Obama Moves DNC Headquarters to Chicago

I heard the news, and was struck by the audacity of Obama moving the DNC headquarters and employees to the epicenter of machine and mob politics. Ben Smith of Politico.com wrote that the abrupt move is “a major shakeup” and, in an understated phrase, a “departure from tradition.”

I knew at once that Barack Obama was seizing the DNC by the hair, and dragging it into his lair where he can seize control of the Democratic party’s monies, its employees, and any access to its power brokers. The party is no longer, in any way, the party of the Democratic voter. It is now Barack Obama’s party, to do with as he wishes.

The Obama-controlled Chicago machine will hold sway over all Superdelegates running for reelection this year — including their access to money, support, and endorsements.

Those freshman House members will be kneeling and kissing Obama’s ring in no time and, for their sakes, they’d better not have supported Hillary.

Chicago is the home of Obama’s longtime extremist mentors, associates, advisers and benefactors — both before and immediately after his law school years — including Reverends Jeremiah Wright, Otis Moss and James Meeks; Minister Louis Farrakhan; Father Michael Pfleger; Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn; marketing guru David Axelrod who created the mix-and-match Obama and Deval Patrick personae; the convicted Antoin “Tony” Rezko who only two years ago enabled a “sweetheart deal” that allowed Barack and Michelle Obama to buy a historic mansion they could ill afford; the Illinois state senator power broker Emil Jones who “[f]or almost a year … used his position as leader of the state senate to block anticorruption legislation passed unanimously by the state’s lower house.”

Smith writes:

The move reflects Obama’s desire to maintain an unusually streamlined campaign, as well as his swift and complete takeover of a Democratic Party that isn’t always known for its unity.


To which Riverdaughter replies, about this “complete and utter takeover of the DNC by the Obama campaign”:

I’m guessing that “streamlined” means “pared to the bone for cost reasons”. “Consolidate” means “have Obama hire the staff because the DNC can’t pay them”. Is it that Obama has highjacked the DNC or is it that the DNC is forced to go this route because the fundraising machine has dried up over the outrageous treatment of Hillary Clinton? And if it is the latter, how long will it take before it cries “Uncle” and ceases to exist as a party apparatus at all?

What it means most of all is that if Obama loses in November — as we predict because the GOP has every intention to expose Mr. Obama’s shady dealings and longtime extremist associates including, reports McClatchy, questioning “Obama’s judgment and character” in choosing allies like Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers — the Democratic party will be left in a shambles, cut off from its roots and Congressional allies in Washington, D.C., bereft of leadership, broke and in staggering debt.

Hot Air blog predicts the Republicans will have great fun with the Chicago location since the just-completed “Rezko trial [showed] massive corruption in state politics” — and involves many of Obama’s longtime allies.

Howard Dean may think it’s great that Democrats are nervous about Obama’s prospects.

But, if I were a yellow dog Democrat, I’d be ill right about now.

Thankfully, I’ve never been a one-party person. Never seen the sense in it. And I’m keeping my options open.

Would that the DNC were more cautious and protective of its future, rather than betting the farm on an inexperienced and unqualified candidate with shady and extremist characters for close allies.


Chicago is a city so colorfully corrupt, it inspired this creative video by the great Flineo:

It’s all a distraction. Watch the “magician’s other hand”. While they divert Americans with attacks against McCain and the Republicans, or keep us wound up with actions like this DNC, they are stealing the election. Election fraud. Volunteer and get involved with the process for election day. Let’s make it as hard as possible for them to cheat.

Comment by pm317 | 2008-06-13 08:34:05

Their cockiness tells me that they have something up their sleeves and it is not pretty. Election fraud and who knows what else? If we had any hopes of a floor fight and the SDs changing their minds at the convention, it is completely gone now. He and Dean have a stranglehold on them. Every time I think some wiser heads will prevail, the next outrageous thing happens — something is sinister here. I also don’t think Obama is the ringmaster on this, because I just can’t accept he is smart enough even in that devious way. One thing is sure, if we want our party back, we have to defeat these bastards and defeat them a huge margin. New politics, my foot.

If the Super Delegates have any common sense and balls they would vote for Hillary. obama is dangerous.

They don’t need us. They are probably planning on stealing the GE too. No sitting this out or write ins will defeat him.

