What's It All About, Barryyy?

What’s It All About, Barryyy?

“Curiouser and curiouser,” said Alice concerning what she was witnessing in her Wonderland. Taking Alice’s linguistic lead, I would have to say I’m “confuseder and confuseder” over what’s going on in Obamaland, formerly America.

Perhaps it’s my naïveté or just my ignorance showing but I really can’t believe all that’s gone on in five short months.

Granted, I didn’t vote for the guy and I dislike his demeanor, his personality, and his arrogant obamatude, even as he bows and scrapes and apologizes for America to foreigners. I’ve had to try to re-think my feelings about my ongoing impressions of President Obama and what he’s doing to make sure I’m not reacting personally and that I’m at least trying to be objective.

After all, I didn’t vote for Carter or Clinton, either, but I never felt this gut fury that I feel toward Obama. (For the edification of the FBI, I’m not the violent type so please don’t come knocking at my door with guns blazing. I’ll probably be sleeping.)

Clinton was just a disturbed, prevaricating overachiever and Carter was patently and dangerously inept so maybe I just cut them some slack. The current guy isn’t just a disturbed, lying overachiever nor merely dangerously inept. He’s all of the above. Combined, that makes him a singular instance in the history of the presidency, and downright frightening.

Obama was already on record as The Man Who Will Go Down as the Multi-Trillion Dollar Deficit President who spread his tentacles throughout the land to socialize American industries and nationalize the banking sector unto himself.

He is the president who announced his intent to dictate pay levels for employees of American corporations and render them supplicants of Barney Frank and the tender mercies of the federal bureaucracy.

He is the president who is crusading to deprive Americans of their right to keep and bear ammunition, thereby make their constitutional right to keep and bear arms farcical.

He is the president who is in process of anointing ACORN and its Obama-worshippers/vote-fixers as American equivalents of Oliver Cromwell who will repress White American dissidents as brutally as Cromwell destroyed the Irish.

Consider a few of his most recent statements and actions and those of his minions who are nothing more than his functionaries. All are engaged in unprecedented, national power-grabbing, transparent efforts to alter our system of government and our national defense. Some things have to be transparent with this increasingly-opaque regime.

As President Obama said to his Hollywood lackeys, “You ain’t seen nothin’, yet.” I fear we haven’t.

The IG Capers: All chief executives are entitled to appoint their own people for significant and insignificant positions in their administrations.

However, Obama has gone beyond simply appointing tax cheats and other disreputables. He tipped his repressive hand by removing all semblance of checks and balances on the executive branch by firing anyone who dares to show some courage by exposing corruption. You may stay on the payroll, was the intimation, as long as you don’t out me and my comrades.

First was Gerald Walpin, the highly regarded and eminently qualified Inspector General with purview over AmeriCorps, who was dismissed for what Obama called being “confused” and “disoriented.” Coincidentally, this followed Walpin’s investigation and allegations of improprieties against an Obama supporter, Kevin Johnson: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-tc-nw-inspectors-0617-0618jun18,0,5718990.story.

Not content with firing Walpin, Obama, acting in defiance of the law mandating 30 days notice of such firings, engaged in character assassination with his comments, which made no reference to Lady MacBeth’s Michelle’s interest and involvement with AmeriCorps: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/16/obama-accuses-fired-inspector-general-americorps-confused-disoriented/.

If nothing smelled rotten in the State of Obama at that point, subsequent developments did. The acting IG of the International Trade Commission, Judith Gwynne, was sent packing as was the vaunted watchdog of the trillion dollar bank bailout, Neil Barofsky, when he too got too nosey.

Curiouser and confuseder.

The ABC Caper: The American Broadcasting Network earlier this week announced it will be relocating on June 24th to the friendly confines of the Obama White House to stage a one-sided “news” presentation of Obama’s health plan. Better labelled the Obama News Network, it followed up that announcement, after protests that dissenting opinions were being crushed by the OBN, by obstinately refusing to air even a paid 60 second opposition viewpoint.

The group Conservatives for Patients Rights request for a one-minute spot to was rejected by ONN.

In a statement objecting to ONN’s decision, Rick Scott, chairman of the aptly acronymed CPR, said, “Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers’ money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue: “http://drudgereport.com/flashaot1.htm.

There shalt not be any robust debate, in fact no debate at all. The CPR request sounded very reasonable to me but when you’re hell-bent on forcing another unpalatable trillion dollar bill down America’s throat, apparently censorship takes precedence over reasonable.

Harry and Louise, we need you to help stop this Thelma and Louise suicidal ride off a cliff with the mad hatter at the wheel! . . .
