Obama, Divider-in-Chief

As we wind down this mid-term election campaign there is no doubt in my mind that the Democratically controlled Congress will soon face a tidal wave they have not seen in years. It has happened four times since the 60’s, when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and governed from the left, the American voters vigorously drove them out of control. This time the rejection will be the most resounding in history.

President Obama, our psychiatrist-in-chief, claims we are “angry, scared, nervous, confused, and not thinking clearly”. Well, we are none of that. We just don’t want what he and this Congress has been dishing out for the past 20 months. The President, who campaigned on hope and change, now sounds more like he’s diagnosing depression rather than offering inspiration. I guess he believes we will resort to our “guns and religion” to find solace.

It’s the President who is angry and confused, he can’t understand why we have rejected his policies. His campaign rhetoric clearly illustrates this. Never in my adult life have I heard a President sound like a Chicago ward captain or community organizer pitching black vs. white, union vs. non-union, rich vs. poor, and telling Latinos that they must “punish their enemies” (presumably white people who want to stop illegal immigration and support the Arizona immigration law). Have you ever heard a President talk in such a way to demean the office and with such a lack of class? It almost seems that we have a Caesar Chavez in control of the office. Just amazing!

In other posts, I have talked about the traits of great leaders and showed how Obama has continually failed the test of meeting the requirements of an effective leader. Now he has lost the most important test of a leader……trust. The majority of the American people really don’t trust him or his minions, because we now understand where he comes from, how he thinks, and what drives him. His book “Dreams from My Father” tells it all, and from is the operative word here.

This President is driven by a man he never knew, his father, a professed Socialist and anti-colonist from Kenya. A man he only met once, at the age of 10, but was idolized in his mind by his mother, also a professed anti-colonist. This analysis is clearly laid out in Dinesh D’Souza’s new book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage”. In D’Souza’s words he concludes, “Our President is trapped in his father’s time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950’s. This philandering bigamist, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father’s dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is being governed by a ghost”.

Remember to vote on Tuesday.
