Admiration or Worship?

Counting this latest cover with Michelle Obama on the cover, this will be the 21st time that an Obama has graced the cover of Time Magazine. That's right 21 TIMES!!!
Given that The President hasn't DONE anything yet isn't it a little premature to make him King? I mean sure he is a handsome, black gentleman with a gift for using teleprompters , I mean giving speeches but what has he accomplished? BESIDES taking over the financial industry, apologizing to every enemy of America, funding abortions overseas with our taxpayer money and nationlizing the automobile manufacturing industry.
Look, if he ends up being the guy who turns this mess around and brings America back from the brink then sure, let's name some schools after him. But we might want to wait to see how this all ends up. Otherwise, Time as well as a certain segment of the population is going to look awfully stupid later on down the road.
By the way, can anybody tell me what "The Meaning of Michelle" is supposed to mean? Should we canonize her? Should she now be known as St Michelle, The Patron Saint of those without (designer) Shoes? This is all getting a little ridiculous and someone's going to end up with egg on their face.
You need to stop the worship of these two and hold them accountable. Sure, they are the first African- American's to reside in The White House. I know, believe me, I know. That one fact seems to be the most important thing about these two according to some out there. Sooner or later though you need to put down the Kool-Aid, stop the infatuation and realize that they are playing for keeps here.
Think about this for just one second: Including the debt that the Federal Reserve has recently bought up, our government, YOUR government, has borrowed more money in the last 6 months than in the previous 30 years. The catch phrase inside the Beltway these days is "Trillion is the new Billion". However, let's not forget that someone is going to have to pay that bill.
Let's stop the worship of the Messiah and make this man tell us why he feels the need to saddle the next TWO GENERATIONS with crippling debt. Would you abuse your own child? Then why let a stranger do it? This is government sanctioned child abuse and we are standing by and letting it happen.
Who is going to be next? What other bailouts are coming down the road? What happens when the debt load is so large (some say it is already) that the only way to pay it back is to raise interest rates. What are you going to say to your children and your grandchildren when they tell you that they can't afford to own a home because the interest rates are in the double digits?
There is a wave of crippling inflation coming and it will be painful for the large majority of Americans. Expecially those without disposable incomes. You know, the MIDDLE CLASS. Those folks that Obama promised he would help out and who probably got him elected because of that promise. They will get hurt the most.
If you are NOT outraged at what is going on then A. You don't understand the stakes B. You don't care or C. You think we are heading in the right direction. Well, there is a sign up ahead people and it's says DANGEROUS ROAD AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
It's high time some of you heeded that advice. This train is going to wreck sooner or later, that's a fact. The question is can we stop it in time. Unless we demand that our government STOPS BORROWING and SPENDING money we don't have we won't see a change. Even the Prez admitted as much. As stated in a Bloomberg article on May 14th:
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.” Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
So if he KNOWS this to be the case then WHY is he proposing that we spend and borrow more money? Is anyone out there paying attention? Have we completely just checked out? Have we thrown in the towel on America already?
If this continues we may need to rewrite our most precious documents to read that we are now a People Of the Government, By the Government and For the Government. There is still time left but the sands are running out of the hourglass at an alarming rate. It's up to us, ALL of us.

The Torch has been snuffed out

I keep hearing the media talk about the "torch being passed' to Obama today. Quite frankly, anyone who sees this man for what he truly is knows better than that. The torch isn't being passed as much as it is being snuffed out. No longer will America be the land of opportunity. From here on out we will be the land of opportunity that the Government says you can engage in. If not, no dice. We will no longer be a nation guided by the rule of law. Instead we will be guided by an activist Congress, an activist Supreme Court and a weak, but charismatic President that will be stuck in the middle. No longer will we be a country that practices Capitalism and Free Trade. Instead we will be a Socialist Republic with isolationist tendencies. As much as the media and the Obamessiah would like you to believe that we are entering a time of great promise in America, we are actually entering a time of great distress and danger. The very fundamentals that have kept this country strong for over two centuries are under attack.

