Obama: ‘We can’t let the truth get in the way of my agenda!’

Pardon my French, but this just pisses me off!

Beginning Sunday, the White House will harness every part of the Democratic Party’s machinery to defend President Obama’s budget and portray Republicans as reflexively political, according to party strategists.

A participant in the planning meetings described the push as a successor to Democrats’ message that Rush Limbaugh is the Republican Party leader. “We have exhausted the use of Rush as an attention-getter,” the official said.

David Plouffe, manager of Obama’s presidential race, helped design the strategy, which includes the most extensive activation since November of the campaign’s grassroots network. The database—which includes information for at least 10 million donors, supporters and volunteers—will now be used as a unique tool for governing, with former canvassers now being enlisted to mobilize support for the president’s legislative agenda.

Others involved in the planning included White House senior adviser David Axelrod; the DNC chairman, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine; and DNC Executive Director Jennifer O’Malley Dillon.

The plan follows the private complaints of some Democrats that Obama let the GOP get the better of him during the debate over pork in the budget bill he just signed, and growing concerns among some Democrats that charges of big spending could stick to the president.

Starting this week, President Obama will be “engaging directly with Congress more, and speaking more forcefully on behalf of his budget,” a top adviser said.

On Sunday morning, three top White House officials will appear on network interview shows to describe brighter days ahead for the nation’s economy, and make the case that the budget is an important part of the president’s overall recovery plan.

And officials throughout the party plan to hammer the idea that Republicans are just saying “no” to the president’s budget plans without offering their own alternative.

House Republicans, who released an alternative to the stimulus bill, say they’ll issue their own budget proposal in the next few weeks. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in January in his opening remarks to this legislative session: “During the 111th Congress, Republicans will strive not to be the party of ‘opposition,’ but the party of better solutions.”

Obama’s waging a war on the truth, for crying out loud. He signed the Porkulus bill and the OmniPork bill! While signing bills loaded with earmarks he says he’s going to reform the earmark process! This is ridiculous! Can you imagine screwing up your job, blaming it on someone else, acting in ways that are against company policy while decrying those who violate company policy and keeping your job?

And he has plenty of help in his War on the Truth. He has an army of left wing activits nut jobs! They have a new name: Unity ’09.

A broad coalition of left-leaning groups is quietly closing ranks into a new coalition, “Unity ’09,” aimed at helping President Barack Obama push his agenda through Congress.

Conceived at a New York meeting before the November election, two Democrats familiar with the planning said, Unity ’09 will draw together money and grassroots organizations to pressure lawmakers in their home states to back White House legislation and other progressive causes.

The online-based MoveOn.org is a central player in the nascent organization, but other groups involved in planning Unity ’09 span a broad spectrum of interests, from the American Civil Liberties Union to the National Council of La Raza to Planned Parenthood, as well as labor unions and environmental groups.

The group is still in its early stages, and its organizers have adopted a secretive posture: Several of the people involved did not respond to emails over the last two days, even though one of them, former MoveOn executive director Eli Pariser, has programmed his MoveOn email account to assure correspondents that he is using the account for messages “including Unity ’09 work.”

People familiar with the planning said that the White House is not directly involved in the group’s formation, though Unity ’09′s main day-to-day staffer, Aaron Pickrell, was a senior aide on Obama’s presidential campaign. Aides to Obama and to Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel didn’t respond to inquiries about whether they were familiar with the group.

Wake up America! Our new !president cares about two things and only two things: pushing through his radical socialist agenda and getting re-elected! Is this the sort of change you were looking for? Really?
