In Every Room

When you say ‘we’, I think you mean the media (elites). Their next step in this chaos of information, disinformation, self-aggrandizement and outright lying is quite obvious. Equally obvious is that we’re not buying it – you’re not buying it, and there’s no good reason to believe that anyone of any significance is either.

The job of the MSM is to turn this Osama killing (if it really was that) into a ‘prodigal son’ moment for POTUS – to have us forget whatever else he’s done. They’ll manufacture polls that say it is so; that the American people now approve of how Obama is handling his job.

The same was true of the health care debacle. Our marches on Washington; our phone calls that paralyzed Washington phone banks; our e-mails; our town hall confrontations; our special and midterm election votes – all should have been huge stories. They were not. And the impression remains that we, the people, are now on board with this, America’s first black and historic president. We are not.

The narrative between what the press would have us believe and what we know to be true is several miles wide. In a fair election contest, this chasm would be exposed. This is why I believe the next election (2012) will not be fair (if even held). The degree of fraud will depend on internal polling as we get closer; or, on the Left’s ability to put a Republican Progressive in place as to essentially effect a Hobson’s choice.

I believe that POTUS and his handlers know that this latest OBL narrative is full of holes. On one hand they are happy that it’s sucking all the oxygen out of the room. (Legislatively, Washington is once again stalled.) On the other, they are now scrambling to patch it by wagging fingers at Pakistan. There will be accusations and threats of congressional inquiry. Aid to Pakistan may or may not be withheld. Pakistan will end up so utterly smeared and discredited that nothing they can possibly say or do can absolve them. Again, that is the plan, tailored to American audiences. The world will see it differently.

POTUS does not seem to be concerned. He has likely been hoodwinked as well. He may actually see himself as the ‘bigger than life’ hero the press is making him out to be. At this point, I actually believe that we, the people, know more about virtually everything than Obama does. Should something not add up in his own mind and he is moved to raise questions, he will likely be told to relax and go out and play (a round or two on the WH putting green) – that everything will be taken care of; that his next speech has already been queued in on the teleprompter. All he has to do is read it with his customary make-believe gravitas; and, BTW, that make-up has suggested he tape his ears back a bit to make him seem less like Dumbo, the flying elephant in every room.

Sheep

I can envision several scenarios by which our current president could secure for himself a second term.

1. From our recent experience in Egypt, we have learned that the most organized party usually wins. The Left (or Democrats) are organized to the hilt. The in-fighting among Republicans has already begun.

2. A third-party candidate (like Trump) could enter the race and split the Republican Party. Result: Obama is president for another four years.

3. Things between then and now could become so chaotic, we might decide to postpone elections indefinitely.

4. Or, the media could re-cast Obama as the prodigal son, now embracing all the ‘right’ policies while, at the same time, demonizing Republicans and painting them as dangerously cruel and ‘extreme‘. Obama himself could help his cause by tracking to the right in public pronouncements, and promises which he obviously never intends to keep. You and I know that, but the drones will go for it in droves. Besides, we’re constantly hearing what a super guy Obama is; that it’s only his policies that are misguided.

There are probably several other ways Obama could get himself ‘re-elected’, ways that I haven’t even yet thought of. Outright election fraud comes immediately to mind. It could even be a combination of some or all of the above. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strategy has been already scripted (like the last election was) and is sitting in some lib bureaucrat’s bottom drawer somewhere. What we can be sure of that it’s there, just waiting to be implemented (if it hasn’t been already).

Remind, there were people in our country who applauded after the World Trade Center was hit. Those same people have exponentially increased in numbers. They see themselves as having momentum (they won’t let go), while the rest of us are becoming more and more marginalized.

Obama’s election wasn’t a fluke. Everything that brought it about is still in play. There has been no epiphany among the great unwashed (sheep).

The King's Speech

Has POTUS abandoned his radical-left base completely? Or do they understand that POTUS must appear to be ‘moderate’ if he wishes to have any chance of being re-elected in ‘012? As it becomes increasingly clear that Obama needs to re-kindle center-left support, a Dick Cheney look-alike certainly can’t hurt (yet another nod to what now looks like a ‘successful’ Bush presidency).

Other Obama appointees have certainly not come without credentials and have drawn cautious praise from the likes of Kudlow and company. Most have since failed in the public eye. Some have now departed while others have hung on - like POTUS himself, for instance (no LBJ “…I shall not seek, and I will not accept…” shocker in the offing here).

What has become clear (to my mind anyway) is that hand puppet POTUS is running the show. Daley, however ‘moderate’ he may be, will have little ‘moderating’ influence on White House policy overall.

It remains to be seen if the flashing of ‘right’ signals will do the trick. I would not be surprised if it did. The overwhelming majority of the American people are still desperately looking for their prodigal son to return.

Saw “The King’s Speech” yesterday. A beautiful, well-wrought film as only the British can make it. I imagine the history to be correct. I’ve heard no complaints. If indeed so, it brings to mind an era in which a sense of duty, some degree of sobriety, and patriotism prevailed. Even LBJ’s speech referenced above far surpasses the political rhetoric we are accustomed to hearing today.

Houston, we’ve got a problem...

Houston, we’ve got a problem! We’ve got the Democrats referring to Republicans as ‘terrorists'. And, far from repudiating such sentiments, the president goes out to echo same by painting Republicans as ‘hostage takers‘.
Sounds like a war (of words). What’s missing here is temperance. Compromise has been swept off the table.

Imagine, Republicans as terrorists! That’s strong medicine to digest. Especially since there are people out there who are actually trying to kill us; and who, we all know, it is now improper to refer to as ‘terrorists‘.

There are only a handful of extremists, we are told. Yet, the most powerful army on earth cannot defeat them. No, they must be accorded rights as if they were (American) Republicans. In fact, they must be elevated above all Americans. They must not be profiled or searched at airports - same as our star-powered political class. While Americans are made to suffer every naked indignity we can think of, are expected to give up a significant portion of their hard-earned income to support enemy outreach (as endorsed by our president), they must also be persuaded to give up their freedoms; their holy places, their prayers and celebrations as not to offend Islam (and, to a lesser extent, atheists).

But every barely functioning state needs an enemy to blame for whatever might go wrong. It’s therefore lucky we have Republicans. These will happily offer their backsides on which to paint concentric circles. Like obedient dogs they will gladly run and fetch; or heel. We can tell them one thing and do another. They will believe lies, never bothering to scratch the surface beneath which we hide our pernicious designs. They’re ever ready to line up for the showers if it guarantees a thorough cleansing - only, we will decide what the definition of ’clean’ is.

Republicans. Poor, hapless saps. We’ve got them by the short hairs; running around like maniacs now, proclaiming victory; convinced that the tea parties have saved them and turned the diabolic Obama away from his original sin. He has heard the cry of the electorate: no more taxes! And now they swoon at the sight of him. “We have won!” they shout from the rooftops. Now we can return home and relax. All will be right with the world.

What will they say when the blessed cuts don’t materialize; when January 1st their paychecks shrink? They’ll blame Congress, of course; they’ll blame the system. Still they’ll take comfort in the fact (as they see it) that Obama is with them now. He too wanted tax cuts. The prodigal son has returned.