Barrack Obama Illegal Drug Use Allegations to be Corroborated at Press Conference
June 13, 2008

PRESS RELEASE

Washington, D.C. - Despite death threats and an organized campaign to prevent him from speaking publicly, Larry Sinclair – on June 18, 2008, at 3:00 PM in the Lisagor Room of the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20045, will for the first time reveal the corroborating evidence for his claim that on November 6 + 7, 1999, Larry: (i) met Obama at a gay bar where Barrack Obama arranged for the purchase of federal Schedule II drugs, (ii) which Larry and Obama thereafter ingested and (iii) then engaged in hi-risk, homosexual activities.

Larry’s story burst on to the scene on January 18, 2008, when Larry released a short video containing these allegations on YouTube.com. That video has had close to a million views yet the mainstream media has completely ignored Larry’s serious allegations. Thereafter, a clearly orchestrated campaign to discredit Larry began on the internet which forced Larry to resort to federal court to protect his reputation.

At the press conference, Larry will (i) reveal the corroborating evidence for his allegations regarding Obama, (ii) address the time-line of the response of the Obama campaign to his allegations and the murder of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director of Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama’s now-former church and (iii) the significance of the refusal of U.S. District Court Judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. to allow Larry’s case to proceed.

I’ll believe this on when I see it. This guy has been doing this since February, that I know of. And he has yet to produce anything that could qualify as ‘evidence’. If he does, more power to him. If he doesn’t I do hope he shuts up and puts this to bed. Much as I despise Obama, I am really skeptical of this story. So hopefully, this afternoon will constitute a Sh*t or Get Off The Pot moment.

I said this over a week ago. They plan to STEAL the election. There will be a lot of agressive forces out on Election Day especially in latino communities. I firmly believe there will be hacking of Diebold machines.

For the most part, they are complicit. They moved to Chi town to stay out of the way of the media. Much easier to do this stuff without the fawning media.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-06-13 08:26:24

Hmmmm….FASCIST IS AS FASCIST DOES….
I wonder if Sen. Clinton will even be allowed to attend the convention ( if held in Denver ) or would be likely to be absent in the interest of self preservation ( if held in Chicago ).
This pattern has happened before in another location…Berlin 1933
Same thug types….History is after all just a record of Human Behavior.

 
 

Comment by Madam DeFarge | 2008-06-13 07:37:24

PUMA isn’t as strong as I’d hoped.
In fact, they’re dropping the ball.
Every day, they congratulate themselves.
The website is chaotic. There is no way to have dialog or to respond to another post. People will lose interest in a flash.
Their major accomplishment? Sending Howard Dean a few hundred postcards. Sigh.

Comment by Zimeeisme | 2008-06-13 08:43:57

I know exactly what you mean. At least at hcsfjm.com, we had an open chat and decided to make it rain green for McCain. Not sure how quickly the word will get out but at least I feel like something is getting done.

I put this info on clintondems.com and got several responses in just a few minutes…then the admin took it down…I suppose since money would be going to McCain instead of Hillary and they sure don’t want that.

But I feel that money talks and the Puma postcard thing will do nothing. Puma needs to do more rather than to appear on Fox with nothing of great substance to say. I thought it just made them look like unorganized idiots.

Let’s put our money where our mouth is and show the DNC that if they don’t want it, then I am sure McCain does.

Comment by karen for Clinton | 2008-06-13 09:10:35

The most important thing to do to send a message is to leave the party.

I’ve been a registered dem for decades and now am Unaffiliated.

To remain a dem after May 31st was not an option. This was not a protest move on my part per se, it was a reaction to their betrayal of my core long held beliefs.

They abandoned me, so I filed for divorce.

Comment by Jude | 2008-06-13 09:34:19

I think it’s time to seriously consider starting a new party in this country. I’m truly all for starting the “Centrist Party” and seeing if we can pull disenfranchised Dems and Repubs, Indies, alike. A no bs platform, focused on real issues, no planks on the issues that divide us, like abortion or gay rights - those issues will resolve themselves with the next generation. We’re really losing our grip on democracy here.

I went out to Obama’s smear site last night to see what he had going there. Is it just me, or is anyone else offended that he has taken the symbol of the eagle and applied his logo to it? What’s next - the Obama logo on our currency?

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-06-13 09:45:30

No it’s not just you…but then again this is a typical tactic of FASCISM….the manipulation of symbols and mythology.
It worked for Adolf and the gang….

Not true. You can change your affiliation at any time here. Just ask for a form at the Post Office.

They lied. An Obot told you that.

 
 

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-13 10:32:00

I agree with Karen. Leaving the Party is the strongest statement we can make.

Organizations don’t just happen overnight. It’s unrealistic not to expect a certain amount of chaos and disorder.

