Are the Inmates Running the Asylum?

Can you imagine that people who came from a “bureaucratic” criminal enterprise like the City of Chicago, will be running the re-election campaign of Barack Hussein Obama? Many astute observers have said that Obama is not his own man, but is being manipulated and orchestrated by people around him, namely his friends and boosters from the City of Chicago. They say he is, “The Manchurian President”. Could that be?

Remember, he had a minimum of experience in government (no executive experience at all) before he was thrust upon the world stage by running for President. His handlers figured that they could turn the discontent rampant in the country, at the end of Bush's second term, and use the oratorical skills of that “politically correct” candidate, Barack Hussein Obama, to take the White House back from the Republicans and to “transform” the country into a Marxist/Socialist state, which was their goal for many years past. His mentors and advisers were all committed Socialists like the Rev Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleger, Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn, Louis Farrakhan, David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett etc. Much to the chagrin of the Clinton's, and their potent political organization, and eventually the Republicans, and with a vast campaign war-chest of over $700 million, they exceeded their dreams and elected him as President in 2008.

Look at the nonsense that went on recently on whether or not Obama's former Chief of Staff, Rahm “Rhambo” Emanuel was eligible to run for Mayor of Chicago. Everyone, except an alien from outer space, would not have bet against the Illinois Supreme Court in its decision to let “Rhambo” back on the ballot. All those Supreme Court justices are in an “elective” position and none wanted to alienate the Cook County “crooks” by voting against letting their fair-haired boy, Emanuel, stay on the ballot, even though the lower Appeals Court interpreted the law the way it was written and ruled that he was ineligible. You don't bet against the establishment and the power boys in a city like Chicago. Remember, this was the home of Al Capone and the Daley machine.

That is why Obama is going to make Chicago his re-election headquarters for the 2012 election. He feels comfortable in a setting like that.

Never have we seen, even in the Carter administration, such an inept, overly partisan, inexperienced group of people who are in charge of our country, than this Chicago bunch we have running things now.

With all the turmoil around the Middle East and the world, as a whole, why should we have to be saddled with an outfit more like the Keystone Kops rather than a group of efficient diplomats and free market economists? We are the laughing stock of the world and most all the other countries can't figure us out as to why we, the voters, were so stupid in putting this bumbling group of misfits in power. Our loss is their loss, according to them.

You could definitely say, without any qualms, that the “inmates are definitely running the asylum” and we can't do anything about it, in any substantive way, till Nov. 2012. Once we can rid ourselves of this cancer, we might be able to reclaim our position as the #1 country of the world and have the other countries respect us again.
God bless America!
