Barack Obama should resign the Presidency.
Today.
He is failing to discharge his duties as President. As I have mentioned before, Obama voted “present” 129 times as an Illinois state senator and he continues to vote present as President. Obama is not a leader. He is a great campaigner, great community organizer and a terrific orator, but he is not of Presidential timber. He is not a leader and is not up to this job.
It crystallized in my mind when I read this Drudge headline:
60 SPILLION GALLONS LATER: OBAMA TO MEET BP CHAIRMAN
Why the hell did it take this long to meet with the Chairman of BP? At first Obama said it was a waste of time.
President Obama, have you spoken with the CEO of BP to discuss the oil spill in the Gulf?
“No… when you talk to a guy like the BP CEO, he’s going to say all the right things to me. I’m not interested in words. I’m interested in actions.”
This is the guy who said
“Don’t tell me words don’t matter.”
Rand Simberg made a great point
Why is it that the president would talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions, but he thinks that, in the middle of arguably the biggest domestic crisis of his presidency, it’s a waste of his time to have a conversation with the head of British Petroleum?
Why is it suddenly not a waste of time? More importantly, why are we always having to ask these questions?
Houston, we have a problem.
Barack Obama doesn’t act- all he does is react.
When the oil spill first occurred, Obama was advised of the severity of the problem and he did nothing and said nothing. Three days went by before Obama even released a statement and ten passed before he spoke of the spill.
Whispers began to circulate about the disaster and Obama’s apparently obliviousness to it:
April 29: Gulf oil spill: President Obama is now in a sticky situation politically
There’s a dark cloud stretching across the Gulf of Mexico that may have already made its way to Washington, D.C. — politically.
Then, only after the fingerpointing began, Obama decided to visit the Gulf, 12 days after the explosion. He made the trip consequent to the political pressures that were building. He did not act. He reacted.
Then criticism began to mount that Obama wasn’t angry enough. When it got to simmering, Obama finally decided it was time to show some angry.
After being briefed this morning by members of his Cabinet on the latest on the Gulf oil spill, President Obama will make remarks to reporters in which he expresses his “anger and frustration.”
Then it was time to make faces.
It took an exhortation from Spike Lee to get Obama moving:
(CNN) — In the weeks since an oil rig exploded and later sank into the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama has dealt with the tragedy with his signature cool, calm and collected approach.
But with the oil still gushing in what is now the worst spill in U.S. history and the environmental devastation coming ashore, the president is becoming a target of the anger that was originally directed only at BP.
“One time, go off!” director Spike Lee urged on CNN’s “AC 360°.” “If there’s any one time to go off, this is it, because this is a disaster.”
And Obama complied:
“Plug the damn hole,” he told the meeting. “Just get it done.”
Apparently feeling the need to “go street” Obama put a punctuation point on his anger, he took the Presidency of United States into the gutter:
“And I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar; we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick,” he added.
He wants to talk to these folks because they have the best answers, except that he won’t talk to one who might have the best answers- the head of BP.
But that was, like, so yesterday. As more and more voiced disbelief that Obama would avoid meeting with the head of BP, word came from the White House that the head of BP was summoned for a meeting.
Reacting. Not acting.
And we’re far from done. As Mike and Mata have pointed out, there are potential aids- possibly significant- to help clean the Gulf of the spilled oil, but none of them are being used, and no one is explaining why.
This is Obama’s job and he’s not getting it done. How is it we can find these possible solutions and they cannot or will not? Could it really be that Obama values protection of unions over the environment? Could it be that he wants this spill to go horribly wrong that he can use it as a tool to cram Crap and Trade down our throats? Or is he simply incompetent and unable to lead?
In both instances an exaggerated deference to process bordering on passivity risks creating an impression that the White House is running behind critical domestic events and, worse, detached — even indifferent — to the human toll of inaction.
Obama has found the gumption to pro-act on some things:
In the nearly eight weeks that the ancient oil has been escaping its subterranean imprisonment, Obama has found….
…time for a couple mini-vacations with golf, a dose of party fundraisers, healthcare town halls, TV interviews, a high school graduation, a festive White House lawn picnic with members of Congress, a Paul McCartney music hoedown, an ABC July 4th TV taping and a session with a key Palestinian leader.
