Barack Obama, Man of the People

By Steve McCann

The portrait of Barack Obama's presidency is that of an egocentric -- not only incapable of leadership, but someone who views the office as a vehicle for the satisfaction of his delusion that the world not only owes him a living, but a sumptuous one.

A trait common to many who espouse socialism, inclusive of dictators and Democrats, is an insatiable appetite for self-indulgence.  While those on the conservative side of the political spectrum are often accused of hypocrisy when it comes to matters of sex and morality, those on the left are equally guilty, if not more so, in matters of money, paying taxes, and lifestyle.

Regardless of the public image they may convey, Barack Obama and his wife never fail to take full advantage of a lifestyle that would be the envy of any modern-day monarch while the bulk of the American populace struggles to afford life's necessities.

He is but another in a long line of those who promote socialism and proclaim to be "of the people" with only the interests of the citizens at heart -- as they duplicitously pursue a personal agenda.   

Beyond the unquestioned belief by those on the left that they are the most capable, thus superior and pre-ordained to govern the masses, the traits most common to the vast majority of self-described "progressives" in positions of power are jealousy, greed, and massively inflated delusions of entitlement...

(Ribbet!)

This is exactly why they do it--and why they think they are entitled. Not just Zippy and Michelle--but Communists everywhere, for all time. And it's exactly why communism will never work.

Oh sure, they say socialism/communism is 'fairer'--that everyone will have the same--but it's not true. Every single Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hugo Chavez, Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, Fidel Castro etc. has always lived much, much better than the 'proletariat' around them--and they always intended to.

You'll never see them standing in any breadline they caused, wearing lousy shoes, or told how many children to have. They won't suffer their own revolution-made health care, give up their vacations, eat meat only once a week, or send their kids to government schools. No, they always have the expectation of something quite different for themselves--as the Obamas most certainly do.

That's why it's particularly galling the way Michelle feigns 'tiredness', speaks of Barack's 'gray hairs', hints at their self-sacrifice, and says they've 'pledged their whole working lives for the good of America'; this is just a calculated move to keep their hands close to our pockets and justify their entitlement. I mean, they can't have us complain. They can't get us 'riled up'--and we'll be too 'Minnesota nice' to object until it's too late (and maybe they'll get lucky and they'll have our guns by then). The gravy train runs only as long as we let it, or until they ruin our economy and they've milked the cow quite dry.

Michelle had better be careful, though... a bullet in the head, in a unused soccer field, frequently awaits those who don't use their people well. For those that do, heaps of skulls, millions dead, and all the wasted good things America has to offer has been--and will be--the evil legacy of this failed system, and these awful people. Some are deluded that things will turn out differently. And some, like Barack and Michelle, well, I think they just don't care.

This is just White Wally World anyway, right? And that's not their world at all.
