Video: Obama launches the permanent campaign
posted at 4:53 pm on January 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
You didn’t think he was going to disband the cult just because he’s president now, did you? Behold the launch of Hopenchange 2.0: Turning his grassroots organization from an operation to get him elected into an operation to pressure members of Congress to adopt his agenda. And by “members of Congress,” I don’t mean Republicans.
Organizers and even Republicans say the scope of this permanent campaign structure is unprecedented for a president. People familiar with the plan say Obama’s team would use the network in part to pressure lawmakers — particularly wavering Democrats — to help him pass complex legislation on the economy, healthcare and energy…
Though the plan still is emerging, one source with knowledge of the internal discussion said the organization could have an annual budget of $75 million in privately raised funds. Another said it would deploy hundreds of paid staff members — possibly one for every congressional district in certain politically important states and even more in larger battlegrounds such as Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Virginia and North Carolina…
Concerns about Obama’s ambitions are coming from state party leaders as well as from Capitol Hill.
“The party needs to be rooted not just around one individual, but it needs to have a grass-roots base that can survive the times and even endure past whoever may be in office,” said Jerry Meek, chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party. “Obama brings a lot to the table, but, on the other hand, state parties exist for more than serving the objectives of the president and are in the business to elect county commissioners, school board members and members of the legislature.”
What fascinates me is his faith that his supporters, almost all of whom are Democrats, can be counted on to side with him on policy against … other Democrats. There’s no reason in principle to believe that’s true — Obamites logically should prefer his position on economic recovery to McCain’s, but to Chris Dodd’s or Barney Frank’s? — but it’s perfectly sensible if you view Obamamania as a cult of personality with The One as the object in whom all trust is reposed. (See also.) He does a superb job of cultivating it too, from using the paparazzi to enhance his status as an icon to dumping one dopey Lincoln allusion after another on a media that’s itching to make the comparison. In theory it’s a bad idea to have a party “rooted around” one individual — but The One isn’t just any individual, or so we should believe. If Lincoln told you to dial up some Blue Dog Democrat and ask him to vote for another bailout, you’d do it, wouldn’t you? Well, there you go.

And the Republican response? The GOP can’t wait until 2010 or the 2012 primaries to get its act together otherwise Obama will be a two-termer.
January 21 isn’t soon enough.
Crux Australis on January 18, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Yes…. interesting…
Comparing Lincoln and Obama…
Lets see, just what did happen right after Lincoln was elected?

South Carolina did the right thing. And is doing so again by refusing a bailout. Thank you, Gov. Sanford!

The most intense cult of personality outside of Islam. Same rabid, mindless devotion to whatever it is that the borg tells them to do today. Ideology is not a factor, nor acknowledged in any way, although a certain kneejerk leftism is evident.

He spoke at a function that I attended in ’06. He was fantastic. Presidential material.
The US owes South Carolina and its rock star governor a debt of gratitude.
Thank you, Gov. Sanford!

