When one reflects on the last seven years it is quite
impressive how public opinion on all things Obama has shifted from his being
thought a be a hero, to everyone now realizing that he is a thoughtless fool
with no idea what he’s doing in the Oval Office. Oh, sure, the press still
fawns over him, but that’s the job of
the leftist press and they will do it regardless of what a failure Obama has
been in terms of assuring safe borders and the protection of the constitutional
rights of all citizens. He has been extraordinarily successful in the only area
he considers important: He has “fundamentally transformed America”, or at least
fundamentally pointed America in a direction meant to destroy it.
Several years ago, I believe it was the prolific
author Thomas Sowell, who commented on the slow but certain leftward drift of
American politics. He was at the time in his sixties and believed he would be
dead before America could drift to total destruction. But that was before
Obama. Barack Obama pushed the pedal to the metal and has caused so much chaos,
confusion and division in our nation in just seven years that the end seems
very near indeed.
But Obama’s sudden jolt to the left and to
totalitarianism may have been a mistake for those who, like him, hate America
and encouraged this redirection. After all, with the coming of Obama, we did
get the Tea Parties and their allies suddenly activated and involved in
politics; we did get a candidate in Donald Trump to state politically incorrect
things that most loyal and patriotic Americans were either afraid to say or felt
they would be helpless to stop the intentional destruction of all they held
dear. And we have seen the rejection by the public of the old Republican
establishment who seemed to compete with leftist Democrats to see who could
move the nation left the quickest.
On top of everything else, Obama’s seeming hand-picked
candidate to succeed him in the presidency has been a complete and total failure
considering her leftist lurch to try to out-do the socialist Bernie Sanders;
her email scandal; her lies about the deaths in Benghazi; her terrible record of
non-accomplishments as Secretary of State; and the revelations of her and Bill’s
past scandals which the left believed were safely buried, but have been unearthed
for a new generation to see and consider.
Of course it’s true that there is pressure from all
sides to dump Trump and get the Republican party back on track again in order to
protect the careers of the professional politicians who, like Harry Reid have
become multi-millionaires on a comparatively Spartan Senate salary, and occupy elected
positions which many politicians eventually leave to join the influence-buying
and peddling pressure groups on Washington’s K Street, where some real money
can be made if one will only play the game and serve the corporate and
big-government ends of getting the votes that will serve the lobbyists.
Obama made a big mistake by turning his back on the
United States constitution and the laws of our nation. He awakened the so-called
Sleeping Giant hiding just under the surface of America’s comfortable and
contented majority, and they are pissed!
There is no doubt that there are things that have been
done by Obama that will plague the nation forever (illegal immigration;
healthcare uncertainty; bad schools;
racial divide; an influx of terrorist “refugees”
who intend us only ill; a debt that’s likely to be unrepayable) but if true
patriotic Americans are elected to the House, Senate and the White House this
year, the nation will survive once again, and maybe, to borrow from and
slightly modify Donald Trump’s slogan, just maybe, we can “Make America, America
Again”. At the very least, Obama has made us long for the good ole days prior
to his arrival, and that’s a wake-up call and a good start.
