Well, all I have to say to “Obama Plans to Rule America From Outside the White House” is this: Good luck with that, you little cockroach.
“Obama believes that he can rule America from outside the White House. And he might be right.”
Obama will be shorn of his delusion by any value of one — Trump’s first press conference on Obama’s efforts, the first week of Trump’s presidency, the first point of contact between the Trump administration and Obama’s machinations, etc. Obama’s presidency and his delusion reminds me of Twain’s example of the rooster crowing early in the morning making him think he is responsible for the sun rising.
Obama has been in over his head for years -- and he knows it. Go back and look at his track record. The guy hasn't accomplished anything of substance since the Republicans took control of Congress away from the Democrats in 2010.
He can become the nation's "organizer-in-chief" all he wants. Nobody of any substance is going to listen to him.
This is a very good analysis of Obama. I could see some of it, but this article focused my thinking.
The big question is how much support will Obama get from the establishment media? Likely, quite a lot. That is the big question we have to find an answer to.
How do you deal with a media that is overwhelmingly opposed to the very idea of the Constitution, while keeping the First Amendment?
Perhaps some thing can be done with broadcast licenses. Defund NPR and PBS. Use the Ad Council to destroy itself.
Creative ideas needed.
Obama is going to be shown for the fool he is.
You can skew the numbers, falsify the reports but working people can easily see that prosperity has been very elusive for the common man while big government and crony banker, corporatists manipultators have stolen from every place they can having there pockets lined with blood money.
History is a cruel mistress.
Obama road a false wave under false pretenses. He has only one way to go, down.
He’s an organizer? like a bomb everything he touched blew up in his face he can’t even put a puzzle together.
” Obama can no longer be commander-in-chief. Instead he’s plotting to become organizer-in-chief.”
Make that “agitator in chief”.
Just like as President Obama will be the face and mouthpiece of the organization. meanwhile ValJar the Sorus groups and heads of news organizations will be coordinating the war.
Look for:
constant attacks by the media;
periodic massive demonstrations and disruptions opposing Trump’s policies in streets;
University faculty led disruptions to try and delegitimization his authority.
He needs to take on directly through policy changes:
Economic growth but more importantly job growth;
Ending executive action allowing unions in federal agencies;
Speak directly to the people and lower influence of old media;
Cut grants and federal funding not student for all activities not essential to national interest;
Minimize peer review in awarding grants because the committees are controlled by liberals and awards only go to friends;
Undertake review of education level requirements for all federal positions to lower the need for everyone to have a bachelor or higher degree except when directly related to a specific job skill;
Can’t rule America solely from the urban centers of Barry Obama’s power. They don’t produce anything. Separating Urban from Rural means they separate agitators from food. Cut off EBT cards and within hours the city burns. There is always a power counterbalance to the number of people in a city.
Possibilities include:
If, at the end of Trump's Presidency, the EPA and the DOEs and the USDA and all the rest of them down to the original 4 Departments, and (no OR here, it is all AND)indeed, the Civil Service, still exist, then all of his improvements and the temporarily soaring economy will be once again swallowed up by the Permanent Government that is the Bureaucracy-the Agencies and Departments, all of which are in Democrat hands, and the effect will then be as permanent as it would be did Mrs Bill win the election.
Obama is probably overjoyed that the Clintons lost the election
After all his campaigning he can blame Hillary
He hates the Clintons and vice versa
Once again he screws them over by becoming the voice of the democrats and taking away their $$$$ raising ability
Bill and Hill have to be out of their minds with hate
We only have one President at a time and Obama had his shot.Now it will be up to President Trump to repair the damage incurred from the Obama Presidency.
I hope that Donald Trump is more then capable of putting Obama in his place.
In that battle, you'd have R's and D's joining forces.
As many of us have commented over the years this article too suggests ending so many of the departments requiring the support of too many, and often redundant bureaucracies.
Such action would create a wall Obama, the left, the Democrats would have much difficulty scaling.
It’s a damned shame we have to worry about such a thing, but the left exists, and we have to face it.
It will be hard for him to do from super-max or Gitmo.
“And Obama is still determined to dictate the future of the party and the country.”
A big reason not to pardon Hillary, his biggest competition for control of the Party.
Getting rid of internal Party rivals is a Communist specialty.
Obama will never go away. He is too narcissistic for that.
The Dems still need Obama because they can’t find anyone to replace him, period. He fits the liberal ideal — hip, biracial, etc. He is the only one who can still appeal to liberal whites. I predict a mass defection of the latter to the boutique parties like Green or Libertarian, since the Democratic platform has been co-opted by socialism & identity politics.
Obama has installed Obamatons in every nook of bureaucracy. They are young and loyal. It will take years for Trump to find them amd fire them.