This is the 3 AM call and Obama is not answering. It is an alarming realization that if faced with a world-threatening crisis, Obama would be paralyzed. He seems unable to make decisions until there is sufficient political pressure placed upon him. This is not leadership. It is followership.
It’s dangerous.
For the good of the country Barack Obama should resign.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
IF only…. Barry = epic fail. This is what ( watch out… blatant racist teapartier statement) affirmative action + Political correctness + leftist media and ignorant masses who vote and some voter fraud thrown in.
Machine politics taken to the foreseeable, but up to now, improbable conclusion. There are plenty of parables of history and old stories written that completely lay bare what we’re witnessing. May we survive this completely adolescent administration and once out of power, may the country truly think this over and never again allow the leftists and socialists and PC crowd power in politics.
the question that comes to mind is: how come the WHITEHOUSE is silent,are they harrassed and scare by bullies for what could happen to theirs familys, it’s like an homogene groups of not humans but robots without feeling or courage to come out of the circle and take a stand; that would trigger the others concern to do their job, like FBI or independents powers,
question. why do people believe him to be a great orator? Has the author of this post ever heard him speak without the aid of a teleprompter? He can barely put two words together. I guess that goes in with the same question I have why 78%+ of the Jewish people voted for him when it was well known before the election he was pro-palestinian.
disenchated: hi, that is quite a legitimate question, sound like the jewish comites who gave their okays to RAULF IMAN to build. bye 🙄
So then Joe Biden will be president? 😯
This guy has set the bar so low for the office of POTUS that I cannot get my head around it. One of the saddest things is his claim of the post-racial president, yet he has set race relations (not just between black and white, but all races in my opinion) back 50 years and he has not even gotten started.
The cultural divide grows wider every day. Choices are being made to follow the group that would like to ignore morals, ethics and established decorum (ie., CBO)
The fate of this country rides on which point of view prevails and which one our people choose to espouse. I do not feel hopeful about the future of this country.
Has anyone seen this June 21, 2010 edition of The Weekly Standard?
Link did not work.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/friends-high-places
“Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, now teaches English at Western Kentucky University says, Hawaii elections clerk: Obama not born here. He is the official who oversaw ballots in 2008 race says hospital birth certificate (of Barack Obama, Jr.) non-existent.” This from WND,
And ….
The Coming Resignation of Barack Obama (by Peter Ferrara), American Spectator:
” Months ago, I predicted in this column that President Obama would so discredit himself in office that he wouldn’t even be on the ballot in 2012, let alone have a prayer of being reelected. Like President Johnson in 1968, who had won a much bigger victory four years previously than Obama did in 2008, President Obama will be so politically defunct by 2012 that he won’t even try to run for reelection.
I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it that far. I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012. Like my previous prediction, that is based not just on where we are now, but where we are going under his misleadership. ”

OBAMA should resign NOW. Investigations will also show that he is the creep behind the Sestak and Romanoff illegal activities on his part; felonies to be certain.
Obama’s administration, in no uncertain terms, can be described functionally as the COCKROACH gang — doing their creepy, dirty work and trying to hide when the lights come on. Well, hell help them; the American people together with those participating in the TEA PARTIES are the FLUSH-’em-out brigade — get Obama and his socialists OUT NOW!
I don’t know. Meeting with the BP CEO would make sense if the guy actually knew where the off switch is and is just refusing to tell us. But like most corporation CEOs, the guy is no expert. He doesn’t have dirty fingernails, if you know what I mean….
He’s not here to lead, he is here to rule and in that he is doing just fine. He’s changed law, without a day in court, ripped off entire segments of our business and personal lives, set up a system that will cripple our nation right up until we find ourselves attacked again, but this time unable to react and defend ourselves.
No, he is doing just what he was SENT here to do.
Read the book.
We may not have the luxury of having him follow the law in 2012 or God forbid in 2016 when he is supposed to leave.
What you are seeing is the final victory of the sixties revolution. As I have said before, Beck got this part wrong. They won. They won back then, in the seventies, not so much in the eighties but in the nineties and now in 2010.
Grid yourself. It will only get more interesting, as in the Chinese proverb way.