katy on January 18, 2009 at 12:55 AM
One more example, if I will……………
…………. this little “credit crisis” we are.
I know the Democrats are trying to blame President Bush for everything under the sun, but let’s go back in history for a little while, and what is NOT being talked about anymore………
……………. the cause.
Mr. Carter, in his belief in “social engineering” started the “Community Reinvestment Act”. What was that? In an effort to provide “affordable housing”, the Federal Government sponsored, or better yet “financed”, the lending of loans to people who could not afford the payments to “own” homes.
Was anyone told the truth behind the “Act” by the media…… was anyone warned that twenty years later their savings, homes, and lively hood could be at risk….?
No………
During the Clinton years, the “Act” was given teeth under Janet Reno, forcing lending institutions to lend money to people that could not pay it back, under penalty if they refused to do so, but there was a catch……
……… We, the people of the United States, were signers to each bogus loan and worthless piece of paper.
Does anyone remember signing on to that? What it ever given to a vote? Did the “media” do it’s job?……… no.
Then, we have Freddy Mae and Fanny Mac, both bureaucratic state sponsored agencies to buy up the worthless paper to keep the banks from stopping the “social engineering”, keeping the program going, funding groups like ACORN and La Raza, and at the same time, selling the “worthless” paper to Wall Street……….. because how could you loose, the Government of the United States of America is backing the play.
…………….. then it explodes. “BOOM”.
And what do you get……..
PROPAGANA………. on steroids.
……….. we had fifteen seconds of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd only months ago telling us that nothing was wrong, ………. then nothing.
Next………….. “BAILOUT”
Remember……… our whole economy was going to collapse in the next forty-eight ours if we didn’t start throwing money at the problem.
No one was held accountable, no policy was stopped, no legislation that caused the problem in the first place was rescinded…….. it was ” Crisis, Crisis……… and Crisis”!
……….. since then, selected companies were “too big to fail”, and the spin just started.
Isn’t it something that the Democratic controlled legislature who actually wrote the “Bail Out Bill” was surprised that after giving the Secretary of the Treasury Trillions of dollars to spend, didn’t write in any oversight to tell the American people where the money would be spent just under a month before Mr. Obama would take the oath of office?
So where are we now……… everything is “Bush’s fault”, no accountability to the policies and politicians who caused this in the first place, and they are left in charge.
But, from the MSM, late night comics, TV sitcoms, movies, news papers, magazine covers, and even my son’s kindergarten class…………
………. Obama…………. Obama…………Obama!
This has been the biggest “propaganda” war against the American sheeple from the election to our current situation.
………. so ends my opus, just listen to the confirmation hearings of people that couldn’t be hired to walk my dog………. and watch the 24/7 coverage over the next few days.
………… Elections do have consequences, so does a forty years effort of purposely dumbing down the American people.
Seven Percent Solution on January 18, 2009 at 1:27 AM
JT, you are a treasure.
How delusional of this narcissistic cipher, who hasn’t done a thing in his life, of note, to compare himself to Lincoln. How demeaning to Mr. Lincoln!

Can you say Dictator!
davo on January 18, 2009 at 1:55 AM
The Obamatons I know are not the slightest bit disturbed by any of his policy or campaign promise reversals, or by his bendovers to the Clinton crew.
I had initially guessed they would be but nope, not a bit, Obama knows best and whatever Obama says is good they agree with even though he might’ve said the exact opposite just a few days before.
Obamalove seems to be unconditional. Close Gitmo in 100 days? Hooray for Obama! No wait, close Gitmo in 4 years, maybe, hopefully? Yippee, Obama will save us!
If Obama told his followers that the solution to our economic problems was for them to to run through the streets wearing their underpants on their heads they’d do it and really believe it worked.
The good news is that once the Obama personality cult goes out of fashion the whole Democratic party will go down with it.
Gilda on January 18, 2009 at 2:39 AM
It needs to be repeated loudly and clearly that, as President of the United States, he is the employee of the citizens of this country. Our Senators and Represenatives must be hammered with this message, as well.
I just now received an email article (too long to reproduce here) that a big chunk of money given to the Bank of America through the TARP funds was donated to Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH confab January 13-16. Just exactly how much of our tax burden must support identity politics.
onlineanalyst on January 18, 2009 at 4:15 AM
This guy needs to be turned into a parody of himself.
In one of his books he recalls his college days of one day running for President under tha theme of ‘change’. Twenty years later that was still his mantra. Change. Nothing specific. Just some vague BS marketing angle.
Now using some ultra cheesy format to launch some grandiose and delusional quest for total and complete rule for all-time.
Who does this clown think he is?
This country has survived for over 200 years without Obama leading us – and we will be around for 200 years after he is removed from office in disgrace.
Mr Purple on January 18, 2009 at 6:14 AM
I vehemently disagree. Republicans ended up with McCain thanks in large part to open primaries. Open primaries allow Dems to water down the Republican message by watering down their ‘choice’ of candidate.
RickZ on January 18, 2009 at 6:25 AM
If obama wants to be truly authentic with the Lincoln thing he’ll put on a dress.. according to Historybuff.com,
Now, if i could see THAT and take some video, I WOULD go to the innauguration.. He’d have to get the clothes from someone other than MichelleO otherwise they’d have to stuff about 15 pillows in the butt to take up the slack.
Why is it the media jumped all over GWB for the “Mission Accomplished” as being egotistical and overbearing but they are drooling and leaking genital fluids over obama play acting as Lincoln? /rethorical question
bullseye on January 18, 2009 at 7:49 AM
And who is surprised by that? The MSM bought every line of Barry’s fictionalized autobiographies without question. Barry created the myth, and the MSM not only failed to challenge it, they actively promoted it. Now that Barry has decided to enhance his self-mythologizing by comparing himself to Lincoln, why would anyone expect the propaganda arm of his perpetual campaign (otherwise known as the MSM) not to help him out in every possible way?

