Obama Takes a Page From Hitler's Mein Kampf
Obama Takes a Page From Hitler's Mein Kampf:
"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."
--- Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf
To obama and all other socialists:

Y'all - it's a "manufactured" quote that surfaced in 2004 as a part of a fictional letter.
What Hitler wrote:
What was in the 2004 fictional letter written by Rabbi Daniel Lapin and posted on WND:
Quote:
Finally, dear Julius, you will remember what I frequently said and wrote in “Mein Kampf”: “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the peoplevii.” I said that as long as we explain how the government is working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. It is truly heartwarming to see how well this lesson has been learned by some Americans. In the name of “the children,” incursions into the private lives of American citizens have been made that we Nazis would have gazed at with open-mouthed admiration.

Why all the drama and surrounding yourself with children. Shouldn't the merit of his decisions / executive actions stand on their own.
Irrespective of who or how sensationalism may have been used in the history of man, this President is all about it. He owns how he is perceived and judged. I find nothing honorable in his character or leadership. He is superficial and self-serving.

Exactly my thoughts on this. Rather than putting letters from 8 year old children to justify your policy decisions, directly and concisely give us your best case.
F'n theater is what we get.

I wonder how many children he'll surround himself with when he signs another pro abortion bill?????
Here's another one. He wants background checks on everybody trying to acquire a weapon, and he's spent millions keeping his background sealed....
He has "the codes", the planets mightiest weapons, and we can't do a background check on him....??

Does this mean that you think that the "other side" making up shit is baaad, but if there is something made-up that suits your agenda it's fine and dandy?

Soley expressed as my opinion based on my perceptions. Although I know I am not alone in the sentiment.

Ya know... we have major constitutional and legal issues in which WE are 'in the right' and can pursue with valid, cogent, reasoned arguments.
Focusing on trivial matters such as surrounding oneself with children (soldiers, elderly, infirm, farmers, whatever) for propaganda purposes deflects from the arguments we should be making, and falls into THEIR narrative of US!
It's the way political battles are lost. (It's the way elections are, and recently WERE, lost, as well.) MOO
Added: To me, this is much like the Liberal/Anti-War crowds' focus on President GW Bush's landing on the carrier in a flight suit with the banner visible. Remember that snit? We pointed out how wrong they were. And they were. How is this different from that? Just sayin'...

I agree with you. My remarks regarding my perceptions were not limited to this instance, merely reinforced.
The highlighted portion in blue is so true, but I respectively submit, it's also the way they are won.

I agree with ZD's points, and to go along with his stated need for the 'right' to focus on the issues w/o the endlessly distracting and derailing hyperbole, here's an example of how the "left" views it.

Republicans Accuse Obama of Using Position as President to Lead Country
NewYorker, 15 Jan 2014
Responding to reports that President Obama is considering signing as many as nineteen executive orders on gun control, Republicans in Congress unleashed a blistering attack on him today, accusing Mr. Obama of “cynically and systematically using his position as President to lead the country.”
Spearheading the offensive was Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who charged the President with the “wanton exploitation of powers that are legally granted to him under the U.S. Constitution.”
Calling him the “Law Professor-in-Chief,” Rep. Stockman accused Mr. Obama of “manipulating a little-known section of the Constitution,” Article II, which outlines the power of the President.
“President Obama looks down the list of all of the powers that are legally his and he’s like a kid in a candy store,” Rep. Stockman said. “It’s nauseating.”
The Texas congressman said that if Mr. Obama persists in executing the office of the Presidency as defined by the Constitution, he could face “impeachment and/or deportation.”
Noting that the President has not yet signed the executive orders on gun control, Rep. Stockman said that he hoped his stern words would serve as a wake-up call to Mr. Obama: “Mr. President, there’s still time for you to get in line. But if you continue to fulfill the duties of President of the United States that are expressly permitted in the Constitution, you are playing with fire.”

You are far from alone - there are perhaps millions that see what you see, experience and perceive what you perceive - and share so eloquently.
Expressing your personal, well written observations may or may not loose another election - but I appreciate them. I submit that there may be a few others.
The frustration level with this administration is growing - and you are not alone.

It's going to be very tough for the next 4 years (+ a few days) then, huh?
While millions agree, millions more disagree. IF WE keep this kind of 'discourse' up, our millions will continue to shrink, and their millions will continue to grow (or the 'fence sitters' will... and as my mom used to say, "same difference".)
Add: I should have said very tough for the next TWO years, and then UNBEARABLE after that! IF WE keep this up, we WILL lose the Senate in the 2014 elections. Picture that? (I know... some will say, "That's not going to happen, WE will take the Senate then!" Right! I'm still waiting for that "Romney Landslide"... are they still counting votes, or something?  )