What a disgrace our dear reader is … the epitome of incompetence…
Sucking it up with a straw, when tanker skimmers were offered and turned down because they didn’t have the right flag or a union crew.
Look for the union label, if you find it, put it back on the shelf.
I got this lead from a poster. You all should visit and watch the clip. He said Obama reminds him of Benzini Napaloni from Chaplin “The Great Dictator”.
http://truthandcommonsense.com/2010/06/12/paul-in-houston-gives-us-another-possible-insight-into-obamas-personality-benzini-napaloni/
Watch the clip all the way through and you can see Obama’s great negotiating skills!
@ DrJohn,
“It is an alarming realization that if faced with a world-threatening crisis, Obama would be paralyzed.”
America made a drastic mistake, and you have nailed the principal reason why.
He is a fraud who got lucky. I believe he already knows that he won’t run again. I also suspect that he now looks at his life post WH, and without hassle, he see himself heading into the sunset making millions from those clueless, sycophantic souls who will continue to support him.
His narcissistic character will take the easy road out, having flogged an overwhelming debt on the country. His minions will always worship him for the healthcare bill. Clinton is in the wings, ready to take a run at the position of POTUS.
On BP:
Rather than assault the company as a whole, he should have given specific directives on both the clean up, and on the compensation of those affected.
I would have demanded a Daily report of the capital (financial and hardware) expenditures by both BP and the local governments around the spill.
I would have assigned one senior executive in charge of the whole operation (with White House clout) to whom all parties including BP’s CEO would report regularly, and I would have called in the CEOs of all major oil companies to apply all their resources to the challenge.
etc., etc., Unfortunately, Obama is completely out of his depth, and doesn’t even know what to ask a CEO.
BP’s CEO is also a complete buffoon. The BP Board of Directors should be out head hunting. He’s also mishandled this whole mess. First thing he should have done was make 11 phone calls to 11 families.
JAMES RAIDER: you ‘r right and the fact that thoses famillies where not acknowledge, must have very hard to take. thank’s. bye
If everything was as it should be, we’d be in Heaven. So, don’t “should” on yourself too much…
Thee Won shouldn’t ever have been born, methinks. But since he was, and came here to rule in a very inexorable way, and won’t do what he should, we have a different route to follow. One where there isn’t an expectation that he will do anything he should (as a moral obligation), only the things that follow his own “shoulds” of confusion and destruction.
James Raider, excellent post my friend; although, I think he will be scheming as long as he can keep his approval in the 40’s. He has over two years to pull a bunny out of the hat, but so far he has demonstrated an inability to lead a squad of crossing guards.
We just had a good old fashioned earth quake, here in the desert. It was the biggest one I’ve ever felt. Maybe it was Obama’s approval ratings and his ego falling out the back of his trousers.
Skookum, if you are in the Borrego desert it was 4.4.

I have always wondered why people think he’s a great orator, or really bright, or even a nice guy. I have never seen any evidence of that. They one thing I may have to concede is good campaigner, he did win the presidency after all, but if the press had covered him, it’s unlikely that would have happened. None of that means he couldn’t be a good president, but he just isn’t. He has no ability in anything and we’re all being hurt badly by this. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress could impeach but they won’t. Congress could refuse to go along with his crackpot schemes, but they won’t. Even voters who realize how bad he is won’t vote against all this because that would mean those horrible Republicans would be in charge. I don’t think I’ve ever been more discouraged about the future of this country.
@ James Raider
Whats going to be interesting is when the Head of BP tells Bambi to take a flying F*ck…
The Precedent (even though he will not admit it) it still bound by law, and the law is on BPs side in this. They are only liable for $75 million in economic damages, and clean up costs…. and any law passed after to get money from BP, would be either an Ex Post Facto law, or a Bill of Attainder… both of which are Unconstitutional.
The head of BP being “summoned” to the WhiteHouse? I’d ask the President if he has a Warrant… if not, he is not SUMMONED…
Heck, thinking on it… KINGS summon people to their prescense… this is a very arrogant statement, and will not sit well with American Corporations.
@Patter: What a disappointment, I’ve been through better ones than that. I thought it was going to throw my computer off the table, Oh well… Here in the Imperial, we look for the hottest news stories, even if we need to dress them up a little. 😯
John: I am with you. He’s a one trick pony. The same inflection and lilting voice as if he’s bringing the tablets down the mountain. I’ve heard enough of this fraud.
