Obama Target List Includes Missourians Sam and Jeff Fox

The Wall Street Journal article speaks for itself. Kimberly Strassell reminds us that "Richard Nixon's "enemies list" appalled the country". There are few Presidents the left loves to loathe more than Nixon.

From the article: 

President Barack Obama, the most powerful man on the planet, singles you out by name. His campaign brands you a Romney donor, shames you for "betting against America," and accuses you of having a "less-than-reputable" record. The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money.

Are you worried?

There are few things on which the hard left and hard right agree, but U.S. Presidents abusing the office, specifically using it to intimidate citizens is unacceptable. The very act of threatening the donors of one's opponent is very hard ball and happens way too much, even in Missouri. However, while threatening donors to one's opponents crosses a line in civil society, doing so with the ability to make good on your threats deserves swift and severe rebuke. Who can deliver the rebuke?

In times of tyranny, free societies rely on a bold an independent press to lead the charge for liberty. When a Missourian is threatened, as is the case with Sam and Jeff Fox, it is the unique duty of all of the major Missouri media to speak up. They all link to this blog. Hopefully they read this and show some integrity and do their job.

Strassell explains, "...Mr. Obama, who acknowledges no rules. This past week, one of his campaign websites posted an item entitled "Behind the curtain: A brief history of Romney's donors." In the post, the Obama campaign named and shamed eight private citizens who had donated to his opponent. Describing the givers as all having "less-than-reputable records," the post went on to make the extraordinary accusations that "quite a few" have also been "on the wrong side of the law" and profiting at "the expense of so many Americans."

These are people like Paul Schorr and Sam and Jeffrey Fox, investors who the site outed for the crime of having "outsourced" jobs."

So they now equate a common business practice like "outsourcing" that is most certainly invoked by 90+% of every business interest that ever gave a dollar to an Obama camapaign to criminal activity warranting the placement of such people and businesses on a watch list.

Mr. President, yesterday I engaged in the crime of cavorting with an "outsource" technical support firm. In about an hour I will do it again. Stop me before I sin again!

This president has done a countless number of things that have disgusted me to a level of disgust that I have never felt as long as I've been paying attention to politics. He brings shame to the office nearly everyday and to all the brave men and women that fought for our liberty in all military conflicts. These soldiers fought for a freedom, a country, and a system of government that shunned these type of politicians. Now we have a Chicago politician posing as a President and his style of politics goes against everything this country stands for. I'm ashamed to say that he is our President and I'm ashamed of a media that lets this President and his organization get away with the atrocities that they commit everyday all in the name of political power. I would give everything I have if I knew it would ensure he is not reelected. The things this administration does and the effects it has on our country, both present and in the future, are the kind of things I would expect an enemy of this country to do as part of a larger plan designed to destroy this country just as a Manchurian candidate is designed to do. Ask Bill Ayers what the plan is and you'll get great insight into what O'Bama's plan is.

Thank you, Mr.Engrav, for your post. Saved me much time in coming up with an equally civil post to express my thoughts on this article. I concur with your post, wholeheartedly. Come November, we can only hope the people will kick this Chicago poser back to where he came from. Again, thank you.

As the election is closing in, Obama presidency will try every trick to get favor of voters. This case of Romney's donor can be one of those. I subscribed his daily emails, and I must say, Obama tried every possible marketing gimmick to promote his campaign this year.
