During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, 'Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.'
OK, we will.
And that is precisely the problem with Obama.
In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official, Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial 'czars,' 'special advisor's,' and 'officers' he has chosen to come to the White House to have direct access to him.
If one uses the criterion Obama laid out by which to judge his character, political ideology, and plans for the country, we can only conclude that the President is a far-Left extremist who disdains capitalism and free commerce, free speech in the open marketplace of ideas, Caucasian people who have accumulated wealth, and any dissent from the concepts propounded by his 'regime.'
How do we know this? Look at his czars, special advisers, and officers. These are the ones closest to Obama.
John Holdren, science czar, advocates for population control using the most extreme measures, such as mandating the number of children Americans can have. He is also a proponent of 'de-developing' the United States, sending its agricultural practices and technology back to the 19th century. Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill elderly do not fit his definition of 'human,' and therefore can be expendable.
Cass Sunstein, regulatory czar and Harvard law professor, believes that animals should have the right to legal representation. If you try to get rid of rats in your home, a 'concerned citizen' could bring a lawsuit, with the rat as the plaintiff, to sue you for endangering a species. He also believes that if bloggers post something that turns out to be false, they should be prosecuted. In short, Sunstein is a Leftwing moonbat with Fascist leanings. Remember, Obama said to judge him by the people around him.
Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare czar, believes in using cost-benefit and comparative-benefit analysis to allocate healthcare resources. This means the fewer years you have left to live, the less cost-effective it is to treat you. Thus, most of those resources should be diverted from the elderly to younger people. This is the 'rationing' portion of ObamaCare that many of us have warned about. And this will be done even without the so-called 'public option,' which is not really what the debate about government control of healthcare is about in the first place. Even without the public option, the provision for rationing is inherent in the provisions of the bill, thanks to advisers such as Emanuel.
Van Jones, green jobs czar, is perhaps the most extremist of the extreme in the entire lot. As a self-avowed, self-identified Communist, Jones abhors liberty, the Constitution, the American way of life, and seeks to change it from top to bottom. Here is more on Van Jones.
Mark Loyd, FCC 'diversity czar,' supports Communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and believes that what Chavez did to squelch free speech in the media and seize the means of communication is a good model for the United States. His plan is to silence conservative talk radio by forcing ownership to change hands to minorities and by implementing a fee structure for licensing that will put most private broadcasters out of business. At that point, Loyd would make PBS, or NPR on the radio, the most powerful forces in broadcasting--controlled by the government, of course.
Due to the areas over which they have jurisdiction, the above-named 'special advisers' to Obama are the key players. Jobs, communication, healthcare, agriculture, population control--all of these amount to a major shift in the way America has operated as a Free Republic for over 200 years.
Questions for consideration: Given these czars and special advisers who have offices in the White House with easy access to the President, how, then, should we judge Barack Obama's ideas and plans for the country, just as he asked us to do? Why is a Communist operating out of the White House as one of Obama's closet advisers? What can Americans reasonably expect over the next few years if the policies espoused by Loyd, Jones, Sunstein, Emanuel, and Holdren are implemented?

Don't forget when Van Jones said:
"We're really entering a third wave of environmentalism in the United States. The white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people of color communities."

Race seems to be a part of nearly everything Jones says. Does anyone really believe that white people are intentionally poisoning minorities? Wasn't the Obama administration supposed to be the beginning of a "post-racial" America? Why does he have "special advisors" out there openly attempting to create an even bigger racial divide?
The reason Van Jones spews that hateful race speech, is a Saul Alinsky tactic. Create discontent, where there is none. They been using it on Bush and Cheney for years....He created that hate against them. And anyone else who stands for freedom for that matter. I imagine he's behind the hateful attacks on Palin, as well.
You only mention those you are allowed to criticise, how about all the zionists jews controlling obama, emmanuel, kissinger, briz etc. why don't you say anything against jews? they are the ones destroying the USA
He's surrounded himself with people hell-bent on destroying America, and still the press fawns over him
What's happened to America?
To establish the Reich, they must identify and eliminate their opposition. If a few million Americans must be sacrificed to ensure the Reich is acheived, so be it. Oh how we burned....
Paul:
"Why does he have "special advisors" out there openly attempting to create an even bigger racial divide?"
That is his agenda, look at gates-gate. All the proof you need, and they are trying to destroy Glenn Beck because he is telling the undeniable truth about Obama.
Rev Wright, Van Jones, Mark Lloyd, Frank Marshall Davis how many more Marxist racists need to come out of the woodwork before people accept the fact that Obama is himself a Marxist racist?
Typical scared bigoted commentary
The biggest question of all is, how the hell do people that espouse these beliefs ever make it to The White House to begin with?
Our federal government has a A LOT of explaining to do!
Also, since Van Jones, evidently believes, a former president was behind 911, he now has me wondering how he and cronies may have had something to do with 911. Of course I have no evidence to support that thought, but it is something to ponder.
Call me a Czar-Truther if you like.
This is an incredibly misleading and unfair slur on a distinguished oncologist. Dr. Emanuel's article was expressly limited to the special case of scarce medical interventions - such as a limited supply of transplant organs or new vaccines where there there are more qualified recipients than there are donors. It says so in the very first sentence of the article. You chose to leave out of your post the fact that his article was limited to organ donations and scarce vaccines. Why did you decide to do that?
And, by the way, don't you think it would have been helpful if your readers had known that Dr. Emanuel was one of the leading opponents of assisted suicide. Of course, that would have blown a large hole in your thesis. Better to simply mislead.
hey Mauro, you spelled you name wrong - I think it should be "moron" - just because you don't agree doesn't mean there isn't truth to his analysis - buttnugget !
In Obama's defense America hasn't been a free republic since WWII. The SS America is on the same path as RMS Titanic I'm afraid.

Van Jones was founder of STORM, once you read that rethoric the picture comes full cirle, and the picture of this man is clear.

Then to top it off, i read in a San Fransico paper someone said "Van Jones" isnt his real name. I was unable to verify that he graduated from Yale, and i cant find any bar assoication that he belongs to. So im unable to verify if he is even an attorney as he says.
All of these Czar need to be reviewed by congress before they are allowed to enter the white house.
Van Jones Resigns as Obama's Green Jobs Czar ff.im/-7Jhr0
One down only 20 or so more to go...plus impeach Obama...enough of the socialist,marxists &communists in DC
"Typical scared bigoted commentary" - Mauro
Please go back to your Masters and let them know that "the party line" of throwing out "racist" at people who disagree is no longer acceptable.
It's been used too much, too often, and too illogically at this poitn and has lost all effect, much like the little boy who cried "Wolf" too many times.
it has also had two very bad effects. it has drawn far too much attention to the presiodent's own racism, and the radical racism of those he surrounds himself with. It has also given too many real racist the shelter of not being able to take the label seriously.
The rascist communists real name is Anthony K Jones. If an ignorant underqualified socialist Pres wanted to start a race war, or "create a crisis, we like crisis", this is a good start for Obama. Then he could try to impose martial law, which I invite, then we shall see what true Americans are capable of against a tyrant!
hey effenmotero from the way you write, and the fact that you choose to mount personal attacks I think you must be the product of brothers and sisters marrying each other. You are as big a biggot as they come, and you hide behind the liberal democrat cloak of feigning intelligence. Wake up slug and get out of the slime trail you guys leave wherever you go!
I am going to take Obama's advice and judge him by the people with whom he surrounds himself. I judge him very poorly.