Unrealistic expectations of such will lead to an attitude of defeat. We are walking a solitary path to Nov. The focus must be on our one vote, not on wondering if other people are doing the same.

The DNP leadership is counting on us to become defeated in the midst of chaos. Don’t fold! Ultimately, all a citizen has is their one vote so use it.

In the meantime, we need to concentrate on LONG TERM organizing.

As far as Hillary is concerned, I keep the hope of that somehow she will prevail in a quiet place of contemplation so that I won’t get distracted by my main objective: NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA and giving my vote to McCain.

I hate that these are my choices but that’s the reality. But I despise what Obama, Dean, Pelosi and Brazile have done to my ex-Party even more.

PUMA!

WIN WITHOUT ME!!!

B.O.W.L!!!!

right now the Obama is registering historic numbers of voters and building the most massive political fundraising machine in modern history with one goal in mind: Defeat McCain. The next 60 days will make-or-break McCain and his grassroots effort. Donate and don’t sit this out please. We have work to do.

And keep donating to Hillary as she has to reduce her debt to be stronger against them.

Too bad you don’t mention this prominently at your URL.
If you did, the format is too disorganized to see it immediately.
Why not give your supporters a good chat blog, and a call to action that will have an impact.
I also suggest in interface similar to Mydd. The content at Mydd sucks, but their format works well.
I hope that you read this as constructive criticism. We all very much want to succeed at pulling Dean’s appointee and replacing him with the candidate that the voters elected.

Madam DeFarge.

Firstly, let me be the first to tell you… I *LOVE* your screenname! I’ve been feeling like quite the Madame DeFarge myself these past 6 months, so I know exactly where you are coming from.

Next, I invite you to give we PUMAs a hand. Your input is most welcome. This has all happened SO FAST, so please help us lay the foundation whilst the ground is still soft.

I recommend you join us at our FaceBook group for the time being. Until we get our own ship fully in order, the FaceBook matrix provides us with much needed structure:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20011051465&ref=ts

And if you *aren’t* on FaceBook, I highly recommend that you join. It is a most *excellent* avenue for political discourse.

Thanks again!

Your fellow DeFargean,

Will Bower

Ehemm….Will isn’t the guy who started Facebook the same guy who is runnin Obama’s internet terror campaign ? Why woud I or any other person want to make that guy richer….Or allow him to have any info on me in my membership….Just askin ?

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-13 10:42:24

Excellent point. I joined Facebook although I haven’t used it and will probably have to rejoin - but I don’t like the idea of using their venue and giving them my info while I fight against Obama. The guy was already called on sharing facebook members info.

To me, this is like strategizing with Obama sitting in the meetings.

 
 
 
 

Comment by Medusa | 2008-06-13 09:26:28

Quite simply, the Democratic party leaders have been bought.

BO’s machine is buying the party, buying the nomination, buying constituents.
Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if BO’s machine doesn’t by the Republicans too. I kid you not.

It’s good to be King!

Comment by Susaninbosque | 2008-06-13 11:42:06

I continue to ask and will continue to do so: what is the source of the money? I actually think this is a Obama/Rove/Cheney cabal. When you have no chance of winning an election in “08 as Rep were faced with, what exactly would you do? You would take the most corrupted and corruptible of all Democrats (Obama, Pelosi, Dean) and you would give them nominal power wouldn’t you? You’d give them what they want while consolidating every power grab that has gone on for 8 years. Think of all of the people who could not be bought and you probably have your answer. Now, to me, the odd thing is that they bothered to tell Hillary to get out of the race while it was still going on. If you had just gone along and stolen everything in a consistent fashion, we might not have noticed. But when you spent all of that time screaming about Hillary go away, then we bothered to get pissed and suspicious. It seems to me that this was a large mistake. But it seems to me that this is close to transparent and I do not think for a moment it is run by Obama and Axelrod.

I ask: where is the money coming from? Iraq is an open wound of a place where money can flow anywhere it wants and we won’t “notice.” But we can point to folks in Obama’s background that worked this part of the street.

Where is the money coming from? and

Watch what the other hand does is MOST correct.

 
 

Comment by speaktruth | 2008-06-13 10:07:17

One suggestion is to call the DNC. Ask for a live person. I doubt they are still reading all those emails and letters. Although I do think 1000 or more postcard campaign is good idea.
Calling could be more direct, though. At least a few weeks ago they seemed to care.
It’s hard to believe that Dean is really okay with this takeover. I can’t see him as corporate shill. I think he’s caught up in something he can’t control any more. But he still has some choices.
Call, put pressure, tell him we don’t want our party hijacked. They really have to be stopped.
It’s become very scary.

