President Obama still isn't listening to the American people

Pres. Obama will never listen to the people unless “the people” agree with him.

He never will.

This is a wonderful quote;
(from a letter to Ayn Rand) “But Atlas Shrugged is not merely a novel. It is also (or may I say: first of all) a cogent analysis of the evils that plague our society, a substantiated rejection of the ideology of our self-styled “intellectuals” and a pitiless unmasking of the insincerity of the policies adopted by governments and political parties. It is a devastating exposure of the “moral cannibals,” the “gigolos of science” and of the “academic prattle” of the makers of the “anti-industrial revolution.” You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you.”-Ludwig Von Mises

In other words, in Obama’s mind, we owe him. He is better, superior, infallible compared to us cattle.

My take is that this British writer really has no experience dealing with American black men. Think Emperor Machismo, and go up at least one order of magnitude.

Obama, as effeminate as he is, will Never admit that he screwed the pooch. That would be acting like a bitch. Even though he is one. The author simply doesn’t get the whole toxic constellation of flaws that have brought us the totally dysfunctional contemporary “culture” of the inner city.

One which, as a practical matter, is insoluble until at least two generations unfold. It’s a real pity that Obama wasn’t from the West Indies, or actually from Africa - a number of black folks from there have done just fine, assimilated successfully, and, well, succeeded.

But we weren’t that lucky. And now we, all of us, are condemned to clean up after this asshole.
