Obama Fostering Buyer’s Remorse
by Jayme Evans (8/24/09)
Despite all of the madness surrounding Democrat attempts to literally shove legislation despised by 80 percent of America down our collective throats, there is a wonderful thing happening throughout this entire country right now.
Citizens of every conceivable demographic are awakening to the motivations of the Democrat Party and vigorously rejecting the Marxist policies of Barack Obama. They are educating themselves, participating in their democracy, studying legislation and showing up to debate their representatives. They’re finally coming to realize what I realized long ago: That Barack Obama is an empty suit with a Teleprompter and radical, Marxist views and that electing someone with a background as fuzzy as his was a dangerous proposition.
Over and over again, I hammered away at Obama’s persona as a brilliant orator and politician. I have exposed his inexperience, belligerence and narcissism. I predicted that he lacked the spine and the leadership to be president and that because of his liberal ideology, he would have a lot of trouble. I said he would be pulled to and fro in a tug-of-war between the radical, liberal wing of his party and the rest of the nation. Finally, I said that he was setting expectations so incredibly high, that he would find it virtually impossible to meet them. And that is exactly what is occurring.
Tired of what they perceive as the imbalance of the American way, and unwilling to work for what they have like the rest of us, liberals now seemingly feel entitled to just take it. On issue after issue, they have pressured Obama to radically tip the balance in their favor. And in nearly every case, he has indeed bowed to that pressure.
· Through Executive Orders, he has adopted administrative rules that favor unions throughout federal government. Much of his energy-related stinkulus work, such as solar-panel construction, can only be done by union contractors. And his attempts to bolster union membership by abolishing the secret ballot continue.
· As many conservatives knew he would, he is still at work formulating a plan to silence conservative talk radio by instituting so-called “diversity” rules which would favor minority (read: liberal) ownership and result in the suppression of conservative opinions.
· He has used billions of your tax dollars to prop up the United Auto Workers Union and a few select financial institutions.
· He has taken over a huge share of the economy through bailouts of auto companies and banks. And, now he’s girding for control of the entire health care industry, which comprises 1/5th of the entire US economy.
Eight years of the Bush Administration, the wars, the spending and his general forfeiture of conservative principles left America in a funk. And, because Barack Obama spoke so eloquently and sensibly about how he would fix the country, they were willing to give him a chance. The ObaMessiah would never have been elected, if not for Middle America. He would not be where he is today, if not for large numbers of political independents and the faith and good will they extended to him. But, how has Obama repaid them? He bullies them, lies to them and calls their concerns illegitimate. So, those same people who trusted Obama to deliver on his promises are beginning to understand that he possesses a belief system that was far more radical than they were willing to admit, so they’re jumping off his bandwagon even faster than MSNBC jumped on, lest they be tossed under it.
It’s now clear that Obama’s stinkulus was exactly what I said it was: Free money to his constituency; a massive transfer of wealth disguised as an economic aid package. Barely 10 percent has been spent, yet he claims that it has rescued our economy. At the same time, he sends conflicting messages that, without health care reform, our economy will suffer catastrophe.
His spending orgy has added two trillion dollars to the 10-year budget deficit, which is now projected to be 10 trillion dollars. Obama has no way to pay for war on private insurance and America knows it. They also know that he’ll saddle them with even more debt in order to pay for it if they allow him to do so.
Obama and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke have begun pointing to modest economic activity as an indication that the recession is easing. There may be signs of life, but the worst may be yet to come. The indicators that Obama and Bernanke used to trumpet our upward climb are new life in the housing market and the improving health of the auto industry. But government intervention caused those upticks. $8,000.00 credits given to first-time home buyers and $4,500.00 credits for new cars (government spending) drove that activity. Unemployment levels continue to climb, as do foreclosures and consumers remain tight-fisted out of well-placed fear. Our economy is souring at a slightly slower pace. With government remaining the major economic contributor and Barack Obama’s insatiable appetite for middle class tax dollars, we are no longer creating wealth in America, simply moving it around. Eventually, the bills must be paid. Higher taxes, Inflation or hyper-inflation is inevitable, without a strong commitment at immediate deficit reduction.
Recent studies prove that conservatives now hold solid majorities throughout nearly the entire country and the number of those identifying themselves as Independents has been rising steadily for more than a decade. At the same time, our entire political leadership has drifted ever-leftward and no longer holds the same belief systems as the people they once served, but now subjugate.
Throughout my entire life, I have heard people direct all sorts of emotions at their political leadership; sadness, disappointment, anger, indifference, sanctimony, disdain; but, for the first time in my life, I now hear people expressing FEAR. Are you listening, Barry? You’re scaring the hell out of a lot of ordinary people. And when people are fearful, the human instinct is fight or flight. Unfortunately for you, this is America. We’ve never been known to back down, when pushed around by a bully. And I don’t see a whole lot of people backing down now. They are lining up in opposition to you and your despicable ideology of guilt, victimhood and death. They suffer from buyer’s remorse and they want their money back.
But, you can keep the lousy change. It’s not worth squat anyway.
