“He’s got an enemies list that would make Richard Nixon proud.”

Former GE CEO Jack Welch on Obama: “He’s got an enemies list that would make Richard Nixon proud.” The one-time CEO of one of Barry’s favorite crony capitalist concerns notes “there can be no denying that the country is more polarized than when Obama took office.” A divider not a uniter? Oh, why don’t you just admit it Jack, you don’t like him ’cause he’s got a funny name.

  • I am sure all Presidents have enemies lists. This is not new nor surprising. The only thing about it that would be interesting is to see the quality of the list due to the people on it. I think that it is safe to assume that Obama has as enemies everyone that disagrees with him even a little. The man has an history of pettiness.

  • Good for Welch. Hopefully he can slip a little campaign slush into the tracks for Romney. In the meantime . . . I hope he hires food taster.

      • I'm not too sure of that. I think that if he keeps marginalizing Hillary, Obama might be the one that needs to watch his back!

        • Nah, The Clintons know the entore country is hacked with Obama. This guy, however, is not well enough hated to count on the populace taking care of the Clinton's desires. Of course, Hillary says she isn't ever running again. Bill says she will, but his reasoning sounds like he is projecting his own desires onto her.

  • You know that little barry provided the list to the IRS, with instructions to harass everyone of his enemies. Why do you think he needs 5,100 new IRS agents?

  • The more I observe Obama's actions - and associated lack of actions in other arena's - the more I am convinced that he is learning his leadership role well. Everything is a process, every process is a journey. As America is being re-constructed into a social utopia she will need an ultimate ruler for the fascism to come. What better candidate than Mr. Manchurian himself?

  • His enemies list is the entirety of the Israeli population, the UK, 250 million or so Americans(especially the military men and women/serving and retired).

    The man is a menace. Re-elect him America-and see just how much of a mistake you have made.

    Freedom of speech is all but gone now-wait til re-election.

    Say goodbye to your guns.

    A moron bureaucrat will decide when you live and die(o-care).

    the NBP will be given gubment issue M-16's, and uniforms.

    And you will be forced to go to a mosque on Saturdays.

    Open your eyes-the fall of America is here. Vote Obama and die at his hands.

    You IHTM regulars-remember I called this years ago-years and years ago.

    • You have limited control over the actions of a 1st term President. Once he is a lame duck, we are all screwed. Any semblance of actually responding to the population will be lost in the dust of him shoving through every wild-haired scheme he can think of. Be warned.

  • The diagnosisis is more clear everyday. Unprincipled narcissist featuring antisocial and paranoid behaviors.
