I didn’t see Michelle Obama’s speech the other night, but I’ve seen a
few people, including one writer at CNN online, quoting this line from her
speech:
"Being president doesn't change who you are. ... It reveals who
you are."
Wow. That’s quite a nice line,
to be sure. Unless you actually think
about it, that is. Because, even being
as objective as I can possibly be, I can’t think of anything good that’s been
revealed about Barack Obama by his presidency.
Being president has revealed that, contrary to his criticisms of Bush
and the promises made in 2008, Obama obviously has no sincere interest in
reducing the debt. In fact, he’s been
quite busy doing just the opposite – multiplying it as fast as he possibly can
as if he’s on some kind of game show.
Obama revealed that he doesn’t care about balancing the budget during
our lifetimes, because he proposed a budget so absurd that it was laughed out
of congress – even by democrats.
If you believe Obama’s claims that he thought an $800 billion stimulus
was the solution to our problems and it didn’t work because he didn’t really
understand how bad off we really were, then It’s been revealed that he’s
clueless about the economy. If you
believe he had other motives in mind, as I do, then it’s been revealed that the
health of the U.S. economy doesn’t matter to Obama except to the extent that he
needs to give people just enough hope to be re-elected. Either way, nothing good has been revealed.
The Obama presidency has revealed that he’s an enforcer of socialized
medicine, willing to shove it down the throat of every American whether they
want it or not. And it’s been revealed
that this took precedence over most everything else in his first term,
including jobs. Also revealed were his
plans to socialize the cost of higher education (so that people who chose not
to go to college have to pay for those who did), mortgage losses (so that
people who take responsibility for their choices have to pay for those who
don’t), and losses in the auto industry (so union members keep their jobs at
the expense of taxpayers), among others.
He’s a socialist, Michelle. That’s
what’s been revealed.
He’s revealed that his criticisms of the war were just political
posturing, as he has continued a similar path to George Bush with a war of his
own, minus the will to actually win it.
He revealed that he is a divider of Americans: rich vs. poor, men vs.
women, white vs. non-white, gay vs. straight.
There’s a great trait in a U.S. president, eh Michelle?
He’s revealed that this country, under his administration, is to be run
by unelected “czars."
He’s revealed that he does not actually believe in transparency in the
government, as he boasted in 2008, because he has not overseen a transparent
administration.
I can only assume that Michelle and her speechwriters were counting on
people not to think too hard about what has been revealed in this Obama
presidency.
Yes, Obama has revealed a lot about himself as dictator in Chief. That is a very good summary. I think most educated people predicted how this would turn out, but what is surprising to me is how much people eat up what the D's delivered at the DNC as I see them getting a surge in the polls. Are we really that dumb to be fooled again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patrick.
DeleteIn answer to your question, yes we are that dumb, or at least some of us are. Over the decades the Left has made sure the American public is both dumbed down AND insulated from the consequences of their behaviors.
I think you are right. We are of dwindling intellect.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that Oblame-O's an outright socisalist, plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteI think that Obama has shown more fascism (government control of the means of production) rather than socialism (government ownership of the means of production). But some of both.
ReplyDeleteThe First Lady's quote, I think is adapted from the line, "Sports don't develop character; they reveal it." The incredible power and weight of the presidency, I think, does change who must holders are. I think, though, that it has NOT changed this one. He's the dangerously-flawed man that emerged from the dangerously-flawed boy.
I agree, drpete. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteIt makes you wonder who he is! Is he a bubbling fool who is cluesless to what he's doing and merely a tool of the left? Or is he a maniacal and evil leftist who is carrying out a progressive plot to dismantle freedom in America.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I really don't care though, I just want him out of office. Either way he is every bit as dangerous as a Hitler.
BTW; New post, yes finally!
Thanks, Jim. I'm on my way to check out your new post.
