President Obama is really abusing his power and looking more and more like a Putin than an American President:
If President Obama didn’t have enough on his plate already, he’s now thrust himself into the middle of a statewide race that has sparked growing resentment among some New York Democrats.
Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) asked Obama to implore Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) against challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in the Democratic primary next year, FOX News has learned.
And the OSM moves forward. Here’s an interesting point for you:
It’s rare for a president to inject himself into statewide politics. And a host of New York political insiders with ties to several House Democrats say they’re angry that the president even got involved.
“What? You can’t have a primary? It’s decided in backroom deals?” asked a source who spoke to FOX News on the condition of anonymity. “What if someone told Obama he couldn’t have a primary and Hillary (Clinton) would just be the nominee? Where would he be? It’s an outrage.”
Obama’s power and influence continues to grow, but if you look hard enough, like in this story, you’ll see that Americans are starting to not be very happy with what’s going on within our government. Another example is this poll which states that 54% of Americans think that Obama is proposing too much of an increase in government spending. Also:
The Obama administration consistently uses the word “invest” or “investment” instead of government “spending.” Even so, most Americans don’t make the distinction as fully 78 percent say it means spending their tax dollars, not saving them.
Some days it looks like people are paying attention, yet on other days it just doesn’t.
Update: I wonder if Obama had anything to do with this. I would be surprised if he didn’t since he was buddying up to him as the great convert even though he hasn’t changed his philosophy, just his party in order to keep his seat. How sickening…
