'Stop trying to frighten the American people'

President Barack Obama told House Republican leaders to "stop trying to frighten the American people" even as he and Democrats said they see a possibility for bipartisan cooperation on job creation legislation.

It seems to me that anytime somebody disagrees with the President they have evil intensions according to...the White House. There is no way anyone could have a legitimate disagreement or a valid point that is contrary to Obama's. If you disagree with an Obama revelation you will get a either the arrogant condescension of "You just don't get it you poor ignorant person." or the instant over polarized "If you are against our Jobs bill you must WANT people to be unemployed so you can take advantage of them!"


The Obama Political Machine is so very obvious at this point:

1. Claim a mandate on the issue since you mentioned it when running for office.
2. Use "crisis" at least 10 times any time you speak to the media.
3. Label anyone who asks for clarification on potential problems with your solution as evil or ignorant (or both).
4. Give well read speeches saying things like, "Let me be clear", "The time is now", and "bipartisan", while spinning the issue, wasting time with lots of meetings that exclude those (evil or ignorant) Republicans.
5. Blitz the morning shows talking about "Don't let those Republicans scare you, we are getting it done." (except for FoxNews...they are evil and ignorant...not "real news").
6. Claim this is our only chance to tackle this issue for a generation (we may never make this offer again....CALL NOW!).
7. Claim to have fixed some problem that you blame on the Bush administration (whether you actually did or not).
8. Have a town hall meeting and solve a personal crisis for a person in the audience using the power of the president.
9. Have a beer summit.
10. Take a vacation after the legislation has passed and don't sign it until you are good and ready.
    

It looks like Hope and Change were code words for Fear and Manipulation. If this administration wants to stop the American people from being afraid they should start with themselves.
