RNC Chair on Top Obama Adviser: ‘He’s Living In An Alternative Universe’

Priebus on Axelrod: Living In An Alternative Universe

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was frank right off the bat with David Gregory on Meet the Press Sunday. Speaking with Gregory immediately following David Axelrod, Priebus said that the senior campaign adviser for President Obama must be “living in an alternative universe,” after Axelrod repeatedly defended Democrat attacks against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s “moral core” and became emotional in defending the President against New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s claim that Barack Obama has become “a bystander in the Oval Office:”

 

Priebus went on to describe President Obama as “The Great Divider” and criticized those who defend President Obama by blaming cooperation, or perceived lack there of, from the Republican Congress.

“This absurdity that somehow we’re hurting as an economy because of Republicans, it doesn‘t appeal to anyone’s logic,” said Priebus. “Nancy Pelosi controlled the Congress for two out of three years that President Obama’s been President. Harry Reid controlled the Senate for two of those three years. Guess what? We are living under the Barack Obama Democratic policies today.”

Priebus asserted that Americans do not think that the president is “real anymore.”

“He’s waking up this morning wishing his numbers were as good as Jimmy Carter’s. Everything he’s touched has gotten worse.”

Priebus went on to criticize the President for not following the debt commission he assembled, campaigning while the supercommittee that he outsourced to deal with the debt crisis failed, and the continued high cost of healthcare despite “Obamacare.”

      DO NOT be fooled by all the smoke and mirrors. What is going on has been planned for 40 years. The “health care” bill (2700 pages etc) had been written 20 years ago, dusted off, more ‘screws’ added, but it’s been in the works for decades.
      THIS IS A PLANNED take over by the Marxists/Communists of the world, now assisted by the Islamic Cult… Obama is no accident. He’s been groomed, trained, and we don’t know where he really came from, but we can see who he really. THIS IS FAR MORE THAN A little Ideology clash…THIS IS the planned take over of AMERICA. IF you think this is anything less, if any of you think this is “BUSINESS AS USUAL” in Politics, and for those of you lemmings who are just going-along-to-get-along (thinking that you’ll have a good place for you/your family when it hits the fan, remember this: ALL of the minons who helped Hitler carry our his dastardly deeds (and Stalin and all EVIL dictators) get killed off as soon as the task is accomplished. The rest end up as SLAVES. The “ruling class” is the very closest circle to the PRESIDENT.
      He has: Stripped our Military; Ruined our ECONOMY; Assaulted our Churches; Controls the flow of food; goods; Controls the AIRWAVES (99.9%) ; Makes laws/rules without any input from CONGRESS; wrecked the Balance of Power; Made us weak Internationally. WHY? TO take us over. To be the DICTATOR of the WORLD. Prove me wrong.

    A few points to ponder……

    1. Axelrod is an IMAGE maker. He can flood the airwaves with tripe that only enhances peoples perception of any individual that has one iota of intelligence and is a silver tongued devil, and make that individual appear to walk on water. Given the fact that the citizens were tired of the same old crap coming from DC, Axelrods job was fairly easy.

    2. I.m not convinced that Axelrod knew the full story behind why Obama wanted to be president. His job was to make a ” silk purse from a sow’s ear ” and he did that in part by relying on US citizens affinity for a hero.

    3. When you take a closer look at the people Obama surrounded himself with, logic should tell you that they were primarily interested in taking this country in a completely different direction than the framers of our constitution intended. Obama may be a powerful orator but in order to be president, one MUST HAVE ….LEADERSHIP ABILITY….. Obama has none.

    4. Serious research will point to a group of energy organizations who saw an opportunity to manipulate a country that needed considerably more leadereship than Obama possessed so they would use him as a FIGUREHEAD.

    5…..to name a few…… Western Edison, Cosmopolitan Electric, Chicago Electric,Commonwealth Edison, PELCO, General Electric,, EXCELON ., Frank M Clark, BUNDELER for Obama, Jeffrey Immelt, JOBS CZAR for Obama, Samuel Skinner, John W Rowe, Christopher M Crane…….just my opinion.

