This was the moment...

Look folks, you can worship at President Obama's feet all you want to. He's funny, has charisma and charm, and is very likable. But his decisions are another matter entirely. Remember the words of First Lady Obama, "Barrack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual: uninvolved, uninformed..." First of all, it bothers me greatly when someone casually informs me that "[He] will never allow" some particular thing in relation to my personal life, especially when that person is speaking of a government official who is merely running for (not even voted into) office yet. I'm amazed at how many voters apparently didn't bother to ask themselves: How much more control will he want once in office if he's already talking like a parent? I think we are starting to see the tip of the iceberg now. Secondly, this simple sentence is so telling of what the left thinks of the rest of America.

If you're not in the club, you're scum...or even worse, a white male with a good job. There are two groups of people that the left needs to "succeed": the very rich and the very poor. The rich have to be rich enough (or feel guilty enough) to be willing to throw money away and dumb enough to think they are helping create wealth for the poor (giving to the poor and giving to the poor via the government's sticky bureaucratic fingers are two different things). The poor have to be down and out enough to think they need the government's help and dumb enough to think that will help them be more like the rich. Both benefit psychologically in the short term and probably lose in the long term.

All you need do is simply look at the government's idea of minimum wage which has helped to create lots and lots of unemployed young black men. What is a business going to do when labor costs go up? Use less of it, of course. Suddenly a business goes from willing to pay at least something for work to being forced to either pay more or pay nothing, hence unemployment. And that's supposed to be progressive? People look at these "new" ideas like health care for all and get a stupid sort of giddy over them and pay NO attention to the realistic consequences. Chris Matthews once said in regards to one of Obama's speeches, "I felt this thrill right up my leg." That was Obama reaching for your wallet, Chris. You're in trouble, pal, and you don't even know it yet. And I'm not just talking about your ratings.



My favorite part of this video is how Keith Olbermann is talking about the song, Johnny B. Goode, playing in the background, specifically "instrumental only", right before the words kick in. It's not a huge deal, but this is a typical example of the left having no sense of fact versus whatever they want to say; not really worried whether they represent truth per se. Maybe there is a reason after all that Mrs. Obama said people were uninvolved and uninformed. She's used to spending time with other liberals.

Mrs. Obama was right about one thing: we were uninformed. Uninformed about how many trillions of dollars of debt we were going to incur (more than all the cumulative debt from George Washington to George W), how we were going to become owners of bankrupt companies, how personal responsibility would soon be incrementally replaced by government teat suckling, and how many times we'd be hearing how sorry we are for being raping, murdering, thieving, inconsiderate fat cats to crowds of raping, murdering, thieving, inconsiderate fat cats. But after all, double standards are the leftists' Swiss Army knife. Oh, that's right...George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, most Hollywood actors (to name a few) are liberals. In other words, liberals with more money than you can fathom. They're always trying to tell you that conservatism is a white, rich man's game. Ever wonder why they say that so much? Surely not to get you off of their trail.

To the left, the real people of this great nation mean nothing; they have no inherent value unless they vote left or have money to give to the left. That is why abortion comes so easy, why illegal immigration is necessary, and health care is a hot topic. They need people in the palms of their hands. To them, the citizens of the US are lazy, ignorant, unintelligent, incapable of managing their money and time, and directionless. If that were actually true, do you really think the president of the US is going to be able to change all that in 4 to 8 years? In his own self-absorbed and slick way, Obama proves his incapacity for doing so by ignorantly yet self-assuredly thinking he is the only man for the job. The problem I've always had and still have with Obama is simply this: he is a class president, not a US President.

"5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." Many years of working to get back what we didn't know we had until it was gone. This was the moment.
