Of course, THAT was entirely proper.

Considering how easy it is for Barack Obama to whine about anything involving pushback to his agenda, one can only imagine how much he’d be bitching if a foreign entity came to the United States in 2012 to help facilitate HIS defeat. Then again, we’re way past redundant when it comes to the hypocrisy oozing from this administration.

It wasn’t just Israel’s left-wing parties that lost big as part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dramatic victory yesterday. Team Obama, which pulled as many strings as it could to defeat Netanyahu, was embarrassed. It had dispatched Jeremy Bird, the architect of the grass-roots and online organizing efforts behind both of Obama’s presidential campaign, to Israel to work the same magic there with a group called Victory 15.

The possibly illegal meddling was flagged early on, resulting in the typical petulant, Obama-style mocking response.

V15 denied the charges, and said that “the Netanyahus and Likud gathered so many recycled bottles that they are convinced that they will be able to make imaginary genies come out of them… V15 activists will continue to capture the junctions and the street, while they continue to recycle and hallucinate.”
— Times of Israel, 2/1/15

Obama and his minions are really good at gloating when they win but are seldom gracious in defeat.

Among the most disappointed with the results of Tuesday’s elections are the activists of the V15 group – the organization that may or may not have been funded by American and European interests, but whose aim was to remove Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu from office. “A confusing night turned into a painful morning,” the group said in a statement. “It was painful not because we lost, but because we have no faith in the winners.”
— Israel National News, 3/18/15

We know the feeling.

As in anything involving the Obama administration, there are now questions as to the legality of what Victory 15 did, let alone the propriety.

A US Senate investigatory committee has launched a probe into an American nonprofit’s funding of efforts to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the State Department of US President Barack Obama gave the nonprofit taxpayer-funded grants, Fox News reported on Saturday. According to the source, the probe is looking into “funding” by the OneVoice Movement – a Washington-based group that has received $350,000 in recent State Department grants, Fox News reported.

So, of course, those possible improprieties can quickly be mended when you have the power of the top office behind you….

The American nonprofit OneVoice Movement – under scrutiny by a U.S. Senate panel over possible links to a campaign to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – quietly filed paperwork that would allow it to engage in political activism after two leading Republican lawmakers questioned its use of government funds, FoxNews.com has learned.
— Fox News, 3/18/15

Like many other issues that have gone unanswered, it will probably take years after the anticipated departure of Obama and his cronies before we know just how many State Department (taxpayer) dollars went into the attempt to unseat yet another foreign leader.

Obama also had boots on the ground during elections in Great Britain where his guys profited off of both sides.

British Prime Minister David Cameron kept hold of power and was moving to form a new government. In the wings, American political guru Jim Messina was adding another to his long list of wins.

Messina, a top aide to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and the chief of his 2012 re-election bid, joined Cameron’s Conservative Party as a paid consultant in 2013 and worked to export the latest innovations in American-style campaigning to the U.K. The former White House deputy chief of staff drew fire from U.S. liberals for joining up with Cameron.

A pair of Obama veterans, meanwhile, was recovering from rival Labour’s loss. Former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod and advertising maven Larry Grisolano had worked for Ed Miliband’s Labour Party, which suffered deep losses. Miliband resigned from his post as party leader and the Americans were heading back across the pond in defeat.

Obama has taken it upon himself (and his superior intellect) to meddle with American lives just because he could, but just because he can also keep his loyalists fat and happy, doesn’t mean they’re consistently good at it.

Messina has agreed to a consulting job in Berlin: He wants to help the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) beat Chancellor Angela Merkel of the conservative Christian Democrats in the next national election in 2017.

This Saturday, Messina will make his first appearance in this new capacity. The SPD plans to introduce their new helper for the first time at the so-called “Campaign Camp” in the Schöneberger Gasometer in Berlin. He will report on the newest trends in campaign work: data analysis, addressing voters and online communication.
— Der Spiegel, 9/4/15

It doesn’t matter where.

The premier relies on the American communication guru for the referendum campaign. The triumphs with Obama and Cameron, the 400 thousand euros of the parcel, the McDonald’s, the psychologist wife, the fast cars, the big data and the door-to-door: this is the “Mr. Wolf” who will try to convince Italy to say Yup.

“You are Matteo, right? I’m Jim Messina, I solve problems.” The first meeting between Prime Minister Renzi and the American guru of communication is good to imagine him so, on the threshold of the house, in full Tarantino style.
— Vanity Fair Italia, 10/7/16

But they travelled well.

Mr Messina has been a paid consultant to three disastrous electoral forays: David Cameron’s campaign for the UK to remain in the EU, Matteo Renzi’s Italian constitutional reform effort, and Theresa May’s Conservative general election campaign.

