Obama’s Goal: Break House Republicans

As you know, President Obama’s doing everything he can to defeat us. We’re the last line of defense before Democrats run all of Washington.

The Washington Post story that came out Sunday should scare you. It scares us.

It quotes Congressman Steve Israel, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as saying, “The president understands that to get anything done, he needs a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. To have a legacy in 2016, he will need a House majority in 2014, and that work has to start now.”

This should scare the hell out of you:

“After delivering his election victory speech in November, Obama walked off the Chicago stage and made two phone calls related to his political plans — one to Israel and one to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), the last Democratic House speaker.”

“Obama has committed to raising money for fellow Democrats, agreed to help recruit viable candidates, and launched a political nonprofit group dedicated to furthering his agenda and that of his congressional allies.”

“The president has also pledged to put his formidable campaign organization, now known as Organizing for Action, behind Democratic House candidates and to find ways to share its rich trove of voter data with the party’s campaign committee.”

After the President’s Inauguration Speech, Speaker Boehner said Obama’s goal was to “annihilate” the Republicans during his second term, which the Democrats denied. Now we know it’s true.

As The Washington Post article noted, “The goal is to flip the Republican-held House back to Democratic control, allowing Obama to push forward with a progressive agenda on gun control, immigration, climate change and the economy during his final two years in office, according to congressional Democrats, strategists and others familiar with Obama’s thinking.”

We cannot let this happen.
