Obama's Lame Excuse for Leadership

The Republicans are majority party as Obama has become a "Lame Duck" President. 

The press has hyped this headline as if it were something new, a unique and epic level of partisan animus. Members of the Obama administration also promote it as something new since it assumes no deals with Republicans will be possible. It gives Obama a handy excuse they will now use: "It's not us, they vowed from the beginning they wouldn't work with us!"

But none of this was new. The other side always vows to crush you. Anyone who's been around for a while in Washington knows the opposition always are trying to sound tough, using hyperbole to buck up the troops. It's how they talk when the other guys are on the ropes. The president and his staffers have been around for a while and they understand what they were hearing was par for the course. Sadly the majority of the voting public is too young, preoccupied, uneducated and ill-informed to know these facts; so, they are gullible to easily swallow the idea for executive orders without any objections.

Obama had really put down a red line in the 2014 Midterm elections boasting his policies were on the ballot with the Democrats who would be elected. Instead, the Republicans victoriously crossed over it while the electorate rejected his policies. So is it time for Obama to pull out the pen and sign Presidential Executive Orders for actions to pass more laws and regulations?--Where is the Constitutional Law defining the balance of powers now?

Obama believes that in order to gain any public support in the waning days of his disastrous legacy of a lame duck presidency he must pull out his pen. After all, there is no bipartisan cooperation now. So, he is attempting to write into the history books his Stimulus Programs, Immigration Reforms, War Powers Acts, Monetary Policies and Tax Reforms as laws. Obama's writings are akin to scribbling graffiti on the walls of the bathroom stall for everyone to see but no one really cares to read anyway.  

Bill Clinton's foes made fierce vows about him, the enemies of both Bushes did the same. The opposing party always gets on the phone or gathers in what used to be Georgetown dens to President Reagan & Speaker Tip O'Neill - 1985 at White House denigrate the President and vow to fight him to the end. That's how blowhards blow. When Reagan came in they vowed to take him down, and it was personal. Speaker Tip O'Neill called him "ignorant" and a "disgrace" and said it was "sinful" that he was president. He called Reagan "a man who has no care and no concern for thePolitical Pundit Chris Matthews  working class of America" and said: "He's cold. He's mean. He's got ice water for blood." An O'Neill staffer, now a cable news pundit, Chris Matthews once greeted Reagan in the Capitol with the words: "Mr. President, welcome to the room where we plot against you." They did. President Reagan knew it. Yet he had no problem dealing successfully with O'Neill. He didn't moan, "Oh they hate me, it's no use!" 

In the movie 'Casablanca', as the Nazi's Prefect of Police, Captain Renault raids Rick's Cafe Americain as he shouts, "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" - Note to the Obama White House: There's always gambling at Rick's Cafe Americain. It's never a shock and not an excuse. It's business as usual. And if you're a leader you can lead right past it.--Sound like Washington, DC?

"People do what they know how to do," meaning politicians use whatever talent they have, and when it no longer works they continue using it.  Obama, however, has now resorted to "pulling a Bogart" by adopting Bogie's film persona, Rick's attitude of a world-weary resignation at how bad things are and what little he can do about it - "After all, it's the Republican's fault." - Obama is now a Lame Duck!

CASABLANCA, the 1942 Best Picture Oscar winner - Paul Henreid, Ingrid Bergman& Humphrey Bogart.

In case you are not familiar with Casablanca, the 1942 Best Picture film classic: 

Casablanca - In French-occupied Morocco. American expatriate Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) runs a dive bar called Rick’s and makes money gambling. When his former lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) comes into his bar, all the old feelings of their past relationship in Paris come back to him. Unfortunately, Ilsa and her revolutionary husband Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) are trying to get out of the country and are meeting resistance from the Germans and the Prefect of Police Captain Renault (Claude Rains) in his service as a figure of authority of the Nazis. As Rick and Ilsa start to fall back in love, the two are torn at what to do in order to survive.

