Obama's Thuggery: "Punch back twice as hard"
White House to Democrats: 'Punch back twice as hard'
Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort.
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told senators to focus on the insured and how they would benefit from “consumer protections" in the overhaul, such as ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs.
They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.
And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.
“They are just helping us understand the fringe that is trying to mess up our meetings,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’
June 14, 2008 ........note date this is from last year during the campaign we discussed it here at Theodore's World and how Obama would be exactly like this if he won. ~ Wild Thing
Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race from Philadelphia.
Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight?
That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
The comment drew some laughs and applause. But it also struck a chord with his Republican rival. John McCain’s campaign immediately accused the Democratic candidate of playing the politics of fear. They also mentioned that Obama said he would use a gun that would be illegal under Obama’s plans to cut down on illegal firearms.
“Barack Obama’s call for ‘new politics’ is officially over. In just 24 hours, Barack Obama attacked one of America’s pioneering women CEOs, rejected a series of joint bipartisan town halls, and said that if there’s a political knife fight, he’d bring a gun,” McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.
Obama made the comment in the context of warning donors that the general election campaign against McCain could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’” he said. A supporter yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”
“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.
September 17, 2008
Obama has tried to assure donors and voters that he's been schooled by Chicago politics.
"I'm skinny but I'm tough," he says.
In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.
"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

Wild Thing's comment........
Memo to Obama: Obama, if you punch like you throw, you’re gonna lose.
The White House must be freaking out to the point of panic at the push-back to their plan. They don't get that people aren't going to those town meetings because of advertising, but rather because they are angry at what is being pushed down their throats.
Violence against American citizens, by word and deed, is becoming official government policy. Obama better learn something fast......this is America. We are not Cuba, or any other country that will allow this. Most of us have been born in this land of the free, and it is a part of who we are as a people, our DNA has FREEDOM in it you freak Obama. We believe in fighting for it for other countries as well and have done so and we sure as hell will fight to keep our own country free.
And another thing, your insult to our 4th of July , Independence Day by inviting known terrorists to celebrate it was HUGE against what they day means in this country. YOU Obama are the most dangerous man in our country.
Guess he’s looking for a fight. If he’s not careful, he may get one.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

These are American Citizens that Obama is instructing congressmen to push back against. Since when does Congress push back against their constituents? According to the Declaration of Independence, Congressmen "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed". But then, King Obama doesn't believe that.
Arrogance, simple elitist arrogance to tell congressmen to fight against their constituents.

Locked and loaded here. I believe this is the first time in my lifetime an American president advocated physical assault against American citizens.

They better get me with the first punch-they won't get another shot. Could you imagine what Hell would have broken loose if Bush had something like that? OMG! We would have had riots in the streets, reporters calling for his head, everything would have just gone into a chaotic mess! How dare a sitting President say things like that? How immature and childish.

BobF., your right, King Obama is
exactly what he thinks he is.

Pete, DITTO that!
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 8, 2009 07:29 PM
Tom, see that is the thing too, I don't
think ever a president has said and done
such things. I bet some may have wished
they could but they knew better.
Obama does it and to him it is natural
to rule tyrant style. grrrrrrrrrrr
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 8, 2009 07:32 PM
Lynn, your so right.
And Bush had 8 long years of being
attacked in such horrible ways.
People with posters saying they
wanted him killed. sheesh and Bush
never said a word.
