Obama’s Enemies List Grows

Just having the appearance of someone who might possibly vote for
an opponent of Barack Obama could land them on the President’s
enemies list where proxies do the dirty work. Political
appointees in the Justice Department killed a six-month
investigation by career DOJ lawyers into the most blatant

voter intimidation case in 40 years. Last November,
jack-booted, uniformed, baton-wielding
thugs from the New Black Panther Party calling themselves
“security” obstructed a Philadelphia polling location and

behaved in an intimidating manner toward white voters.

Days after dismissing charges against the menacing thugs, the
Justice Department moved in the opposite direction by blocking
responsible steps to stem voter fraud. The DOJ
barred the administrative procedures Georgia authorities put
into place – under federal court guidance — to verify voter
registrations. The DOJ claimed the procedures violated the rights
of minority voters.

A de facto Obama
enemies list and dirty political machine have been expanding
since last year. Obama has established several embarrassing
presidential firsts including
targeting private individuals by names, assigning a
well-known “partisan dirt-digger” and non-lawyer to the White
House Counsel’s Office to likely gain access to Bush
Administration documents protected under attorney-client
privilege, and moving the senior political advisor into the West
Wing. These are heretofore unseen partisan practices.

Career opposition researcher Shauna Daly
left the White House Counsel’s Office after a mere month and
returned to the Democratic National Committee where using
privileged attorney-client information in the opposition research
department would set a new low in unethical practices.

Attempting to build-up the Obama Administration by criticizing
that of his predecessor has become a near-daily exercise. Obama
has personally led efforts to demonize George W. Bush. There has
been a full-court press to label enhanced detainee interrogation
techniques, approved by Democratic leaders and discontinued for
the past six years, as “torture.” Interrogation
techniques used on tens of thousands of U.S. servicemen and
women for more than two decades were suddenly considered criminal
acts and Bush officials in the review and approval chain have
been smeared as criminals.

Two military psychologists who supervised the enhanced
interrogation techniques that were used on only three terrorist
leaders were publicly outed
by Democratic Senator Carl Levin placing both doctors and their
families in personal danger. The doctors’ identities had
previously been kept under wraps.

Obama’s lawyers are attempting to
financially ruin individuals party to the most absurd soap
opera involving the 44^th president. There is unabated
controversy regarding his birth, citizenship and foreign travel.
Obama could immediately silence his critics by authorizing the
release of his original birth certificate and passport. One has
to wonder what could possibly be in either document that has
caused Obama to wage a fierce and expensive legal battle to keep
the files secreted. Aside from Joan Rivers, nearly every American
would willingly make their birth certificate available and
Obama’s stubborn refusal to do so only adds to the controversy.

Petty personal politics, while damaging to the dignity of the
White House, have allowed the Obama Administration to elevate
political allies and their causes and denigrate valid critics.
David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political strategist, appeared on
National Public Radio last month and belittled a 21-year old
beauty pageant contestant,
insisting she was one of three finalists for the Obama family
dog. The target of Axelrod’s churlish remarks was Carrie Prejean,
the reigning Miss California. Weeks earlier, Prejean was
victimized by a militant homosexual judge who was angry she
did not enthusiastically endorse gay marriage in response to his
“have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife?” question during the Miss
USA competition.

Hours after a doctor specializing in partial-birth abortions was
slain, both
Obama and U.S. Attorney-General Eric Holder issued
statements strongly condemning the killing. Further, Holder

deployed scores of U.S. Marshals to protect abortion clinics
nationwide. The emphatic denunciation of this slaying differed
wildly with a nearly identical murder only 24-hours later. A
Muslim shot two U.S. Army soldiers outside a Little Rock
recruiting station killing one. Days later, the White House
quietly
faxed a subdued statement to a single Arkansas news outlet
while Holder
remained silent regarding the act of Islamic terrorism.

This antagonistic attitude toward servicemen and women is not
surprising. A few months earlier, the Department of Homeland
Security issued a document warning counterterrorism and law
enforcement authorities of an alleged threat to the U.S. posed by
“domestic rightwing terrorists.” Included in the group of
potential rightwing terrorists are individuals who are pro-life,
support the Second Amendment and oppose the flood of illegal
aliens. The DHS pamphlet also singled out military veterans for
possible recruitment into domestic terrorist cells.

The targeting of perceived political enemies by the Obama
Administration has grown from mere individuals to entire groups.
Evidence emerged that a common thread among the list of 789
Chrysler dealerships ordered closed by the White House is that
the owners
donated to GOP candidates, Republican-leaning causes or

donated to Hillary Clinton or John Edwards during the
Democratic presidential primaries.

Auto industry observers and others report that apparently
successful
franchises (such as Chrysler’s highest-rated 5-star
dealerships) were ordered closed in favor of less successful car
lots and the consistent discriminator was which political party
the owners supported. One
report suggests the closure list may have been drawn up by
the car czar’s office.

In some instances, dealerships ordered closed were those that
competed with franchises whose owners were prolific supporters or
contributors
to Democratic politicians. Thomas “Mack” McLarty, former chief of
staff to Bill Clinton, had virtually all of the
competition to his six dealership locations wiped out.

Also targeted during the auto industry purge were companies that
did not willingly agree to Obama’s political demands.
Representatives of three secured creditors that did not receive
any government bailout money reported they were
threatened if they did not agree to White House demands in
Chrysler’s restructuring. The White House insistence that secured
creditors accept only 29 cents on the dollar while inflating the
value of unsecured credit claims held by the United Auto Workers
turned two century-old bankruptcy policy on its head.

One fund manager reported being on the receiving end of a
profanity-laced tirade by Auto Industry Task Force head Steve
Rattner that included threats to use the
Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange
Commission in gangster-like enforcement roles.

In another exchange, Thomas Lauria, a lawyer for financial firm
Perella Weinberg Partners, reported the car czar threatened that
“the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its
[Perella Weinberg's] reputation” unless the firm agreed to Obama
administration demands in Chrysler’s bankruptcy. The failure by
the White House press corps to repudiate Rattner’s threat speaks
volumes and underscores their role as an ally of the Obama
Administration.