The other day Obama said that we have an "imperfect Constitution but it could be perfect". What does that mean? Does he plan to change the sacred text that built this country? Does he think he has that kind of political capital? Be careful Mr Obama. Yes, you won the election and yes, you are making history but don't think there aren't those that will resist you in every way if you attempt to change this country radically. This is your day. Enjoy it. Tomorrow, Sir, you become accountable to We the People and "We" will be watching.

Hell hath no fury....

So, the race for the Democratic Nomination is over. Barak Obama has received the majority of the pledged delegates. It would appear that Hillary's historic run for The Presidency is over. Or is it? As someone who has read and studied quite a bit about The Clinton's I'm not so sure this thing is settled. Sure, Barak has claimed the "presumptive" nomination and as of yesterday Hillary endorsed him, although half-heartedly, but I know these people and I'm not buying it. First, what good does it do for Hillary to endorse him and "work my hardest" to get him elected? Nothing! This party belongs to The Clinton's and they are not apt to just give it up so easily. They realize that if Barak Obama becomes President then the "Clinton Era" is over. They will be relegated to the dustbin of history forevermore and their power will be minute. If there is one thing that I have come to learn about The Clinton's it's this: they crave power. They NEED it like a junkie needs a "fix". These people don't do anything or say anything unless it has been tested somewhere and "focus grouped". Without Hillary as President they will be minimized within the Democratic Party and that is just something they can't live with. So, what then is the endgame here? I have been thinking about this for a while and I think I have come up with some plausible strategies.

The VP: Hillary is going to be a strong candidate for the VP slot after winning as many delegates as she did and the popular vote. If it's one thing the Dem's love to champion it's the popular vote. Don't get me wrong though; I don't think she WANTS the VP slot but she will lobby for it. She has put Barak Obama in a tough place here. If he picks her she will be a thorn in his side for the duration of his presidency. If she doesn't then she will be outraged as well as her supporters and that could cost him the election. This position also allows her to sabotage his campaign while all the while appearing to be fighting to get him elected. There are MANY skeletons in her closet and Bill's and they might be willing to open the closet to give us all a peek i the hopes that the scandal would torpedo Obama. Don't think they won't do it.

Senate Majority Leader: Hillary is now going to be very popular in the Senate. With Ted Kennedy fighting for his life she will recognize her opportunity to ascend to the throne of leadership in the Senate and will in effect have MORE power than The President himself. If Obama is elected then she will relish the fact that she can (and will) thwart any legislation that she does not approve of and also push through any legislation that SHE wants. She will also relish the fact that as the most powerful senator, Obama will have to reach out to her to get anything done. This could be once again cause for major agony in The White House.

Supreme Court Justice: This could very well be the one area that Hillary could do the MOST damage if given the chance. She would see this position as the culmination of a life spent "fighting for the little guy". Even though she probably doesn't know any personally. She could wreak havoc with such issues as gay marriage, abortion, first amendment issues just to name a few. This would satisfy her though since she would never again have to run for office due to the life term of the Justices. However, I'm not sure this would be public enough for her. Hillary likes the media and the attention and she feeds off of it. Her and bill like to play the "rockstar" in America and they love to be in the limelight. Although this position would allow her to accomplish many things that she could not do in the Senate, I just don't see her accepting this with much enthusiasm.

So there you have it. I don't really believe that there are any other posts within the government that Hillary would accept without much protest. She is NOT Secretary of State material and she would not want to be part of the Obama Cabinet. Make no mistake, this is NOT over yet. you can be sure that she has her minions scouring the trash bins and closets in every nook and cranny in America looking for some garbage that she can hang on Obama. so far though he seems impervious and the media could care less. They have their man. I would just caution the Obama's about one thing: those that lock horns with The Clinton's have a tendency to regret it. Actually, they have a tendency to have "accidents" and wind up dead. Remember Vince Foster and Ron Brown? Obama better keep one eye on what he is doing and the other on what The Clinton's are doing because they WILL find a way to stop this train. When and where remains to be seen but the signpost ahead reads: Danger Ahead! That's good advice Mr Obama, very good advice.