Unlike the private sector where results determine success, politics pays their fat-and-happy losers well.

His company, the Messina Group, was paid £276,000 by the Remain campaign, and a reported €400,000 for its Italian work. It is not clear how much Mr Messina was paid for his most recent work for the Tories.

The Messina Group declined to comment. Last year it did also work for Spain’s Popular party in its successful campaign. It was paid a reported €290,000 for its work in that election, which took place days after the EU referendum. Mr Messina, a 47-year-old former US Senate staff member, also showed misplaced confidence ahead of last year’s US presidential election.

“Dear panicking Dems, she will win,” he tweeted in September 2016, seven weeks before Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. He also accused Mr Trump of running the “most incompetent [general election] campaign in history.”
— Financial Times, 6/12/17

So while the Democrat left pontificates about the horrors of foreigners meddling in our elections, take a good look at some of Barack Obama’s most trusted campaign lieutenants who are making really good money on foreign soil, working to elect politicians sympathetic to the so-called progressive agenda; not necessarily what’s best for the United States.

The Ballot Becomes The Race Card

Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama had the same campaign guru: David Axelrod.

Using white liberal guilt to his political advantage, Axelrod created candidates that were immune from the normal political vetting process, as any attempt to do such would be called veiled racism.

With that, they ran with vague slogans that touched at progressive heartstrings, and they did. Patrick’s “Together We Can” worked so Obama’s “Yes We Can” slogan again offered what the beholder thought he or she wanted, without the nasty details.

Again hiding behind the race smear, virtually no one pestered the candidates for details of what they planned on doing once in office. Patrick and Obama were allowed to say whatever they wanted to make the voters feel better about making history. The beauty of this strategy was that any opposition to these candidates had the typical racially correct response in the waiting.

With Patrick’s victory, Axelrod found his template and with Barack Obama, took it national.

The Non-Threatening Black

Granted, it’s neither of their fault, but liberals really prefer halfrican Americans. If you think that’s an over-the-top assertion, take a look at all of the so-called pretty people Hollywood celebrates. A vast majority of the “black” female singers and actresses are light-skinned. With the exception of gangsta’ rappers and hip-hop thugs, a good number of black males in entertainment aren’t dark.

This is not a true reflection of the preferences of the American people, but of the liberal racists who “discover” the new talent. Take a look at President Obama’s inner circle and with some exceptions, almost all are light-skinned black people; a trait someone must consider more visually acceptable to the American people.

Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama are light-skinned. When choosing clients, that had to have weighed in on Axelrod’s decision: how to use race politics that will be the least offensive. Despite all the civil rights gains over the decades, there are still people who’d never vote for a black man, but if he weren’t so black…?

So by finding black candidates that spoke proper English and weren’t “threatening”, we had two candidates for high office that could be embraced by the mainstream while still maintaining the fear of a race label on those who would oppose.

History In The Making

Both Obama and Patrick had something going for them that few enjoy in their whole political career: historic firsts.

As potential historical pics, this would also be used to their advantage. Think about it: voting against Barack Obama and Deval Patrick could be seen as voting against progress and sticking with the horrors of America’s past. Voting against Barack Obama and Deval Patrick would be seen as backward thinking and worse, you’re a racist.

Media criticism during their campaigns was like watching someone walking over glowing coals. Each step was painful, but the anticipation of the next step was worse.

Deval Patrick was dogged by an issue during the campaign about his unapologetic advocacy of a convicted black rapist. The perp was black, the victim was white. Now if all the parties were white and the candidate were a Republican or Democrat, we all know how this would’ve ended up. But because two of the three involved were black, the media simply reported the issue, made no assertions, few follow-ups, and it went away because to push it…? Well, you know what that would’ve been called.

Barack Obama had his share of controversies, the thickest of which was that surrounding the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s rather racist statements from the pulpit.

Because of the instinctive racial recoil, we were actually told to believe that Obama went to Wright’s church for twenty years and just happened to take selective Sundays off when Jeremiah went off. And leave-it-be the media basically did. Now, if John McCain or Sarah Palin’s pastor said “goddamn America”, that could have been a disqualifier, but as we were talking about a candidate that had to be treated with sensitivity, “goddamn America” was intellectually justified by the left and their media.

Inexperience Excused

The normal criteria for being a chief executive and/or Commander in Chief, is someone who had to have the prerequisite experience. Normally governors are people who’ve held statewide office and whose track record was an open book. Normally presidents are people who’ve held executive private or public sector positions, had managed over legislative battles, and had the scars to prove it.

Neither Barack Obama or Deval Patrick had such experience, which is why I’ve called them both affirmative action hires and will continue to do so, as they both fit that make-up-for-history criteria.