One thing you can count on from this administration, they will be all about the legacy and what is good for B. Hussein Obama. Just like Bill Clinton and a direct opposite of George W. Bush. When faced with the question of what is best for the nation and what is best for Obama, Obama’s interests will win every time.
Sometimes that will work to our advantage, sometimes not. But it will have the effect of keeping him from going far left.

That same adoring MSM will turn on him if the American people start revolting over his policies. If Barry’s policies start hurting the Average American, the public will turn on him like they did Jimmy Carter. If I remember correctly, the media pushed him into office, too.

This is a little long, about 16 minutes and a little dated, 1985. But it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, especially around 12:00 to the end.
allahallahoxenfree on January 18, 2009 at 10:13 AM
They (Obmamites) have learned how to disguise illegal campaign contributions, learn how to use “voter fraud”, learned to promise one thing to every political group, learn to use the race card effectively, have the MSM on their side, have a bunch of weenie Republicans who are more afraid of losing their jobs, then losing America…looks right now like a clear path…
right2bright on January 18, 2009 at 10:16 AM
He can campaign until the cows come home. The moment it becomes obvious that he is stalling on any decision to directly send $$$ to the poor, the first person to start banging the drum will be Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. There is no way those two are going to let him back down from the monetary promises he made throughout the campaign trail. The interesting things will be how many in the African American communities jump on the Jackson bandwagon and how the media will immediately start to discredit Sharpton or Jackson. What a balancing act it will be for them to discredit a prominent black leader while they bolster another.
sherry on January 18, 2009 at 10:17 AM
This leftist euphoria is only temporary. “”Obamites” are of the “Jim Jones” type and will praise the leader and drink the Kool Aid only until they become dispirited. When Obama’s bucket of money begins to empty so will the support among his parasitic followers.
rplat on January 18, 2009 at 10:19 AM
Giving kind words to a prostitute?
sethstorm on January 18, 2009 at 10:40 AM
And furthermore, Obama’s new campaign slogan “it’s going to get worse before it gets better” is paper-thin. This is Axelrods’ marketing genius at work to delay any kind of momentous decision on the part of the new President and ensure an additional term. They are banking on the stupidity of their loyal followers (which is a sure bet I would take any day) and the fact that the media will carry their water for four more years. Probably another sure thing.
sherry on January 18, 2009 at 10:59 AM
The problem is that as long as he uses us for his largesse to those who don’t feel like working he will be successful.
“The rich need to pay their fair share” crap is as effective now as it ever has been historically.
drjohn on January 18, 2009 at 11:04 AM
Support the president the Obama way: “Don’t be bamboozled. Don’t buy into it.”
JohnJ on January 18, 2009 at 11:05 AM
“How Barack Obama lost the black vote”
Will be the headlines in 2012
Barack Obama will only have his cult left to vote for him.
Once blacks get dis-enchanted with the Messiah they will
quit voting. Once blacks have figured out they were used by
the ONE and they still have to work or their welfare was cut
it won’t be pretty.

drjohn on January 18, 2009 at 11:04 AM
You’re right. It’s the same argument commmunism and socialism has used for years. “See those people (people that have worked hard)? Why should they have every thing that they have? You (the poor) deserve it. And we (big government) will give it to you. This bunch is very good at promoting “class” envy and warfare.

There was an elderly woman protesting at the McCain/Palin rally near Phila a while back. She worked her way in front of me, and during a calm discussion about Palin’s qualifications (or lack there of and general scariness…) she commented about the Sheriff’s Officers that were monitoring the crowd. Something like… What are all the brown shirts about? I’ve never seen that before.