      We‘re in a ’recession’ because of a lying manipulative government that swings on the levers of economic health in order to generate more tax revenue for itself while not understanding (or nor caring about) the consequences of that behavior. Then it spends (the largest portion of) that money outside of the borders of our nation and lies about it.

      Government is on a planned self destructive bent. And (most) Americans are too ignorant to understand it.

    Hey eliasim maybe you missed it but under the G.W.Bush the highest unemployment rate was 6 percent, under obama it has never been below 8.5 percent. Under Bush the economic growth rate was never under 4 percent, under obama it has never been above 2.5. Now maybe in the liberal world view that is considered doing a good job in my world that is a complete failure. If this cretin obama gets another term in office you are looking at an economic collapse. But you and your left wing ideologue cohorts will continue to support this failure. Left wing idiot traitor.

      Your right ZAP – what is happening today in America and around the world is NOT Political – it is theological – written in great details many years ago in the Bible and we see it unfolding right before my eyes. The biggest question I had was “Many would be deceived – even the wisest among us.” I always wondered how would this happen – How is a Wise man going to allow himself to be deceived.

      Some call it drinking the Cool Aid – the Bible calls it being Cursed with a Curse.

      I have a message for everyone that believes – Look up and Pack up – it looks like we all going up soon!

      If anyone is wondering if they are the ones being deceived – the Bible has a test. If it edifies God it is true – if it edifies a man it is false.

      If you fly a plane into a Building and your reward is Virgins – You have probably been grossly deceived.
      Do I follow Jesus or Mohammed – easy check their graves – Who’s still in his?
      Support Israel or not – The Bible clearly states, what you do to Israel – God will do to you.
      Poop on a Cop car – not sure if the Bible addresses this – my guess it would be a false act to follow.
      If you’re a Reporter on a News Network that promotes Tea Party as extremest and Fleabaggers as what is right about America – you are mislead and you need to repent now.
      If a Presidential Candidate stands and proclaims that the seas are going to part – don’t walk, RRRUUUUNNNN!

    Megalomania is a psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence. Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers and beliefs.

    Barack is a megalomaniac being harnessed by the Judeo-business community, duly represented in this example by David Gregory and David Axlerod. This group if characterized by a lack of ethics and a love of money. Barack was identified at a young age and, after he authored an anti-war magazine article with multiple noun-verb errors, was compelled to not write again, most especially as the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

    The execution-style deaths of the three male homosexuals of Barack’s church in the months leading up to his run for president go uninvestigated by David Gregory and those who own the media outlets. I conclude that this is one of the cards being held in reserve. Anyone cracking that story would likely receive a bullet, instead of a Pulitzer. This group occupying the White House, as well as the larger political class, is living in a alternative universe, and they are dangerous.

It is as two football teams running up and down a field, each having different goals, but all the grass has worn out and turned to mud (which is the green grasses of America), ans sooner probably rather than later both teams will get bogged down in the mud if they don’t get new grass in the stadium, and so both teams will agree replant the field, but first having to massively raise ticket costs to cover the repairs.

It might take a generation to complete the process. Also, place restrictions on the number of lawyers that can serve at the same time. Lastly, eliminate all lobbyists in Washington and/or impose mandatory prison terms on any politician caught meeting with them and granting “favors” for cash or votes.

Most of these people LIVE in DC. They come home to their “home” state now and then. There are a few that sleep in their office and actually live in their home state. It is just wrong that they spend so much time and money out of the state that supports them. Also, on the net we all could watch the process and have more control.

Reagan knew that millionaires weren’t paying their fair share and made sure he raised tax rates on them by getting rid of a lot of deductions and exemptions. He probably wouldn’t recognize the collection of rectal pores that passes for the Republican party today…neither would Abraham Lincoln!