Forget the Democratic Party and its Leaders. We just spent a year watching them cheat and lie and subvert Democratic principles. The Dem Party is now totally controlled by Obama. It’s gone. There is nothing Democratic left - it looks more like Stalinism.

*”Stalinism is the political regime named after Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union from 1929-1953. It includes an extensive use of propaganda to establish a personality cult around an absolute dictator, as well as extensive use of the secret police to maintain social submission and silence political dissent.”

Keep your eye on “the magician’s other hand”.

You “suspect”? I’m a citizen, a mom, an individual who worked her way through college, and with hard work and merit scholarships, went on to graduate school - no affirmative action and zero student loans here. Same for my husband and the rest of the family. Oh, and we all think America is a downright good country. No “gimme something here” mentality. We don’t need any lectures from MO. We have volunteered thousands of hours to our community and state, using our education to change laws and improve the lives of our fellow citizens. I know hundreds of fine men and women who are better educated, have done more for this country - each one would make a far superior POTUS than BO.

And so the corruption continues. We don’t have to worry about Dean and his cohorts anymore - Obama now has complete control. It gives us a hint of what Obama will do with America if he gets into the White House.

I have hoped a viable third party would emerge for this election. I wonder if Hillary Clinton is now rethinking her devotion to the Democratic Party. The question here is are there enough people in our new coalition to assure an Obama defeat.

We have some great politcal minds on our side. We all have one goal but we are approaching it in several different ways. This is our right - we don’t want to be lemmings like all the Obama followers. We need to come together in some way to assure Obama never sees the inside of the White House - or would it be the Sears Tower.

Comment by Annie Oakley | 2008-06-13 08:20:43

It gives us a hint of what Obama will do with America if he gets into the White House.

If Democrats liked the way Obama ran his campaign, if they like him taking over His party, they’re going to love an Obama presidency. And they can’t get rid of him in 2012 if they decide they don’t like working for him.

Comment by Lou | 2008-06-13 16:31:42

Comment by cleffnote | 2008-06-13 10:36:38

On the other hand, this may be the opportunity we needed to revisit the superdelegate situation. Perhaps we need to call and write our superdelegates about the danger of having Obama win the election. Perhaps they should reconsider who they are supporting. If we can get several of the sd’s to switch back to Hillary and let the world know about it, there is a possibility that the swing back could occur and then the presumptive leader would be gone. Can we do this?

Comment by Lou | 2008-06-13 16:33:53

Well it’s probably the reason they want to keep Hill off the Convention roll. So SD’s don’t swing back. DEan is trying to get her to release her delegates. I hope she is on vacation in a far off land.

It is like a dark cloud rolling into town. I hope before it is too late America will wake up. But, with the media in your pocket, you can appear to be whatever you want.

The new smear website thing - what a joke. If you go to the heart of America into every Cracker Barrel and Walmart Obama/Marxist shit is not playing. Believe it or not Obama/Marxist idiots most of America whether the polls say it or not do not believe in your messiah.

Here we go …

thought it typical that the dem remedy for their inferior planning and logistics was a new building.

Yes, you are correct about the DNC building but of course Obama can’t possibly do business in there because Terry McAuliffe was the one who got the financing for that building. Again, thank you Terry for all you have done and are doing for Hillary.

They can start calling the DNC, the ONC. Obama refers to it as ‘his party’ now.

I refuse to be an Obamacrat.

It’s the DNC as is “Daley National Committee” now.

Despite the corruption, Daley, both of them, have managed to turn out a beautiful city, in terms of architecture.

My father worked on building the Chicago skyline, which has some very progressive, creative structures, the history of this country reflected in the buildings along the lakefront.

Every time I look at it, I remember him, and I am very proud.

Last time I went back, I saw the newer buildings, and I thought they did a very good job in terms of coordinating the various architectural periods, while still innovating, the layers complimenting one another.

Almost a work of art.

LA is coming along, too.

As a lifetime Dem, I’m supposed to be “scared” into voting for this horrible guy because of Roe v Wade and the upcoming Supreme Court selections? WHAT?

I don’t think so….try again.

Obama and his tribe of unsavory characters must remain where they belong, out of public view.

McCain looks better and better each passing day.

Hillary/McCain ‘08
NEVER EVER Obama

Comment by DianeJ | 2008-06-13 07:26:14

I agree. Today I received a horrible posting on my site and in the posting it said, “Many in the military are tired of McCain using his war hero status to hurt the troops.” I POSTED BACK (”JOHN McCain is a War Hero - GET REAL OBAMA IS NOT.”
THAT MY FRIENDS IS REALITY. LOOK I WANTED HILLARY AND STILL DO BUT IF I CAN NOT VOTE HILLARY I SURE AS HELL WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA.

