What?
Obama is not a chess master. Let's take a look at how ham-handed he has used the IRS against the TeaParty, ObamaCare’s disastrous rollout, Holder in Fast & Furious, the State Dept in Bengahzi, Veterans Admin health scandal, ISIS(L)is JV, Putin is our friend, Red Line in Syria, etc. He is regularly tripped up by his own doing.
Obama is good at thinking one to two moves ahead on the chessboard of politics. This has impressed the MSM. When the likes of Putin and others play him, we need to take note of how poor a strategic thinker Obama really is and his love of micro-management & no management.
If Conservatives, Republicans, TeaParty can unite and use their heads, they can out think him, like Putin has repeatedly.
My (fear, dread, horrible nightmare) is that Ferguson will blow up into a blood bath, that a Republican House and Senate will need to address. If Ferguson blows up, it will be a “Black/African-American” media crisis. If Republicans, Conservatives and TeaParty leaders can pull together to implement some real job/education improvement programs directed at inner cities and minority populations that actually put lots of people to work, it could change the whole voting dynamic of the next election.
Imagine if the Conservatives, Republicans, TeaParty focused hearing on the impact of adding 4 million workers to unemployment rates and showed the black community what Obama was doing to them. Imagine if Congress pointed out what 4 million new workers would do to the Hispanic unemployment rate?
Now sit back and think about the huge expectations on the ACA and how the rollout embarrassed the President and all his advisers and soured the American people on his policy. Now think about Republicans referring to the Amnesty as “Black on Black” crime because it will skyrocket Black unemployment rates.
Imagine how Hispanics full of hope at getting to avoid deportation and gain work permits will be crushed when they find out they have to pay back taxes that exceed any meager savings that they have? Think of it as ACA-2! There is a good chance that the Amnesty plan being proposed is so convoluted that it will fall on its face after creating huge expectations.
My hope is that the executive actions can be turned into Lemonade and change the dynamic for the 2016 Presidential election. To do this will require thinking like a chess master not doing knee-jerk reactions to Obama’s provocations.
Then I see the pOTUS changing the requirements on the fly, he will degree that everybody can get a green card, no paperwork needed, just get yourself across the border and we will have tables set up to issue you a work permit and a voting card.
