Much has been written about Obama’s controversial appointments, not
only to the federal bench, but to key cabinet positions, as well as to
the unaccountable (and probably unconstitutional) “Czar” positions. Much
of the criticism has dwelled on the Obama administration’s lack of
vetting when filling these rolls—but that’s not the issue.
To the contrary, the Obama team did investigate thoroughly and they
choose precisely. When an administration repeatedly nominates hard-left
individuals, it’s not a vetting error—it’s a pattern. We should not
allow the media to portray these appointments as a series of errors; but
rather, we need to realize that Team Obama is simply nominating those
who share their goal of radically changing America.
Most Americans have a hard time understanding this because they
refuse to believe Obama is this extreme. But he is. For a year prior to
his election conservatives warned voters that everything we knew about
Obama indicated that his views were far from the mainstream. This was
obvious when one analyzed his friends, which groups he funded while a
“community activist,” his Illinois State Senate record, his United
States Senate record and even what he wrote in his own books.
The reality, of course, is that Obama’s views are far from the
mainstream and it is embarrassing so many Americans fell for his leftist
candy-coated lies. Indeed, it appears that Obama is the most far left
President in American history. His appointees only confirm this. These
appointees hail from the crowd who regard their pedigree as the 60’s
activists who cheered on the Vietcong, while American boys were
slaughtered in the jungles of Vietnam. They hate America, or more
precisely, they hate America’s heritage; American institutions, and the
American Constitution.
Many of these extremists nominated by Obama hail from academia, where
they were shielded from outside scrutiny while they quietly
indoctrinated our youth. But don’t let the cloak of academia fool you;
they are out to change America in ways most Americans oppose. More
importantly, Americans need to realize their views
are Obama’s views.
The American media is partly responsible for bringing such extremists
to power. There is little doubt the media engaged in a massive
propaganda effort to convince Americans that Obama was some kind of hip
moderate; a breath of fresh air, a reformer, and someone who would fight
the corrupt ways of Washington. Until Americans wake up and stop
relying on the mainstream media for their source of news, they will
continue to pay a heavy price for their ignorance. Unfortunately, this
report covers just a few of Obama’s policy-makers, but there are many
more such extremists within his administration.
Domestic Policy:
The Regulatory Czar – Cass Sunstein
Sunstein was nominated and approved to be Obama’s “Regulatory Czar.”
He supports massive gun control and doesn’t believe the 2nd Amendment is
an individual right. He has straight out said, “We ought to ban
hunting.” While this fruitcake strips Americans of their Constitutional
right to own guns, he wants to give rights to animals and has argued
that “Animals should be permitted to bring suit…” Naturally, he also
supports the “Fairness Doctrine,” the wrongly-named concept which allows
the government to regulate the airwaves.
Climate Czar – Todd Stern
Stern, a veteran of the Clinton administration, was the U.S.
negotiator at the Kyoto conference in 1997 (which called for dramatic
climate change regulations based on bogus assumptions.) Had the treaty
been implemented, it would have plunged the world into economic chaos.
Since then, new evidence has revealed that the major climate models
used to justify the Global Warming alarm was, in fact, not accurate. One
would think Stern would address this, but chances are he won’t. Climate
change seems to be more about giving the government control over our
lives, than about phony climate crises. Indeed, Stern has made it clear
that he thinks international agencies, such as the United Nations,
should take the lead on forcing climate change down the throats of
national governments. Stern has even gone as far as to propose that
world powers form an “E8” group, who would meet yearly and dictate
environmental policy to the rest of the world. What about national
sovereignty? Clearly, Stern feels that’s an outdated concept.
Stern is also the nutcase behind the Cap and Trade proposal which,
even an analysis by Obama’s own Treasury Department concluded, would
cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion dollars—just what we need for
today’s economy!
Science Czar – John Holdren
In his book, Holdren advocates some of the most bizarre
and horrifying policy stances imaginable. In the event of a
“over-population crises,” Holdren supports “laws requiring compulsory
abortion,” government confiscation of new born babies, the “development
of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the
skin,” and, incredibly, “adding a sterilant to drinking water or stable
foods….” as long a livestock would not be affected (as experimentally
implemented in India). Holdren wants the government to dictate family
size and advocate a “planetary regime,” run by the United Nations. This
real life Dr. Frankenstein will be deciding science policy for the
United States of America.
