While my political differences with President Obama run deep, I have never questioned the man’s intellect. I will admit I’ve made some not so flattering references to his Presidency looking a bit like that of # 39, those were more about where the country seems to be heading as he applies his college thesis to the problems of real life.
To the contrary, Barack Obama is no dummy. He is however the most ideological man ever to sit in the Oval Office, and yes that includes Ronald Reagan. In this man’s eyes, we are but the unwashed masses and would benefit greatly if we would just submit to his wisdom. The problem is “We the People” are beginning to understand, and in greater numbers every day, that this is not about the Presidents cognitive abilities by way of his education, but rather it is about his refusal to accept the concept of an all things to all people view of the federal system is simply unrealistic.
So while the POTUS continues to pour over his Noam Chomsky literature looking for a reason why the economy refuses to turn around despite him having played the Socialist play book by the numbers to include the class warfare standard, the country is slowly slipping away into the always fatal abyss of international insignificance. We are a dying world power.
Now I heard someone talking on the cable news today about a certain Republican Primary candidate “re-making” himself and no longer sounding “apocalyptic”. Thinking about that, I wanted to use this post and its topic to remind my readers of something very important. While “apocalyptic” is not a word I use with any frequency, to categorize our current national predicament with even the slightest hint of complacency would mean your “cognitive abilities” should be called into question. The United States of America, with Barack Obama as President, is in fact changing. The question is, will you accept that change?
