What Title Befits Obama?

So it's been a couple of months of hiding in remnants of Maine winter since I initiatied this totally unread rag. All has changed, however. Spring is springing, the Red Sox have opened their season, and President BHO has had his 100 days honeymoon.

It is the last item that deserves attention. The success of failure of the Red Sox will only elevate or deflate the members of Red Sox Nation. Spring will revolve (no, I didn't say evolve) into summer. However, we have a President who apparently isn't above modifying a good deal of the intent of his presidential campaign. Evidently "change" means he will change his attitude now that he has been elected. "Hope" has come to mean that we can hope the public wakes up sometime between now and the next election and votes him out of office.

Why? Let's see. Lies about the contents of his budget, waffling on lobbyists and earmarks, favoritism to the financial industry and dictatorial control of the motor industry, a lukewarm scolding of excessive bonuses to AIG, with a warning as an aside to bonuses paid to other stimulus recipients, an apparently stiff necked administrative staff which broaches NO dissent or questioning of Obama's decisions - oh, and of course, the staff is taking their lead from the Prez himself, who evidently has abandoned his fabled consensus discussion operative style in favor of "my way or the highway, Jack", an insistent display of disrespect to the Vatican when suggesting appointments of ambassadors (evidently this administration is so married to abortion that they have forgotten that the Vatican is sovereign unto itself and is not a sovereignty which accepts the murder of unborn children), assures a ruthless Islamic government in Turkey that has no problems killing Christians that we are not and will not be at war with Islam, while praising all that Islam has done in the world and the U.S. (?), and bowing to the Sheik of Saudi Arabia, which is not the same thing as kissing the Papal Ring - evidently a U.S. President is not required to bow before a sheik of another country - doing so shows obesience to the government of that country- to openly sharing the sentiment of some Supreme Court Justice that transnationalism would be a GOOD thing for the United States. He has evidenced no sense of accounting skills or projections, putting the U.S. in an extremely precarious position of near bankruptcy within two generations, or worse, an indebtidness to China that would render us a Chinese Province.

But that may not matter to this President, who is showing more inclination to abandoning American history, sovereignty, financial stability, and government "of the people, for the people, and by the people" than any other President, even the worst, who has served this country yet.

He was swept into office on very little other than vague platitudes bought by people desperate to free themselves of the shame and embarrassment inflicted on them by Bush the Younger. Yet he is showing promise of being a ruthless, dictatorial despot who will make Bush look like a slightly less bumbling character than Bush the Elder appeared. Given the choices, I'd welcome John McCain and those who would have worked with him into the White House.

Hopefully, "The emporer has new clothes" will die out in the ears of American voters soon, and they will start asking the tough questions that the supportive Left media doesn't want to ask or answer.