Chief Diversity Officer, Federal Communications Commission – Mark Lloyd
While Obama is playing coy with his plans to shut down
conservative talk radio, we know what his real intentions are, due to
his appointment of Mark Lloyd. Lloyd’s view of the 1st Amendment is
shocking:
“It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press.
This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references
to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination
of other communications policies. “[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect
global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.”
Like many of Obama’s appointees, Lloyd worked for
George Soros, the foreign billionaire who funds anti-America groups. He
seems to be enamored with dictators and has even publicly praised
Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez’s “incredible…democratic
revolution.” He also wants to use the Fairness Doctrine to “balance”
talk radio and believes there are too many white people in the media. He
has written that unless there are “more people of color, gays and other
people…we will not change the problem.” One of his solutions to
“balance” the media is to fine conservative radio stations up to $250
million and give the proceeds to National Public Radio. Get ready for
censorship like America has never seen before.
Attorney General – Eric Holder
Like most of Obama’s appointees, Holder is a member of the American
Constitution Society, a ACLU-type group dedicated to destroying much the
Constitution in order to make it “relevant” to the modern world. And as
with many Obama’s appointees, he is obsessed with race, even to the
point of refusing to pursue the prosecution of two Black Panther thugs
who intimidated white voters at a polling place. The thugs were
screaming things at the voters such as, “You are about to be ruled by
the black man, cracker.” If whites had harassing blacks at a polling
place, they would still be sitting in a jail within days. Nevertheless,
Holder apparently doesn’t mind undermining the democratic process.
He is currently challenging the rights of states to enact citizen
verification procedures previously approved by two federal courts. In
other words, Holder wants to make it easier for illegal aliens to vote,
which also happens to be ACORN’s goal. This comes as no surprise; Holder
has been undermining the rule of law for most of his career. While
serving as the #2 official in Clinton’s Justice Department, Holder was
the driving force behind the effort to pardon members of the notorious
Puerto Rican terrorist group, FALN, a group that engaged in over 130
attacks in the USA, killing six people. By refusing to carry out justice
against the Black Panthers and the Hispanic FALN terrorists, he was
clearly pandering to these two racial groups for political reasons. So
this is what Obama’s Justice Department will be all about: racial
pandering first and justice last. Speaking at an ACS convention last
November, Holder announced that America would soon be “run by
progressives.” At least he’s honest.
Deputy Attorney General – David OgdenThis
appointment must have been a favor for the porn industry; Ogden has
probably done more than anyone in America to defend the “rights” of
pornographers. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said Ogden “is more than
just a lawyer who has had a few unsavory clients. He has devoted a
substantial part of his career, case after case, for 20 years, in
defense of pornography.” For example, he argued in support of the
American Library Association when they went to court to challenge
mandatory anti-obscenity internet filters in school libraries.
Incredibly, the ALA/Ogden position was that libraries should be
free-speech zones in which school children should have the right to
access anything they want – even pornography – on school computers.
This comes as no surprise, when Ogden was an attorney for the
American Civil Liberties Union, he argued on constitutional grounds to
strike down the conviction of a defendant who received and possessed
child pornography. Ogden believes there is a constitutional right to
possess child pornography. The appointment of Ogden is apparently what
Obama means when he talks about promoting “family values.”
Solicitor General – Elena Kagan
Elena Kagan has also been mentioned by the Obama forces as the next
nomination to the Supreme Court. This is ironic considering her complete
lack of judicial or appellate experience. She has never even been a
judge or argued before the Supreme Court! Kagen has served as the Dean
of Harvard Law School, but her job was to fundraise and make the
students “comfortable.” As the Boston Globe writes, “Some of
her initial acts as dean were small-scale improvements, like offering
free coffee in classroom buildings and free tampons in women’s
bathrooms.” Isn’t that nice!
