DICK MORRIS — Only the Senate and House Republicans can save Obama now by compromising and lending his extremist legislation the veneer of bipartisanship in order to remove it as a political issue… (more)

Throughout most of the two hundred and thirty three years since that first Independence Day, a significant number of Americans have indulged in the luxury of ignoring the entire political scene, caring not whether the particular administration in power leans left or right. This was mainly due to the forethought of the founders, who in their wisdom established binding limits on the actions of government through the Constitution. Therefore, regardless of who held the reins of power, deviations in the direction of the country would probably remain within safe perimeters.

Unfortunately, this relative safety inherent in American life eventually led to ignorance and complacency, which made it inevitable that eventually a leader would emerge who held the nation’s founding principles, along with the entire concept of limited government, in total contempt. If one were to ignore the lies and fraud perpetrated by the Obama Administration over the past year, and only consider the evidence of this past week, it would still be impossible to escape the conclusion that Barack Obama hates everything good about America, its former standing in the world, and the ideals of morality and freedom for which it once stood.

His propaganda arm, known as the “mainstream media” can chant its platitudinous accolades with all the shrillness it can muster. Yet the reality remains. The policy decisions of Barack Obama are in complete harmony with the bile and venom of the anti-American left, and his sinister intentions for the country are increasingly being brought to bear, with no quarter given to his opposition.

Was this what the country rallied to last November? Did average Americans really want to see their great engines of freedom and capitalism swallowed up by a federal leviathan, or their daily excursions and exchanges brought under the dispassionate scrutiny of the state?

While many on the right and in the middle were understandably fed up with the lackluster campaign of Senator John McCain, and his willingness to accept far too much of the Democrat political philosophy, it is absurd to contend that the nation had intentionally lurched so far to the left that it knowingly embraced the radicalism of the Obama machine. Yet such is the liberal monster that has since been unleashed. Its actions are deliberate and malignant. And in every area that it intrudes, grave damage is done, not only to the national fabric, but also to the delicate structure of international politics.

Within only the last few days, a crushing tax bill offered under the discredited premise of “saving the environment,” has passed its initial vote in the House. If enacted, it would devastate manufacturing and business enterprises across America. It would ensure a mad dash of otherwise viable corporations to offshore locations. And it would drive the price of new homes off the charts, sending that market into an abyss.

Yet Obama, exuding all of the allure of a snake charmer, stands in front of the cameras and extols the House vote as a great boon to the people of the country. Meanwhile, global temperatures will take their cue not from the exorbitant levels of taxation intended to crush a once-great people, but from the activity of the sun, just as it has been throughout history. Meanwhile, a credible report from the Environmental Protection Agency, disputing the whole concept of man-made global warming, is suppressed. Hard evidence is systematically censored if it does not advance the interests of the liberal state.

Nevertheless, even an onerous tax, built on this obvious hoax, could be rescinded with relative ease, if the nation awakens from its stupor, recognizes the fraud that has been foisted on it, and cleans house inside the Beltway. But among other nations of the world, such mindless damage as is being projected from Washington may take decades to correct, if ever.

Iran is a striking, and increasingly tragic example of just this. It was through the inane and unfounded arrogance of Jimmy Carter, the interminably lame-duck president from 1977 to 1981, that Iran morphed into its current malignant condition. After thirty years of being a menace to every civilized nation, its downtrodden people have attempted to raise themselves against the flagrant tyranny under which they suffered for so long. In response, Obama’s America offered callous indifference, inarguably giving a green light to Iran’s murderous Ayatollahs who have since used brute force to crush the popular uprising.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the ruling madman, remains in power with Obama’s help. The despotism continues, and the entirety of western civilization, exhibits complete impotence in response. Clearly, Obama regards Ahmadinejad and his fellow Islamists as kindred. Yet the picture gets worse still.

