So, today is the grand coronation of his High Magnificence the Great and Infallible, Most Kindly and Benevolent Grand Poobah Barack Obama!!!!!!!!! Change is in the air, the birds are singing, animals playing together. Does anyone think it a coincidence that this year has been one of the coldest years in a lot of years, that now experts are saying that in fact instead of the planet warming it is now cooling? It is because Barack Obama has reversed Global Warming!!!! I think we should all be so grateful that we have been graced with the leadership of Barack Obama. He is not merely a president, but an ambassador of change, who flies around with his magic fairy wand making right what once went wrong, hoping someday that his next leap- will be the leap home… (sorry, been watching Quantum Leap lately).
So my loony coworker who watches Charlie Rose (yes, someone actually watches Charlie Rose) said there was a guy on there who was discussing the differences between Bush and Obama. In essence- ‘Bush was selfish and did not want to unite people or play as a team. That is why Iraq is Bush’s War, not the American peoples war. Obama has ushered in a new age of collective ownership- meaning we all have a vested interest in Obama succeeding, so therefore Obama’s failures are everyone’s failures. If he loses, it is because we have all let him down.’
I kid you not, this is what my coworker was excited about and what this idiot was spouting in Charlie Rose.
So many socialist and communistic ideas presented in that little synopsis, I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s start with the obvious political spin- If Obama fails, don’t blame him, it is your fault. Very subtle, yet very obvious what his people are trying to do- make Obama not accountable to us. “Obama’s plans actually made the economy worse? Not his fault- it is your fault, our fault. Not sure how, but we all need to accept blame because if he fails, we all fail.” Think about that and what someone could get away with. Kind of reminds you of Battered Woman Syndrome – “Stage two of battered women's syndrome occurs when a battered woman truly recognizes or acknowledges that there is a problem in her relationship. She recognizes she has been the victim of abuse and that she may be beaten again. During this stage, most battered women will take on the blame or responsibility of any beatings they may receive. Battered women will begin to question their own characters and try harder to live up their partners ‘expectations’.”
Now the subtle varieties of Socialism and Communism espoused in the explanation- collectivism. For those that are not aware- collectivism is a fundamental tenet of Socialism and Communism- that is there is no individual rights, only group rights and collective rights. Once everyone starts being lumped into one group and we all have to take the blame for failure it seems to me that we are being subtlety groomed and led down the road to Socialism. Individual responsibility. That is the essence of Agency.
I am not sure what the next four years have in store for us, I hope it will be more like a Clinton presidency and Obama will do nothing at all. I do think that we will have another attack on US soil, hopefully not on the scale of 9/11, but it will happen again. Obama will either do nothing and want to talk with the terrorists about it, or he will go on the offensive like GWB has, except people will applaud Obama for protecting us. I think we will see more of our individual freedoms be taken away. We will see another shift in the courts to a more liberal stance that focuses on the so called ‘rights’ of the offenders rather than the justice for the victims. The UN will play a greater role in all of our lives. The things Obama promised but that he cannot do he will blame on Bush. Bush will still be a catch all for blame for the next generation or so.
On the bright side I also see things that will bring me slight amusement- things that are already happening- Venezuela will still hate us, as will Iran, Russia, North Korea, and most of the muslim countries. The French will continue to be arrogant buttholes. Radical Islam will still want to destroy us. The Obama administration will not be any different politically from any other politician. There will still be steep divides ideologically. Congress will continue to fight like little children. There will be no new tone in Washington.
Peace- I’m out!
