President Obama thanked the group that used to be his reelection campaign, Organizing for Action, in an event held last night in Washington.
“The work you are doing is God’s work,” Obama told supporters.
Per David Horowitz’s discoverthenetworks.org,
Organizing for America [now “Action”] (OFA) is a project of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The American public first heard about OFA on January 17, 2009, when President Barack Obama announced that the organization would soon open its doors for business. Two months later, in mid-March, OFA was officially launched.
Basing its operations on the third floor of the DNC’s Capitol Hill headquarters, OFA consists of a vast network of volunteers whose mission is to “let their friends and neighbors know about the President’s plan to invest in America’s future, improve health care and education, create green jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and cut the deficit in half over the next four years.”
A New York Times report describes OFA as “an army of [Obama] supporters talking, sending e-mail and texting to friends and neighbors as they try to mold public opinion.”
OFA is an outgrowth of “Obama For America,” the network of Obama supporters who went door-to-door urging voters to back the Illinois senator in the 2008 presidential race. Shortly after election day in November of that year, Obama For America’s organizers met in Chicago and voiced their desire to keep their operation active in some form, even though the presidential campaign was over. Their wishes were subsequently echoed by Obama For America’s enthusiastic foot soldiers, who in December 2008 held some 4,800 house meetings nationwide to rally support for such a venture. Moreover, 500,000 Obama supporters completed a survey wherein they, too, expressed a wish to continue their organization’s work. Out of those roots, OFA was formed.
Another factor that motivated the Obama administration to create OFA was the fact that after the new President had taken his oath of office, his White House was, by law, barred from using (for subsequent political purposes) the 13-million-name e-mail list of supporters it had compiled during the 2008 presidential race. Thus the administration established OFA within the structure of the Democratic Party, which was not bound by such restrictions; OFA is free to use the aforementioned list as it pleases. Nor is OFA subject to IRS nonprofit regulations, because it has no independent legal status outside the DNC.
“God’s work”? Hardly. OFA carries out the work of sinful, corrupt men, including President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mm mmmm).
Although, Obama’s Messianic Complex is the stuff of legend.
In August of 2008, in St. Paul, Minnesota, while delivering his acceptance speech, after receiving the Nomination to become the Democrat Presidential Candidate, Obama said,
America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.
The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
On February 19, 2008, Columnist Sally Quinn wrote the following in her feature “On Faith” in The Washington Post:
Is Obama the Messiah? People are asking these days and it’s not so hard to understand why: the desperate throngs, the tears, the great awakening of a slumbering demographic. All that larger symbolism.
The emotional landscape of many American voters is calamitous of late — frightened by our Babylonian war, unhappy with our President and depressed by the cleansing crush of the credit crunch — so it’s not surprising that the coming presidential election would take on a certain biblical coloring.
The Messiah question is a loud one coming from all corners. Even a blogger for Mother Jones, the hot heart of the far left, worries that the Obama-passion will be used for nefarious purposes by right-wingers, he himself writes “Barack Obama has a messiah complex and no one will convince me otherwise.”
The salty 62-year old Chris Matthews of MSNBC puts the phenomenon of Obama on the good book scale, telling the NY Observer that “I’ve been following politics since I was about 5. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is bigger than Kennedy. [Obama] comes along, and he seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament. This is surprising.”
Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan proclaimed Obama as”The Messiah”. Addressing a large crowd behind a podium Feb. 24 with a Nation of Islam Saviours’ Day 2008 sign, Farrakhan said:
You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.
Barack Hussein Obama is a god? a messiah? Hardly.
When Christian Conservatives have brought up Obama’s Messianic Complex in the past, we have been called narrow-minded raaaciiists, ignorant rednecks, or simply out of touch. Now, following over 5 years of Obama running the greatest nation on the face of the Earth straight into the ground, more and more Americans of every faith and political ideology seem to finally be coming to the painful realization that President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) ain’t all that and a bag of chips.
Obama, by declaring that his sycophants, through their support of his skirting of the Constitution, suppression of states’ rights, alienation of American Christians, and unflagging support of abortion, amnesty, marijuana legalization, and gay “marriage”, are somehow doing “God’s Work”, has shown his total misunderstanding of the God of Abraham, the Creator, whom our Founding Fathers, who Obama erroneously compares himself to, gave a preeminent position to in our Founding Documents.
And, that is why he, and his worshipers at OFA, fail.
“God’s work?”
The Devil you say.
Until He Comes,