However, the few legal views she holds are certainly far from the
mainstream. She described the “don’t ask, don’t tell” homosexual
military policy adopted by President Clinton as “a profound wrong – a
moral injustice of the first order,” and favors homosexuals being
allowed to openly serve in the military. She argued that it was
unconstitutional for Congress to withhold funds from colleges that
banned military recruiters and she even took it upon herself to ban
military recruiters from Harvard because of their policy regarding
homosexuals. Clearly, her lesbianism has clearly created a bias that
affects her shallow legal views. 
Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel – Dawn Johnson
Johnson is the former legal director for the National Abortion
Rights Action League, a group on the extreme left of the abortion
debate. They oppose any restrictions on abortion for any reason, at any
time of pregnancy—even late term abortions. She has also worked for the
ACLU. Johnson has argued that abortion is all about “sexual freedom.”
That’s right: have sex with whoever you want and whenever you want and
if you get pregnant, get an abortion. This same mentality has led to
skyrocketing sexual disease rates, unwanted pregnancies, and untold
sorrow. In a brief filed while working with NARAL,Johnson cited a
source that said forcing women to bear children was “disturbingly
suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the 13th Amendment,
in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical
service to the fetus in order to further the state’s asserted
interest.” In other words, being pregnant is comparable to being a
slave.
Secretary, Department of Education – Arne Duncan
Obama appointed Duncan due to his alleged success as CEO of Chicago’s public schools. However, in 2007, only 10% of black 4thgraders in Chicago reached the proficiency level in reading and for black 8th graders, only 9% reached reading proficiency. In math, only 8% of black students reached proficiency in 4th grade and just 6% reached proficiency in 8th
grade. This was the disappointing outcome, despite spending
$13-$14,000 per student and is among the highest of any major city.Even
worse, a majority of Chicago public school students drop out or fail to
graduate with their class. Needless to say, the Duncan era was a
disaster. He did, however, pursue an aggressive agenda to promote the
homosexual lifestyle in the schools. So Chicago kids can’t read or
write, but they all know how to engage in homosexual sex. If anyone
tells you Duncan is an “education reformer,” tell them you’re the tooth
fairy.
Assistant Deputy Secretary, Department of Education – Kevin Jennings
- Jennings is the founder of the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education
Network (GLSEN), a group dedicated to promoting the homosexual agenda to
school children as young as five. They’re sick people and even promote
books that feature adult-child sex in a favorable way. Regardless, Obama
must have been impressed with Jennings, as he appointed him to carry
out his perverted mission nationwide in his new role as head of the
Department’s “Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools.”
The reality is that homosexuality is not safe; it takes years off
the average lifespan of males. But for Obama, is not really about
safety; it’s about keeping the homosexual community happy—after all,
they helped elect him. Jennings has been in the press lately due to
revelations that he gave encouraging advice to a boy who privately
confessed to him he was having sex with an older man. And what was
Jennings’s advice? Buy a condom. Parents, start monitoring what your
schools are teaching your children. It’s going to get ugly. Foreign Policy
United States Ambassador to United Nations – Susan Rice
Even though she served on the National Security Council under
President Clinton, Rice seems to have slept through the last two
decades. She is fanatically pro-UN and wants the United States to work
closely with the United Nations in order 
to
carry out all kinds of humanitarian and military actions, seeming
unaware that the UN has never been supportive of US interests. They
don’t stop wars; they don’t sanction terrorist regimes, and their
internal corruption is so pervasive they can’t even carry out
humanitarian missions. But rather than hold the UN responsible for its
obvious failings over the years, Rice blamed Bush for being “unilateral”
and for “stiff-arming our partners.” She even sits on the board of the
UN Fund for UNICEF, an agency which has been repeatedly caught giving
aid to terrorists, and during the Cold War, assisting communist
insurgents.
More seriously, she is overly cautious in regard to fighting
terrorism. The former Ambassador to Sudan implicated Rice as the person
who bungled the opportunity to take out Osama bin Laden when Sudanese
officials offered him to the USA on a silver platter during the Clinton
years.