Prior to becoming the governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick had NO elective office experience. Besides previously being an attorney and businessman, Patrick was a United States Assistant Attorney General under President Bill Clinton. Not to outright demean the value of such experience, but most gubernatorial candidates at least have had some election victories in the state they wish to lead. But where Affirmative Action applies, direct experience doesn’t matter. An opportunity for racial justice does.

We’ve all seen and heard about John McCain for decades. Who even knew Barack Obama existed two years ago, and who would’ve ever thought an unknown community organizer from Chicago would ever be president? If someone in Vegas can look into what the odds were when Obama first announced, I’d love to know. Can you imagine what a $50 bet on those odds would have paid off on November 4, 2008?

From what we know, Barack Obama was not the talented, skilled candidate we’ve all be told he is. Apparently, he used technicalities to have seasoned opponents removed from the ballot, whupped a principles-challenged, carpetbagging Republican Alan Keyes for the US Senate race, and after not even showing a molecule of humility in gaining some relevant Capitol Hill experience (basically a short-term party yes man), Barack Obama decided it was HIS time and made his move on the presidency.

Again, having white liberal guilt as his trump card, the only experience either of these candidates needed was that of oppressed minorities that lived in a world few in the mainstream could ever understand, or dare question.

That’s all they needed.

Humility-Challenged

Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama came into their respective offices with trumped up “mandates”. It was a glorious time of change and hope and together we can, and that’s all that mattered. We were all told to sit down, shut up, and give these men a chance to make things right.

Deval Patrick’s newfound power almost immediately went to his head.

His initial state budget-busting with a Democrat legislative supermajority wasn’t helped with his overspending on his office makeover. I mean, c’mon. What self-respecting black man spends $12,000 on drapes?

Deval Patrick did, as well as ditching the traditional Crown Victoria ride for the stereotypical, way more expensive Cadillac. Obviously as the first black governor, “Coupe Deval” believed he was entitled to these (and many other) perks of power, while lacking the humility to see how others not as fortunate viewed his excesses.

Barack Obama didn’t even wait for his election to declare “this is the moment, as Nancy (Pelosi) noted, that the world is waiting for.” While his personal gains weren’t as pronounced, his hubris has been duly noted.

His numerous Executive Order overturns of Bush Administration policy was a clear illustration of his disdain for what many of us consider respect of the previous occupants. But as his short term continued, he found himself continuing those liberally-hated policies because there was wisdom Candidate Obama wasn’t privy to during the campaign. Obama’s youthful arrogance continues to play out on a daily basis as he takes every opportunity to blame the former administration for the tough decisions he has to make, his penchant for talking down to the American children he leads, while taking credit for having the smarts to stay the course, even though by doing so he’s continuing where Bush left off.

Deval Patrick was essentially reigned in by the embedded Massachusetts Democrat machine. Barack Obama has been a bull-in-the-china-shop when it comes to his “transforming America” promise. The long term problem for Obama is that the people aren’t digging what he’s turning America into.

Despite the use of the race card to get him elected, would anyone of us believe that in less than four months the Obama Administration would be taking over banks, dictating how automakers would make product, changing Cuba policy, and getting away with foreign etiquette gaffes expected of George W. Bush?

Of course not, and if Barack Obama ran on that, even with RINO McCain as his weak opposition, he’d never have gotten elected.

The Future Is Not Bright

A recent Rasmussen Poll shows that there is a very strong possibility that Deval Patrick will be a one-term governor. Note his using any and every opportunity to be seen with fellow Chicago homie Barack Obama in D.C.

Patrick repeatedly says he’s not interested in accepting a cabinet position in the Obama Administration, but as of November 2010, he may find himself out of work like the rest of us.

President Obama could face a similar fate in 2012.

In four months, Barack Obama has done more damage to the nation we once called The United States of America than any president we’ve been alive to witness. Imagine how bad things may get next month, let alone next year, and the American people will soon tire of his “I inherited this” excuse.

And despite all the hype, I don’t believe Barack Obama is this outstanding orator and politician.

Barack Obama is a good reader but as evidenced by his tendency to um and ahh when off prompter, we can be justified in questioning his intelligence as we really don’t know who’s writing the glowing passages he reads. Just what would the media and the left be saying about George W. Bush if he had to read answers in a press conference off a teleprompter, and everyone would be speculating who was scripting him.

Deval Patrick may be the first and last black governor Massachusetts sees for a long time. Barack Obama may also be the first and last black president as well.

Let me take that back.

The next black person who runs for those seats, if they have any hope of winning, will be Republicans, because memories of those who broke ground before them will be an open wound. Barack Obama and Deval Patrick will quickly become stereotyped adjectives, and we all know most stereotypes have a basis in truth.
