There has been only one other time America has witnessed a presidential meltdown, and that was Richard Nixon. Add to the list President Obama. Not only has he managed to disengage himself from the pulse of America, he has managed to combine it with the arrogance of Jimmy Carter, who also didn’t understand why America didn’t love him. Over the past few weeks, Obama has managed to piss off just about everybody…except the Muslims. Give him time. He will do that, too. Who is advising this guy?
Those of us who work for a living continue to look on with amazement. The surprise isn’t that the economy is so bad. The surprise is that it isn’t worse. While Obama goes traipsing off across the country spewing hatred against the “rich” who pay most of the taxes now, but apparently not enough for Barack, and telling African Americans to quit whining, the business community has quietly deserted him (except for Warren Buffett) and is cautiously making plans for the post Obama era, which will take years of recovery. Who wants to hire anyone when the President of the United States has hammered business with health care, added environmental regulation upon environmental regulation, saddled banks with all sorts of new rules, and refuses to drill for oil while loaning untold sums of money to a green energy company owned by one of his chief fundraisers that went belly up with your tax money? Hello!!! Are you listening?
Even the newspapers are backing away from this guy. The Washington Post is all of a sudden running critical editorials about him. The Chicago Tribune says he should not run for office again. Progressives are scared out of their minds. If Obama loses next fall, and loses big, the Progressive Movement in America will be dead. The grand experiment will be a failure with more poor than ever, and an economy at a complete standstill. In order to survive, the Progressives will have to disassociate themselves from Obama.
Bill O’Reilly in his talking points on Monday night did an outstanding job of reviewing the history of the Progressive Movement in America. He framed the debate this way. Is this going to be an America built on capitalism and the Judeo-Christian ethic? Or is this going to be a society based on central planning by a secular, all encompassing government? It’s that simple.
Obama told you he wanted to fundamentally change America. He just didn’t tell you how. But if you had looked, you would have seen his friends, most of which were left wing, violent, sixties radicals. Look at where he went to church. Reverend Wright preached a radical religion rooted in violent social justice. That’s what counts to Barack Obama. That is what he knows. In the meantime, his wife is dancing wearing $40,000.00 cuff bracelets, and flying off to Spain for one of her own personal vacations. Can you say "tone deaf"?
There are those who hoped he would move to the center. Not going to happen!!!! It’s not because he doesn’t want to. It’s because he doesn’t know what the center is. He has led a charmed life of privilege not fed by work, but by his appealing personality. He was the black guy the white folks could behind to show how tolerant they are. No one taught him anything else. He is truly living what he believes.
His poll numbers have yet to reflect his speech to the Black Congressional Caucus. If you think they are bad now, you ain’t seen nothing yet. His class warfare themes are not ringing true to the American public. They know why there are no jobs and the economy is tanking: No energy. No money. Too much regulation. Too much uncertainty, and a hostile environment for business the likes of which this country has never seen before.
America has stopped listening to him. Finally America is beginning to absorb what this man has done and who he is. He is descending to irrelvance. For a politician, that is a career death knell.
