Obama: The fall
Washington Post ^ | 5/2/13 | Charles Krauthammer

Posted on 05/04/2013 10:27:45 AM PDT by OPS4

Fate is fickle, power cyclical, and nothing is new under the sun. Especially in Washington, where after every election the losing party is sagely instructed to confess sin, rend garments and rethink its principles lest it go the way of the Whigs. And where the victor is hailed as the new Caesar, facing an open road to domination.

And where Barack Obama, already naturally inclined to believe his own loftiness, graciously accepted the kingly crown and proceeded to ride his reelection success to a crushing victory over the GOP at the fiscal cliff, leaving a humiliated John Boehner & Co. with nothing but naked tax hikes.

I hope krauthammer is correct in his analysis. What “The Divine One” really means though is quite a different thing than mere narrow political losses. His election was a “seismic shift.”

All of these pundits whistling past the graveyard!

Obama is not a man. He is a cult.

Krauthammer is a psychiatrist. Yet he too was completely fooled by this gay half-African con-man until rather recently.

I admire Krauthammer’s insight into DC politics.

H O W E V E R ...

Can anybody tell me why Krauthammer never mentions the Founding States’ division of federal and state government powers evidenced by the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment? The silence of Krauthhammer and other so-called Fx News “conservatives” on these constitutonal statutes is the reason why I despise Fx News.

After all, if Fx News were to use its popularity with conservatives to reconnect Constitution-impaired voters to the Founder’s division of federal and state government powers, then corrupt Congress would be forced back into its Section 8-limited power cage overnight. So Fx’s stubborn silence about the Constitution is why I think that Fx is working for Obama.

Exactly and anyone buying into the Left’s move to the center forgets that there is an election next year. Suddenly they are all principled Democrats.
