Obama the Motivational - Follow the Money

At the end of the day, this election is about choice. It’s very simple. Do we believe that the solution to our problems is found in Barack Obama’s big government model, or is found in a vibrant free enterprise system? One only has to look to Europe to see the answer. Once a country’s national debt equals or exceeds the GDP of that country, the proverbial you know what will hit the fan. There is no turning back and you get Spain and Greece with unemployment rates exceeding 25% and almost 50% for those under the age of 35.

We are almost there. I don’t understand Obama’s motivation for doing what he is doing? He is not a stupid person. I assume he reads the papers. He talks about hope and change but has yet to articulate a vision of what that is. And he obviously is filled with jealousy and envy for those who have worked hard and made it in the private sector…something he couldn’t do. His mean spiritedness is beyond all comprehension. When I am faced with an issue for which there is no obvious visible explanation, I follow the money. Who profits from what is happening?

Obama practices crony capitalism. He rewards his friends with extravagant contracts…think Solyndra; and punishes his enemies with unending and baseless investigations…think Gibson Guitar and Boeing. General Electric is the among the largest of exporters of American jobs…as well as General Motors as it builds its new mammoth plant in China…and yet he is simpatico with Jeffrey Immelt and bailed out General Motors at the feet of our bankruptcy system. And white collar workers are bad and not deserving of pension rescues, think Delphi…and blue collar workers are good and are worthy of rescued pensions, think GM.

Obama has not been hesitant to make shady deals to his financial benefit, think the house deal with convicted felon Tony Rezko. I still believe that if anyone took the time to examine Obama’s 2008 campaign reports, one would find an electronic version of the oldest political contribution scam in the book…phony ticket sales…phony small donations.

The press has ignored these questions. Reporters might have to think and do some work. I suspect that the true issue of Obama isn’t one of race or one of liberal radicalism, but rather one of dirty Chicago politics. The corruption in the Obama administration is so blatant it is breathtaking. How far does it go, and where does the money land? Follow the money.

There was big money behind Obama in 2008. I am not sure who was fooling whom…whether he was a liberal patsy bought by Chicago thugs…or whether he was a Chicago thug playing to the most radical of American liberals to find a base of support to get elected, throw them a few bones, and play with his friends back in Chicago.

I suspect the latter. Sooner or later we will find out, whether after this election or the election in 2016. It will be interesting once the next administration gets into office and gets access to the information of a man who promised to be the most open President in history.

In the meantime, watch your wallet.
