				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Two-Faced-Barack-Obama-72831.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-235805" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Two-Faced-Barack-Obama-72831-319x350.jpg" alt="Two-Faced-Barack-Obama--72831" width="319" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t hold Barack Obama responsible for what Barack Obama says. Or maybe there is no Barack Obama and Nixon&#8217;s fourth term is <a href="http://redalertpolitics.com/2014/07/07/white-house-obama-might-know-hes-tweeting/">really going better than expected</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>During Monday’s White House press briefing, spokesman Josh Earnest explained that he is unaware of whether or not President Obama reads the tweets that are posted from his verified Twitter account.</p>
<p>“The @BarackObama Twitter handle is maintained by OFA [Organizing For Action], that is the political organization that was the offshoot of the campaign,” Earnest told Jonathan Karl of ABC News, who asked whether the president reads or approves his tweets. “And that is a Twitter handle that is maintained independent of the White House.”</p></blockquote>
<p>So no, Barack Obama has no idea what @BarackObama is tweeting and he may or may not agree with it because it supposedly runs independently, even though it&#8217;s his campaign. Or rather a SuperPAC funded by wealthy donors and spun off from his campaign.</p>
<p>So there&#8217;s Barack Obama, the White House occupant.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s also Barack Obama, the brand, who is owned by OFA, which is just the Obama campaign.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not always clear which Obama is Obamaing it up, especially when he&#8217;s flying to fundraise using Air Force One, but we shouldn&#8217;t ask about that because then @BarackObama might call us racist, which Barack Obama might or might not disagree with&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; because he has no idea what his Twitter account is doing.</p>
<p>Also he has no idea what happened with the VA, Benghazi or ObamaCare. That was the other Barack Obama who was doing all that stuff.</p>
<p>The Obama who sneaks in at night, ruins ObamaCare, takes gobs of money from dubious donors, bails out their companies and unilaterally starts wars&#8230; before the &#8216;good&#8221; Obama who knows nothing about it wakes up.</p>

		<title>Obama Super PAC to Exploit Newtown Kids with Fake Memorial Events</title>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/newtown-kids.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-212272" alt="newtown-kids" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/newtown-kids-450x340.jpg" width="450" height="340" /></a></p>
<p>This is <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2013/12/02/sickening-ofa-instructs-followers-to-hold-newtown-anniversary-events-to-exploit-tragedy-for-gun-control/">how you can tell you&#8217;re dealing with people who</a> have no conscience and no shame. Obama&#8217;s very own Super PAC, the absolutely totally non-partisan Organizing for Action is planning to put together fake memorials for the Newtown kids.</p>
<p>But the &#8220;remembrance&#8221; ceremonies won&#8217;t be about actually remembering the victims&#8230; but about using them to campaign against the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.</p>
<blockquote><p>By hosting a Newtown Anniversary event, you are joining thousands of Americans across the country as we remember the tragic events that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School one year ago. Supporters will be gathering at events in communities across the country, with partner organizations, to pay tribute to the 26 victims and call on Congress to finally take action to make our communities safer.</p>
<p>It has been one year since the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, where 26 Americans lost their lives to gun violence. Despite overwhelming public support for expanding background checks for gun sales, Congress has failed to act. Join local supporters as we remember Newtown and ask Congress: What will it take to make our communities safer? #WeAreNewtown</p></blockquote>
<p>And what better way to pay tribute to some dead children than by using them as poster children in your preexisting pet cause. And if you trick some civilians into joining in what they think is a memorial, you really score big.</p>
<p>The first time I saw the left really roll out its fake memorial sideshows was right after September 11. And I do mean right after.</p>
<p>Suddenly there were numerous memorial events that were really there to push Anti-War messages and blame American foreign policy for the attacks. It was another hard and direct lesson in the left&#8217;s utter cynicism and disdain for anything resembling decency.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the president's loss will be transformed into Hillary's gain. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DNCObama.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-211668" alt="DNCObama" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/DNCObama-450x302.jpg" width="270" height="181" /></a>When Obama decided to turn his campaign into a permanent Super PAC, he was stabbing the Democratic Party in the back. But he was doing it to them before they did it to him.</p>
