The president vows to fight against letting you hear all sides of an issue
President Obama continues his class warfare in his Saturday radio address. He bemoans the Supreme Court's ruling that stuck down part of McCain-Feingold and other unconstitutional laws.
Obama said, "This ruling opens the floodgates for an unlimited amount of special interest money into our democracy. It gives the special interest lobbyists new leverage to spend millions on advertising to persuade elected officials to vote their way — or to punish those who don’t." Ripped from the front page of The New York Times, a powerful corporation exempted from McCain-Feingold.
Obama continues in this vein: "It will make it more difficult to pass commonsense laws to promote energy independence because even foreign entities would be allowed to mix in our elections.
"It would give the health insurance industry even more leverage to fend off reforms that would protect patients.
"We don’t need to give any more voice to the powerful interests that already drown out the voices of everyday Americans."
That's right. We need to cover the ears of the gullible American voters lest they hear something that persuades them the politicians don't have all the answers. We must gag all those who might join forces and resources to get their message out. Only Obama is the one.
So, his answer is more unconstitutional law to drag on and on for years in the courts, meanwhile gagging people who would like to speak, such as the makers of "Hillary: The Movie." Next time it might be "Obama: The Movie."
"I instructed my administration to get to work immediately with Members of Congress willing to fight for the American people to develop a forceful, bipartisan response to this decision," the president said. "We have begun that work, and it will be a priority for us until we repair the damage that has been done."
Bipartisan — yes, McCain is putatively a Republican — the politicans of both parties against the rest of us, who still hold to free speech and press, assembly and redress of grievances — four of the five rights in the First Amendment.