In Honduras, the people rejected the obsessive ambitions of their president Manuel Zelaya, who had hoped to establish himself as an unaccountable monarch for life. So they ousted the wayward leader and installed a successor who promises to return the government to its constitutional operation. Joining such noted luminaries of liberty and justice as Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, and Hugo Chavez, Barack Obama has condemned this popular uprising of the people. Unlike his response to Iran, he has no problem interfering in this situation in an effort to restore the Marxist Zelaya as that nation’s uncontested ruler.

On the other hand, it is necessary to consider the magnitude of what is being accomplished in Honduras. A tinhorn Marxist dictator is being thrown out, and a nation is restoring the primacy of its constitution, thus reclaiming the right to determine its future. It is wholly understandable why Chavez, Castro, and even Obama would recoil at the ramifications of such a prospect.

Few could have conceived that an American “leader” might ever be found in such a mix., or that this nation could sink this far, and this fast. Communist banana-republic thugs and Islamist kooks are embraced and supported by this administration. Huddled masses yearning to breathe free on their own soil are ignored and oppressed. And increasingly, the laws and institutions of the United States are remolded to enforce “right thinking” according to those in power. This is not the America we knew.

                                                                                                                                                                         In a stunning decision, Dictator Barack Hussein Obama and his State-run media — along with ObamaFriends Dictators Fidel Castro (Cuba) and Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) — announced that he supports Honduran President Manuel Zelaya against the democratic Honduran forces. Note: After Obama’s stance on Iran, when he initially supported the ruling mullahs, this should come as no surprise to anyone.According to leftist Reuters News Service: “U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday the coup that ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was illegal and would set a “terrible precedent” of transition by military force unless it was reversed.” In another journalistic exemplar of not knowing what he is talking about, Obama’s CBS News wrote that their boss (Obama) announced the Honduran coup was “not legal.” Outrageous — but, expected from Obama. As he is also a dictator, he most certainly supports others of his ilk. Full  Article

On a one-man and multi-Czar mission to turn the USA into — at least — a third world country, Obama is in the process of taking over all major US industries — thus far, he’s commandeered the auto industry and banking. He is now going after the crème de la crème — healthcare and the attendant Insurance companies. ObamaControl of this industry will give him ultimate power over all of us. During a recent speech to the American Medical Association (AMA), he said: “What accounts for the bulk of our costs is the nature of the healthcare delivery system.” Translation: “I don’t like this entire US system and plan to trash it.” He then said: “We spend vast amounts of money on things that aren’t necessarily making people any healthier.” Translation: “I know how to manage healthcare better than doctors. Besides, I not only want a piece of this action, I want it ALL!” Full Article

The French definitely know fashion. From the elegance of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent to the theatricality of Jean Paul Gaultier, they know how to dress the female form. Even their First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, was a fashion model and earned up to $7.5 million a year during the ’90s for strutting the catwalks of such designers as Sonia Rykiel, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Givenchy and Christian Lacroix.

Again last week, Obama had shown that he just can’t stay away from the cameras and instant gratification of a live audience or forum. Of course his work in the White House of dictating his destructive policies to his czars and having them carry out his agenda, leaves him plenty of time on his hands for seeking out the praise of his misguided worshipers and supporters.

Did you ever wonder how the man in the most powerful job in the world has so much time on his hands for traveling around to townhall forums and giving speeches for the cameras? The answer should be obvious to anyone. He is not doing the job of president, someone else is from behind the curtain. Obama is simply the “front man” show host.

Jim Jones of the People’s Temple had the same need for instant gratification from his adoring crowds and we all know how that turned out in Guyana. And now you know where the term “Kool-aid drinkers” comes from. Obama thinks he can get the whole country to drink his Kool-aid but more and more people are throwing down their paper cups and refusing to drink the poison.