<p>Organizing for America gave him an independent source of power and influence at the expense of the Democratic Party. Obama was carelessly draining money and energy out of his own party because whatever common interests he had with a political party, that for all its leftward swing was still too conservative for his taste, were about to be fractured during his second term.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party might have been satisfied if he had retained his 2008 halo in 2015. But that was never going to happen. No matter how much the media slobbers over a politician, the voting public, at least those parts of it that don&#8217;t have Hope posters and Obama holograms hanging on their walls, eventually needs a break and someone to blame.</p>
<p>Even vice presidents turn on their own presidents once they begin running for office. Gore tried running as the antithesis of Bill Clinton at a time when everyone had grown sick of him and his scandals. Gore was just a less successful and even more hypocritical version of Bill Clinton; but the Democratic Party tried to build him an image as a stiff and serious fellow who spent a lot of time deep in thought and might be awkward at parties; but wouldn&#8217;t cheat on the entire country.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party already has an Anti-Obama in waiting. Hillary claims to be experienced where Obama was inexperienced and savvier about the practical details of getting things done.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Ready for Hillary&#8221; image is as phony as Gore&#8217;s serious ethical look; but it&#8217;s also a shot across Obama&#8217;s bow telling him that he’s going under the bus before the next election. With OFA, Obama, whose allegiance has always been to the left, not to anything as reactionary as an American political party, decided to throw them under the bus first.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s biggest asset is still the media, but there&#8217;s a reason he never trusted his biggest fans, locked them up in closets, avoided conferences and even set up his own photographers.</p>
<p>He knew that the time would come when the media would turn on him. When the halo photos would make way for pictures that make him look old and tired. When the same columnists who were talking him up as the great hope of the nation would turn to writing pieces about how he failed and why Hillary is the right woman to take his place.</p>
<p>The media won&#8217;t step forward to destroy Obama. But they will pile on him once it helps Hillary.</p>
<p>The ObamaCare crisis killed any hope of an enduring truce with the Democratic Party. Obama has been politically weakened now and there’s blood in the water.</p>
<p>ObamaCare has shown that the Prince of Chicago is mortal and that like all politicians he will fall. He will not remain an undying JFK stepping forward into the pages of history. Instead he will be shoved aside to make way for a successor while the men and women who once lionized him shake their heads.</p>
<p>In time he will emerge again, the way that Carter and Clinton have, as an elder statesman. But not in 2016.</p>
<p>The split between the Democratic Party and its leftist hijackers was always bound to happen. The interests that aligned them were nakedly political. The left wanted to push its agenda through and the Democrats would have adopted any tactic to win. The Democratic Party is ready to move on; but the left isn&#8217;t done pushing through its agenda.</p>
<p>The collapse of ObamaCare may be a disaster for the Democratic Party in the short term; but it&#8217;s also an opportunity in the long term.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not much else that Hillary Clinton can run on in 2016 except health care. Foreign policy interest among Americans is at an all time low which takes her time as Secretary of State off the table. That just leaves the economy; an unpredictable topic to build an election campaign around for a race years into the future.</p>
<p>The rebirth of HillaryCare demands the destruction of ObamaCare. For Hillary to be able to return to her core issue in 2016; she has to take away Obama&#8217;s biggest legislative achievement. The problems with ObamaCare may be a nuclear bomb for the Democrats in 2014; but a gift-wrapped package for Hillary in 2016.</p>
<p>If Obama were a team player, he might grit his teeth and take one for the team. But he isn&#8217;t. OFA was just the latest demonstration that he owes no allegiance to the Democratic Party and that the awkward marriage of Chicago community organizers, lefty billionaires and the turgid ranks of the Democratic Party swollen with living fossils like Harry Reid was bound to end sometime.</p>
<p>The big dream of Republican campaign professionals is to force the Democrats into the same circular firing squad that its own party keeps collapsing into. That hasn&#8217;t happened yet, but there are signs that a stampede may be building.</p>
