Standard Obama Procedure- Learn it!

June 11, 2009 on 11:25 pm | In National Political | No Comments

SOP (Standard Obama Procedure): He’s been around long enough now. The way he operates is becoming clear. We can begin to outline his process, methods and strategies. This is NOT about ideology. This is about the way he maneuvers as a political boss. Were he a Conservative, you’d find the same modus operendi at the crime scene.

1.) He force-feeds. He’s relentless. He is like that salesman who puts incredible pressure on you- the salesman who keeps telling you that you must buy NOW or the consequences will be dire.

2.) He overwhelms. He pushes multiple initiatives with aggressive urgency and simultaneously. His goal is to shut people down like a computer that’s been fed too much data at once. He hopes that those who are still engaged will be distracted, allowing bad programs to slip through.

3.) He is opportunistic. He is sharp and alert and constantly scanning for events that he can utilize to his own advantage. He is resourceful; able to make a crisis out of very little or nothing at all.

4.) He uses words as shields. He says he is not promoting “socialized medicine”. What he promotes will function much like socialized medicine but because he is a totalitarianist and not a strict socialist he denies not what his program is but what it called. He hides his intentions behind the denotations and connotations of words.

5.) He has stock phrases that he uses to manage public perception.
a.) Whenever he desires to push through a law or policy that is beyond his proper authority, he always makes a statement to the effect that he doesn’t want to take over, control or nationalize this or that because he is too busy- that he “has too much on his plate with China, North Korea” and so forth to want to control anything.
b.) Whenever he wants to do something but doesn’t want people to realize it he says he’s “not particularly INTERESTED” in doing it. A perfect example: as a candidate he said he was not interested in re-instating the Fairness Doctrine. Gullible reporters, pundits and even some Republicans reported that “Obama does not support the Fairness Doctrine.” Wrong. He said that the concept wasn’t the main issue attracting his attention at THAT time. In no way was it a statement of opposition to the Fairness Doctrine. He’s said he’s “not interested in running GM”. That only means he’s not excited about day-to-day operations, NOT the he opposes putting that or any company under his control. Trained underlings use similar ploys: “We’re NOT LOOKING at the UK’s health system” That only means that they are not singling it out for study now. It does NOT mean that it won’t be duplicated eventually, or, the Pay Czar “is not FOCUSED on pay caps.” That just means that it is not priority at that moment. It does NOT mean that it will not be his focus tomorrow.

5.) He uses derision against opponents. The more he fears them, the snider his remarks.

6.) He is not encumbered by the truth, by facts, or by a responsibility to give a true and honest picture of his agenda to the people.

Know your opponent. Learn to recognize and anticipate his moves. Never take your eyes away from him or, by extension, his administration. Learn to counteract his salvos before he can even launch them.—Sheila J. Murphy, Editor, the Cool Conservative web magazine, www.thecoolconservative.com