“They are only liable for $75 million in economic damages, and clean up costs…”
So who should take the financial hit instead, and try to keep on smiling? All of the folks along the Gulf Coast who will be utterly ruined by the disaster, or already beleaguered American taxpayers?
It seems to come down to that.
@ Skook,
“He has over two years to pull a bunny out of the hat, but so far he has demonstrated an inability to lead a squad of crossing guards.”
I still find myself surprised, though I’m not at all sure why any longer, that the MSM continues to give him a complete pass on the very significant and very serious mistakes he has made.
From foreign affairs to national policy the list of screw-ups is becoming embarrassing, but alas, apparently not embarrassing enough to Obama, or to people like Wolf at CNN who goes weekend “family” hopping into Joe Biden’s back yard lawn party like an idiotic bunny. He must have been working on an inside “scoop” . . . surely.
A major blunder that will reverberate louder in the 2-3 years was his Blunder On Russia. Internationally, this one could have horrendous ramifications.
@ Creg,
This is one that I believe BP will foot the bill on, well beyond the mandated amount. They will be forced to do so for PR reasons. They cannot afford the financial assault they would incur if they tossed the American consumer under a bus. They don’t have the luxury of a blathering sycophantic press, . . . that’s reserved for would-be preachers acting as politicians.
The BP Board and their CEO have also bungled up the process of bringing all possible resources to bear on the problem, particularly the Clean-up. I think you can bet that they’ll open the check book. They’ll be slower than ketchup, but they’ll do it.
@ Romeo13,
That is a really good observation that evidently the MSM didn’t pick up.
The arrogance is wonderfully humorous, and as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz “the genius” of it, but the fact that it is reported by the MSM without even subtle sarcasm, or a very loud, laughing, soundtrack, is, . . . well, hang on, . . . I need to give my head a shake.
It’s one thing to be supremely arrogant when you have extreme intellectual talents that are capable of pushing the envelope of critical thinking to bring solutions significant to mankind, . . . it’s another thing to be supremely arrogant when you are barely intellectually competent, when you have an uninquisitive mind, and when you’ve never accomplished anything that anyone can proudly point to.
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency .It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
***************************************************************
I have received this by email from about a half dozen folks today. Some back in the States and from some that are Deployed or stationed overseas. This appears to state their concerns.
How did America shoot itself in the foot so foolishly and why? How did a guy with a relatively blank resume gather the support necessary to become the elected leader of one of the formerly most powerful, wealthy and influential Nations on the planet? The confederacy of fools did it.
Your friends, neighbors, co-workers and a few of your family members are guilty of electing the most unqualified President ever. The guy with no executive or governing experience with no visible paper trail on his education or how he paid for it. He, in his limited time in a State Legislature and the US Senate, has authored no legislation, has written or had written two autobiographies, thought that there are 57 States, is less an American and more a citizen of the world and does not consider US Sovereignty to matter much. He most likely values his citizenship less than You or I do. He could never have been a serious student of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers or other documents.
The confederacy of fools are the enemy. This guy is merely the temporary resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and has no real power IF the American voters throw his minions in Congress out in November and tie his hands. The Republic can be restored only if the confederacy of fools can be defeated. The “Obamas” of the world are a dime a dozen. The American Voter needs to choose more wisely.
OT, you hit that one out of the park!
I take issue with the author. BO is not a great orator. Hardly. He has a rythmic speaking pattern laced with umms. He has no emotion. No rally cry. Just words. Even when he says he wants an ass to kick it seems so empty. Just….words.
The man is not trying to be president. He is living as the annointed one who is carrying the torch for all those who feel socialism is at the cusp. He loaths this job. He did not think this job carried responsibility. Kind Barrack is shielded from reality…like he always has been.
I keep waiting for passion of what he believes to show up. But he can’t let it out cause he would be soundly rejected by the masses. So he lives in double speak and he hates it. He is the annointed one…he should not have to still parce his words. It drives him nuts.
