Obama's Determination & Resolve to Push Radical Agenda "Only Stronger" Following Mass Loss
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, January 21, 2010, 5:56 AM
If you thought the shocking democratic loss in Massachusetts would sway the radicals in the White House, you would be wrong. Barack Obama’s political arm, Organizing For America, sent word out yesterday that the president’s determination and resolve to push the far left’s radical agenda is “only stronger” following Tuesday’s loss.
From an OFA message to supporters yesterday:
Yesterday’s disappointing election results show deep discontent with the pace of change. I know the OFA community and the President share that frustration.
We also saw what we knew to be true all along: Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn. While it doesn’t take away the sting of this loss, there is no road to real change without setbacks along the way.
We could have simply sought to do things that were easy, that wouldn’t stir up controversy. But changes that aren’t controversial rarely solve the problem.
Our country continues to face the same fundamental challenges it faced yesterday. Our health care system still needs reform. Wall Street still needs to be held accountable. We still need to create good jobs. And we still need to continue building a clean energy economy.
The President isn’t walking away from these challenges. In fact, his determination and resolve are only stronger. We must match that commitment with our own.
But it won’t be easy. Real change never is.
Hat Tip Mitch S.
Of course, it should be noted that in Obama’s mind George W. Bush is to blame for Coakley’s loss.

The President may be resolved in continuing his push, but the big question is: are the Dems in congress going to follow???? If they think that is a winning strategy, then the winning back of both the House and Senate for the Republicans will be very likely.
sandy commented:
I was listening to Doug Shoen this morning on Fox and he said that at the State of the Union Obama needs to make a course correction away from Big Government programs to Private Industry to create more jobs. Although a DNC Democrat and a Moderate he sounds more like a Conservative. Will Obama use Scott Brown’s election to change course for the good of the country or will he continue on his leftist agenda of pain for the American people? Sad to say most of us have no clue what he will do.
sandy commented:
I should say that Doug Shoen is a DLC Democrat. This is a moderate group which has been totally ignored by Obama.
Militant Conservative commented:
Knew he would not back down. Alinsky’s teachings stress this. He is a good little socialist and this is the BEST chance to screw up America they will ever get.
Obama WANTS to destroy the capitalist system.
“We are just days away from fundamentally remaking America” He said it and I believe he is doing it.
Jack commented:
This is to be expected. They’re Alinskyites. Embrace it. More local and national Tea Parties to come as a result. More name calling by the press…more converts to the cause.
Militant Conservative commented:
Sandy, Obama intends to distroy/weaken to the point of collapse the free market system. I have no other place to go, neither does anyone else in America.
This is why the fight is going ugly. Socialists don’t quit and America won’t either. This is a fight for all the marbles.
sdan commented:
Well Sandy I would think it’s safe to say Obama will say a lot of things that sound good and then turn around and do just the opposite. It’s what he has done all year.

Obama’s credibility is gone. He’s lied every day he’s been in office. People aren’t going to just take his ‘word’ on anything again. The Progressives haven’t learned a thing from the Massachusetts upset because they are too busy still blaming Bush. When even their constituents are getting to the point where that doesn’t hold water for them. It will be interesting to see how many Dems start pushing back against Obama to save their own skins.
Tom63010 commented:
President Obama said to George Stephanopoulos the problem is the last eight years…he is now 12.5% correct. The last eight years would be 2001 -2009.
I agree 2009 really stunk!
J commented:
Perhaps this serves as a good education for the voters….a costly one. Here in MA I, for the first time in my life, heard the voters say they would vote for a republican because we need “balance”! For how many years has MA been, gladly, ruled by one party? And now, all of a sudden, they see a benefit to having balance?
Dell commented:
With each passing day, Obama’s intentions become more and more clear..and terribly frightening. And, despite this huge statement made by the voters of Massachusetts, he fully intends on doing as much damage as possible in the time he has remaining. And he at least has some strong support for doing so over on Capital Hill. That, it seems, is his mission.
Our mission is to stop him before George Soros destroys America. MoveOn.org is STILL in charge – make no mistake about it. And George Soros owns this President and most of Congress.
A 41 seat change in the House sends Pelosi, Murtha, Bonnie Fwank, & Company PACKING. A change of only five Senate seats would pretty much Destroy Harry Reid’s lock on anything and everything Socialist. These are realistic goals and the time to advance the cause is NOW.
kate commented:
We, The People, is stronger than a king and certainly stronger than a marxist demagogue.
In the words of a famous president “Bring It On”.

thank you to all Senators in opposition!!