I wonder what she’ll think if she attends the coronation?

2. give it to young, out of work people to sustain their activities
3. organize them to pressure legislators AND build-in votes
Um, we’re doomed.

Spectreman on January 18, 2009 at 1:21 PM
I have a new sister-in-law, a very sweet lady, albeit a flaming leftist. When I asked her about the incoming administration, she got this dreamy, far away look in her eyes and stated, “I have a lot of faith in Obama.”
Methinks that she needs refresher course on the Constitution and enumerated powers. Unless she believes that Barry is God’s personal avatar, having faith in Obama to “fix everything” is not only stupid, it’s creepy. When you start worshipping politicians, two things are bound to happen:
1) You will be bitterly disappointed that the object of your affection does not part the Red Sea
2) You will excuse and love everything that he does, even his actions are the exact same ones you called immoral when someone from another political party did them.
We are about to experience the Chinese curse of living in interesting times. More’s the pity.
Physics Geek on January 18, 2009 at 1:27 PM
As a former salesman I favor politicians like Reagan who have or had charisma and the ability to put over a message. Why I loathe Obama is not because of his charisma but his egocentric ideas that he can transform America by destroying the Constitution and rewriting the Declaration of Independence. This is beyond hubris. You say Obama is creepy. I say he is dangerous to all freedom-loving Americans. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

AIR AND RIVER PATROLS
An estimated 8,000 police officers, about half from outside the Washington area, will be deployed, said Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty. Some 10,000 National Guard reserve troops and 7,500 active-duty soldiers will also take part.
An intensified air patrol will guard the skies, and rivers bordering the city will be patrolled. Other security measures include stationing chemical-sensing teams, closing bridges into the city and sealing off a large area of downtown to cars.

The more security around the President-Elect the better,Obama MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS from the hate-mongering,fear fetching,race baiting,ultra neo-conservative,anti-america haters and jesus freaks.
P.S. 5 tons of “Transparent Armor” will be deployed around the Capital to help keep the President-Elect safe,and by the way if your not in the DC Metro Area or if you have nothing to hide,then DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

DcMike2K on January 18, 2009 at 4:37 PM
He’s not. So far Obama’s actions are far more centristic and far mor constitutional than GWB ever dreamed of.
My favorite idiot quote of the day:
Yes, SC did the right thing, plunge the country into a civil war that cost nearly 700,000 dead Americans, over “Southern honor,” the right of states to determine who could and could not own slaves. Yep, that’s the ‘right thing.’ To hell with you and your “Southern honor.”

I seem to recall an interview with obamamama where he said that the constitution was a document of ‘negative liberties’ or some such marxist, lawyeristic, leftist claptrap.
I also rememeber THE ONE quoting right from Marx and Engles when a plumber asked him a question. The answer right from the horses
assmouth was some marxist drivel about ‘redistributing the wealth’.Oops sorry, that’s two instances so I guess my reply doesnt’ count

Obviously you are having trouble getting the point of my previous post… Go back and reread the whole post, both the quoted news article that you focused on, and my story of an Obama supporter’s reaction to police security at a McCain/Palin rally (though I only mentioned her as a protester, she was an Obama supporter).
-
I never said anything along the lines that the One should not be protected or that his inauguration protection is over the top… I was noting that an Obama supporter expressed concern about the presence of police at a McCain/Palin rally. Further, I wondered how the same protester would view the high level of police protection for Obama.
-
Since she made excuses for every fault and flaw that I pointed out about Obama, my guess is that she will be quite okay with the “brown shirts” that surround The One.
RalphyBoy on January 18, 2009 at 5:47 PM
What a bizarre thing to debate – whether or not the President or President-Elect should be protected. Hell yes! After 9-11 all big events like this in DC should be heavily protected, no matter who is in the office.
trailboss on January 18, 2009 at 5:49 PM
This guy is starting to beleave his own press.I think he realey beleaves that he is on a mission from God and no one can stand in his way or stop him.I also think that alot of his voters beleave he has devine powers and should be Pres.for life .The permanent campaign begens.

