The Empirical Obama – A Portrait In Failure.

Obama is as great a failure as he was a worldwide sensation during the 2008 presidential campaign. Absolutely nothing is going right for the Anointed One. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s hit guy, has served Barack Obama as loyally as anyone could have. Now, it seems, Rahm is having second thoughts, though he roundly denies it. According to sources at the Telegraph, Rahm may be considering leaving the administration because of his inability to penetrate the hard core ideologues that Barack Obama has surrounding him.

True or not, it’s an indication of the turmoil that is rampant in the administration. The problem with radical ideology is that it prevents objective discourse and is antithetical to anything beyond its narrow focus. Obama’s inner circle have no credentials for running anything at all, much less the country. The Obama administration has introduced policy after policy, right out of ‘Das Kapital’ and Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules For Radicals’.

First of all, Americans aren’t that sold on socialism. We never have been. Americans have a reservoir of rugged individuality that socialism cannot fathom or tolerate. Barack Obama doesn’t understand it either. He has not now, nor has he ever, had a patriotic connection to this country. I wrote yesterday that Obama hates and despises this country. I firmly believe that. A look at the contempt visible on his and Michelle’s faces tell the graphic story. These are angry people with an agenda to remake the society in their own image. These are people who sat in front of a radical black liberation theology (read communist) preacher for twenty years. If you listen to hate spiel long enough it rubs off… and it shows.

Americans in recent decades are said to have been dumbed down, and looking at the political indoctrination centers we call our public schools it’s easy to believe. The problem for the DeMarxists is that America wasn’t quite as glued to the lame stream media as they thought we were. It was our national disgust with Washington business-as-usual on both sides of the aisle that spawned the Constitutional patriot movements.

When Americans came to the party we did so with typical American pragmatism. The patriot movements have gained huge followings and have inspired America to fight back as never before. We’re not taking it from the Marxists and we won’t tolerate it on our side either. Americans have a thing for truth. It’s how we live our lives. The DeMarxists have done everything possible to destroy the civil society and the nation rejected it out of hand. Obama rolled out his world-shaking agenda and America said hell no!
Obama managed to pass the health care bill with deceit, fraudulent legislative trickery and bribery. The universal unpopularity of the bill, passed against the will of the people, will prove to be Obama’s downfall. Americans really hate being lied to.



Republicans have been far more effective at blocking DeMarxist programs than their numbers would indicate. The Conservative patriot movement has provided the push-back to the Barack Hussein Obama socialist agenda and Americans are swarming to the Conservative Patriot banner.

Watching Obama’s pathetic response to the Gulf oil fiasco is an education in itself. His drilling moratorium may prove to be the anchor around the neck of his administration. Obama’s willingness to use the EPA to shackle the remainder of the US economy, when he couldn’t accomplish Cap and Tax legislatively, has Americans really ticked off.

DeMarxists all over the nation are scrambling to cover their tracks before November. Guess what? It’s too late. We know who you are, and we’ll make sure the rest of the country knows just exactly who you are well before November.
We’re going to take our country back.

Obama’s House Of Mirrors.

As essential as the omnipresent teleprompters, the canned audiences and the hard left rhetoric, the house of mirrors shows Obama in all his manifestations. Each a different portrait of a presidency that is illusory and fragmentary. Each a facet of what drives this determined Marxist ideologue.



Having sprung from hard left roots, he knows nothing else. Having come through Chicago’s Daley machine, he’s not at all adverse to strong-arming or intimidating those who do not fall in line behind his grand Keynesian redistribution schemes. We saw how great that works with the 800 billion dollar stimulus. The money went to all the wrong places for all the wrong reasons. It became a political crony slush fund, with major paybacks to the public sector unions that were so instrumental in his ascendancy to the presidency.

Eight weeks ago, British Petroleum experienced the worst well blowout in national history. It appears that Obama and most of his administration were just out of focus from the moment word got to them of the potential disaster. There are laws and response protocols in place that would have gotten the ball rolling in the right direction, but they were ignored.

There aren’t many saints in this tale. You can’t blame BP for wanting to minimize their exposure and that’s evidenced by early reports from BP, placing the volume of the leakage from the well at 5,000 gallons a day. They can be faulted if, as the subsequent investigation shows, they skipped a couple of (according to petroleum experts) safety procedures deemed expendable because of time and money pressures… this well was in the hole for millions of dollars when the explosion occurred.

Obama wants BP to place up to twenty billion dollars in an escrow account to be administered by an ‘independent’ auditor, no doubt to be appointed by Obama. Another DeMarxist slush fund. You can’t give alcohol to an alcoholic and expect him not to get drunk. Obama has every intention of strong-arming BP CEO Tony Hayward. Hayward doesn’t have to do what Obama wants, but BP has other business with the US and may not want to forfeit this. As a matter of fact, there’s some question of whether Obama’s ‘escrow account’ demand is legal at all.



Obama’s speech yesterday was singularly bland and uninspiring. There’s no way that Barack Hussein Obama is going to shake this loose by election time. Another thing Obama should consider is the health of BP. He is planning on fleecing them plenty. At some point in time it may behoove them to explore bankruptcy. Obama’s golden goose may escape. Understand… I’m not absolving BP of responsibility. Far from it. But Barack Obama should not be given another vast pool of money with which to pay off political cronies or supporters, in the guise of aid to the stricken gulf coast.

If escrow account there is to be, then it should be stipulated that none of it goes to anything but aid to the gulf coast victims and not to the public unions and Demarxist political hacks.