<p>The Democrats swallowed their losses in 2010 instead of turning on ObamaCare because they still had the Senate and the White House. If they lose the Senate, suddenly having a lame duck in the White House and a program that everyone hates at the top of the news hour won&#8217;t seem like such a bargain.</p>
<p>Obama knows all this and doesn&#8217;t care. He&#8217;s counting on the left to have his back while sacrificing the political fortunes of the Democratic Party for the sake of the progressive agenda. The Democrats might have held on to Congress, but Obama traded their political successes for his own success; weakening the Democratic Party while building his own image and power.</p>
<p>Now the Democratic Party is beginning to bite back. If it&#8217;s going to get into shape for 2014 and 2016, it has to claw back donors from OFA and turn the ObamaCare problems into a HillaryCare opportunity. And that is going to mean an ugly political civil war with the left turning on the Democratic Party and the media caught in the middle.</p>
<p>Obama carved up the Democratic Party for political spare parts. Now the Democratic Party is about to return the favor.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/t10773.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-206308" alt="t10773" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/t10773.gif" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>I guess he volunteered once again.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear whether anyone besides Chad Henderson managed to actually sign up for ObamaCare. But it&#8217;s not implausible.</p>
<p>Entire states are reporting that no one signed up for ObamaCare and the media is obsessively covering Chad Henderson successfully signing up for ObamaCare. If Chad Henderson was one of 5 million or even 500,000 people, that wouldn&#8217;t be the case.</p>
<p>So we&#8217;ve got a hideously expensive, disastrous and illegal program all for the benefit of Chad Henderson. And <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2013/10/04/what-a-coincidence-single-obamacare-success-story-is-ofa-volunteer/">how did Chad Henderson manage</a> to accomplish what even MSNBC couldn&#8217;t?</p>
<p>Well Chad Henderson was a volunteer at Obama&#8217;s SuperPAC, OFA or Organizing for America. And that&#8217;s not surprising.</p>
<p>ObamaCare depends entirely on tricking twenty something males into signing up for it. If they don&#8217;t show up as sacrifices to the insurance companies, then the whole thing collapses.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very likely that this bout of astroturfing was carefully planned right down to the demographics. Chad Henderson fits those demos perfectly. He&#8217;s being covered by the press, not because it picked him out of a crowd, but because there were OFA publicists working behind the scenes to feed the story to the media.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s doubtful that Chad Henderson had to work through a buggy website. He&#8217;s there to sell people his age on the myth that they&#8217;ll save money and get good healthcare by going through ObamaCare. Everything else was taken care of.</p>
<p>UPDATE: According to Dad, <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2013/10/04/father-of-obamacare-success-story-chad-henderson-says-his-son-didnt-sign-up-for-obamacare/">he didn&#8217;t even actually enrol</a>l.</p>
<p>Someone decided to actually live out the SNL Cold Open on ObamaCare.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bill Henderson told me that both he and his son were interested in getting coverage, but that they had not enrolled in any plan yet, and to his knowledge, neither had his son. He also said that when they do enroll, getting the most coverage for the least money would be the goal, and that he expects that he and his son will get coverage under the same plan.</p>
<p>Bill told me that Chad had been looking into plans online. “He told me that there’s different plans. And we haven’t decided which plans to enroll in yet.”</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[ The eternal campaign is not only being used to target Republicans, but it's even being used to perpetrate "Night of the Long Knives" purges within his own party.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/obama-monster.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186460" alt="obama monster" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/obama-monster.jpg" width="374" height="376" /></a></p>
<p>The clash between Democratic Party supporters and opponents of the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights is turning into a civil war as <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-pro-obama-group-democrats-guns-20130418,0,6534079.story">the Obama Campaign is preparing to target Democratic Senators </a>who support the Second Amendment.</p>
