Barack Obama’s most dangerous talent is his ability to make
people believe he’s something he’s not. He is not recognized for
whom and what he is, especially the fact that he does not like the
country he’s governing. He is effective because he has successfully
hidden his true objectives. He has convinced his followers that he
has their interests at heart, that he cares about them and wants to
help them. The key ingredient in his power lies in his ability to
deceive. People do not want to believe that he does not like the
country. Our country is in collective state of denial.
Barack Obama is arrogant, intolerant, mean, dishonest, vengeful,
and ruthless. He does not wish us well. He is considered by many of
his supporters to be a savior. In fact, he’s a destroyer. Is that
an unfair indictment? Consider the evidence.
The economy is operating far below its potential. Is he doing
anything to discover why? Millions of people are unable to find
jobs. Does he seem concerned? He has an abysmal ignorance of how a
market economy actually works. He doesn’t show the slightest
curiosity about the causes of our economic distress.
He doesn’t know what he’s doing and he doesn’t care that he
doesn’t know. He’s so incredibility arrogant, he doesn’t think he
even needs to know. The very fact that he thought he was qualified
to fill the most important office in the world demonstrates his
profound arrogance.
Obama sees no difference between his opinions and the truth. He
assumes whatever he says is true simply by the act of saying it. He
claims to have proposed $3.9 trillion in budget cuts but no one can
explain what he’s referring to. He doesn’t seem to recognize that
there is such a thing as the truth.
The reason he has to use a teleprompter is to keep himself from
expressing what he really thinks. Honesty or sincerity would lead
to his undoing.
Obama despises his political opponents. He shows no interest in
compromise or negotiation and is not interested in debating or
persuading. He wishes the Republican Party did not exist. He
resents constitutional checks and balances. When he said recently,
“I am not a dictator,” he was in fact whining. He wishes
he were a dictator or emperor.
Whenever he faces a choice between his interests and the
country’s interests, he always chooses his own. He is indifferent
to the country’s pain. In fact, he seems to relish seeing it
happen. He wants the sequester to cause as much pain as possible.
He wants to maximize, not minimize, the country’s pain.
We have a president who has a profound conflict of interest with
the country he’s leading. Economic growth is by far the most
effective solution to many of our problems. But economic growth
reduces the need for a large number of government programs — food
stamps, housing subsidies, and unemployment compensation, for
example. He wants to pile on ever more growth-killing regulations
and taxes. Economic growth is detrimental to his policy objectives.
He only wants to redistribute wealth, not create it.
He has stated that his desire is to “fundamentally transform”
America. Obviously he does not approve of what America is and has
been in the past. If you love your wife you do not want to
“fundamentally transform” her. If you do want to, then you don’t
love her. In his opinion, the birth of our country wasn’t a
blessing, it was a kind of original sin. The Obama White House is
comprised of people who see America in the same way.
He does not like our history, our traditions, and a large
segment of the population — Republicans, gun owners, “millionaires
and billionaires,” for example. He told his supporters in the 2012
election that “voting is the best revenge.” He has pitted citizen
against citizen.
Can it be denied that he has fomented class warfare? Is class
warfare a good thing? Why has he done this? He has done so in order
to serve his own selfish ends. Class warfare is good for Obama and
his Democrat allies, but it’s bad for the country. His
all-consuming policy objective is to expand the size and scope of
government in everyone’s lives. The corollary is the diminishment
of the individual.
He has indicted entire groups of people (millionaires and
billionaires, for example), virtually all of whom are honest,
law-abiding, productive members of society — no trial, no evidence,
just a verdict. They are found guilty simply because they have
wealth. Financial success used to be admired, now it is ridiculed
and demeaned. His heart is filled with malice, not generosity or
gratitude. He is fomenting hatred and envy. Most people want to
believe that he is basically a nice person. He is not.
Republican senators and congressmen either do not see the real
Obama or they do but don’t want to go public with their beliefs.
They need strategies based on who he is, not who he ought to
be.
America has made a grievous error in electing and then
reelecting a leader who hates the country he’s leading. Everyone
who loves the U.S. — its history, traditions, and a free-market,
voluntary exchange economy — is profoundly disheartened by what’s
going on before their eyes.
Barack Obama is doing profound and long-lasting damage to the
United States. He will continue to do so until people finally
recognize who the real Obama is.
