JUST THE FACTS, MAAM, ONE AT A TIME Pt. II

To recap, Obama’s first two critical errors on matters of national politics were his naïve and arrogant autobiography, and his underestimation of the American people’s expectation for him to actually make good on his campaign platform and promises.

Obama also, soon after his coronation, displayed his total lack of any experience with or knowledge of anything at all dealing with the subjects of economic principals tried and proven throughout history, and executive management practices, whether private or publically based, also tried and proven as to their efficacy at goal attainment and personnel leadership.

In a televised speech Obama said, paraphrasing, "This is just amazing! Only in America could this happen. Only in America could someone with my background have any hope of achieving such a position of authority. Only in America, could goals such as I have ever be achieved."

Those who had researched Obama’s political makeup and/or read his book knew just how far left his beliefs and aspirations were, and they only had to add two plus two to fully understand what Obama meant with that "Only in America" part of his speech. One thing Obama did, evidently, learn to some degree, was history, specifically of governmental successes and failures. He showed a keen awareness that policies such as he would propose for America had, historically, failed because a) they were not inducive to wealth generation, and b) had been implemented in fundamentally impoverished, undeveloped agrarian societies. Only in America, where an infrastructure for wealth production was present, where society had developed well into a high technology based industrial powerhouse, could his leftist policies have, in his mind, any chance of success. America was fat and could be fleeced and drained of wealth for quite some time before it was bled dry, and in that time his policies could mature, take hold, and succeed as they never had in history, because they had never had a good, fertile soil to sprout in. America’s soil was sublime for his purposes. "Only in America could goals such as I have ever be achieved."

His big, stupid mistake in all of this was basic and historically evident. Not even with a running head start such as America’s prosperity seemed to provide, do policies of wealth redistribution, governmental control of all aspects of societal and economic matters, and the decisions being made by an elite, totalitarian minority ever succeed for any longer than it takes to squander the wealth it had to begin with. Sooner or later, this system of mismanagement runs out of capital because it doesn’t produce the motivation to generate capital. With no individual gain there is no generation of anymore than replacement to previously accepted levels.

His mistake is comparable to believing that you can make an engine run, with no fuel tank or fuel, if you just pour enough fuel down the carburetor to get it really revved up and spinning, it will just keep running. That is physically impossible as is the system of wealth redistribution and government mandated regulations on industry and society being sustainable.

In essence, Obama’s stupid error was a belief that what had failed everytime down through history, could succeed if he could just have a real opportunity to get it started.

Wrong, in everyway, wrong. His youthful false pride and baseless self-confidence is glaringly intense on the stage of international relevance upon which he believes he holds sway. Wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, as Gomer Pyle would say. The world, including reluctant Obama supporters, are becoming aware of his lack of plain common sense, too.

With the facts, and only the facts, closed, sleepy eyes will be opened wide, finally.

JUST THE FACTS, ONE AT A TIME, PLEASE Pt I

I will not give into the tempatation to try and list all of Obama’s mistakes in one, critically oriented post. Instead I would like to start at the very beginning. A very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C, with Barack you begin with ME-ME-ME and only ME. Him, Barack that is. It’s always about him. The first thoughts I had about him back in early 07 were on the order of, "GREAT! About time a black person runs for that office." I even went so far as to decide that, "If he is any kind of a sincere, honest, intelligent person, I will vote for him just because I believe it’s past time we had a black Chief Executive."

I know, I KNOW! That is prejudiced decision making at best, outright racism more likely than not. But, I was eager to know who he was, what he stood for, and if he would be any good at all for America. At least that part of me, the distrust of all persons politically motivated, was still working just fine. So, I bought and read his autobiography, lavishly praised as a masterpiece of personal revelation by all the NY critics. I was shocked. Not only was I stammied by his outright arrogance in what he believed and why, but also with the contorted, really WRONG assertions of all the so-called journalistic, literary critcs in their absolute lying reviews of a somber, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing, rambling on piece of literary trash. Not only was it nauseatingly self promotional, but promoted a radical, 60s hippyish, America hating, communist of the most dangerous kind, an arrogantly confident one.

It took a hundred pages or more for the sincerity of his belief in himself to really sink in. Then the sub-title of the book made sense. Stories Of Race And Inhertance told a tale of him inheriting the legacy of racist policies against the black man by the rich, white, ruling class in America. And what a tale it was.

The essence of this book and his arrogance in admitting the choices he had made and how they had a major role in his adult mindset, was Obama’s first really bad national political decision. Luckily for him though, very few of those who voted for him had actually read the book. Instead, they were smitten by his deep, baritone voice, his ability to read with emotion and apparent sincerity, his universally attractive message of post-racial, post-partisan unity, his blank and open message of any change you may have desire of, and his uniqueness in being the first "African-American" presedential candidate ever. These were overwhelming credentials to those who were tired of everything politics had become, which included the majority of Americans. The reason he did not win in a unanimous decision was because many of those Americans felt it was their duty to know exactly who they were voting for and why, or why not. Like myself, a simple, responsible voter.

That was his first mistake, arrogance in his revelation of his true nature and political beliefs. His second mistake was believing that the complacency of the voters supporting him was nationwide and that he could do no wrong in the eyes of America. After all, they knew who he was and what he believed, right? They had to, he had told them himself. In his book. You know, that masterpiece of introspective genius he wrote. "It was all about me. It IS all about me. ME, ME, glorious ME. They all love ME. They voted for ME."

No, the truth is they voted for the promise of a change in the way politics was conducted, they voted for hope that America could reclaim the greatness it had surrendered to the false candidates. They voted for openness in the way government operated, in the destruction of corruption rampant in DC. They voted for everything they wished could be, just as Obama had promised.
When he was not able to produce the desired results, when $787 Billion doesn’t stop the loss of jobs and actually increases it, when the source of jobs is regulated and taxed out of existence, when promises of mortgage bail outs never materialize even though billions were allocated, when billions were "invested" in preventing the major auto companies from failing, only to have the two that received the billions fail anyway, when energy costs rise exponentially and the poor can’t buy gasoline for the cars they live in, when all he does does no good but real harm, even the most dedicated, die-hard Obama disciple starts to wonder who this guy really cares about. It’s ME, ME, glorious, omnipotent, ME. All knowing, all perfect in thought and deed, that’s ME. Never admitting to error or misjudgement, never apologizing for his own ineptness, but slobbering self-incrimination on behalf of our nation for its evil actions of the past.

Two errors he is personally responsible for;

  • Telling his true beliefs and nature in an arrogantly stupid self-expose’
  • And expecting no one to actually believe what he had written or even read it, but instead relying upon the American people to just accept his politics, as unusual as they are, as the same old, as usual, politically stupid snobbery of the past.

WRONG, on both counts.

You have seriously underestimated the American people. You will suffer greatly for thses errors in judgement, and others I will expound upon soon.
