Barack Obama’s slavish followers and apologists claim
he is creating a legacy for himself with Obamacare and the Iranian nuclear agreement,
but those misguided things are as much a legacy for Obama as Neville Chamberlain’s
“peace in our time” agreement with Adolph Hitler was a legacy to Mr.
Chamberlain’s memory, but instead of providing a favorable memory for Mr.
Chamberlain, his “legacy” led to the destruction of Europe and the suffering
and deaths of millions of people. A legacy is usually considered to be a large
beneficial gift to one’s relatives and countrymen, much like the United States
Constitution was a legacy from our nation’s founders to every American to live here
in the last 200-plus years. But Chamberlain’s agreement with Hitler assured
that a world war would follow the signing, and today Chamberlain’s big success
is considered an unbelievably huge failure. And this failure was made by him in
spite of advice to the contrary, along with warnings of Hitler’s treachery and
dishonesty. But our Neville was wiser
than his advisers and moved ahead in search of a legacy, much like our
attention-starved president is doing.
Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran so precisely parallels
Chamberlain’s agreement with Hitler that the similarities are startling, and
only a self-centered, ideological big-shot like Obama would even consider it.
His agreement assures that Iran will get a nuclear device in a few years; it
assures that no alarms indicating a violation to the agreement will be raised
during the development interval and it assures that even if an alarm were to be
raised, nothing will be found by the time a team can be assembled to
investigate, so the illegal development will continue apace. And we also know
that the much advertised “snap-back” will not be applied even if a violation to
the agreement is noticed and challenged. Iran’s recent testing and further development
of a missile with which to deliver the nuke, coming just weeks after Obama
signed the agreement, is proof of their treachery and their total disregard for
the agreement, and Obama’s failure to do anything to challenge the Iranians
proves that his idiotic desire for a “legacy” will stop at nothing.
On the other hand, if Obama really thinks that his
Obamacare legislation assures a positive legacy, then he’s not only crazy, he’s
also stupid. We already see many people, suffering after being forced off the healthcare
plan they liked and could afford, now having to take less coverage for higher
premiums and higher deductibles under Obamacare, and these higher fees must be
met before the insurance even kicks in. So just wait a few years, when all of
the Obamacare provisions have been fully implemented, (as proof of liberal
fears of the general population learning how extensively bad Obamacare is, full
implementation has been repeatedly delayed in order to not alienate voters when
elections were near) when healthcare under Obama is proven to be a disaster and
when the actual working plan is considered by the liberal press without the
personality of Obama to intimidate them, we’ll see a great change of heart as
to the benefits of government-run healthcare.
If Obamacare and the Iran nuke deal survive a few
years beyond the passing of the Obama administration (and intelligent people pray
that they will not), Obama’s legacy will change into that of a laughingstock,
just like Neville Chamberlain’s memory is that of a fool.