Obama appears to be more suited as a game show host than a president. He is running the government like a game show. AIG, come on down; GE come on down; General Motors, come on down; Chrysler, come on down; UAW come on down; SEIU, come on down; Sierra Club come on down; ACORN, come on down. These are just some of his contestants and we taxpayers are the sponsors who provide the prizes. In the Obama game show, all selected contestants win, while we sit in the audience and watch our money being poured down the filthy drain of socialism.

Monty Hall couldn’t do a better job of giving away jobs and money to his personally selected winners, but he could probably do a better job of running the executive branch of government. At least Hall knew something about capitalism, American industry and products, and running a business. That would give him the advantage over Obama if the two were applying for the job.

Obama’s czars are running the country while Obama is playing game show host. Obama needs to stop this play acting presidency and resign from office on the grounds that he is not qualified, neither constitutionally as a natural born citizen, nor by executive experience, nor by an understanding of, and respect for, the Constitution. I’m sure they would welcome him in Hollywood where he could begin a new career in reality shows. I don’t know how long our country can endure this amateur celebrity pretending to be a leader, who couldn’t lead a dog to water or fleas to a dog.

“Well, I think our first role should be shareholders that are looking to get out.” Obama says about the GM takeover. “You know, I don’t want to run auto companies, I don’t want to run banks. I’ve got two wars I’ve got to run already. I’ve got more than enough to do. So the sooner we can get out of that business, the better off we’re going to be.” He got the shareholders out alright, but without their money.

Of course he doesn’t want to run these companies. He wants to own and control them, leaving his czars to run them. Obama is fully aware that he is not capable of running a Dairy Queen, let alone a large corporation. So what is he doing in charge of the U.S. Government? Or is he? Who pulls Obama’s strings? We already know some of them, but that’s a story for another day. We also know the consequences when someone annoys him or his friends. Just ask Rick Wagoner or Gerald Walpin.

I’ll tell you what he’s doing with this power; he’s driving our country into bankruptcy and depression with his Marxist agenda which is all he really knows. What he is not doing is protecting and defending the Constitution and our personal liberties.

He isn’t doing the work of the president, he has his czars and staff doing all of that while he spends his time traveling around with his teleprompter and making celebrity appearances for the cameras. To him, every appearance is a game show and the game is to see how many people he can fool with his doubletalk. Many of us see right through his artificial facade. Many of us aren’t buying it. Many of us are demanding that he prove his constitutional qualifications for president or step down and vacate that office to someone who is qualified.

During the 8 years of the Bush Administration, how many times did we see George W. Bush out running around and getting his face in front of the cameras? Bush gave a weekly recorded radio address and that was just about it other than his annual State of the Union Address.

He didn’t make career of playing celebrity game show host and constantly arranging for the adoration of his fans before the cameras. He worked hard most of the time doing the work of the president in the oval office. Even when he was away from the White House, he still worked on presidential business and was responsible to his position and the American people. And he didn’t blame his problems and everything he did wrong on his predecessor, as the childish Obama does.

We don’t need a community organizing reality show host in the White House. We need a real president and leader, especially now. Even now with friction escalating in No. Korea, and a revolution taking place in Iran, Obama is showing no leadership for the United States. He is afraid to take sides against the Mullahs in support of the Iranian people with any strong statement. He doesn’t know what to say. Only after public pressure did he get someone to write a weak, noncommittal statement for him to put his name on, then the media lauds it as “He is so smart in the way he is handling the crisis in Iran!” Don’t make me puke!

“We are excited to see what appears to be a robust debate taking place in Iran. Whoever ends up winning the election in Iran, the fact there has been a robust debate hopefully will advance our ability to engage them in new ways.” says Obama.

While a revolution is taking place in Iran, Hillary Clinton said that Obama Administration plans for negotiations with Iran will continue. Does that mean that she and Obama expect the revolution to fail? With whom do they expect to be negotiating when regime change seems more evident in Iran day by day? Obama and Clinton may have to rewrite their plans for negotiating with terrorist supporting states.
