Mr Obama Is The "One" : What People Didn't See or Did See

Yikes - for those of us that saw this coming in 2007, those of us that heard Rush Limbaugh say "I hope he fails" and heard him tell us what Mr Obama wanted to do to this country, we didn't need to wait 5 years to understand Mr Obama was not "The One" to save us from our selves.

I find it nearly impossible to understand what so many among us saw in Mr Obama. All they had to do was listen to what he said, he told us over and over again he wanted to "fundamentally change America". He is and he has.

And most everyone that paid any attention to his back ground in Illinois, how he came to power and how he voted while a state senator, or didn't vote, it was clear he was nothing more then a Chicago gangster riding the tide of fear of racism and what the white population will do to avoid the title. If anyone questions or criticizes the black candidate, he is a racist, but only if he is a progressive liberal. If the black candidate is Republican, the rules don't apply.

Worse, after four years of some of the worst corruption ever in our government, the majority voted for more of the same. Why? Can it be just all the free stuff promised by the progressive liberals to buy votes, or are millions of voters ready to be dependent? Maybe freedom isn't all it crapped up to be.

The truth is, and always will be, as my blog heading states, " freedom means having nothing else to lose" - but so many of us won't know this until it's gone and the boot of the tyrant is on all our necks. By then, of course, it's too late.

The Foibles and Foolishness of Barack Obama Go Beyond Ignorance
John Ransom | Jun 10, 2013

So it comes to this: After all that has been said about Barack Obama, in the end there is very little to say. You are either willing to overlook Barack Obama’s foibles and foolishness; or you aren’t.
There is no middle ground. There is no saying for example “Well he’s kind of new in the job,” or “This is an example of one bad apple in his Cabinet,” or “The president didn’t know about it.”

Going into his second term, you either knew what we had in Barack Obama or you didn’t. 
For myself, I’ve never been willing to overlook the least ready of all presidents; nor have I ever been willing to give the least steady of presidents a free pass on issues.  Getting past his ideology, however, I was certainly willing to be dazzled, like everyone else.  I was prepared for the post-racial America; for a Great Communicator, who at least on some things, would lift us all up together.
I was looking forward to a day when race, creed, ethnicity, didn’t have to be the issues that drove us apart.

I was impressed when Obama defended private insurance against Hillary’s single payer system; I was impressed that he was willing to tangle with Jesse Jackson, Sr. during the 2008 campaign. He put his prestige on the line to talk about personal responsibility to group that often hears those words like a lecture. 

When he was elected, I was willing to celebrate the great racial divide that had been bridged in this country by electing a black man within the living memories of those who helped craft segregation.
In all these things, I was hopeful that the office of the presidency would lift up Barack Obama and with it, the rest of us.  I have, after all, survived many presidents I did not agree with, and could even something find something I could cheer in them. But what a disappointment this man has been.

There has been no level of discord to which he has not been willing to drive us.
There have been no principles that he has not been willing to abandon.
There has been no opportunity lost to use our country for personal, political ends.
There has been no hesitation in manipulating, gaming, and otherwise using Washington, D.C. as a blood sport.
The deception he perpetrated on the American people is rivaled only by the deception he perpetrated on his party. And if the stakes weren’t so grave for the country, I would laugh. Someone is going to have to clean up this mess.

One day the Democrats are going to have to regain the trust of all Americans. They are the Chosen One; they will not get a free pass on spying, or the Boston bombing, or Benghazi, or Eric Holder, or scandals yet to be discovered. This isn’t socialist Europe. We all expect to rise. And when we don’t rise, we’re going to blame someone. 

When we get bogged down in the self-love of a man who adores his own reflection in the surface of a teleprompter because, more or less, he can read the same great speech over and over...well let's just say that's not an America built to last.

Since it remains highly unlikely that anyone, anywhere including: 1) members of Congress; 2) the Media; 3) the Democrat Party or 4) European automotive journalists, will ever, anytime hold Barack Obama culpable for his sins, it is certain that eventually some will hold his party responsible instead.
George W. Bush got off lightly, while the rest of us were sent to purgatory. It’s a cautionary tale of Democrats.

“Jim Jett always used to say that his brother was the damndest scoundrel that was ever borne,” drawled Abraham Lincoln, “but by the infinite mercy of providence he was also the damndest fool.”
It’s the virtue of this Republic that eventually fools are found out.

It remains to be seen what anyone, anywhere will do about this particular fool.