anon commented:
How about deep consent for the “change” (read: agenda) itself?
BurmaShave commented:
“Our health care system still needs reform.”
And the main reason why it needs reform is because the Democrats have been holding it hostage by blocking – i.e., saying NO – to tort reform for all of living memory, so that they could screw over the nation and force it into the present “crisis” to be exploited.
vikingTX commented:
What I find amazing is just how convinced Obama is that his is the correct way when all of history shows the opposite. For a supposedly smart guy, his mind is incredibly closed. (As are his eyes and ears.)
Scott commented:
Well he said himself that he wasn’t speaking to the American people enough, so he probably just thinks that he hasn’t gotten his message to the people and we are simply confused about his real goals, not that we just disagree with them.
Valerie commented:
Now we know for sure that the Organization for America is staffed by bloomin’ idiots.
“Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn.”
It is a romantic an naiive notion, to think that a sign of wise action is enormous opposition. The rest of the country is neither stupid, nor lazy, nor hostile toward their neighbors.
Deep, strong opposition to proposed law in the United States is a sign that there is something about the proposal that is not going to work well.
Alana commented:
“Yesterday’s disappointing election results show deep discontent with the pace of change.”
Ahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahah! *wipes tears from eyes*
OK, now I’ll go back and read the rest of the piece.
Tom63010 commented:
President Obama is an ideologue. He, like his advisers will focus on his base, the radical left, as the ones that are angry and believe that they voted for Scott Brown to send a message.
I watched MSNBC on Tuesday night because I want to see the meltdown firsthand.
Last night Chris Matthews had an excellent interview with Howard Dean who did polling with his Democracy for America (George Soros is the biggest contributor, go figure), which found this theory.
NOTE: If these respondents are telling them lies to lead the Liberals to their demise I back them wholeheartedly!
He literally laughed in Deans face and I hope that these IDIOTS run with this theory and show America what kind of radical they are.

Obama is Louise and the Progressives are Thelma.
Progressives: Let’s keep going.
Obama: What do you mean?
Progressives: Go!
Obama: Are you sure?
Progressives: Yeah! Yeah!
Scene ends as Chris Matthews chases the car as it goes speeding off a cliff!

“In fact, his determination and resolve are only stronger. ”
The same can be said about we the people. Let’s see who wins.
Joel commented:
Obama has be a failure serving his country.
Perhaps he would better serve by being an organizer with Acorn.
Joanne commented:

Sounds to me like Obama hasn’t done anything constructive to date and knows it.
Thumper commented:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You go boy!
Bobbi commented:
He’s totally out of touch with reality and the people.
MikeL commented:
“Yesterday’s disappointing election results show deep discontent with the pace of change.” – So, Scott Brown’s victory was a message from conservatives and independents who think Obama isn’t changing things fast enough?
“We also saw what we knew to be true all along: Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn.” – So, now Scott Brown’s victory is just another example of conservatives and independents opposing the change that wasn’t coming fast enough?
And this guy is supposed to Harvard educated!
MikeL commented:
P.S.
Here’s my list of changes that Obama can’t make fast enough:
1. Stop pretending you ever planned to work for unity.
2. Stop pretending you ever planned to change the corruption in Washington.
3. Stop pretending you’re working hard for working the working class.
4. Stop making such laughably contradictory statements.

Yep, smartest President evah! Just look at his choice of spokesman.

Not quite a lame duck
It may be a trifle audacious to label Obama a lame duck this early in his administration but he has certainly earned another ornithological epithet, albatross.
There’s an old joke about the scariest words a citizen can hear, “Hello. I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” After the debacle in Massachusetts and the Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey last year, where Obama personally campaigned for the Democrat candidates, it is probably safe to say that the scariest words a Democrat running for office can hear now are:
“I’m the President and I’m here to help.”
One has to wonder, how many Democrat candidates do you suppose will want this bird hanging around their necks at election time?

If by ‘country’ you mean America this is not Zero’s country. He and Soros and the rest couldn’t care less about America. For Zero everything is about control of the people. Reform is control, regulation is control, taxes are control, organizing is control. Every policy from the Obama WH is about control. He does not have freedom in his vocabulary. It is hard to remove freedom from a free people and replace it with control and this is the struggle Zero has begun.

This is the last fight via the ballot box. Should it fail
your going to see what Government has always feared.
An armed citizenry, and it will be hunting season.
You can go quitely or not, your choice.
Don Rodrigo commented:
I’m all in favor of Obama, the Democrats, and assorted Moonbats continuing to aggressively push their agenda. I even want them to double down.
I don’t want Americans who are angry now to be lulled into a false sense of security by the above culprits pretending to “heed the people” by temporarily pretending to moderate their ways. That is an old trick used by addicts, gamblers, grifters, and Democrats.