She rejected their offer. There’s a good chance 9/11 could have been
avoided if Rice had accepted the Sudanese offer. Apparently, even though
she worked for the NSC, she didn’t regard Al-Qaeda as a threat. No
wonder we were hit on 9/11. And now she’s our UN Ambassador? I wonder
whose interests she will serve…probably the UNs.
Counsel, State Department – Harold Koh
The man Obama has named as the State Department’s legal advisor is
Harold Koh. Koh believes America should defer to the International Court
of Justice to determine legal precedents; a totally unconstitutional
endeavor. He is a member of the “trans-nationalism” school of legal
thought that believes all distinctions between American Constitutional
law and international law should vanish. Incredibly, he even believes
Muslim law –Sharia law– should be applied to some disputes in US courts.
Clearly, his views are in contradiction to the Constitution he swore to
uphold, but no matter, he is now in charge of all legal issues for the
U.S. State Department.
National Security Council – Samantha Power
Power is an anti-Israel pseudo intellectual, a strange position
given that Israel is our top ally in the Middle East. She holds the view
that until Israel allows Palestine to set up a separate state, all the
other problems in the Middle East will remain. This, of course, ignores
the 1,300 year old war of conquest waged by Islam against the West, most
of it occurring long before the modern day Israel/Palestine conflict.
She also holds to the conspiratorial view that everything America does
in the Middle East – like the Iraq war – is due to Israeli
influence.Finally, she pooh-poohs the idea that Iran is developing
nuclear weapons, a thoroughly discredited view in light of recent
events. While she opposed sending troops to Iraq – she called it an
“occupation”—she favored sending US troops to Israel to forcibly impose a
Palestinian state. Power’s writing grossly exaggerates “war crimes”
committed by Israel and never condemns terrorist activity by the
Palestinians. The last thing we need in the midst of war between the
West and Islamic terrorism is a nut on the NSC giving the President
advice favoring our enemies.
Advisor, Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy – Rosa BrooksThis
genius wrote that Al-Qaeda was just an “obscure group” until America
began the war on terrorism, ignoring all the documentation that Al-Qaeda
was making plans for rapid growth long before 9/11. Apparently, it’s
America’s fault that terrorist groups exist today! She called President
Bush “our torturer in chief” and compared Bush’s anti-terrorist policies
to Hitler’s policies. Clearly, she ignored the fact that Bush’s
policies were responsible for stopping over 17 different terrorist plots
against the United States. She also called the successful surge in Iraq
a “feckless plan” and seems completely blind to the successes we have
had in the war on terrorism. But we shouldn’t be surprised; she used to
work for a foundation funded by the foreign America-hater George Soros.
It’s hard to believe Brooks is now deciding defense policy.
White House Staff
Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs – Valerie Jarrett
Jarrett is involved with vetting all the extremists Obama has
appointed and thus, has to be an extremist as well. For example, she was
aware that former Green Czar Van Jones (who withdrew) had a long
history of involvement in Communist Party causes, but still said she was
“delighted to be able to recruit him into the White House.” She had to
have known, because she married into a family with a pedigree of
Communist Party involvement. Her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, worked
closely with Obama mentor and Communist Party leader Frank Marshall
Davis in a number of Communist Party front groups during the Cold War
years. Valerie married Vernon’s son in 1983 and later became chief of
staff for Mayor Richard Daley, where she was a key player in perhaps
America’s most corrupt big city political machine. Obama does not go
forward with anything without her counsel.
Political advisor – David AxelrodFor
those who think Axelrod is just a good campaign consultant, you
couldn’t be more wrong. Axelrod has a long history of working for
obscure socialist candidates and Obama was no different, politically,
from his other clients. In fact, promoting socialist causes was a family
tradition. His mother wrote for a New York City tabloid called PM Magazine,
which often promoted the Communist Party line. Indeed, author IF Stone,
later revealed to be working for the KGB, was PM’s DC correspondent.
Much of the tabloid’s funding came from Marshall Field, a hard left
millionaire who also funded Saul Alinsky’s training school. Axelrod has
spent his entire life promoting extremist candidates, but no one
bothered to look into his background. Today, he advises Obama on all
things political.
Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change – Carol Browner
Browner previously served as head of the EPA during the Clinton
regime where she advocated incredibly stupid environmental regulations
that destroyed entire industries. At a time when America is losing jobs
in record numbers, she is precisely the right person for the Obama
job-killing machine. Browner is a socialist and was picked by Socialist
International to be one of 14 leaders of a group it created called the
Commission for a Sustainable World Society. SI believes in massive
wealth redistribution from the West to the Third World, choosing to
ignore the evidence that Third World countries are poor due to their
socialist policies.
Moreover, SI constantly attacks the free market in general and the
United States in particular. The fact that Obama has chosen both
Browner and Todd Stern (Climate Czar) does not bode well for the
American economy. The recent disclosure that the climate models used by
Browner and Stern to justify draconian new regulations – such as Cap and
Trade – are based on inaccurate data, has not fazed the Obama
administration one bit. For Obama, environmentalism is a tool for
increasing government control and nothing else.
General Counsel and Senior Policy Advisor, Office of Management & Budget – Preeta Bansal
Bansal
is very close to Obama; she acts behind the scenes advising him
regarding the selection of federal judges. She is on the far left side
of the judicial spectrum and is a leader of the misnamed American
Constitutional Society, a group that believes in a “living Constitution”
and works to “debunk” the “original intent” concept. Indeed, ACS’s
view that the Constitution should constantly change undermines the very
purpose for having a constitution. Needless to say, the ACS is
obsessed with criminal rights, illegal alien rights, terrorist rights,
and other phony rights. ACS is America’s main networking group for
far-left attorneys and is where Bansal is recruiting many of Obama’s
judicial nominees.
Bansal is also a member of the “critical race theory (CRT)” school of
legal thought that boils all legal concepts down to racist conspiracies
and that racism permeates all aspects of American society. Indeed, she
even co-authored a paper claiming that republicanism is based upon
racist consensus. In other words, she believes the entire concept of
representative democracy is based upon racist assumptions. Indeed, CRT
advocates even believe the founding of America was primarily due to
racial motivations.
Judge Richard Posner of the United States Court of Appeals called CRT
supporters the “lunatic core” of “radical legal egalitarianism.” Bansal
is a lunatic and her appointment will ensure that Obama’s judicial
appointments will be far more about “diversity” than they will be about
competence.
Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, Executive office of the President — Cecilia Munoz
Munoz is a hard-core open borders advocate who served recently as the
Vice President for the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), where she
supervised all legislative activities. La Raza is the nation’s foremost
supporter of “rights” for illegal aliens and the granting of amnesty to
the millions of illegals here in America. She does not care that
illegal aliens are costing America billions of dollars; she believes
they should enjoy the same rights as citizens. Not surprisingly, she
served on the U.S. Programs board of the
Open Society Institute, a George Soros-funded group. You can expect
Munoz to quietly push for a massive transfer of benefits and welfare to
illegal aliens and for legislation granting amnesty to all those here
illegally.
Director, Domestic Policy Council – Melody Barnes
Barnes is a certified wacko. She was previously Vice President of the
far-left Center for American Progress and also served as Chief Counsel
for Senator Ted Kennedy on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Her view on
abortion is so extreme, she served on the boards of both Emily’s List
and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. She favors unrestricted
abortions for any reason at any time of pregnancy.
Incredibly, some naïve pro-life leaders supported Obama, believing he
was pro-life because he supposedly wanted to find ways to reduce
abortions. Barnes has put that myth to rest. In a meeting with key
pro-family leaders, Barnes made it clear that “It is not our goal to
reduce the number of abortions.” As reported, the room went silent.
Barnes glorifies abortion as being a “concept of liberty that includes
women as equal.” She has written that “reproductive rights are human
rights.” My guess is that the baby being aborted doesn’t quite feel the
same way. Needless to say, there will NOT be any pro-life measures
supported by this administration. The
Nation magazine praised
Barnes as a “dyed-in-the-wool progressive,” a nice term for a socialist.
She is also a former staff member for the American Constitutional
Society, the far-left legal group mentioned elsewhere.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
All Government Officials are starting to believe they're above the law. Maybe with all the Obama Crooks now in place, could be true!
