Mr. Obama’s stature has shriveled right in front of our eyes. His economic and international policies have reduced his influence from that of a president to a seamy community organizer. It is almost painful to watch him squirm on the campaign trail, pretending the voters think he has anything significant to say.
During his term in office he sailed over a sea of broken promises and lies into a raging ocean of red ink. The net worth and the opportunities of every American have crashed on the shoals of national debt, unsustainable entitlements and the dismantling of the private sector.
Now Obama is begging the people to listen as he pouts, threatens and blames his predecessors, his opponents, the weather, the wealthy and the nation’s capitalistic and Judeo-Christian traditions for sabotaging his dream of creating a social utopia.
He is not searching for redemption for his stewardship. He is too arrogant and too immature to listen to the wisdom of the nation’s founders, or bow to the Constitution, or the will of the people.
The minions, lurking in the shadows of his administration, continue to write regulations which strangle the rights and freedoms of every American. Their quest to build collective capitalism has had successes.
Healthcare services, energy suppliers and financial institutions are limping under the ruinous weight of social engineering. Family incomes are shrinking. Home ownership is imperiled. Twenty-five million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. About 42 million Americans depend on food stamps. And inflation is sucking the life out of the citizens on fixed incomes.
It’s obvious that Obama believes in collective behavior, that is, the ambitions of individuals being subservient to the goals of the federal government. In his view, government always defines and rations opportunity based on the whims and schemes of government. The personal goals of any citizen are secondary to the greater good (defined by the government) of the collective.
This explains why the hierarchy within his administration universally equates the Tea Party with terrorists. Any organization which demands smaller government, individual responsibility and laws based on the Constitution is the arch enemy of state sanctioned collective behavior advocates.
Obama’s encouragement and endorsement of the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, who demand a Marxist state, removes any doubt about his political objectives. These are his comrades in arms. His second term in office rides on the coalition of the walking stupid and public union members.
The 2012 political contest will herald all kinds of slogans about job growth and the national debt. But these are side issues. The next election will determine whether the majority of voters are more closely aligned with Madison, Jefferson and Washington or with Karl Marx and Lenin.
That the outcome is in question gives testament to the silver tongue of the nation’s first Marxist president. No wonder many people still question where he was born.
