TGIF: The State of Obama’s Union

Despite what some popular right-wing talk-show hosts claim, Barack Obama is not pushing Marxism, revolutionary or otherwise. He’s pushing good old American progressive-corporate elitism.

  1. Title: What Is Obama Doing To A Docile Republican Legislature?

    With the new National debt reaching $14.3 trillion after the Congressional Budget Office issued (1/26/10) a report predicting that the 2010 Obama budget deficit would be $1.35 trillion, this stratospheric escalation would in essence, according to a chief contributing analysist on Fox News, “exceed the entire 8 years of George W. Bush’s debt as president in Obama’s first 20 months.” What a milestone for President Obama who can’t stop himself from the sheer enjoyment of spending money that isn’t his own, isn’t even our own, since more than half of that National debt is owed to one country: China. With 18% of unemployed-underemployed throughout 43 states operating in-the-red-deficit, howling tax appropriations for the Cap and Trade bill waiting in the wings of Congress, and a 2nd major stimulus bill secretly being twirled quietly in Democratic Party chambers for Spring-Summer 2010 (above and beyond the $787 billion in the first anemic one), we in the Tea Party movement had hoped we might see some refrainment, some center-move ever so slightly to the Right in Obama’s State of the Union speech, however such hopes were dashed beneath the Sisyphus boulder, and our hands crushed by the sheer weight of Obama’s greatest roiling wave of vindictive lies yet.

    The undisguised swineherd in the Senate quickly voted (1/27/10) to go $1.9 trillion deeper in debt, offering to the public a vivid reminder that the government has to borrow 40 cents of every dollar it spends, rushing the vote to maintain the magical 60-39 count of passage which raised it above the reach of the unseated and newly elected Senator-elect Scott Brown. More than $45,000 for every man, woman, and child in the US would be needed to remove tha National debt; and is it any wonder that Senator John McCain (R) could state last week on Hannity: “Our Party’s stand is a repudiation of the president’s product and process.” Rumor is that the Senate is still conceiving an end-run of the Obama Healthcare bill through that dismal corridor by using the reconciliation vote, if Reid can gather 50 submissive Democratic senators without stomach complaints (cases of fast-acting Mylanta have been available since Brown’s meteoric rise) and Pelosi can be the cheerleader holding all the Resumption sign-boards.

    *** “He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.” *** Cicero (106BC – 43 BC)

    Obama thrives on playing politics and his air of arrogance and his broad plane of lies pervaded even the Republican Retreat meeting in Baltimore (1/29/10) where he continued the same cynical attitude assaulting the Republican legislators present who had invited him to speak. Like Hitler he will never work out a deal, and as Karl Rove reported (1/29/30) on O’Reilly’s Factor: The Republican House Leader had not been invited once in the last year to discuss policy amendments of any substance with the Chief of Staff of the White House. Yet in Obama’s speeches at the Retreat and at the State of the Union he misrepresents and cuts off any dialogue with Republican-conservative legislators with his dominant dictatorial air, and he has obviously advised all his ‘palace guards’ to do so as well. Obama’s totally cynical propaganda spewed in reams of passion since Scott Brown’s victory is with-chin-in air meant to be cool, sarcastic, and often humorous before his adoring press. He continues like Hitler and Dr. Goebbels to exploit the lowest instincts of the United States people with class envy and economic insecurity, proclaiming he is the seer, the companion of excellence sent from Zeus the Thunderer; however, with rightous justification he can be transformed just as easily to become the Zeus of the Black Clouds should he be opposed, not listend to, insulted…and in both speeches his face could not hide its biting invective and dark insinuation, nor could his hand not pound with reverberation the podium where he stood, so like the classic dictators of the 20th century. This man is no bearer of discussion, but is rather “jew-baiting” constantly and consistently the Republican Party, drawing afresh the line of demarcation, and all but falling short of raising a virtual Ghetto that would tragically restrict that party from having any political access and influence in the future.

    Rather than building a bridge, he, like the Nazis after passage of the hated Nuremberg Laws (1935), forces his weight and manner to show us that we are beginning a new period of persecution, and that every word that comes out of his mouth since Scott Brown’s Victory is a brick in the construction of the boycott of the meaning and constitutional importance of the minority party in Congress. Another anarchic instance of his “jew-baiting” witnessed by 48,000,000 viewers on 11 networks (and only rightously objected to by Fox News) was the Hitlerian attack upon the Supreme Court justices at the State of the Union Speech in which he lambasted 6 justices present for their court ruling “which would open the flood gates” (Obama’s words) to foreign corporate money influencing American elections. Never missing an opportunity to insult a Supreme court, Obama ignored the negative head shake of Justice Samuel Alito Jr. who knew the facts and felt the bronzed-tipped lie of the president personally as he appeared to say correctly: “Not true.” But like the good Dr. Goebbels who fathered in Germany in the 30′s the Big Lie, the lie that if told over and over again, it begins to cease and remove all ‘natural diminution’ so that it grows greater in executionary value, so proudly do men such as these present us with “false gifts” to treasure as truths. Especially when the telecommunication medium gives Obama the widest currency in lying, and covers up the lies…with the blood-stained sands from Nuremberg…

