Just goes to show - P.T. Barnum was a genius. You CAN fool some of the people all of the time.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Wait'til Obamacare is fully implemented. His rating could go down into single digits.

How to kill ObamaCare and save the GOP
Wayne Allyn RootPublished October 01, 2013
FoxNews.com

<snip>

REMOVE ALL EXEMPTIONS, EXCEPTIONS, AND WAIVERS TO OBAMACARE.

It’s that simple. The message is: If ObamaCare is so good for the people, then let everyone have it.

Right now. This instant.

The poor, the rich, the big unions, the big corporations, the politically connected, the lawyers, the lobbyists, and of course, Congress, too. Everyone means everyone.

“Everyone” must specifically include Senators, Congressmen, their staffs, Obama himself, Michelle, Sasha and Malia. It’s everyone in the rowboat, or no one.

That's the only GOP demand. Forget defunding -- it's not going to happen. Fund it, but only if Obama agrees to end all exemptions, exceptions, and waivers today.

How’s that for a simple, clear and concise, easy to understand message? A message that puts the GOP clearly on the side of equality and fairness for all.

This is a message a majority of Americans will support. This is a message that puts Obama on the defensive and paints him into a dangerous "no win" corner.

That’s how you win the war with Obama and kill ObamaCare.

That’s how you win the public relations battle.

That’s how you leave the media speechless.

That’s how you outmaneuver Obama.

Think of Obama's only two options at that point. He can either tell the American people that government will stay shut "Because I refuse to force corporations, unions, and Congress to live by the same rules as the rest of you"....or he can immediately re-open the government and fund ObamaCare, but cause a war inside the Democratic Party by abandoning his big corporate donors and unions.

Either way, he loses.

If this was wrestling or MMA fighting, the GOP just flipped Obama on his back. How can he say ”no” to the GOP demand?

Is Obama only for the rich, big corporations, and politically connected? What is he protecting the rich and privileged from?

If ObamaCare is so great, why did he delay it for big corporations?

What about the rest of us? Are we human guinea pigs?

More importantly, how can Obama look into the camera and say that Congress and the president should have the right to different health care than the citizens? Talk about an unwinnable position.

Make the president explain why he will keep the government closed so that congress can have a different health care plan than the rest of us peasants.

Obama has broken the law and violated the Constitution with these special exemptions and waivers.

Hold his feet to the fire.

The GOP isn’t against poor people getting health care. We certainly hate ObamaCare. We know it's a disaster for health care, jobs, and the economy. But if it's the law of the land (for now), then we demand equality for everyone.

If Obama wants the law, let’s ALL have the law. Everyone.

Michelle, Sasha and Malia can wait in the same long lines as the rest of us. So can Congress and their staffs.

So can big corporations like GE, WalMart and Exxon.

So can every union member.

So can every government employee. If the rest of us can’t have “Cadillac health insurance plans” without paying big fines or taxes, then unions and government employees can’t either.

It’s one for all, and all for one. Let’s see Obama oppose that argument.

Let’s see him defend waivers and exemptions for some, while the rest of us get screwed.

Let’s see Obama defend keeping the government closed in order to retain the one-year waiver for big business, while forcing small business and the middle class to suffer immediately.

Obama is between a rock and a hard place. He must agree that everyone gets it today, ready or not, with no exceptions. Or no one gets it.

Suddenly the GOP has turned the tables. We have exposed Obama as the fraud he is.

With this one change in tactics, the GOP represents "equality and fairness for all." Let Obama defend inequality, unfairness, and special favors for the rich and connected.

Checkmate.

ObamaCare is a disaster. The exchanges aren’t ready. Mass confusion reigns.

The American people have no idea how bad this is going to get. But it's clear the unions, big corporations, and Congress understand.

That’s why they desperately want out. From this day forward we let no one out. We are all in this together.

Make Obama own it. Make him tie his friends and donors into it right now -- with no wiggle room. Then watch the fun begin.

Watch the unions and big corporations demand the repeal of ObamaCare.

Watch mass protests in the streets by union members.

Watch the Democratic Party devolve into screaming and fighting matches amongst themselves.

Watch Washington implode as Congress, Congressional staffers, and lobbyists refuse to accept ObamaCare.

In other words, watch the rats desert the sinking ship.

But if Obama keeps the government closed to protect his biggest donors, the public will turn on him with a vengeance.

By November of 2014 every single Democrat who ever voted for this disaster will be thrown out on his or her rear end.

Oh and one big bonus. I can't wait to see the faces of Democrats in Congress when they hear that they must live under the same law as the rest of us. I'd pay for tickets to watch that one.

Many have made this point, but none have stated it so clearly.

I smell a trap.

He did plenty of damage when he won.
We may get to see how much damage can be done in "sore loser" mode.

Elections have consequences.
