Sleight of mouth

We’ve all heard the yammering recently as the Democrat White House tries to change the subject from it’s own failures to their criticism of what the President calls “cable chatter”. Press secretary Gibbs has been quick to attack CNBC’s Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer for their criticism of the President’s agenda. Gibbs even admits that it’s counterproductive, according to the Washington Times;

“It may be counterproductive. I’ll give you that,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, when asked about his repeated verbal jousting with Mr. Limbaugh and other media personalities who have criticized President Obama.

But that hasn’t stopped him. Life long Democrat and Obama supporter Jim Cramer has responded to the most recent attacks against his commentary;

So I will fight the fight against that agenda. I will stand up for what I believe and for what I have always believed: Every person has a right to be rich in this country and I want to help them get there. And when they get there, if times are good, we can have them give back or pay higher taxes. Until they get there, I don’t want them shackled or scared or paralyzed. That’s what I see now.

If that makes me an enemy of the White House, then call me a general of an army that Obama may not even know exists — tens of millions of people who live in fear of having no money saved when they need it and who get poorer by the day.

Ohio Republican congressman John Boehner writes in today’s Washington Post that this has been part of the Obama strategy all along, to distract the public from the malfeasance that’s happening right before our eyes;

Make no mistake: This strategy did not develop out of thin air. Democratic pollsters began laying the groundwork for this effort last fall. What’s particularly regrettable is that all this is unfolding at a time our nation can least afford it.

President Obama has said that we must change the way Washington operates in order to address the unprecedented challenges of today. I hope that those inside and close to the administration begin heeding his advice, because the change-the-subject campaign they are employing is the oldest trick in Washington’s book. This isn’t about the leadership of political party officials or the influence of radio hosts. It’s about the need for both parties to work together toward real solutions to end this recession and put Americans back to work.

Democrats know they’re creating a REAL SEVERE crisis out of a run-of-the-mill crisis by compounding the damage to the economy. Cramer, of whom I’ve been critical in the past, writes that he longs for higher taxes on the rich and greatly expanded environmental projects, but that now isn’t the time. The Democrats won’t wait for the time, though – they learned that in 1993 their grasp of power is tenuous when the people handed Congress to the Republicans for the first time in 50 after Democrats barely failed to enact their healthcare plan. They knew that if they waited to enact their far-reaching socialist plans, they might miss another opportunity to enslave the vote to their will.

Now Democrats are trying to distract the public from what they know in advance will drive us deeper into a recession, maybe even a depression with their mismanagement of the economy – while in public they attack private citizens who disagree with them and carry out a show-trial against Karl Rove who they suspect of being guilty of doing the same thing they’re doing at the DOJ right now.

So where are our watchdogs in the media?
