Obama for World President?
FrontPageMag.com ^ | December 8, 2009 | David Gutmann

Rookie Democratic congressmen are reportedly afraid that Obama will stubbornly press ahead with his unpopular plans for Health Reform, even if they, his unwilling Kamikazes, get voted out of office in 2010 as a result. As a dedicated Obama watcher, I for one am not surprised by this development. In fact, I am now betting even money that our president is not particularly concerned about his own re-election in 2012, and that he will enact as many of his programs in health reform, energy conservation, arms reduction and income redistribution as he can before his current term expires, and then try for higher goals. My hunch is that he is already getting restless in his present job, and that he seeks a promotion to an even greater status.

My sensitivities, sharpened by years of Obama watching, take note of the following pieces of evidence, and have gone to Condition Red:

Obama’s seeming restlessness is a matter of record. Until recently he was routinely charged with throwing outworn sponsors, including his old mentor the Rev. Wright, “under the bus.” And as a Chicago politician, he used wealthy, influential backers (mainly women), discarding them as better prospects hove into view.

Just four years ago he was a backbencher in the Illinois legislature, but since then he has served a partial term in the U.S. Senate, where he spent most of his tenure campaigning for the next giant step in his upward mobility, to the Oval Office. He has never in any office run for re-election, but has instead used any current position as a boost platform for his next installation.

Observers of his presidency have been puzzled by the continuing pattern: Obama is still in campaign mode, spending a good deal of time giving major policy speeches, not only in the states, but around the globe. “What office is he running for now?” One can ask.

Tackling that question, we note that Obama is an enormously ambitious, audacious man, and – as his gritty record in Chicago politics demonstrates – an enormously competitive and at times ruthless one. Coupled with his formidable intelligence, plus the evident grandiosity revealed most blatantly in his victory speech after winning the Democratic nomination, (“This is the night when the oceans start to recede”), we glimpse a personality constellation that we have known before, notably in Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte: that of the would-be world conqueror.

If this is indeed Obama’s fantasy, then it is shared by a sizeable portion of the world’s population: a poll taken in Sept. ’09 by the BBC indicated , at that time, that a large proportion of the global sample favored Obama as world president; and my Google search of “Obama, world President,” turns up more than120, 000,000 posts.

So here is my answer to questions concerning Obama’s electoral ambitions: he aims to fill an as yet unformed position, that of World President, and – as in the past – he uses his current presidency as a launching pad toward that more grandiose goal.

Barack Hussein Obama was raised abroad, and – possibly for global electioneering purposes – he keeps his foreign name. In addition, it becomes increasingly evident that our exotic president has bought into the alien, Third-World view of the US as a dangerous bully: a prime source of pollution, a nation too powerful, and too undisciplined in the use of power, and as such a leading danger to Humanity. Thus, campaigning as the “Good American,” Obama apologizes around the world for America’s sins, he genuflects before Saudi and Chinese tyrants, he negotiates with our sworn enemies while down-grading our allies, he weakens the U.S. militarily and economically while permitting the Iranians to construct nukes, and he builds up the prestige of the heretofore discredited, America-bashing UN.

This is the Audacity of Defeat: Obama is engaged in a redistribution of power, though now on a global rather than a domestic scale. Thus, he gives away pieces of America’s prestige, in his eyes to detoxify it, and to build up the as yet unrealized world coalition that he hopes one day to lead.

As Napoleon discovered in the snows of the Russian winter, grandiose dreams of world dominion are never realized. However, those who pursue that hectic fantasy can cause terrible trouble before they are stopped. In this age of proliferating nukes, we cannot afford such dreamers. This should be the winter of Obama’s discontent.

I wonder ... why doesn’t some country more worldly wise than us lure him to their shores with promises of sainthood and power.

OK, let us be honest now. I have heard a lot of people call this guy at the helm (for the present) a socialist. Nothing could be more of a stretch in truth. In a true sense he is a FASCIST. Nothing more and nothing less just a low life scum bag FASCIST.

Sounds like a great idea. As long as he resigns and leaves the country.

Let ‘the world’ have him!

yeah, they could float a world president by 2012...just like there’s (imho) a palpable probability of a nuclear strike on the US between now and then. the latter inspiring the former, perhaps.

Obama knows he will never be re elected, but based on the damage he has done thus far, he is a cinch to destroy America before his term expires. He is working night and day to make the deadline. Will we be able to get rid of him first? Question of the hour.

My theory is that having watched the USSR implode under an unsustainable debt caused by their military expenditures, BO, the Manchurian Candidate, determined that he would bring the USA down in the same way, only with a mountain of social spending debt that we cannot survive.
However, we should be smart enough to simply defund this treacherous government by refusing to send it our money. The gravy train will stop when it is no longer fueled by tax money from the surviving workers. The East Germans brought down Communism by simply sitting in the streets and refusing to go to work. There are many ways to bring a country to a halt when anger is translated into action.

Nice!

Maybe Uganda. They have a seat on the UN Security Council. They are also on the Staff Pension Cmte, The Consultative Cmte on the Development Fund for Women, Cmte for Programs and Coordination, Commission for Int’l Trade Law ... they are a heavy hitter.

He’s have more clout there.

Maybe he wants to be UN Secretary General. That would explain his push to turn over American sovereignty to that body at Copenhagen.

Great theory, unless you have guys like me that automatically have taxes withdrawn from their retirement check. I'd love to get it all, and then simply not pay.

Of course, I'd also go to jail. LOL
