The propaganda campaign coming from the White House since the passing of the Obamanation known as the Healthcare Reform Bill, err, The Health Insurance Reform Bill, err, The Healthcare Reform Bill, is that anyone who disagrees with it or anything that The Magnificent One, Barack Hussein Obama, (affectionately known as “Scooter”) does, is RAAACIIIST. This includes Seasoned Citizens and Average Americans (as well as people of color, too, I guess) attending Tea Parties, Townhalls, blogging on the internet, speaking on radio or television, or talking to their neighbors.
According to a teleprompter’s best friend:
“I do think that there is a tone and tenor — that needs to change, where we can disagree without being disagreeable or making wild accusations about the other side. And I think that’s what most Americans would like to see, as well.” – President Barack Hussein Obama from an interview shot in The Sanctuary of The Holy Baskeball Court with Harry Smith of CBS News April 1, 2010.
You mean like this, Scooter? Per Fox4kc.com:
“KANSAS CITY, MO April 1, 2010 – U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver voted in favor of the controversial health care reform bill, but talk isn’t raging about how voted, but whether or not he was purposely spit on as he and other congressmen made their way to the U.S. Capitol building to cast their vote.
In video of the incident, a man is seen with his hands around his mouth and yelling at the Kansas City, Missouri, Democrat as he walked by. The footage shows Rep. Cleaver reacting to the man, and is seen a few seconds later wiping his face.
The video is not clear as to whether or not the man spit in Cleaver’s face intentionally, or if it was a matter of “say it, don’t spray it.” Rep. Cleaver never commented on the incident, but it didn’t take long before many people claimed that he was spit upon.
In an interview on Tuesday with FOX 4 News, Rep. Cleaver would not directly answer the question of whether or not he was intentionally spit upon.
“I haven’t talked about this incident on TV or anywhere, and I’ve been approached to talk about it on every national TV show,” said Rep. Cleaver in an interview with FOX 4 News. “I never, I never reported anything, never a single thing in Washington, not one thing. People assume I went somewhere, never done press conference, never done an interview on it and I’m not going to do it.”
Rep. Cleaver’s refusal to discuss the incident has not stopped the speculation, including claims that the incident never happened, or that the story was manufactured to discredit conservatives who demonstrated against health care reform.
Rep. Cleaver says that he wants to put the incident behind him.
“All I’m saying is we all have to defuse it, and I think it is not in my best interest or in the best interest of this nation to stoke it,” said Rep. Cleaver. “I’ve avoided doing and I will continue to do it.”
After that bunch of liars and thieves up in The Beltway passed The Obamanation, their sycophantic pundits starting spreading the word that the American people were going to love this Government takeover of 1/6th of our economy, and President Obama’s popularity was going to soar to new heights. Not quite. There was an initial bump. But it turned out to be our Titanic Ship of State hitting an iceberg.
Per CBSNews.com:
“Last week, President Obama signed historic health care reform legislation into law — but his legislative success doesn’t seem to have helped his image with the American public.
The latest CBS News Poll, conducted between March 29 and April 1, found Americans unhappier than ever with Mr. Obama’s handling of health care – and still worried about the state of the economy.
President Obama’s overall job approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 44 percent, down five points from late March, just before the health bill’s passage in the House of Representatives. It’s down 24 points since his all-time high last April. Forty-one percent of those polled said they disapproved of the president’s performance.
When it comes to health care, the President’s approval rating is even lower — and is also a new all-time low. Only 34 percent approved, while 55 percent said they disapproved.
Americans are still worried about the economy, with 84 percent telling CBS they thought it was still in bad condition.”
So, how have these astute political pundits, the Cable News Networks who were complicit in the ascension of The Magnificent One and the passage of The Obamanation, fared in their quest for viewers?
Per DrudgeReport.com:

It does not look like they are faring too well, does it? Even Fox News’ version of a Liberal Newscaster, Tupelo, Mississippi’s own Shepherd Smith, is almost doubling the sycophantic, bellicose Keith Olbermann. And, please try not to laugh out loud at Joy Behar’s numbers. She’s sensitive, you know. (Yeah, and I’m a 22 year old Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader named Buffy.)
The bottom line is this. The American people are angry. A bill that the vast majority did not want, has been passed into law against their will. And now they are being spoken to like children, told that they have to accept this Obamanation and like it, like you speak to a child swallowing a bitter pill. They are further being told that, if they don’t accept this benevolent dictatorship, that they are ignorant and racist. As we say in Dixie, that dog don’t hunt. The vast majority of Americans love their country. They were raised to value individual freedom. And they truly believe the words that President Ronald Reagan said to them all those years ago: “The nine words you never want to hear are, I’m from The Government and I’m here to help.”
So, Scooter, Nancy, Harry, and all you super-geniuses up in the Beltway, you’ve pushed your Alinskymobile pedal all the way to the floor and you’re going to be pulled over to the side of the road by the American people in November. I hope you’ve got your Driver’s License and Proof of Insurance handy. And, by the way, be ready for a Breathalyzer Test. Because it appears to the American people that you are drunk with power.