<p>Obama sending out his political hit squad after Senators from his own party who dissented from him on one bill is creepy. The eternal campaign is not only being used to target Republicans, but it&#8217;s even being used to perpetrate &#8220;Night of the Long Knives&#8221; purges within his own party.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party is being radicalized by the far left. It&#8217;s hard to imagine that moderate Democrats like Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Senator Henry Jackson would have a place in a Democratic Party so radicalized that it is not only unable to tolerate moderate senators in New York or Washington, but that it can&#8217;t even tolerate them in red states where they are the only alternative to Republican senators.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jon Carson, executive director of Organizing for Action, told the Los Angeles Times / Tribune Washington Bureau on Thursday that the group will train its resources against the 45 senators who opposed the legislation, including Democrats Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.</p>
<p>“This is one of those moments where we have to prove that in the face of a setback we’re not backing down,” he added. “That’s the calculation that some senators were mistaken on&#8230;. The consequences they’re going to have to face are a bunch of angry constituents who are going to keep the issue alive.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Carson is hiding behind terms like &#8220;Constituents&#8221;, but Organizing for Action is the Obama campaign transformed into a SuperPAC and <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/obamas-non-partisan-campaign-selling-access-to-obama-for-500000/">funded with special access for big donors to Obama</a>. Their constituents are Obama officials and anyone willing to donate $500,000.</p>
<blockquote><p>The response from Democratic senators that OFA plans to target was muted.</p>
<p>“Max’s job is to represent Montanans, so the only thing that influences his decisions is what is right for Montana,” said Baucus spokeswoman Jennifer Donohue.</p>
<p>The president’s move to preserve a power base outside of the Democratic National Committee triggered no small amount of anxiety within the party, with some activists fearing Organizing for Action will pull needed resources and energy away from the official party committees.</p>
<p>Still, the group’s decision to pressure Democrats over their opposition to the background check measure could exacerbate tensions. Organizing for Action does not engage in electoral politics, but its attacks on the gun bill could put lawmakers on the defensive. Among the four who voted against the legislation, all but Heitkamp are up for reelection in 2014.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a further attempt at hijacking the Democratic Party and placing it under the total control of Obama operatives. This is the Imperial Presidency that the Democrats yammered about under Bush&#8230; in action.</p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of the popular and award-winning weblog <em>AtlasShrugs.com</em>.. She has won acclaim for her interviews with internationally renowned figures, including John Bolton, Geert Wilders, Bat Ye’or, Natan Sharansky, and many others, and has broken numerous important stories — notably the questionable sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign. Her op-eds have been published in <em>The Washington Times</em>, <em>The American Thinker</em>, <em>Israel National News</em>, <em>Frontpage Magazine</em>, <em>World Net Daily</em>, and <em>New Media Journal</em>, among other publications. She is the co-author (with Robert Spencer) of the soon to be released, <a title="http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/1439189307/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260121208&amp;sr=8-2" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Post-American-Presidency-Obama-Administrations-America/dp/1439189307/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260121208&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration&#8217;s War on America</a> (forward by Ambassador John Bolton).</p>

<p><strong>FP:</strong><strong> </strong>Pamela Geller, welcome back to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>I would like to talk to you today about Organizing for America (OFA), formerly Obama for America, and what it is doing in public schools. Tell us about it.</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Jamie, a reader of my website AtlasShrugs.com, Chuck, has a daughter in the eleventh grade in a public high school, Perry Local in Massillon, Ohio. The teacher in her government class passed out a propaganda recruiting paper – headed with Obama’s distinctive “O” logo — asking students to sign up as interns for Organizing for America. You can see the entire intern recruiting form at <a title="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/01/atlas-exclusive-obama-organizing-for-communism-and-youth-corps-in-the-public-school-1.html" rel="nofollow" href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/01/atlas-exclusive-obama-organizing-for-communism-and-youth-corps-in-the-public-school-1.html" target="_blank">AtlasShrugs.com</a>.</p>
