“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Nixon has nothing on Obama

UPDATED AND BUMPED TO TOP.  See update below.

 So noted "DrewM" at the "Ace of Spades" blog, where he linked this article.
First a Romney supporter was named on an Obama campaign website. That was followed by the slimy trolling into a citizen's private life.
 Here's what happens when the president of the United States publicly targets a private citizen for the crime of supporting his opponent.

Frank VanderSloot is the CEO of Melaleuca Inc. The 63-year-old has run that wellness-products company for 26 years out of tiny Idaho Falls, Idaho. Last August, Mr. VanderSloot gave $1 million to Restore Our Future, the Super PAC that supports Mitt Romney.

Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, "Keeping GOP Honest," took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney. Titled "Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney's donors," the post accused the eight of being "wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records." Mr. VanderSloot was one of the eight, smeared particularly as being "litigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement."

About a week after that post, a man named Michael Wolf contacted the Bonneville County Courthouse in Idaho Falls in search of court records regarding Mr. VanderSloot. Specifically, Mr. Wolf wanted all the documents dealing with Mr. VanderSloot's divorces, as well as a case involving a dispute with a former Melaleuca employee.
Read The Whole Thing.  Seriously.  Also from DrewM:

"Liberals aren't interested in debate, they are interested in punishing enemies."

Update I:  the attacks are working.   And here's the link to Mr. VanderSloot's firm, Melaleuca.

Update II:  I should note, this is not an endorsement of Melaleuca.  The link is provided for your information, so that you can see the sort of businesses that Obama and his cronies attack for political purposes.
