Obama Advisor: America’s Political System Is Not ‘Worthy’ of the ‘Opportunity’ Obama’s Second Term Represents

Dan Pfeiffer: Americas Political System, Republicans Are Not Worthy of the Opportunity Obamas Second Term Represents

President Barack Obama, accompanied by White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, reacts to a reporter’s question about the event he was leaving at the Treasury Department in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013, for outgoing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Credit: AP

Dan Pfeiffer, President Barack Obama’s communications director, recently told The Washington Post that neither America’s political system nor Republicans are “worthy” of the opportunity the president’s second term represents.

“There’s a moment of opportunity now that’s important,” Pfeiffer said. “What’s frustrating is that we don’t have a political system or an opposition party worthy of the opportunity.”

Yes, unfortunately for Democrats, President Obama will have to work with Republicans, who control the majority in the House of Representatives, to get things done. Well, he can also use executive orders as he demonstrated in his first term. “If he is successful, his record could include a variety of legislative achievements that have eluded previous presidents and a place in history as the president who moved the country beyond the wars of the post-Sept. 11 era,” The Washington Post adds.

“Days in your second term are in many ways more important than in your first,” Pfeiffer said, noting that the president’s second-term power is is “an hourglass running out of sand,” so he must move quickly.

Do you agree that Obama’s second term represents an “opportunity” that Republicans and the U.S. political system are simply not “worthy” of?

Arrogance is a weakness which can be expolited. It is a good thing to understand an enemy’s weakness. Arrogance leads to hubris which leads to the downfall.

Obammy has taken his whole re-election team and deputized them to become his propaganda arm, so he can ram his agenda down America’s throat. Even Hitler only had one guy to do his bidding….Gobels.

From their own mouths we hear how disconnected these people are from the rest of the country (especially the part that keeps it moving), and how dangerous they are to our entire way of life and our future. If only there was an entity of government still willing to file impeachment against them for the treasons they are committing every day. Or…an entity from a Higher Authority.

By now each of us with a brain that works correctly knows that O’bowtome has surrounded himself with loons, clowns, sickos, psychopaths, and raging narcissists. This Pfeiffer bum’s remarks are incredibly stupid and they reflect the absurdity that is life in BO’s small world. It’s easy to get depressed thinking about this cabal, but we must turn that depression into rage against the machine and do whatever it takes to remove these sick, sorry fools from office. I say let’s impeach the whole lot of them.

These people don’t believe in God so they make one out of their own, they are under the strong delusion of progressivism and they are legion. I heard a man say he had a vision of Obama signing another law in the books and God said that was the his last abomination, he sent a flood to Washington and throughout the land to destroy these demonic people, in the land there were bright spots of people that God spared. Just asking, who are you going to be? When the people moan, God hears. Pray, get yourself right with God. Tyrants all fall and their kingdoms are taken from them, this man has a lot of karma coming his way and it’s not going to be the good kind.

Obama is a tyrant…we deserve better than this sorry excuse for a President who hates everything America stands for including MLK’s dream. This man must be stopped. He is an enemy of the state.

Mr pfieffer, his boss, and their ilk are beginning to do what all good marxist socialist power holders do and that is with great arrogance, they over reach. Now they are starting to push law abiding Americans around trying to consolidate their grip on political power, and that is simply ill advised.
If they were as smart as they feel about themselves and they somehow start trying to control their massive narcissistic egos they will come to realize that Americans are a tolerant lot but there is even a limit to that. They had better at least try to start pretending that they are working through our established political system because the facade has worn off. They are being seen for who they are.
If not then, then from what I see and hear in all the media, I am deeply concerned that as Thomas Jefferson so wisely and prophetically predicted the tree will be watered, and sooner than later.
I never thought I would see the day.

Sometime in recent history, I cannot say exactly when, half of this flippen country got a frontal lobotomy, removing all power of reason and common sense. What happened to our standards, morally, politically, financially, spiritually, patriotically, human rights, etc,,,,,Where did everybody go? How can you possibly get snowed by this guy? When did the evident quit being evident? What happened to our fellow Americans? To suck up to this flaming narcissistic socialist……we have gone way past nightmarish. Like the movie “Inception”, wake me up,….wake me up………WAKE ME UP!!!!!!!!
wake me up, …wake me up

REPLY TO SENDTHEMETEORS (aka Send the Media)

You are so free of the ravages of intelligence. You are a true progressive communist tool. You can’t even interpret data.
Data: There are 207,643,594 eligible voters in the USA. Some 65,899,660 living and dead people voted for Obama in 2012, some voted numerous times. All together 126,831,812 people did not vote for Obama in 2012. That is not indicative of a ‘high’ approval rating.
So you watched a television screen where a few people were applauding and yelling at the Prez and the First Lady. You surmise that, as you say, “American’s approval of the President of the United States is high.” This claim is baseless, not based on any proof.
There is no substance to back up your claims in any of your posts.

