Obama sent me an Email After the Iowa Caucuses

And it begins a little something like this:

Douglas --

These Republican candidates spent in some cases more than a year -- in Mitt Romney's case seven years -- campaigning in Iowa to be the next president.

But tonight, GOP voters there couldn't decisively get behind anyone.

Who exactly leads the Republican race going forward isn't clear, but we do know two things:

1) The extremist Tea Party agenda won a clear victory. No matter who the Republicans nominate, we'll be running against someone who has embraced that agenda in order to win -- vowing to let Wall Street write its own rules, end Medicare as we know it, roll back gay rights, leave the troops in Iraq indefinitely, restrict a woman's right to choose, and gut Social Security to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires and corporations.

2) We'll be facing an onslaught of unprecedented spending from outside groups funded by corporations and anonymous donors. In Iowa alone, so-called "super PACs" spent $12.9 million on almost exclusively negative ads. These groups will turn their fire even more directly on us in the weeks ahead to prove that their candidate is the most anti-Obama.

This race is officially on -- and if we want to win, the only way is to out-organize them on the ground.


Okay, let's take apart the lunacy. . .

- "GOP voters there couldn't decisively get behind anyone"

Unlike the sheep of the Democrat Party, conservatives don't jump behind the candidate the party tells them to follow (or at least "usually" they don't).  Debate, and a slow grinding wheel is the way it is supposed to work. It weeds out the weaklings, and ensures the better candidates get the nod because they outlasted the grueling journey.  Obama is of a "dictator" mindset.  This is why he complains when Congress does the same thing. . . you know, debate.  He expects them to fall in line, do what he says, and pass what he demands. . . no questions asked.

America does not work that way.

- "Extremist Tea Party"

Extremist how? Because the Tea Party wants us to go back to the Constitution?  Because they dare disagree with him?  Does he realize that Tea Party is not just a bunch of conservative GOPers?  At Tea Party rallies there were disenfranchised democrats, independents, libertarians, republicans, and so forth.

- "vowing to let Wall Street write its own rules, end Medicare as we know it, roll back gay rights, leave the troops in Iraq indefinitely, restrict a woman's right to choose, and gut Social Security to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires and corporations."

Oh, this is fun.  So government should dictate to private entities, like those on Wall Street, what they can and can't do?  What is the problem?  Does Obama hate it when people make the kind of money he has, but by working hard and being successful?  Besides, if anyone is a Wall Street accomplice, it is Obama.

Where did, by the way, Obama's millions come from?

End Medicare as we know it?  Right, but by making it better, and less controlled by government.  By the way, Obamacare cuts more Medicare funding than any Republican economics bill proposed.

Roll back gay rights?  What rights?  The right to change the definition of marriage, or force their beliefs on our children in the schools?  The right to endanger our military by adding an element that creates uncertainty in the field?  I don't care if the homosexuals want to pursue their perverse lifestyle, but I'll be damned if they will get preferential treatment over everybody because they claim to be victims.

Keep troops in Iraq indefinitely?  Are you kidding?  Obama pulled the troops out of Iraq based on the timetable created by Bush, for God's Sake.  That's not even counting him getting involved in Libya and Uganda while crying we should stay out of everyone else's business.

Restrict a woman's right to choose?  Shouldn't that be, protect the lives of innocent unborn children?

Gut Social Security to pay for more tax cuts for millionaires and corporations?  Are you serious?  What does his precious $40 per month per person payroll thing-ma-jiggy do to Social Security? It takes away the only funding for it, that's what it does.  And who began using Social Security as a piggy bank, rather than leave it alone so that the accounts would only pay for benefits?  Statists like Obama - that's who.  As for the tax cuts for the rich, even with all of these alleged tax cuts Obama claims there is, the rich pays the majority of "all" taxes.  The top .01 percent pays more taxes than the bottom 80%!

- "We'll be facing an onslaught of unprecedented spending from outside groups funded by corporations and anonymous donors."

Talk about projecting.  First, Obama is out gaining everyone in fundraising, as he did in 2008. How? Largely due to spending from outside groups, including illegal funds from foreign sources, as well as his chosen corporations - - - besides, think about it. Who loves the corporations the most in their pockets?  The GOP who said let the failed ones fail?  Or the democrats who bailed out failed corporations, except the ones that didn't spend money on the democrat party?

And yes, they are trying to prove they are anti-Obama, because Obama is the worst president in the history of the United States.

Obama says the way to win is to "out-organize" the GOP.  Yep, he is a community organizer, and community agitator.  Of course that is what he thinks.
