This is just creepy. The Obama campaign is re-launching as a non-profit group dedicated to Obama. All of the usual suspects will be involved – David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs, Stephanie Cutter, etc. Not only is it creepy, it’s unprecedented. Another historic first for Dear Leader.
The group, to be called Organizing for Action, opens for business Sunday, the day Obama is officially inaugurated.
If this type of organization has existed before in American politics on any similar scale, I’m not aware of it.
There are excellent reasons why we haven’t had mass groups devoted to powerful leaders in this country. Our whole system of government is designed to provide checks to protect against the accretion of too much power, to forestall mob rule. A mass organization that does the bidding of a single individual who also happens to be the president of the United States undermines such intentions. (Read More)
Obama’s email announcing the new endeavor claimed that “together” they have “made our communities stronger,” which is especially ironic considering that his hometown of Chicago is a more dangerous place for Americans than Afghanistan.
Anyway, it’s not like this Cult of Personality business wasn’t predictable.
Oh my!! The ZeroHero doesn’t want the names who donate to his tax exempt, nonprofit, partisan 501(c)4 Obloviating For Action group with unlimited contributions as tax deductions that lobby for and participate in political campaigns and elections for the promotion of social welfare to be published with their addresses and phone numbers or where their kids go to school. Just like the unions, I doubt they will pay tax on income spent on political activities or a gift tax violating the IRS rules. A miniscule fine paid in comparison to the millions raked in will be tolerable to the Marxist-Zero.
Mrs. Zero should spend some of that $15,000 per day for a makeup artist on speech therapy instead of new wigs.

I understand you guys hate it, but you got give him this, he’s an innovator. And someone who’s intelligence the right severely underestimated. His campaign force is easily the best of the modern era and using it to rile up the 65 million people who voted for him and putting pressure on republicans to pass what the majority of the country wants, is a stroke of genius.

I think people said the same things about Hitler at the time. “Stroke of genius!”

That name (Hitler) is thrown around far too casually. There are no Adolf Hitlers in the United States government. Not Republican, not Democrat, not now, not ever. That man and what he did was the epitome of the purest evil the world has ever seen. How anyone, even if they despise the man, can equate our President to such a disgrace of a human being obviously has no sense of the gravity Hitler’s actions had on not just the people of the time, but generation after generation.
Throwing that name around with such aloofness is an insult to all those who suffered under his tyranny.