I do not care if the RINO’s all submit.
I will not submit.
I do not care if all my neighbors submit.
I will not submit.
If my tires are slashed,, I will not submit.
If I lose my job,, I will not submit.
I love America. America is not about some dictator like god we are all suppose to worship.
I congratulate Mr Obama on becoming President. It is an achievement for our nation that we have elected a black man and rejected racism. Wonderful.
I will not submit to Marxism or Obama worship. Just is not going to happen.
But,, we shall see how things play out. Obama has never really actually governed anything before. All he has done is been a community thug, smoked cigarettes, given speeches and run campaigns. Things may be a little different once he actually has to be responsible for something. The novelty at some point is going to wear off.
JellyToast on January 18, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Jelly, you might want to consider taking a few deep breaths and lighten up just a bit. That last post of yours was pretty melodramatic and over the top. You kind of sounded like the lefties after Bush won. Really, it’s going to be okay.
dakine on January 18, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Here, here! I agree!
I used to scoff at the thought of breaking up the repub party and starting a more conservative one, but more and more, I’m thinking that’s going to be necessary. The GOP has simply become the moderate faction of the dimrat party, therefore, they are silent and meaningless.
The conservatives need to divorce from them and start a new party based on sovereignty, patriotism, traditionalism, values, and defense. And, the sooner the better.
ErinF on January 18, 2009 at 7:56 PM
I mostly disagree. There is no reason why conservatives should or need to give the filthy bastard taking over the presidency the benefit of the doubt. I don’t want his socialist agenda to succeed. I don’t like the people he’s bringing with him including his slutty wife.
If the filthy bastard wants to win over conservatives, let him do it by his actions not by morons like you demanding we not be critical of filthy government when we see it.

…Said the Germans when Hitler was elected
…Said the Italians when Mussolini was elected (but at least the trains ran on time)
…Said the Russians, Georgians and Ukranians etc as Stalin took power
…Said the Chinese as Mao took Power
…Said the North Koreans as the goofy gargoyle took power
…Said the folks who eventually died under Pol Pot
…Said the folks who allowed Mugabi to power
…Said the folks who allowed Saddam to power
…Said those who were eventually stoned by the iranian regime
…Said those people from the ashes of their cities who had blindly followed Tojo
The guy isn’t even inaugurated and he’s showing signs of meglamania… HE is the one who needs to chill out a bit. Maybe that old catholic blessing on Ash Wednesday would help..”Remember man that thou art dust and unto dust thou shall return”…ooops forgot his pastor is more along the lines of GOD DAMN AMERICA

hey you left someome off your list….
George W Bush
the man that stole 2 elections,used his office and the goverment to punish political enemies,tried to strip Americans of their right to privacy,(Patriot Act,Terrorist Survailance Program aka the Americans Survailance Program) launched 2 illegal wars,stole their resources,killed their citizens,overthrew 2 goverments that were soverign nations,displaced hundreds of thousands of people and sent over 4,200 American soliders to their deaths so if your going to put bad guys up,don’t forget the one that will be making his getaway at noon on Tuesday

I want to respond quickly here before your mommy sends you to bed…
Gee, I guess you passed Brownshirt character assasination 101.
OK dude, don’t know if you are old enough for working papers yet, but I have worked in the same postition as Joe. I had my Master’s degree but I was helping a friend out. As long as he is a licensed plumber, no problem..NEXT
WHO CARES.. He certainly won’t be buying a business under obamamarx. I know a lot of mom and pop shops that have just fired all their employees. And, guess what, it is doable for the guy to buy the business. You just don’t know diddly about small business loans..
Which he paid when he found out about them. I don’t give a rat’s smelly rectum about a plumber not paying his taxes. HOWEVER, I do care when Charlie Rangell, you know, the democrap who writes the tax code, fails to pay taxes. How about obama who never paid taxes on the sweetheart deal from Tony Rezko’s wife… A third of a million in value and not a penny in tax paid.. What about the treasury secretery pick.. Cheated on HIS taxes a couple of different ways… Oh, and did the dirtball Cold Cash Jefferson pay taxes on the 90 grand in his freezer??? hmmmmmmm??? thought not
I worked for the navy for almost 20 years. I met some interesting people. They never talked about what they did, but the word got around. One guy had a sniper record close to that of Carlos Hatcock but it was unofficial. It happened where US Troops weren’t. Another guy personally disabled about 40 or the 70+ F-14s in Iran before he left that country. Again, he never spoke of it. Other people told us. The think about all those people was the eyes. They had “Don’t ever F with me eyes”. When I first saw Joe the plumber I saw those eyes and told my family that the dems would make a mistake messing with him. Guess what, I was right.
As far as being a reporter he will do a world better than the liberal nitwits that are out there.

