Obama's growing enemies list

Who was that guy, y'know, ol' whatsizname...oh yeah, Richard Nixon...he had an enemies list while he was president.

The American Spectator reports on a new White House enemies list:

Just having the appearance of someone who might possibly vote for an opponent of Barack Obama could land them on the President's enemies list where proxies do the dirty work. Political appointees in the Justice Department killed a six-month investigation by career DOJ lawyers into the most blatant voter intimidation case in 40 years. Last November, jack-booted, uniformed, baton-wielding thugs from the New Black Panther Party calling themselves "security" obstructed a Philadelphia polling location and behaved in an intimidating manner toward white voters.

Days after dismissing charges against the menacing thugs, the Justice Department moved in the opposite direction by blocking responsible steps to stem voter fraud. The DOJ barred the administrative procedures Georgia authorities put into place – under federal court guidance -- to verify voter registrations. The DOJ claimed the procedures violated the rights of minority voters.

A de facto Obama enemies list and dirty political machine have been expanding since last year. Obama has established several embarrassing presidential firsts including targeting private individuals by names, assigning a well-known "partisan dirt-digger" and non-lawyer to the White House Counsel's Office to likely gain access to Bush Administration documents protected under attorney-client privilege, and moving the senior political advisor into the West Wing. These are heretofore unseen partisan practices.

Career opposition researcher Shauna Daly left the White House Counsel's Office after a mere month and returned to the Democratic National Committee where using privileged attorney-client information in the opposition research department would set a new low in unethical practices.

Interestingly, the for years, until January 20, 2009, the Democrats were calling for greater Congressional oversight of the executive branch.

Then there are all of these czars...who don't answer to anyone but the Czar of all the Czars.

We live in troubling times, but we must remain resolute as the loyal opposition.

Let's keep doing what were doing, just more often, and more loudly.
