The headline aptly describes what Obama’s second term will be. Damn the economy and full speed ahead with his progressive agenda. Obama successfully convinced 51% of the voting public to fear his opponent more than his record of failure. With the election past he has more flexibility to fundamentally change America.

The complete article for freepers to have at it and so Hummblegunner doesn’t accuse me of blog pimping :)

The headline aptly describes what Obama’s second term will be. Damn the economy and full speed ahead with his progressive agenda. Obama successfully convinced 51% of the voting public to fear his opponent more than his record of failure. With the election past he has more flexibility to fundamentally change America.

One only has to look at the administrations reaction to the report of negative growth in the economy. Did anyone from the administration rush to Oklahoma or west Texas to investigate why unemployment is only one percent and perhaps duplicate it? No, Obama and his posse flew right over the area to lecture Nevada high school students about illegal aliens. To tell them everyone should play by the same set of rules except for those that don’t. To explain how it is fair to allow upwards of ten million unskilled workers to compete for the same jobs these students will need when they graduate.

Even before Obama took the oath to protect and defend the constitution the Sandy Hook strategy stole the headlines. His response cheered by criminals nationwide, was to make legal gun ownership more expensive, intrusive and difficult. By proposing new laws and restrictions the administration is punishing one of the few industries doing fine without government subsidies. Barrack’s justification was we can no longer stand by and wait for every city to be like Chicago. So we must move forward to where every unarmed citizen is a happy citizen.

During his inaugural address he commented on “ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.” Showing Barrack’s preference for shuttered solar plants over jobs created by our own abundant resources. He is standing up to our adversaries, by blotting our landscape with inefficient wind turbines instead of pipelines for domestic crude. In a brief moment of honesty he admitted our healthcare is too expensive. That same Obamacare that would not cost us one dime, in fact would be free for all, is expensive post election.

We are currently showing the world full of tyrants our steely resolve by cutting our military and allowing women in combat. Our commitment to our declining superpower status is reaffirmed by replacing our pouting, gold-digger secretary of state with a Vietnam era gigolo. Our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness will surely lead to world peace in these difficult times.

During the next four years be prepared for more of the same. The only attention the economy will get is what is needed to keep the host alive while the progressive agenda marches on. Moving forward to where all wants are banned and all needs are provided by the government. Those needs will be decided by bureaucrats on death panels, at transportation checkpoints, and thought control centers disguised as universities. Every need including the wish to live will be weighed against worth to the state. The only thing standing in the way is the consent of the governed and that is beginning to look like a seven round magazine against a gang of hundreds. We are indeed damned.

Cloward-Piven.

Obama is doing everything wrong, and he's doing it on purpose. A lot of folks like to look down at Barry and call him an idiot. Get a clue -- he has practically annihilated the Republicans. He got re-elected. He still controls the Senate. He controls the Supreme Court. He controls the media. The man is not stupid, and he isn't a failure.

He's getting everything he wants, and what that principally is, is the destruction of this country.

I agree. Obama has his plan and he is not stupid, his voters are another story. But if you talk to a low information voter and mention Cloward-Piven their eyes gloss over. If you ask them to explain one a time why these other things are more important than the economy it just might make it thru the mush. It is frustrating but what else can we do? Admit defeat and let Obama continue on his merry way?