Obama Vampire Diaries

Forrest Gump famously remarked, "Mama always said, "Stupid is as stupid does." You are what you do. Unfortunately, many do without even thinking--read on... George Carlin, Comedian & Social Critic

During the course of any day many different people normally offer the conciliatory "Hello, how are you?" greeting and then turn away without waiting for any reply, no intended insults taken either--everyone is polite, but busy. Occasionally conversations take up after the perfunctory salutations, then it can be an opportunity to share ideas about the weather or more substantive topics. 

Lately, however, I have realized that I have been in amongst an ever-growing population of the living dead; Vampires, a pejorative description for liberals who may appear to be regular people. Contrary to many popular misconceptions about the mythical Vampires, they can stand the light of day but not direct sunlight because they will sparkle showing what they really are--it sounds just like Vampire Liberals who cannot withstand any media spotlight highlighting their true colors, otherwise people should fear them as well.

The unfortunate tragedy here is that many of these Vampire Liberals are unaware they are transformed into the walking dead. They have been unknowingly programmed due to repeated exposure from a barrage of left-wing mainstream media assaults at home while inundated with propaganda under the auspices of the federally funded liberal school curriculums. The left-wing agenda has literally permeated the whole societal fiber of the citizenry today in order to control the politics. 

So how does this trend reverse itself? Sadly the quick answer is a very slow one as it has taken from 1960 to 2014 for fifty-four years plus to indoctrinate two generations into joining federal entitlement programs. A generation is defined as thirty years it takes for a person to be born and to have children of his own. Lyndon Johnson started "The Great Society" program to mimic the FDR "New Deal" program which then encompassed "The Civil Rights Act" and "The Medicare Act". Lyndon Johnson, who was ambivalent to the Civil Rights Bill for the blacks and changed his tune when he realized he could put a lock on a whole voting block real cheap, for the next fifty years, it was then a political deal that he really relished. 

Factoid: The 1964 election brought in many new liberals to Congress, making the House of Representatives in 1965 the most liberal House since 1938 due to public sympathy after the JFK assassination and completing JFK's program to lower the upper tax bracket by 20% and middle income ones too which increased the GDP 10%. Even though the House and Senate both had 2/3 Democrat members, during the heated debates on the Civil Rights Act, the Southern Dixiecrat Democrat segregationists voted against it to block it. The party of Abraham Lincoln, the Republican Party, voted in the legislation to enable it to pass. The Social Security Act of 1965 authorized Medicare. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act ended a long-standing political taboo by providing significant federal aid to public education, but it opened up ever since a pandora's box of intrusive Washington political agendas in all school levels through college.

The Johnson Administration submitted eighty-seven bills to Congress, and Johnson signed eighty-four, or 96%, arguably the most successful legislative agenda in U.S. Congressional history. 

Economist Thomas Sowell argues that President Lyndon Johnson's "The Great Society" programs only contributed to the destruction of African American families, saying "the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, then began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life."

An Important Election is coming up for a vote in 2014 to elect U.S. Congressmen who will listen to the people, not Washington -- Vote Wisely!

Martin Luther King's Dream Turns into a Nightmare

Lieing is real easy all of the time these days, just never tell the truth - who's to know anyway or really care compared to reality TV and sports?

The American liberal progressive education system is at work as witnessed on MLK Jr. Day, 2007, in Corpus Christi, TX when two African-Americans held signs intended to say "I HAVE A DREAM",  but instead said "I HAVE A DRAEM" and "I HAVE A DERAM".  What would Martin Luther King say today?  Hmnn...

Howard Stern contributors Sal and Richard travel to Harlem to interview Obama supporters and ask them why they are voting for Obama. They did this back in 2008, now let's see what happens when they do it again in 2012.

HARLEM: Howard Stern's Man-on-the-Street interviews with 2012 Obama voters

This is a sad testament to our electorate IQ mentality.  Apparently, none of these Obama voters know that Osama bin-Laden is dead, but they’re sure Obama will get him in his second term. However, all of them got this one right: John McCain will NOT win this election.

It's scary to think that these people are your "peers" in a jury box and fellow voters that will judge the 2012 Presidential Debates. Wow!  No wonder Obama thinks he has a chance to fool all of the people some of the time and all of the rest all of the time - saay whaat?  LOL!

Please Listen and you be the Judge!
