Over a budget squabble, and because they are trying to make a petty political point, you are watching this administration kick people out of their homes because they live on federal land.  You are seeing them block roads just to make sure you can’t see national monuments like Mount Rushmore.   They’ve even proclaimed you can’t use the ocean.
Worse yet, you are even seeing them block off War Memorials so that veterans or families cannot visit, pay their respects, and sit in quiet reflection of their fallen brothers and sisters, moms and dads….  this is how petty, angry, and hateful they are.
Mr. Pinko asks… “Vindictive Government?”  …..So what exactly do you think they’d be willing to do, to really make a point, if they held control over your healthcare access?

Just think about it…
…. before it’s too late !

Message to GOP – Hold the line ! Message to Tea Party Freshman Patriots – “Hold The GOP” !

*Note this picture is from TODAY.  Note what has replaced the “Halo” – It’s subtle, but if the media did not notice Stompy Feet was a pontificating whiner, it would not be allowed.  US President Barack Obama speaks about hurricane preparedness as well as the budget showdown with Congress on October 7, 2013, on the seventh day of the government shutdown (AFP Photo/Saul Loeb)

In the politicized back and forth, that has become the new normal, you must review each subtle movement through the prism of ‘narrative risk management’.   As the New York Times now weighs in “This is most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered,”… (link)   This is a brutal recognition of Dear Leader, Valerie Jarrett and Denis McDonough.
Internal White House polling must be giving them fits right now. The American People are not losing resolve; in fact, just the opposite is true, more and more people are joining a growing group awakening to the reality of how destructive Obamacare is, and just WHAT the reason is for this fight.   THIS is from a moonbat in Californiastan:

“I was laughing at Boehner — until the mail came today,”  […]   “I really don’t like the Republican tactics, but at least now I can understand why they are so pissed about this. When you take $10,000 out of my family’s pocket each year, that’s otherwise disposable income or retirement savings that will not be going into our local economy.” […]  “Of course, I want people to have health care,” Vinson said. “I just didn’t realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally.”   (link)

NPR, the liberal basement for all media pontifications, tells it’s reports to back off using the term Obamacare?  If Obamacare was so dreamy, that would never happen.  No, what’s happening is Obamacare has become a risk.   Within that “risk” is the future of all left-wing liberalism.
And even more telling is this.  Stompy Feet moves to put himself on the outside of the issue(s), trying to give himself some distance from the inherent risk:

President Obama has handed over the reins of leadership on government funding and the debt limit to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Reid is now fully in charge of his party’s negotiating strategy, a significant change from past showdowns with Republicans.  (link)

(Article @Daily Pamphlet)  This week, the left’s psychosis is on full display. Nowhere more obvious is the loss of mental function than in the far-left MSM, who will obfuscate the highest level of crime, and the lowest level of deviousness of Democrats, to propagate and proselytize their ideology
Today, in all its glory, the left wing rag The New Republic went so far as to suggest the Obama Administration break out the tanks, and do some killing of Republicans, to “put the boot on the throats” of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Actor James Woods tweeted the adage to me a few weeks ago, if you scratch away the surface of a leftist, you expose a fascist. Nowhere is this more evident and proven than the suggestion by The New Republic’s Senior Editor Julia Ioffe’s suggestion that Obama act as Boris Yeltsin did when he shot up Russia’s Parliament building with T-72 tanks.
I have now heard it all. I have seen it all. What we are witnessing is what “The Great One” Mark Levin calls “Soft Tyranny.” Such tyranny is a slow walk to 25% of our population being murdered, as Stalin, Pot, Mao, and Castro did, to name just a few of the most illustrious and storied Marxist “revolutionaries” who murdered all of those who couldn’t be “retrained”…as Obama crony Bill Ayers promised to do in his manifesto. (more…)

President Obama is ridiculously shrinking himself in front of an entire nation.  Do you think this is serendipity, or strategy?   Yeah, me too....

U.S. special forces raids, one successful – one not. 

Nazih Abdul-Hamed Nabih al-Ruqai’I (Anas al-Libi for short)  has been on the “kill or capture” list for 15 years.   He was a middle level al-Qaeda guy in the 90’s and thought to have been behind the cell that carried out the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombings in 1998.
Both CNN and NBC are reporting he was captured in Libya (Tripoli maybe?)  […]

Al Libi has been a member of al Qaeda since at least 1994 and was a confidante of Osama bin Laden.  He also is a computer expert for the group and is believed to be one of the masterminds of the 1998 U.S. Embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 12 Americans and more than 220 Kenyans. He has been indicted in New York in connection with the attacks and could ultimately be brought to the U.S. to stand trial.

The unsuccessful raid was in Somalia […]  (more…)

A few days BigFurHat @iOTW predicted the following:

Many laughed thinking it was silly.    Well, it has indeed come to pass (more…)

Commodore Snoogie Woogums predicted this:

[…] Park spokeswoman Maureen Hugatree stated that the orders to fill in the canyon with fog had come straight from the White House. “They told me that they had deemed the fog machine operators to be essential emergency personnel with previous experience of clouding issues to the public,” she explained… (peoples cube)

Now it has come to pass…. (more…)

Yesterday President Stompy Feet posed for his latest national portrait.   Today the park service admits they were told to inflict the maximum public pain during the government shutdown.  Also today, the Border Patrol reveals they have been told to “Stand Down” and ignore border crossings.
All of this why?
Because the actual truth is people are awakening to the reality that most of the federal government is *non essential*; and, quite frankly, we can just do without them.  THAT is the real risk to sellers of BIG government.   It’s the same visible reality that stemmed from the ‘sequester cuts’ which, despite all the protestations to the contrary, really don’t have impact.   That’s the real issue. (more…)

Still Dancing….

And so we enter Day #4 of the federal shutdown with the media still gnashing it’s horrible teeth determined to frame the horrid Republican Anarchists, Terrorists, jihadists.   But the electorate continue to defy the media demands.

Tea Party extremists caused this #BoehnerShutdown. Tell @SpeakerBoehner to end it now: http://t.co/hLq6qOd2lM pic.twitter.com/WW4soKEibu

CBS Polling shows when the government shut down back in November 1995, 51 percent of Americans blamed the Republicans in Congress, while 28 blamed President Bill Clinton.
And what are those numbers today? 44% blame GOP, 35% blame Obama, and 17% blame both.  Imagine what the polling would be if the media reporting was neutral.
But the media was able to find an OFA organizer who signed up for Obamacare.  Only there was one little issue they didn’t share.  His premium TRIPLED. (more…)

Yesterday we shared how POTUS was angry, and gave examples of his “stompy feet” mentality.   However, it’s gotten worse…. much worse.

President Obama gave an interview to CNBC (financial news) you must watch this video and recognize what he’s doing here.   He is intentionally talking down the stock market and the financial sector:

There are efforts to *hide* this video – so if you can’t play it on site GO HERE
We are traditionally programed to believe our President acts, and speaks, in the best interests of our nation.   Therefore it is jaw dropping to actually bear witness to a sitting U.S. President intentionally drumming up FEAR and ANXIETY. (more…)

Comment Via Michellc – I’ve been witnessing my neighbors and fellow citizens having their worlds turned upside down due to Obama regulations and policies; and I haven’t heard much sympathy coming from him or Washington, but now federal employees are losing a few weeks pay and the violins come pouring out.
