We predicted this. Some called him a crook and others called him a Chicago thug. We all knew that Obama wasn’t what he said he was, nor was he honest. His own history tells the real story.
Obama has always played politics when given the opportunity, and left his actual constituents in the cold. He never went against the Chicago machine, which exploited the poor for power and greed. And when called upon, he sent letters to his constituents to vote for the emissaries of the Chicago machine. This was the man asking to change our nation, yet he never even tried to change Chicago.
I had a principal in high school who often said: “If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem.”
And now he runs the country.
Charles Krauthammer wrote a great article exposing the deception of Obama in his current attempts to “save” the nation:
The logic of Obama’s address to Congress went like this:
“Our economy did not fall into decline overnight,” he averred. Indeed, it all began before the housing crisis. What did we do wrong? We are paying for past sins in three principal areas: energy, health care, and education — importing too much oil and not finding new sources of energy (as in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Outer Continental Shelf?), not reforming health care, and tolerating too many bad schools.
The “day of reckoning” has now arrived. And because “it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we’ll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament,” Obama has come to redeem us with his far-seeing program of universal, heavily nationalized health care; a cap-and-trade tax on energy; and a major federalization of education with universal access to college as the goal.
Amazing. As an explanation of our current economic difficulties, this is total fantasy. As a cure for rapidly growing joblessness, a massive destruction of wealth, a deepening worldwide recession, this is perhaps the greatest non sequitur ever foisted upon the American people.
Obama losses credibility when he refuses to admit why we are in our current dilemma, instead giving us some excuse that helps him push his agenda. And it seems that by and large America is not questioning him.
Krauthammer continues:
And yet with our financial house on fire, Obama makes clear both in his speech and his budget that the essence of his presidency will be the transformation of health care, education and energy. Four months after winning the election, six weeks after his swearing in, Obama has yet to unveil a plan to deal with the banking crisis.
What’s going on? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. “This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before.”
Things. Now we know what they are. The markets’ recent precipitous decline is a reaction not just to the absence of any plausible bank rescue plan, but also to the suspicion that Obama sees the continuing financial crisis as usefully creating the psychological conditions — the sense of crisis bordering on fear-itself panic — for enacting his “Big Bang” agenda to federalize and/or socialize health care, education and energy, the commanding heights of post-industrial society.
For those willing to listen, you will hear Obama beat the drum of ideology when he speaks. If his fervent dishonesty goes unchallenged, he will change American into his own image of what he believes it should be.
A liberal caller proclaimed to Mark Levin the other night “We won, you lose!”. Mark replied with a much more accurate statement: “You won, we all lose!”
