That Knock at the Door…

No one likes to be strong-armed. And when it was clear that Hillary Clinton would not be our next President, some relief was forthcoming in assuming that the tyranny perpetrated by Obama-supporting thugs would now unravel like a cheap sweater. They would disperse back into whatever their lives were before.
Not so fast.
In a story at politicalticker “after several e-mail pleas and a nationwide door-knocking campaign, President Obama’s political arm will start airing a television commercial…urging voters to pressure Congress to approve his budget.”
Uh, hasn’t Obama already been elected? Don’t Democrats control both houses of Congress? Why the pressure?
And, President Obama’s political arm? Yes indeedy, brought to us by the same folks who ran his campaign, Organizing for America has been launched. First, you sign the pledge that you will support President Obama. Period. Then you can start making calls from home or a phone bank, organize canvasses and go door-to-door, host house meetings, attend Organizing for America training sessions, and so on. Obama Camps are sprouting up everywhere. I just got an e-invitation to attend a full day of “orientation” in a nearby city.
They’re back…..
Personally, I sense a bit of paranoia setting in. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I do follow history. And what appears to be emerging makes me uncomfortable.
Alas, we may have a silver bullet. When that strong-arm knock on the door comes, listen for a minute and then start asking questions. Ask for complete details. How will each plan work, who will pay for it, who are the main stakeholders, how will the average American benefit compared to the already wealthy, and exactly when? Clear facts, no fluff! I bet there will be some stammering going on.
What questions would you ask?