    *** “He removes the greatest ornament of friendship, who takes away from it RESPECT.” ***

    The internal debt which under Hitler rose 5 fold in 3 years in Germany has under Obama risen 4 fold since George W. Bush’s last year, 2008. Hitler had to find and hunt down his own personal “enemy”. Read how similar the climate of Nazi Germany’s failed economy is to our own today! *”Exports have diminished to a point never known before; wages have gone down; raw material is scarce (i.e. inventory levels (1/29/10) shrank drastically as buyers continued cutting shelved items to boost (paradoxically) earnings); so are also certain kind of foodstuffs. There were signs of unrest in the summer (1935) and they may be expected to increase this winter. How is the emergency to be met? What other means has National Socialism of quieting the unrest except a strong drive against the remaining economic positions of the Jews.” (*Text from “Where The German Ghetto Leads” by William Zukerman, 1935) German dictator Adolf Hitler in spite of the terrible Nuremberg Laws spun the middle class into a fury against his personal enemy: the formerly natural citizens of Germany of Jewish religion.

    But it’s wrong as well presently when a leader like Obama tries to forge with his scandelous lies and “jew-baiting” tactics an impotent and ineffectual Republican minority party leadership as Obama has oppressively condoned since last summer, i.e. due to his dangling, diabolic Democratic Healthcare bill this January; or when he raises anti-Republican brutality in his fascist-rhetoric and in his off-the-cuff remarks and jokes (always at the other guy’s expense); or launches a renewed and maddened brand of intensified anti-Republican drive against the economic position of the middle class with a Stalinest-Progressive fury. As frightening to us today as it was back then to the “Jewish hostages” of the Nazi regime, no doubt. Seventy-five years after 1935: a minority party, the base of United States conservatism, in a western nation is once again being surgically detached by a fascist-socialist president who is making a deliberate policy of exclusion and omission to remove the minority party from all Congressional debate.

    Obstruction of dialogue, obfuscation, critical and excessive group-centrism and aggresiveness from within the White house…all in the Dr. Goebbels’ CODE of Jew-Baiting techniques used to CRUSH the Jewish citizenry of a still Democratic Germany in 1935. Obama’s repeated denials by sheer will of previously made promises, far beyond the C-Span one, and his deliberate misrepresentation of facts and sources (in both recent speeches/Q&A mentioned) can only lead us to the conclusion that his egoism is confusingly linked and/or bound to the political leadership of the nation. Does he aspire like Hitler to lead and bring everyone ‘Obamaic” into the sacred collective? The pears and pomegranates in the trees that hung above Tantalus could not be reached, although his thirst drove him to try to reach them, they were ever out of the reach…thanks to Zeus-Obamian updrafts. Obama continues to squeeze the Republican Party into his party of Tantalus, isn’t he? They are not intended ever to be a part of Obama’s sacred flock. Alan Keyes in debating Obama during the Presidential Primaries of the 2008 Presidency contest found something incredibly disingenuous, perhaps pathological in Obama’s behavior and reasoning during their encounters.

    Finally, for the Republican Party, what can we expect next? The Culminating Stage: OSTRACISM AND EXILE!

    Senator Olympia Snowe (R) Maine in an interview this week on Fox’s Greta Van Susteren withdrew her support from the Democratic Senate Healthcare bill in December (having voted for it as the Baucus bill on the Finance Committee) due to Harry Reid’s “artificial deadlines,” and the madness of that bill being written by one party, the Democrats, in total secrecy. Again, a consorted effort as displayed in both Obama’s directive and his recent speeches/Q&A to treat the Republican Party like the tortured Sisyphus who could not placate the offended Zeus who would not bring himself to forgive that lowly mortal. Are there phobias and paranoia for political purposes that intently exclude the Republican Party from his Grand Design: Form follows Function; Mind over Matter? There is no outreach in Obama’s hands as the grand designer to develop any relationship at all with the Republican Party who he deliberately omits from the overall landscape; they lack every sustenance in the interior’s design of this becoming Nation, it appears. They have become the Sisyphusian rock in his cold, emboldened heart. He knows it -you can read it in the television film’s solid ‘verbiage’ (i.e. a kind of skunk cabbage symbolically comes to mind) in any one of his classic smirks, particularly when losing his patience with the Republican legislators at the Republican Retreat in Baltimore. His special emphasis of his false-contrite irritation and each new medium and venue where it will surely occur again, was palpable to this viewer and to millions of other Conservatives, since the television cameras never in a stright-line application lie. Like a dull painting, he will continue to follow the same egotistical FORM…for WHAT to DO with the Republican legislature has under mounting (internal stress) pressure reached the lowest GUTTER Place on his agenda.