Old trooper
Can I use your reference with credit to you at my website? I’ll try and do some research on the quote
It took decades for the left to infiltrate our school systems and write the text according to Leftist indoctrination techniques. The same techniques of the domestic terrorist and murderer William Ayers who is still busy writing texts and Obama type fictions. It will take decades to remodel the Socialist indoctrination of the school system. There are at least two generations who have people who are lost forever in the pointless forest of Socialism, all we can do is reason with those whose brains still function and write the rest of them off as useless.
In this respect, Obama serves a useful purpose: he is a bigger than life illustration of the corruption and utter failure of Socialism.
archer52, I don’t own the copyright on any quotation that you would want to see in print and a few that are not fit for children or mixed company. Feel free to use it. It would be better if the Czech Citizen could be credited.
I do feel that it is valuable enough to pass around and post here or on your blog. As many Americans as possible need to bump into it and consider the thought and observations contained in the message.
Skookum, Amen. Two generations drank from the poisoned well and they may not be worth saving but the Republic truly is.
OT, you have many young people around you, who saw through the Socialist manure or else they had excellent guidance at home, probably the guidance helped with the clarity of vision. These are the leaders of tomorrow, the standard bearers of the Republic, who will preserve Liberty and Freedom while we live out the rest of our lives. I don’t know where they came from, because, I don’t meet that many; but thank G-d we have them. G-d Bless our troops over there!
Don’t we all want to see a follow-up interview with the woman (a proud product of the educational system) who thought Obama was going to pay her mortgage for her?
Skookum, I refer to them as America’s Second Greatest Generation and I am damned proud of them.
JR, if I remember correctly, (memory becomes more dubious with each passing year), Obama was going to put gas in her car: now I’m not sure whether he was actually inserting the nozzle and pumping, but I’ll bet she feels like she already had the nozzle by now, where the sun don’t shine. 🙄
Obama is destroying the environment to try and save it with bullshit green jobs to make NBC, and GE money.
OT, Amen!
OT, when our troops first started going overseas, I was working around Oceanside and walking out of a diner, when a young Marine yelled out, “Hey, Alberta”. I had a Canadian truck at the time. It turned out he was from Alberta and joined the Marines after 9/11 because he thought it was the thing to do. He was shipping out the next day and he wanted to talk to a Canadian and I was about the best he could do at the time. He was nervous about the war, who wouldn’t be? We had a great conversation for a half hour or so, and he thanked me profusely for taking time out to talk to him; but I had to pull him up short, I told him, “I am the one who is thankful, thankful for young men like you who give me confidence that we can meet this enemy and kill him. I want to thank you for reaffirming my faith in young people and in my two countries.” We both left a little teary eyed, I’m not ashamed to say.
In follow-up to Obama’s Blunder On Russia / Iran, . . . the news today out of Saudi Arabia is that they’ve decided to give Israel a pass in a strike on Iran . . . and will “allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.”
The fact that the Arab world isn’t friendly with Iran isn’t new. What is new is that given the stance of the current W.H. they are prepared to passively stand by to allow Israel to defend itself. This is not good news.
The missed opportunities that this W.H. has been responsible for, are becoming more and more disconcerting by the day.
JR, you say that this isn’t good news; does anyone currently consider us more than an insignificant player in the international chess game of statesmanship? Your comment reflects our lost opportunities, but isn’t it good news that SA is providing the air space? Since no one considers us to be a relevant player on the international stage, isn’t it good that the Middle East realizes Iran is a rogue state and unlikely to stop with the planned destruction of Israel.
Please elaborate, I realize the world considers Obama to be a nitwit and we have lost our standing; but perhaps the world can function without strong US leadership, an Obama concept.
Skookum, the afternoon of 9.11.01 I was due to sign my retirement papers. I requested that my retirement be withdrawn at Ft. Drum, NY and received orders to report to Ft. Benning. My group was preparing 10th Mountain Division Troopers for Ranger School and as I was leaving I was asked by some of them if they would see me again since I was staying on in the Army. I told them that they most likely would.
