Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, the chairman of the conservative FreedomWorks organization, is warning that an “emboldened” President Obama, fresh off a big healthcare victory, will redouble his efforts to transform America by escalating the size and reach of government.

In an exclusive interview conducted Tuesday with Newsmax.TV’s Kathleen Walter, says Obama won liberal Democrats’ votes by pledging to promote their top issues. Now, he says, those liberals will be looking for him to deliver.

“When he went to get his last few votes,” Armey tells Newsmax, “he went to the liberals who said they won’t vote for it because it’s not enough. He said ‘Give us your votes, we’ll get our foot in the door, we’ll make that first step, and we’ll give you single payer [healthcare system] down the road.

“So he’s not done with this, don’t kid yourself,” Armey says. “But now he’s emboldened.”

Obama’s apparent triumph in altering the one-sixth of the U.S. economy represented by healthcare, Armey says, increases “immeasurably the likelihood of him saying, ‘All right, now it’s time to go for climate change.'”

Those committed to fighting further federal expansion must prepare for the next battle, Armey tells Newsmax.

“We’re going to have to go after that front now, and fight this fight for liberty on the front of the politics of greed wrapped in the language of love for the environment,” he says.