<p>The form indicates yet again that Barack Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is recruiting in our high schools to<strong> </strong>“build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda” – that is, his agenda of socialism for the United States of America.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>So what would you say to the argument that this is just an internship program and that there’s nothing wrong with it?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Yes, Jamie, it is just an internship program, but what will these “interns” be force-fed? The mother’s milk of the left — anti-war agitation, anti-capitalism, Marx, Lenin, Ayers, LGBT agenda promotion, global warming, soft-on-jihad, and illegal immigration. For starters. Maybe “Ellie Light,” who has in the last few weeks published the same Letter to the Editor supporting and defending Obama in over a dozen newspapers across the country, can give lessons in astroturfing.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Provide some evidence.</p>
<p><strong>Geller: </strong>That’s easy.</p>
<p>The evidence for this is that the very form in question carries a recommended reading list, including <em>Rules for Radicals</em> by the notorious hard left community organizer and Obama mentor Saul Alinsky; two <em>Huffington Post</em> articles by Zack Exley, “The New Organizers” and “Obama Field Organizers Plot a Miracle.” The first of those, published in October 2008, enthuses about “an insurgent generation of organizers” inside the Obama campaign that has, “almost without anyone noticing … built the Progressive movement a brand new and potentially durable people’s organization, in a dozen states, rooted at the neighborhood level.”<strong> </strong></p>
<p>During the 2000 presidential campaign, Exley operated the website <a title="http://www.gwbush.com/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gwbush.com/" target="_blank">www.gwbush.com</a>, which was filled with lies about George W. Bush that were designed to kill his chance to become President. The site’s headline was “Just Say ‘No’ to a Former Cocaine User for President.”</p>
<p>Also included on the OFA internship recommended reading list are <em>Stir It Up: Lessons from Community Organizing and Advocacy</em> by the leftist activist Rinku Sen, and sections of Obama’s book <em>Dreams from My Father</em> dealing with his days as a community organizer in Chicago.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What do you think the point is of all this &#8220;community&#8221; organizing?<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> To elect more Democrats, of course. This internship program is geared towards the 2010 elections, using our kids as the Democrats’ goons. The internship form begins with a nakedly partisan and propagandistic appeal: “Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change. OFA is launching a national internship program connecting students all over the country with our organization on the ground – working to make the change we fought so hard for in 2008 a reality in 2010 and beyond.”</p>
<p>Jamie, can you imagine if the Republicans attempted such a stunt? Obama is using the public school system to help ensure Democratic victories in 2010, 2012, and thereafter.</p>
<p>This is incredible. And it’s profoundly wrong, to say the least. And it is no accident. Obama is poisoning our public school system. He acts as if it’s his own private recruiting farm.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>The Obama camp has done questionable things in public schools before, hasn’t it?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Yes, Jamie. In September 2009, all public school students were forced to listen to his creepy speech about working hard in school. During the campaign the Obama camp had “Kids for Obama Parades.” And public school teachers more than once were caught indoctrinating children into the Obama cult.. Remember the uniformed children chanting about how Obama had motivated them to succeed? P.J. Gladnick wrote about that video at <em>Newsbusters</em> in October 2008 that it was “reminiscent of North Korean kids chanting out their praises for the ‘Dear Leader.’” And don’t forget those many videos of public school kids singing brainwashed tunes of Obama praise.</p>
<p>Long before he was President, Obama’s camp had targeted children and started building a cult of adulation around their hero. The children’s book <em>Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope</em> by Nikki Grimes sets Obama up as a demigod: “Ever since Barack Obama was young, Hope has lived inside him. From the beaches of Hawaii to the streets of Chicago, from the jungles of Indonesia to the plains of Kenya, he has held on to Hope. Even as a boy, Barack knew he wasn’t quite like anybody else, but through his journeys he found the ability to listen to Hope and become what he was meant to be: a bridge to bring people together.”</p>
<p>And now once again our perverse public school system abandons academic standards and achievement, replacing them with radical leftist activism from leftwing Alinsky indoctrinators.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What can parents do about this?</p>
<p><strong>Geller:</strong> Be aware and proactive. Children must be advised to expose this propaganda. Children must tell their parents how they are being used and manipulated. Parents, warn your kids. Don’t let Barack Obama recruit his drones from your family.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Pamela Geller, thank you for joining us.</p>
