The Obama agenda smells like a durian

Posted 14 Oct 2010 in Barack Obama, economy, healthcare, Obamacare, socialism, unemployment

With embarrassing losses looming on the horizon for the 2010 midterm elections, Chairman Zero is already backpedaling and claiming that the reason America hasn’t embraced his Hopenchange socialism is because he hasn’t explained it well enough.

It is not enough to be supremely sure that he is right if no one else agrees with him. “Given how much stuff was coming at us,” Obama told me, “we probably spent much more time trying to get the policy right than trying to get the politics right. There is probably a perverse pride in my administration — and I take responsibility for this; this was blowing from the top — that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.”

Preposterous! That’s like arguing that people don’t eat offal because it isn’t served on a pretty plate.

Over the past 18 months, whenever the president advanced his agenda he was on TV giving numerous speeches to pump up his public opinion. That’s the very reason everyone jokes about the Teleprompter-In-Chief: Obama primary concern in anything he does is how it will be portrayed by his lapdog media.

But now, even the media is beginning to smell what Barack is cooking. The American people don’t like Obama’s socialist agenda because now, after years of his ridiculously lofty campaign rhetoric, they’re finally getting a whiff of his rancid, Soviet-style policies. And his prickly, foul agenda stinks like a durian.

What’s a durian, you might ask? It’s a “delicacy” from Southeast Asia whose odor has been described as “pig-sh*t, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock.”

Sounds just like Obamacare to me.

Jon Kraushar lays out the “achievements” of the Obama administration that have become so unpalatable to a majority of Americans.

Beginning with his nearly trillion-dollar stimulus, his hundreds of billions in bailouts, and his record-setting debt, the president insisted that the country needed to “absorb” all his spending and government intervention to cure massive unemployment and an economic meltdown. Today, America is deep in joblessness and unsustainable debt and is still deeply mired in an economic stall.

Then came the need for the nation to “absorb” the reconstruction of its health care system with Obamacare as the president’s prescription. That was followed by Obama’s crusade for the free market to “absorb” an overhaul of financial regulations. Never mind that in both cases, costs, competition, choices, and other adverse effects have been grossly misrepresented by the president and his allies.

Now, the president has left all Americans to “absorb” the prospect that because Democrats wouldn’t vote to extend the Bush tax cuts, everyone’s taxes are scheduled to go up next year. If the president has his way, the nation will also need to “absorb” the following:

  • Record tax increases on energy if Obama’s “cap and trade” bill passes.

  • Millions of illegal immigrants. Is Obama planning some kind of amnesty next and what about border security?

  • A nuclear Iran. While Obama blusters, the dangerous and demented leaders of Iran build their nuclear capability and mock the United States.

  • The job-killing and bankrupting effects of union demands. Obama’s enabling of outrageously high pension, pay and other sweetheart deals for unions buys him union votes and buys America economic pain.

  • Continuing seizure of states’ rights and individuals’ rights by a statist government. On just about any issue—including spending, taxing, health care, education, the environment and illegal immigration—Obama’s big government encroaches on laws and decisions best made by individual states (see the Constitution’s 10th Amendment) and individual citizens (see the Bill of Rights).

  • The abuse by terrorists of America’s democratic systems. Obama’s Justice Department grants terrorists captured domestically the “right to remain silent” and fights to give them civilian rather than military trials.

  • Apologies, appeasements, aid and arms to foreign foes. Physically, financially, militarily and in every other way, Obama has bowed to America’s adversaries such as Saudi Arabia and China.

  • Corruption by elected or appointed officials. This includes our tax cheat Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. It extends to loan scandals involving Democratic Senators Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Kent Conrad of North Dakota and also encompasses ethics investigations into Democratic Congress Members Charlie Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California.

Bill Clinton claimed to feel our pain. Barack Obama wants us to absorb the pain he inflicts on us for what he believes are higher purposes and a stronger America. If you vote in the November midterm elections, consider whether you prefer to “absorb” or reject the pain Obama keeps dishing out.

A few other tidbits for which Obama thinks we should thank him:

How’s that Hopenchange working out for ya?
