demagoguery= strickland+obama

Demagogy

Demagogy ( /ˈdɛməɡɒi/[1]) or demagoguery ( /ˈdɛməɡɒɡəri/[2]) (Ancient Greek: δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos "people" and ἄγειν agein "to lead") is a strategy for gaining political power by appealing to the prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public—typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist, populist or religious themes. What qualifies as demagogy has been the subject of debate and ambiguity since Aristophanes first used the term, in reference to the Athenian statesman, Cleon.[3]

This is obama and strickland to a tee.

Some thoughts about the union protests in Wisconson and Ohio.

  1. Strickland is using up what little good will he had with the public when he left office. He was defeated and he is no longer Governor. Yet he insists in getting into bed with the public employee unions and obama's brown shirts.
  2. Wisconson's protests prove the conservative's points. They are teachers who have called off sick. Who, in the real world, would call of work sick and then go in front of TV cameras and protest the same people that gave them the very generous sick time to begin with? In the private sector, these folks would be fired. These people have no fear of being fired or even disciplined for lying to their employer, the tax payers. This is exactly the type of entitlement attitude that the public is fed up with.
  3. Here we have a bunch of tax payer funded "Doctors" handing out fake "sick notes" to tax payer funded employees who are gaming the sick day system.
  4. barry is sending his brown shirt thugs to incite violence. Keep it up obama, you are on the wrong side on this one. Your true Bolchevick leanings are finally really showing through. You had a chance to be "moderate" yet all you really are is a national socialist, community organizer, union thug.
  5. I like what I see from Kasich, so far..... if he can get the unions this mad at him, he must be doing something right. Of course, this is not much of a standard, as the unions get mad when anyone talks about saving taxpayers money.
  6. States can't print money like obama and the ferderal reserve. Something has to be done. If Strickland was still in office, he'd have to deal with this issue. The unions would have been strangely silent.
  7. Strickland is really being a demagogue on this. He was just Governor. He knows exactly the mess our states budget is in. He helped cause it. Now, he's out calling our new Governor names? Give me a break!
  8. barry and ted both helped cause this with barry printing funny money and handing it out to the states (to keep their union buddies employed with taxpayer money) and ted kicking the hard decisions down the road to the next Governor. He has no right to get righteous on this.
