Recently
Keith Ellison, the new deputy chairman of the Democrat
National
Committee,
said that Barack Obama had not been the best president he could have
been. To Republicans this is an enormous understatement because
Republicans believe that Obama was about as bad as a president could
be and that the things he did to undermine the constitution and the
rule of law, on his way to “fundamentally transform America”,
will hurt America for years to come
But
after reading articles published by The
Hill and Mediaite,
one
discovers
that Mr. Ellison was not talking about harm to America and the
American public when he criticized Obama, he’s instead referring to
the harm Obama did to the Democrat Party, and you can forget all the
hand-wringing about old fashioned things like a rule of law and being
respectful of the constitution and its limitation of powers.
Mr.
Ellison bemoans the fact that Obama ignored Democrat
party
politics, that he could have been a little better Party leader, that
he concentrated too much on his legacy, and Ellison
thinks
each of these things have caused Democrats to lose state houses, the
Senate, the House and various governorships,
and
finds no room to blame Obama’s abortive Affordable Care Act nor his
open borders policy as any reason at all for losing all of the
elected positions the Democrats have suffered since Obama became
president.
So
all Mr. Ellison is concerned about are the selfish, power-related
things his party is being deprived of, not the many negative things
Obama did that have hurt the nation and caused Americans to have
fewer jobs, less money and less personal liberty than prior to Obama.
It appears that Mr. Ellison is not aware that the Democrats were
thrashed
in the last general election because
the citizens of America resent the socialist, leftward drift of their
nation and the casual way Obama handled national security, the
ISIS/terrorist threat and an economy that was floating aimlessly at
best. He feels no compassion for American citizens, but is all upset
about his precious Democrat Party and its loss of prestige.
Personally
I’m glad to learn how selfish and all-consumingly power-hungry the
Democrats are, because as long as they concentrate only on the
structure of their fool Party, they’ll never swing that radical
hate group in a direction that the American people will trust once
again and vote back into power.
