Blindsided By Obama the Radical
2009-03-02
It has become jaw-droppingly clear that Barack Obama seeks to radically shift the alignment of this country -- tying its citizens to their government in a dramatic leftward lunge the likes of which America has never seen before.

Obama deceitfully billed himself a pragmatist on the campaign trail. He was marketed as a "moderate." After his November victory, pundits predicted he'd govern from the center. -- They couldn't have been more mistaken. Barack Obama is an extremist progressive who seeks to molest our fiscal values and pumps up our reliance on fruitless government programs.

Obama certainly will be successful in his mission for unparalleled historic recognition. But don't expect his face on the dollar bill in the future.

On its face, this appears to confirm that Obama is a tax-and-spend liberal with a heavy socialist marbling. But it's much more complex than that. Though Obama has proclaimed that "this has never been about me -- it's about you" on the stump, these very actions are all about him and his increasingly apparent obsession with exaltation and a delusional quest for historic grandeur.

The cult of personality created by the leftist trifecta of academia, media and the entertainment industry has overtaken Obama's own self-image. And he believes the hype. Most politicians possess a swollen sense of self-worship. But Obama believes he is the superhero of fanatical Democratic extremism, the green lantern of progressive precept, the Will Smith of left-wing indoctrination.

Obama certainly will be successful in his mission for unparalleled historic recognition. But don't expect his face on the dollar bill in the future. His notoriety will leave a legendary imprint for all the wrong reasons.

#13  Maybe we'll see his face on the first $1T greenback. And a wheelbarrow load of those greenbacks will buy a loaf of bread. Because that will be what we're using to go to the grocery store to get our daily necessities when Ogabe is done with his program.

#12  I predict that Obamahole doesn't make it through his first (and only) term. I have no idea by what means he will leave the office, but he will not finish his term.

I further predict that even with The Lefts propaganda organ (The Academia/Media/Entertainment Complex™) running heavy cover and spewing 24x7, he will be the death of the Democrat Party/Left in this country. We will survive.

An optimist. His head on the $5,000 coin more likely.

#8  What is interesting is that now some of the old er Democrats are crying fowl over the planned CZAR appointments. They say the CZARs is a power grab that will over ride the Congressionally approved Cabinet members.

My thought is, how come you critters are just now waking up to what many conservatives saw in this guy a long time ago.

#5  A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
~Thomas Jefferson~


Among other things, Jefferson should be spinning in his gave to know that this quote of his hasn't applied to the US in nearly 70 years.

"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
"A republic, if you can keep it."

Remember that folks when you see Mr. Franklin paying for a basic grocery week.

#2  All you had to do was ask anybody from Illinois about Obama...
