I have bad news for President Obama. Like Barney Frank getting dumped before the waiter could bring the next round of apple-tinis, the man-date is over. That is to say, whatever smidgeon of a mandate he may have had, real or perceived, has ended. The people who fell for his messianic bravado and empty platitudes like “Hope” and “Change” have gotten the bill for his “free lunch” and have no desire to let him call for take out again.
It’s hard to say whether it was a determination to truly wreak havoc on our country or if Mr. Obama actually believed he had the backing of every American to push decidedly leftist policies but he did. Despite his margin of victory being thinner than that low-carb bread my wife thought was a good idea he was not to be deterred. His Majesty used this, choke, choke, overwhelming support to push an agenda that even his pal Fidel Castro thought was a bit left of center. He started things off with massive spending bills that resulted in a few over-priced temp jobs and washed that down with the overtaking of the nation’s health and wellness that amounted to roughly 1/6th of our economy. Why stop there right? He nationalized a major automaker and the student loan industry so fast NASCAR pit crews would be amazed.
Having done all that the tuckered out Prez took a vacation or ten and waited for the results of all of his hard work to kick in…and it did! Well, not exactly the way he’d planned. The trillion dollar stimulus that was perfect for keeping unemployment under 8% failed miserably but who’s really gonna notice that on a national debt that was already so big? Or those few million people without jobs? And we can’t forget Obamacare, which is already starting to give us “benefits” like a spike in premium costs to offset pre-existing conditions like lazy dependent kids who can’t seem to move out by 26. I don’t need an entitlement for that I would pay heavily out of pocket to have those surgically removed by 21 at the latest.
At a recent rally for Democrat Russ Feingold, Michelle Obama begged voters for patience so the greatness of Obama’s reform can continue. As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, the US First Lady poignantly said that “she felt the economic anxiety of hurting Americans”, but pleaded with them to give her husband more time to forge the change he promised. Why should we when even our reporters are losing jobs to foreigners? I think that’ll be about enough Mrs. O.
The elections are here, polls are coming in and it seems to be shaping up for a true mandate. One that will either take us off the path to the fairy tale land of Hope and Change or at the very least put a fork in the road and send Obama to Far, Far Away to dine with Shrek. It’s up to us now to send a loud message. Like they say in Chicago, vote and vote often.