Months later after after we jumped into Kandahar and kicked in the door, our relief arrived at the airfield. I shook hands with about a dozen of those 10th Mountain Troopers as they got off the plane. It was like running into long lost Family and it was a grand feeling. Their first armed conflict and just another deployment for me but that is how it went down. The Army turns youngins into Soldiers and a War turns Soldiers into Men in the blink of an eye. That experience builds Patriots and Veterans if they survive. I saw a few of them lately on the current deployment and was shown photos of Wives and Children that are waiting at home but no complaints. Just a lot of pride, determination and comradeship. For some of them it was their third deployment or fourth.
America’s Second Greatest Generation with their work cut out for them. They are Leaders of Men now and experienced in their trade but I remember them as apprentices and admire their evolution. I just hope that America does not quit on them because I know that they will never quit on America.
An interesting twist to this story and the comments. The Criminal in Chief is not going to meet with the CEO of BP who is actually responsible for the cleanup. He is going to meet with the chairman of the board.
This man cares about the gulf coast like my cat cares whether the squirrel playing on the fence in the back yard is eating right.
His job is to maximize profits for his shareholders.
This is on the same level as sending Holder and/or Napolitano to the coast to oversee the cleanup.
Neither oil cleanup, nor the ocean is their job or their field of (what passes for) expertise. They are lawyers, both of them. the only thing thy could do is sue or try to press charges against…. the oil?
It gives us insight into the liberal mindset. Terrorism is a legal problem. Just pass a law and prosecute them after they get caught. If oil spills, sue the spiller and stop all other drilling.
The spill, well get someone to clean it up and bill the driller. How do we clean it up? Form a commission of experts and file a lawsuit for not cleaning it up fast enough.
The liberal mind is not geared to producing anything or develop techniques to create or improve, only toward controlling and requiring other people to meet their goals.
OT, I consider it an honor to read about you and your crew.
OLD TROOPER: It’s good for AMERICA to have you around with such good advices; THAT could wake up the fools who are still clingning to their idols: THE CZECK REPUBLIC are reading AMERICA, and like the whole FREE WORLD are doubting the government way of not reacting to falsehood from leadership. thank you and all the braves who are doing such difficult tasks to rid a vulnerable nation of their tormenters who are being protected and supply by hatefull other nations,that resent freedom. bye
SKOOKUM: that earthquake was quite strong, you where right in it’s core: good comments as always . bye
Old Trooper’s quotation is spot on.
In the former conservative East Bay of No.Cal, there is still a big following for O. I don’t sense a stampede to desert him.
I say leave the guy in there to show us his ‘gifts’. I think that the Alcohols Anonymous folks have it correct, we need to hit bottom before there is real change. Otherwise this experiment in social restructuring will be a goal or dream for progressives. Mr. Obama needs to be viewed with equal or greater disdain as President Bush, otherwise he will be on the sidelines taking his potshots.
@Skook, Bees is right, you were probably in the right position to feel it strongly, and a few miles away it wouldn’t have been surprising.
The education problem is too real. One thing going for every side now is the Internet and generally, the fast transmission of information. This literal change of pace has left many in the dust as others take advantage. Remember, evil psychologists (not me, the other ones) have long ago determined what cues make a person pay attention, what stimuli are memorable, etc. and made the advertising world what it is today, a powerful but overlooked influence. But what one side can do, so can the other. I thought the conservatives would never get over sniveling that the liberals were using Alinsky methods, and realize that they can use the same method. It isn’t the method that’s twisted, it obviously is very accurately described. It’s the ends that it’s used for which make a difference.
We can change opinion, don’t give up. We can improve education, Texas made a big start recently. If anyone has the stomach for the most small-minded aspiring politicians in the world, run for a school board. This is the traditional entry point and takes very few votes in most places, it’s entirely possible to do with footwork to work a relatively small group in a well-defined local. These are the guys that choose the books. These are the people that set hiring policy. They also get all the complaints and tend to take the PC way out because it is easiest, thus entrenching PC culture in the schools and training new politicians to be PC.
🙂 By reading your partisan attack on the current president, I could guess that it didn’t matter to you that G. W. B. was awol during his duty in the military, a drug addict, declared mission accomplished at the start of a worthless war in a third world nation over Exxon mobile profits. Committed war crimes and crimes against humanity that killed millions of people, Ran the country into the ground and doubled the national debt that has led to all the problems that have put us in the situation that we are in today. After reviewing your sight I have determined that you are a partisan hack and a pea brain.
