overlook his reniging on promises. For how long, as they struggle along as usual without any real changes in the Promised Land of Change.

*Is he trying to satisfy everyone, playing both ends against the middle? How long can he do this?

*Where does it end as we tumble into a crevasse of overspending, handouts, and socialism?

*Of course, socialism means control of the unthinking public (and by controlling them eventually overthrowing the thinking public) until a dictator stands in place.

I hope, for our country's sake, there are more thinking teens out there!

Is Obama Manipulating His Fellow Americans? Is Their Trust Misplaced?

Using those promotional tactics I discussed in a previous post, The Obama Team - Masters of Promotion, Obama now could ask for anything, do anything (good or evil) and have the majority of Americans fall over in obedience. He has become a "god," whom they hold in awe without looking beneath the surface. They expect miracles from him while he's only human. They expect he'll instaneously meet all his campaign promises and "change" their lives for the better and solve all their problems.


They see no traits that could signify a dictator, nor flaws meaning weakness. When a person becomes a "god," he has much to live up to. Often the power goes to his head and before people are aware, he has become a tyrant trampling them in his grasp for absolute control.


Those of us who have lived years of history have seen all of this happen and in between. Let's pray the country's trust has not been misplaced in Barack Obama.

Obama Tries to Enhance His God-like Status

With this push for the massive stimulus package, Obama is pushing even closer to a "god-like" status. We all but have people sprawling in front of him in the streets so he can trample over them....with a smile

The theory seems to be...as Hitler, Hussein and other dictators have done...give the people something to start with, then they won't complain when you take away their freedoms or raise taxes. With 51% of the people (and it's approaching that) of the people on some sort of government subsidy, Obama and his crew will have control of the populace.

For if those on the recipient end complain, they could have their subsidies (Social Security, welfare, unemployment, disability, tax exemptions, medical care, free this and free that) yanked. So then their control and independence is gone...and they don't even realize it.

What do you want...freedom or socializm? Yanked about like a puppet or walking proud like a free man or woman?

Obama "buying" Supporters or Truly Interested in the Economy?

Is Obama really, really interested in shoring up the economy...or is he "buying" support and followers with vast giveaways.

Bribing people to be your follower, your supporter and making them dependent on you is an age-old strategy of dictators. It's a first step in obtaining twisted loyalty. Look at the dictators of history. Bribe the populace with bare subsistence, and those close to you with opulence and you have set in place the wheels of change for getting rid of your opponents.

Will the economic stimulus package really help in the long term, or is it simply a strategy for making the vast majority puppets while taxing those with anything left to pay for it.

Have you ever heard the Little Red Hen and Her Bread story? We see it in motion right now. What happens when the Little Red Hen stops making bread?