“Like a manual on how to effect a takeover of the country”

Putting on my tinfoil hat for a moment…what a clever way to take over a country.

Remember the years of careful and detailed planning and the depth of penetration into our society that the 9/11 attackers manged to pull off?

A man learns “street organizing” specific to getting out the vote. He gets involved with many unsavory groups. His life is carefully scrubbed or rewritten. He is propelled through the political system.

He reaches the US Senate. He prepares carefully for the next step, even pre-paying super delegates almost $800,000.

He knows his likely opponent so he votes similarly so that the battle will be one of character not substance. He plagiarizes the opponents platforms. He appears to have little to no differences with his opponent. The only clue that something is off is that without a teleprompter, he cannot speak fluidly about his platform and fumbles on the topic. He diverts back to lofty ideas whenever possible. Discussing specific platforms might expose him. He stops participating in debates or taking open questions when it becomes too risky.

He has now infiltrated a major political Party. He builds an army of followers. He takes over the major Political party. He is branded beautifully. The media falls for it all and helps him suppress information. Advantage is taken of people unhappy with the current system, a country in financial trouble, vulnerable and/or receptive constituencies (AAs, young people, hard lefters), hatred towards an established political dynasty (Clintons), the thirst for a change. A primary is gamed expertly. Election fraud and voter suppression is rampant, yet our system is not prepared to combat yet alone address the flaws.

The major Party changes its rules in 2006 to make the delegate proportion more favorable. Then applies or changes the rules during the Primary to effect the intended outcome.

He is ready now. One step from the White House and the power that wields. He opens 150 offices to recruit more followers. Thousands of volunteers are trained in organizing and dispatched to 17 states.

The major Party is integrated with his campaign. The ungodly stream amount of money continues. His followers are millions strong. His army in the tens of thousands.

What can stop him? And whoever has planned this?

Exposure or vehemently protecting the election process in November. He intends to steal this election, if necessary.

Taking off my tin hat now.

Learn the election day procedures for your state and district. This is critical.

Keep your eye on “the magician’s other hand”.

One of Rezco’s buddies who is a supporter of the nation of Islam is behind this…what’s his name..the guy who bailed Rezco out of jail..He is behind this and he has ties to Islam in the middle east. I think he’s from Russia. He is safely roaming the streets of Chicago even though he was denied a passport..

Check out Evelyn Pringle’s articles on Rezko. This wasn’t supposed to be Obama running for Dear Leader, it was supposed to be Blago. Obama was propelled because Blago went down.

 

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-13 08:21:00

Well, no, it’s would be a fake putsch, Cheney and Bush tried it first.

Obama, and Rezko, Dean, the whole group are hardly smart.

And our government apparatus is bit more involved than the Dean/Cheney two step, they are NOT bright men, now, are they, no more smarter than your average Russian, or Saudi, or god forbid, Iranian President.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-13 08:21:30

it would be…

And they are all quiet, all our representatives are quiet. Not a word, they are all crowed! They are all tainted!

At least we know the Clintons, who people have tried to paint as corrupt for years, are not. Since they stood and fought the Chicago “machine and mob politics” to a standstill. Until Donna Brizile’s mother got into the act.

How can this be spun as unthreatening? If a million more people wake up how will they try to lull them back to sleep?

good advice to” watch the magicians other hand.”

after the real democrats leave the party and refuse to vote for the baby stalin and the new authoritarian party in chicago, election fraud is the only way obama can win in nov.

i think it was stalin who said it’s not how many votes you get, it’s who’s counting the votes.

if the former democratic party and it’s leaders can lie, steal and cheat obama’s way to the nom, now that they will have the full weight of the chi corruption beast behind them, expect just about any horror show to emerge.

the baby stalin’s coup will not go easy into that good night. we’re dealing with a very organized and wealthy puppetmaster.

and wow….the convention being moved to chicago makes me just shake my head and cringe. this is a message that there will be NO DISSENT allowed. this is smelling very very bad.

I’ll never forget When he told his daughters when asked if he stole the votes..paraphrase..”we’ll, sometimes you have to strip the opponent bare naked so they have no votes and they lose”..He told his kids that!!!

2008 the year they removed the concept of Democracy from Democratic, leave us just with the “ic”. Which is about right, it is icky.

I’m getting more and more worried about the future of the party.
