He Hasn’t a Clue!

The hype surrounding our President, Barack Hussein Obama, is hard to fathom after 5 years as our chief executive. The aura of his “perceived” exceptional knowledge, and the quest for racial diversity seemed to cause rapture among the majority of voters in 2008 and again in 2012. In 2008, he did the unthinkable, he beat out, for the Democratic nomination, the assumed favorite, Hillary Clinton. He was touted by his group of election-savvy handlers as being the coming of the Messiah. A fresh change and face from the 8 years of George W. Bush, whom the media and the Democrats hated with a passion.

Little was known about him (and still little is known about him even today), but he was heralded and sold as a person who would “transform” the United States for the better. Most people were unaware of his past and his associations with radicals as he grew up as a young man and into his adulthood. Dribs and drabs oozed out, but the “main stream media” avoided any real scrutiny that might’ve put him in a bad light. The media invested all their political capital into getting Obama elected. McCain didn’t have a chance as the Obama juggernaut roused an army of “low information” voters and special interest groups (ex. Blacks, unions, gays, feminists etc.). With the surge of voters (many on a racial guilt trip) with Obama at the top of the ticket, he was able to pull along enough Congressmen and Senators to get a majority in both houses of Congress. As a result and by some slight of hand (political extortion), he was able to mobilize his Democratic members in the House and Senate to pass his health care initiative, Obamacare (rightfully known by many as the “(Un)Affordable Care Act), without one Republican vote in the House or Senate. He, and the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate, ignored the Republicans completely in their drafting of this health care monstrosity. Relations between the parties have never been more strained since and it looks like the animosity between the parties is getting even worse.

Never in my lifetime has a president been so aloof of the everyday details of the office of president. He never seems to know who, what or where about the details a president is supposed to be on top of. He always says he just learned about a happening from the press or on T.V. or that someone in the know didn’t fill him in on the details. In other words, it’s always somebody else’s fault, never his.

His philosophy of governing has been passed down to him by his mother and grandparents (admitted Socialists), and by his mentor in Hawaii during his teen years, Frank Marshall Davis, an admitted Communist, his leftist professors in college, and in Chicago, his adopted hometown, from admitted domestic terrorist and radical, Bill Ayers, and his association with radical, black liberation preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an avowed Socialist. In addition, he embraced the radical philosophy of the late Saul Alinsky, author of the book, “Rules for Radicals”, which Obama taught students in the Univ. of Chicago law school, as a lecturer. These radical policies have been incorporated in his attempt to “transform America”, which so far has produced some disastrous results as our economy still hasn’t fully recovered from the disastrous recession that began in the fall of 2008.

I say, without a doubt in my mind, that our “Liar in Chief”, Barack Hussein Obama, hasn’t a realistic clue as to how to run our country. For us to not challenge his policies, under threat of being called a racist, would be a sin of the worst kind. Whether we succeed or not, we must try to halt this “evil” total transformation of America. It is in the interest of our children and grandchildren that we succeed.
