Fox guarding henhouse

Six months ago, Robyn Sachs had an epiphany.

And on Tuesday, the self-described Democratic Jewish woman from Maryland — and CEO of Rockville marketing company RMR & Associates — launched an online effort sparked by that Road to Damascus experience. Her mission: to save the country by defeating President Obama in November.

Together with Northern Virginia entrepreneurs, Sachs has formed Entrepreneurs for Free Enterprise, which is dedicated to save “the free America we all know and love,” she said in an interview.

Calling Obama a socialist who is leading the U.S. down the path of Greece and Spain, Sachs said the president is attacking “job creators” through his health insurance law and his calls for letting the Bush-era income tax cuts expire for the richest earners at the end of the year.

“This administration has gone too far,” Sachs said. “I’ve never been a political person … now I’m seeing our country hijacked.”

Corporate America has plenty of cash to hire more people, she said. It’s the “uncertainty” engendered by the policies of “King Obama” that is restraining employers from adding to their payrolls.

Sachs’ conversion came when a group she belongs to, the Entrepreneurs Organization, asked her to write about how the 2012 presidential election would affect entrepreneurs. Some quick online research led to her newfound passion for politics. Her prior ignorance resulted from her reliance on the “mainstream media” for news, she said.

“If you want real news, you better watch Fox,” she said. “They’re the only one telling the truth.”

Rupert Murdoch would be pleased.
