Why Mr. President, why?

One of the first things a budding trial lawyer learns is, never ask a question to which he doesn’t already know the answer. I’m not a lawyer so, I’m not bound by that rule.

My question: Why, Mr. President, why? - - would you run for the Office of the President of the United States, if you didn’t sincerely want to address the nation’s problems and do something constructive about re-dressing them?

As a SINO (Senator In Name Only) you had at least, the occasional experience of dealing with other ‘members’ who held opposing viewpoints to your own. Granted, you voted ‘Present’ more times than you voted For or Against legislation. Even then, you avoided the tiresome process of working with others or making a decision.

In retrospect, it is quite apparent that you are a single-minded chap whose only concerns are those that are self-centered. Your history is one of a concerted effort toward advancing yourself to positions of increasing power, leading to the ultimate office that permits you to exercise dominance over any and all opposition. Rather than availing yourself of opportunities to exchange viewpoints with other duly- elected representatives of the people in order to reach mutually-agreeable solutions, you choose to bully others into submission. That is the way of the Chicago street thug. That is the way of the Community Organizer. That is the way of the Muslim Brotherhood. That is your way, Mr. President, Sir.

That is not the way of a truly patriotic American President who believes in the Constitution of the United States. It is not the way of someone who understands the meaning of leadership and actually knows how to lead. A true leader doesn’t think in terms of ‘leading from behind’. And so, when you issued that statement, you provided us with a crystal-clear insight into your perverted way of thinking. And, it is ugly, Sir.

Your warped philosophy, born of your life-long indoctrination in failed Socialist ideology – stinks! Your objective of imposing dictatorial, tyrannical controls over every aspect of American life, deceptively obscured in your pathetically pandering catch phrase – “Hope and Change”, is unfortunately, enjoying temporary political success. Lincoln said it best: “You can fool some of the people all the time.” Time will bring about, change. One wonders why you would kick, claw and scratch your way to the Presidency if you weren’t seriously interested in solving the nation’s problems, using the tools provided by the tenets of the Constitution? Why would you seek the highest office if it weren’t for the opportunity it would provide to improve the lot of the American people? Hmmm?

Why would you use the bully pulpit of the Presidency to pit various segments of the American population against each other, rather than using that voice to bring all elements of the American people together in an effort to make us more unified, to make us stronger?

Could it be that you had and still have, ulterior motives? Could it be that you had in mind all along, to bring about a total reform that is based upon Socialist policies? Could it be that you had in mind all along, to affect a stealthy transformation of our three equal branches of the Federal Government into a Shariah-compliant system with a hierarchy of Imams as its final authority? Or, might the leader in our future be someone as – let’s just say for instance – someone like Muhammud Morsi, newly-ensconced head of the Muslim Brotherhood? Hmmm?

Could it be that you are more inclined to enjoy the speech-making rather than the hard work part of being President of the United States? Could it be that you want more than anything other than life itself, to enjoy the perks of the Office? Could it be that freely spending other people’s money brings with it an intoxication that you find impossible to resist? Could it be that this is your raison d’etre, your very reason for being?

Could it be that you prefer the trappings of a Potentate as opposed to those of a mere President? Do you believe that extended vacations in exotic locations, with your family and a corps of personal servants and security details that will cost tax-payers millions of dollars during these times of national economic crisis - are due you because of your prodigious effort while criss-crossing the nation in pursuit of your re-election? Hmmm?

Obviously, we all know these answers to the question, “Why Mr. President, why?
