Obama's Enemies List Grows
By Mark Hyman on 6.8.09 @ 6:08AM

Just having the appearance of someone who might possibly vote for an
opponent of Barack Obama could land them on the President's enemies list
where proxies do the dirty work. Political appointees in the Justice
Department killed a six-month investigation by career DOJ lawyers into the
most blatant voter intimidation case in 40 years. Last November,
jack-booted, uniformed, baton-wielding thugs from the New Black Panther
Party calling themselves "security" obstructed a Philadelphia polling
location and behaved in an intimidating manner toward white voters.

Days after dismissing charges against the menacing thugs, the Justice
Department moved in the opposite direction by blocking responsible steps to
stem voter fraud. The DOJ barred the administrative procedures Georgia
authorities put into place - under federal court guidance -- to verify voter
registrations. The DOJ claimed the procedures violated the rights of
minority voters.

A de facto Obama enemies list and dirty political machine have been
expanding since last year. Obama has established several embarrassing
presidential firsts including targeting private individuals by names,
assigning a well-known "partisan dirt-digger" and non-lawyer to the White
House Counsel's Office to likely gain access to Bush Administration
documents protected under attorney-client privilege, and moving the senior
political advisor into the West Wing. These are heretofore unseen partisan
practices.

Career opposition researcher Shauna Daly left the White House Counsel's
Office after a mere month and returned to the Democratic National Committee
where using privileged attorney-client information in the opposition
research department would set a new low in unethical practices.

Attempting to build-up the Obama Administration by criticizing that of his
predecessor has become a near-daily exercise. Obama has personally led
efforts to demonize George W. Bush. There has been a full-court press to
label enhanced detainee interrogation techniques, approved by Democratic
leaders and discontinued for the past six years, as "torture." Interrogation
techniques used on tens of thousands of U.S. servicemen and women for more
than two decades were suddenly considered criminal acts and Bush officials
in the review and approval chain have been smeared as criminals.

Two military psychologists who supervised the enhanced interrogation
techniques that were used on only three terrorist leaders were publicly
outed by Democratic Senator Carl Levin placing both doctors and their
families in personal danger. The doctors' identities had previously been
kept under wraps.

Obama's lawyers are attempting to financially ruin individuals party to the
most absurd soap opera involving the 44th president. There is unabated
controversy regarding his birth, citizenship and foreign travel. Obama could
immediately silence his critics by authorizing the release of his original
birth certificate and passport. One has to wonder what could possibly be in
either document that has caused Obama to wage a fierce and expensive legal
battle to keep the files secreted. Aside from Joan Rivers, nearly every
American would willingly make their birth certificate available and Obama's
stubborn refusal to do so only adds to the controversy.

Petty personal politics, while damaging to the dignity of the White House,
have allowed the Obama Administration to elevate political allies and their
causes and denigrate valid critics. David Axelrod, Obama's chief political
strategist, appeared on National Public Radio last month and belittled a
21-year old beauty pageant contestant, insisting she was one of three
finalists for the Obama family dog. The target of Axelrod's churlish remarks
was Carrie Prejean, the reigning Miss California. Weeks earlier, Prejean was
victimized by a militant homosexual judge who was angry she did not
enthusiastically endorse gay marriage in response to his
"have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife?" question during the Miss USA
competition.

Hours after a doctor specializing in partial-birth abortions was slain, both
Obama and U.S. Attorney-General Eric Holder issued statements strongly
condemning the killing. Further, Holder deployed scores of U.S. Marshals to
protect abortion clinics nationwide. The emphatic denunciation of this
slaying differed wildly with a nearly identical murder only 24-hours later.
A Muslim shot two U.S. Army soldiers outside a Little Rock recruiting
station killing one. Days later, the White House quietly faxed a subdued
statement to a single Arkansas news outlet while Holder remained silent
regarding the act of Islamic terrorism.

This antagonistic attitude toward servicemen and women is not surprising. A
few months earlier, the Department of Homeland Security issued a document
warning counterterrorism and law enforcement authorities of an alleged
threat to the U.S. posed by "domestic rightwing terrorists." Included in the
group of potential rightwing terrorists are individuals who are pro-life,
support the Second Amendment and oppose the flood of illegal aliens. The DHS
pamphlet also singled out military veterans for possible recruitment into
domestic terrorist cells.

The targeting of perceived political enemies by the Obama Administration has
grown from mere individuals to entire groups. Evidence emerged that a common
thread among the list of 789 Chrysler dealerships ordered closed by the
White House is that the owners donated to GOP candidates, Republican-leaning
causes or donated to Hillary Clinton or John Edwards during the Democratic
presidential primaries.

Auto industry observers and others report that apparently successful
franchises (such as Chrysler's highest-rated 5-star dealerships) were
ordered closed in favor of less successful car lots and the consistent
discriminator was which political party the owners supported. One report
suggests the closure list may have been drawn up by the car czar's office.

In some instances, dealerships ordered closed were those that competed with
franchises whose owners were prolific supporters or contributors to
Democratic politicians. Thomas "Mack" McLarty, former chief of staff to Bill
Clinton, had virtually all of the competition to his six dealership
locations wiped out.

Also targeted during the auto industry purge were companies that did not
willingly agree to Obama's political demands. Representatives of three
secured creditors that did not receive any government bailout money reported
they were threatened if they did not agree to White House demands in
Chrysler's restructuring. The White House insistence that secured creditors
accept only 29 cents on the dollar while inflating the value of unsecured
credit claims held by the United Auto Workers turned two century-old
bankruptcy policy on its head.

One fund manager reported being on the receiving end of a profanity-laced
tirade by Auto Industry Task Force head Steve Rattner that included threats
to use the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange
Commission in gangster-like enforcement roles.

In another exchange, Thomas Lauria, a lawyer for financial firm Perella
Weinberg Partners, reported the car czar threatened that "the full force of
the White House press corps would destroy its [Perella Weinberg's]
reputation" unless the firm agreed to Obama administration demands in
Chrysler's bankruptcy. The failure by the White House press corps to
repudiate Rattner's threat speaks volumes and underscores their role as an
ally of the Obama Administration.