I understand what he means since they wrote about Obama in the Bible;
Isaiah 14:13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

Oh if only we had Cuba’s political system. That one is definitely worthy of the Anointed One’s presidency.

You know, Cuba is 90 miles south. Why doesn’t Obama take the TSA and conquer it already, install himself there and leave us alone.

Now there’s a guy I can actually respect. Instead of hiding behind the usual political double-speak, he just comes right out and says “We have to change the American political system.” That’s what Barry and his manipulator Soros want and that’s what we will have to fight for the next four years. But at least we now have one of Barry’s clowns saying it loud and proud. BTW, if you libs want a new constitution (which you obviously do), recall that some states may not ratify it, choosing to go our own deluded but apparently free and prosperous ways. Maybe all the east and west coast states will form up into the Enlightened Liberal States of Amerika, and the rest of us can have the old name? Can we just sit down tomorrow and divvy it up? We can be fair. You get Detroit, we get Dallas? You get Chicago, we get Kansas City? You get Washington D.C., we get any town with more than 10 smart people?

Show of hands, how many of you still think you can “reason” or “argue civilly”, or “educate” or “convince” this guy and all your Fellow Dumbcits he represents? You now know, unless your Denial of Reality has reached the Clinical Stage, that you can’t Outvote them.
Your fellow Dumbcits are going to find a way to Enslave or Liquidate you. These Zombies have been working on it since Teddy R, and those of you who ain’t in Total Denial now recognize 1. They outnumber you. 2. What you’ve been doing for a Century has NEVER worked.
Refusing to do what you need to do to rid yourselves of Your Zombie Fellow Dumbcits simply PROVES their premise that you are Mentally Ill.
You can Burn Em, Blow em away, or Be eaten by them, Comrades*, but unless and until you Begin, Wage, and Win American Revolution v3.0 you will NEVER AGAIN have an Inaugural that actually REVERSES the Destruction of Your God Endowed Unalienable Individual Rights.

*I use this not in the “Red” sense, but in that of Barry Fitzgeral as “Mickaleen Og Flynn” in “The Quiet Man”.
“Well it’s a fine, soft, night. I think I’ll go and join me [IRA} Comrades for a drink and talk a little Treason.”

Is it any wonder Obama thinks he is god with sycophants telling him things like this.

Obama will never be remembered as a great, good or mediocre president, he will be remembered as the man that destroyed America.

One day he will stand before God, then he will be forgotten forever. He too can change, but that would take an act of God.

Okay people, the thin veil hiding the liberals desperation to convert the U.S. into a socialist state is completely gone now. Please stop with your ridiculous mime acts that there is a wall there that you cannot see through. Please wake up to the fact that we are on a runaway locomotive to communism / socialism / Marxism (pick your brand, they really amount to the same for the freedom of the people). Do your research, study history and decide what this will mean for the fate of America. Only then can we derail this train and begin to rebuild the America that our forefathers purchased for all free Americans with the price of their blood. The only other option will be for patriots to stand up and stop the progressives thievery of our nation and once again refresh the Tree of Liberty “with the blood of patriots and tyrants”.

“What’s frustrating is that we don’t have a political system or an opposition party worthy of the opportunity.”

Translation: “We can’t do whatever we want, and it really sucks!”

Thank goodness for the obstacles that the founders/ancient Greeks came up with to “frustrate” tyrants.

They should be frustrated.

Let’s hope Americans wake up and fight back.

  It’s not like we have not been here before. Larry P. Arnns’ interview with Hugh Hewitt, entitaled Time to Give Up or Time to Fight On,( also in the December 2012 Imprimis.) gives the normal thinking american a pretty good perspective of where we stand.
  Also an old friend of mine once said ” Don’t give-up an hour before the miracle happens ” Loved that old fart!
