WASHINGTON - October 26, 2009 – Illegitimate President Obama's decision to employ bare-knuckled Chicago tactics in his street fight with Fox News has provoked a growing backlash from across the political spectrum that, left unchecked, could complicate his larger agenda, experts warn.
With key gubernatorial races looming in Virginia and New Jersey, Obama also risks alienating the all-important independent voters who could prove decisive in those races.
Moderate Democrats have begun speaking out against the regime's crusade against dissent, now that it has spread beyond conservative media to include the insurance industry and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others.
"There's no reason to gratuitously piss off all those companies," Rep. Jim Moran (D-Virg.) told Politico.com Friday. "The Chamber isn't an opponent."
The Chamber of Commerce was drawn into the brawl despite its support for Obama's stimulus package and cash-for-clunkers program. The schism began when it opposed the controversial cap-and-trade legislation that the House passed in June. When it also opposed the regime's plan to create a financial protection agency for investors, Obama declared its advertising "completely false." Top aides then openly questioned whether the Chamber really was still representing the business community.
According to Chamber Executive Vice President R. Bruce Josten, companies that refuse to cave in to White House pressure "seem to be the recipients of vilification and invectives very quickly from the White House attacking them."
Of course, previous regimes have had their run-ins with the White House press corp. But the illegitimate Obama regime is unique in repeatedly singling out its opponents in confrontational ways that tend to turn off independents. In fact, pundits believe one reason for illegitimate President Obama's strength with independents in November was his promise to bring a new tone of post-partisan politics to the nation's capital.
