This is very true. In addition, people seem to like him personally (I think he's creepy and ominous) and he is very good at saying what they want to hear. Cardinal George of Chicago had a meeting with him a couple of weeks ago to discuss abortion, and Cdl George came out of the meeting saying that it was sort of like Alice in Wonderland, because Obama kept insisting that he and Cdl George believed the same thing about abortion. Cdl George said that he had to tell Obama firmly several times that there was nothing in common between their views, but that Obama just blandly went on as if he had said nothing. In other words, he is doing much of this by simply saying anything that he thinks people want to hear - while doing anything that he wants to do or is being told to do by whoever is behind him. If we had a decent press, he would be held accountable for this. But as it is, he can say one thing, do the opposite, and it causes absolutely no waves.
Furthermore, when there is any opposition (such as on the part of Lauria), he shows his fangs and the fangs of the entire US government apparatus, and people are afraid. But he usually does it privately and then just lies about it afterwards, so most people are unaware of it. In addition, they'd simply rather not know.
This guy was sold to them by the press as some sort of savior and hero, and they're not going to let reality interfere.
Communism has been gradually introduced into the collective mind of this country by more than 40 years of terrible state education, but it took a Great Leader to personalize it, put a face on it, and finish the task of making it fully accepted by Americans.
“a Great Leader to personalize it, put a face on it, and finish the task of making it fully accepted by Americans.”
A politically correct Great Leader. A white man would have been easy to defeat, but a black man was just the thing they needed. Now with Zero in charge he’s the perfect politically correct frontman for them.
All those dolts who voted for him to be ‘part of history’ are part of history indeed and I don’t think this is a great history.
Incrementalism worked better than the communists ever dreamed. They have gotten greedy and are trying to swallow us whole in one bite. They run a serious risk of choking.
I had thought Hillary Clinton was the biggest danger we face. Obama makes her look like an amateur. He is completely audacious. I’m praying for a backlash as he continues to over-reach. We are near a tipping point where the body of ignorant electorate on the take is at or in excess of those who are paying for it. We are near or at that point where they will “vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
It seems that the Democrats have collectively decided we are beyond this point and they can move from incremental power consolidation to blatant power grabs, because they feel that the majority are locked into voting themselves largesse from the public treasury, ie - re-electing all democrats. With the flood of immigrants to this nation, they may be right. George W Bush, by throwing the borders wide open and continuing Clinton’s immigrant flood, guaranteed a huge imbalance between registered Democrat and Republican voters. We can’t change that now.
All I can hope and pray is that a very loud minority becomes so inflamed by the blatant power grabs by the Obama Administration, that a severe backlash destroys all in-roads by the Socialists for the past few decades.