As far as I’m concerned,Obama has a pass from me for at least 4yrs because he’s going to be so busy cleaning up Bush’s mess he might not get anything else done

Best excuse I’ve heard since Ferris Bueller stayed home sick from school.
You need to go over to Kos right now or you’ll miss out on the half-off special on the Obama Inaugural Plate collection. They’re half-off now because in a few months they won’t be able to give them away.

Uh, mikey, check up on history.. This war has been going on since about 700 AD. The towers and the pentagon and flight 93 were attacked by islamic terrorists. Saddam had used WMDs on his own people and the iranians.
The wars were done in accord with congress..
Are you weeping for Saddam?? The guy who would throw his people into acid vats or tree shredders? The guy whos kids fed their victims to tigers for shits and giggle. The guy where it was a death sentence to make a joke about a mustache?? I’ve had some deep discussions with a Kuwaiti Colonel and I don’t detect anything other than thankfullness that Saddam is gone.
How about the taliban in Afghanistan.. Bet you wish they were still there beheading and burning women for wanting to go to school.
We’ve had 7+ years where I could be relatively sure that there would not be a repeat of Beslan here in the US. Now I have to start worrying every day my kid goes to school.
This is the real world pal. Not amateur hour where some birkenstock wearing latte sipping so called intellectuals get to have a discussion about what to do.
I’ve worked for the military and am aware of what NBC weapons can do (Anyone can be educated just through basic open source materials). A 1kt weapon can fit in the backseat of a mini cooper. 15kt can easily fit in an SUV. Get a small van and you can put a multistage H Bomb of 2+ Megatons. I listened to a speech by the former SecNav and didn’t sleep for a week. We’re playing the big leagues.. life or death, and we have a bunch of punk amateurs in charge.
How many times have you been in a life or death situation??
There are a lot of things I disagree with GWB on but his approach worked. He took the enemy off balance. Unfortunately 52% of the country decided they wanted “Hope and Change” and can’t give you any reasonable definition of what the hell that means.
We needed Winston Churchill, We got Neville Chamberlan
We Needed Jan III Sobieski, We got a chicago community organizer.

I saw a video about a southern guy in his 60′s that could literally pick bugs off a stalk of grass at about 50′ with a slingshot. He was hitting quarters in the air every time.

Your disabling friend/acquaintance ….did he say that was on a base on the coastal plain of the Caspian Sea?
If so…. Big smile….

He was a Grumman Rep at the time. Former Attack Helo Driver. There was some open publication referencing the fact. Obscure, but it was published in the open.

All that about Saddam is true, and he also had his personal doctor stomped to death and eaten by dogs for simply talking crap about him.

Ummm….Truly an obscure answer….
If you ever see or talk to him again, ask …if he had ever seen any “E” ghosts… …. I don’t believe that‘s classified, and in this administration to be…lol…it wouldn’t matter anyway.

Back in the 70’s we did some “stuff” that would turn the hair of some modern day gladiators…
Having said that, I have the highest regard for those who serve today….you guys astound me every time I read something you’ve done.
With this coming administration I can only hope that you fully understand the oath you took..
Not any additions that the powers that be ADDED to your oath, but that which ALL of us took….
To defend…..This Constitution…
With out which we are not the Republic our Founding Fathers gave all ……………

Sucks that you went to a government school, but slavery had absolutely nothing to do with the War of Northern Aggression.
It would have been fought even if the continent of Africa did not exist.
