Hillary and Obama: Who cares?


Who cares?  At this point, who cares? 

Hillary, well rehearsed and focused on dissembling, delivered the line in an Oscar-worthy performance.  Once again, standing behind a lying man, she is willing to trade her, “also ran” standing on the world stage for personal honor.  Since graduating college, this woman does not have a single item on her resume that she did not acquire but by being a compliant apologist to a philandering, but powerful, husband.  Well, at least she married well.  Now, once again the faithful ploy, she is lying as well as she can so President Obama is not revealed as a careless, unschooled and ideologically driven leader, unequal to his most relevant task.   

            Anyone, not sold, body and soul, on the myth of The Obama knows what happened in Libya.  The administration wanted to maintain an appearance of having tamed the Islamic militants.  The violence against an American Embassy (essentially American soil in the midst of a foreign country) so great that it would require military action would soil that image.  Decisions were made by the President’s aides to leave the Embassy alone and hope for the best.  When lives were lost and an Embassy torched those same aides lied, fabricated and misrepresented as much and as often as they could to make the President look good and his opponents look bad.  They had an election to win.  At no time did a moral or strategic duty enter into consideration. 

            I have said before that President Obama is an ill prepared Chief Executive who wants the title more than the job of President of the United States.  He is so emotionally fragile that he surrounds himself with second rate advisors who won’t challenge his thinking.  His only goals for this country are to turn it into a patriarchal, socialistic, militarily weak and declining country.  The legacy he wants is to punish and chastise the United States for all of its past sins, the chief among them being that we couldn’t convince his father to stay at home.  There is a lot of complex psychology here, folks, but it radiates from this man like gamma rays.  I doubt that Hillary buys into Obama’s hubris and self-absorption, but she will play along if it gets her farther down the road.  

I appreciated the President’s 2nd Inaugural Address.  At last we were allowed to see the man behind the curtain.  It’s all about global warming, civil rights and getting illegal aliens a voting status.  Record deficits?  No problem.   No budget?  No problem.  Social programs heading us toward financial ruin?  No problem.  Threats like those faced by our diplomat staff in Libya?   No problem.  Obama finally came out of his political closet.   

Some of us saw exactly what we expected (I had hoped for better, but, alas…); others saw someone they simply didn’t recognize; others cheered for the, “real” Obama.  Liberals, of course, are delighted, and will remain so until the Little Prince starts waffling on his promises to them as well—and he will the minute the going gets tough and requires creative thinking and good parliamentary skills.  Obama is unhappy with this country and does intend to change it.  Since the majority of voters said that Obama’s agenda is what they want (even if they were either ignorant or wrong in their judgment) this is what they will get.  It will be interesting to see if the majority feel this way four years hence, when someone is going to have to clean up the mess the Little Prince will leave behind. 

We will need a big broom, mop and cleanser to keep the faith.

A Generation of Serfs

  On October 25, 1415, Henry V of England laid some serious hurt on the French at the Battle of Agincourt at Pas-de-Calais, France.   Part of the success of this campaign was due to Henry’s use of the longbow, but part of it also goes to the creative use of military indentures.   These legal contracts required all the English captains to provide specified amounts of men, material and time to the King’s cause.             An indenture was a document, written in duplicate and then torn along a jagged line, like little teeth ( dents ), in the paper.   One portion of the contract was in possession of each party and when the required conditions and period of service were fulfilled, the parts reunited, and the debt was considered paid.   Many of the people who first came to this country from England came as indentured servants, worked off their debt and became the backbone of the country.             Today we are creating a nation not of indentured servants, someone with a carefully

Our Beautiful Constitution and its Ugly Opponents

 The Constitution is our anchor of stability in a turbulent world!   We can withstand a bad President and a petulant Congress (for the short term, at least) because our Constitution both guides and limits.   If someone asked me to provide proof of a loving God, I would simply ask them how else so many geniuses in the matter of human governance could have been clustered together in the right time and place to create both our country and the means to govern it.    Our founding fathers had the vision to devise a way to not only govern themselves, but govern a country that they could not imagine, yet believed would prevail. The constitution of the United States is like a good parent.   It has allowed us to grow up as we have grown older, with the result that the United States of America is the oldest living democracy in the world.   The miracle of this document is that it lives, breathes and moves with the times.   The three branches of our government work together while standing alone

"You Didn't Build That:" Part I

Late in the day on Friday, July 13 th , President Obama mounted the stage of Historic Firehouse Number One in Roanoke , Virginia .   The room held around 800 people but it was hot and several people fainted.   In front of a carefully screened group of supporters he gave one of the most important speeches of his reelection campaign.    It was not meant to be a major speech.   That will come in the even more carefully scripted Convention Hall in Charlotte , North Carolina this September in front of adoring media and rabid political supporters.   But this speech in Roanoke is crucial to the 2012 election because on Friday, in Virginia , President Obama went off message.   Whether through error or hubris, he abandoned his script and spoke off the cuff.   And in so doing, he showed us the man behind the curtain.   The angry but controlled, insecure yet charismatic, market fearful, socialistically inclined man that Barrack Obama really is. I am speaking, of course, of the now famou
