While the main stream media was consumed with finding out exactly who Tareq and Michaele Salahi are and how they managed to get past three levels of Secret Service security screenings, gaining entry into a White House State Dinner, the press apparently missed the bigger story of at least one of the invited guests.
Robert Creamer, husband of Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), was an invited guest of the same White House function that the Salahi’s snuck into. The Salahi’s are merely publicity hounds seeking attention for a reality show Bravo reportedly has them competing for. While they may eventually face charges for their bold move, the Salahi’s, unlike Robert Creamer, are not convicted felons.
While Congress holds hearings on the lapse of security that allowed the Salahi’s to waltz through the front door of the White House I wonder if they will take up the question of how effective White House security really is when a convicted felon can receive a bona fide invitation to a State dinner. I’m sure if the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh were asked, he would probably have preferred the company of the Salahi’s over that of a Chicago felon but then again, this whole concept of a Presidential “Thugocracy” is new to the White House and it will take world leaders some time to adapt.
Robert Creamer plead guilty to charges of bank fraud in 2004 and received five months in prison and eleven months of house arrest for defrauding banks of $2.3 million dollars in an elaborate check kiting scheme. Prosecutors had wanted a three-year sentence, but U.S. District Judge James B. Moran said five months was fairer because no one suffered "out of pocket losses" and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going through a period of financial difficulty.
James Moran (1930-2009) was not only a Federal Judge but a self described liberal Democrat who supported many liberal and progressive causes. To Judge Moran, the ends obviously justified the means and he couldn’t bring himself to mete out a harsh punishment to someone that wasn’t committing fraud for personal gain, but had only broken the law to help his struggling progressive group, the Illinois Public Action Council, from failing. After all, Creamer was a political organizer and strategist, a lobbyist for George Soros and a progressive (Marxist) just like the good judge. Sentencing Creamer to the three years the prosecutor had asked for would be akin to political cannibalism and we all know that liberals, like cannibals, don’t eat their friends no matter what they’ve done.
Like many other felons, Robert Creamer had to find himself in prison. He wrote a book while he was serving his sentence titled: Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win. This book was lauded by David Axelrod as the blueprint for progressive politics and I suppose, as Obama’s top political advisor, his glowing review probably placed this book high on the President’s reading list. Curiously, many of the bullet points that Creamer named in his strategy appear to have been adopted, verse and chapter by this administration in their plan to advance their agenda. It’s all there…creating a crisis, naming enemies, shaming opponents, etc, etc.
I’m just not sure if Axelrod really believes Creamer’s book is that brilliant or if he just sees Creamer as a kindred spirit. After all, Axelrod was born to a middle class family living in the lower east side of Manhattan, New York City. He never held a job outside of politics, political reporting or political consulting but has managed to amass a comfortable fortune reported to be between $6.9 and $9.5 million dollars. Last year he reported a $900,000 salary from AKP&D and more than $650,000 in partnership income from his two firms. It always amazed me that so many of our political figures seem to make millions, virtually overnight. Oh sure, there are many that were just born into money like Rockefeller and Kennedy or married it like John Kerry but for many, it is an almost miraculous transformation into wealth.
Who would ever think that devoting your life to Democratic principals and service to your nation could be so…..so rewarding! Not like those corrupt corporate heads and Wall Street fat cats that deserve to have their salaries capped by the Federal Government at $500,000. They are evil and Democrats are only working for the good of the people. I bet that Mr. Axelrod would forgo his excessive salary altogether if it weren’t for the fact that he wants to pay as much income tax as possible to help support the government. If it were not for the progressive tax structure, he would probably despise himself for being so loaded with filthy, evil, capitalist money. What a guy!
Conspiracy advocates are usually denigrated because most conspiracy theories are such a stretch of the imagination and if they have proof, it is nearly invisible. This administration, however, is surrounded by curious characters with very troubling views. None of the allegations about communist beliefs or links between his agenda and radical third parties have ever been disputed by the White House which only deepens the mystery. The links to 1960’s militant radicals, Czars with ties to socialist organizations and alliances with Marxist union chiefs are all well know and the most damning evidence is documented by their own statements made in speeches and other appearances or in black and white on the pages of their own books.
Cash for Clunkers and training prison labor for “green Jobs” are now known to have been the brain child of Van Jones, the self-proclaimed communist and the only Czar that was too radical, even for this administration. Now we have policies adopted by the White House that appear to be part of a plan crafted by an ex-con detailed in a book he wrote in prison. How much lower can they go? It is all filthy politics designed around the absolute control of America with or without the consent of Congress but that sounds like the kind of plan a common criminal would come up with; doesn’t it.
The inspirations that Obama has based his life and career on were, until a very few years ago, the people and plans that the radical left discussed in dark closets and University courses in political science. Lenin, Mao Zedong, Saul Alinsky and now Robert Creamer are all part of the equation. Can anyone deny that the healthcare reform bill now under discussion is not the first brick in a socialist cathedral? The foundation was laid by FDR in the 1930’s and reinforced by Johnson in the 1960’s. Both would have preferred to have universal healthcare brought to life under their administrations but Americans then, as now, have no stomach for a massive and all powerful Federal government. Can anyone deny that Cap and Trade otherwise known as the Climate Bill, would give government express control over every industrial and economic activity in this nation? We were shocked when the Feds took over GM and now it appears that this was the tip of the iceberg. Cap and trade will give the government power to regulate everything and in essence, seize control of industry without having to “buy” control as in the case if GM.
Now that the evidence to support global warming is known to have been manufactured for political reasons, the Congress is rethinking their commitment to Cap and Trade, as well they should. Well that throws a good old fashioned monkey wrench into their plans for national domination so Obama’s appointee to the EPA steps in and declares carbon dioxide is a pollutant that can be regulated by the EPA under existing law. The White House is now threatening Congress to either pass cap and trade or the EPA will do something even worse. They will impose cap without the trade and just shut industry down all together.
You know, I am really beginning to believe we have been looking in all the wrong places for terrorists. After all, only a terrorist would threaten to collapse the entire American economy unless we concede to their demands. Only terrorists would intentionally surround themselves with radicals, militants and criminals. Aren’t terrorists driven by ideology? Aren’t they driven by the “teachings” of like minded individuals? Don’t they believe they are the soldiers of fundamental change?
Well it is another Friday so I will be keeping my ear to the ground again. The other trait this administration has in common with terrorists is in their tendency to strike without warning and when least expected. They love making surprise announcements and personnel changes during the wee hours of the night during weekend when few are looking. I only hope that 2010 isn’t too far away to stop these people and the things they manage to push through can be undone while we still have a nation and a Constitution to protects.
