If the description "educated idiot" was entered in the dictionary, it would be accompanied by the photograph of Barack Obama. His foreign policy is obvious failure to everyone, yet the president continues to insist on an "outstretched hand" to enemies who would spurn his overtures and pour contempt him and the United States. Obama's domestic agenda is rejected by majorities on the American people. Yet with a confidence unique to the strutting egoist, Mr. Obama continues to forge ahead, sufficiently marinated in his megalomania to believe that the American people and foreign leaders will be persuaded if only he gives one more speech or makes one more television appearance. The most overexposed president in history believes (!) that the failure of others to embrace his plans relate to a failure to communicate rather than genuine disagreement. Being a socialist ideologue, the president inhabits a world of wish fulfillment and make believe, where all will be well if only the people consent to sacrifice their liberty and future to the tender control of Barack Obama and his administration of uber-leftist czars and other quacks. Barack Obama has reached the apex of arrogance and ignorance, utterly oblivious to the wreck his policies have made and are making of American foreign policy, our economy, and our future.
I credit Obama with having convictions. Unfortunately, all of his convictions are antithetical to those held by most Americans. Obama really believes his own propaganda. In his view, all American history before his election should be classified as B.O. (Before Obama) much as world history is divided by the birth of Christ. All history B.O. is viewed as revealing the United States as an imperialist power reeking death and destruction to a innocent world. Hence the president's apology tour(s). As I've written many times, Obama despises the history and traditions of the country he was elected to lead. Therefore, as a matter of duty, Obama desires to remake the country in an image he and the socialist Congressional Democrat leadership find attractive. Accomplishing this objective requires the destruction of the society that existed B.O.. Hence, a health care "reform" plan that will destroy the best health care system in the world. Hence, economic policies which must lead to national bankruptcy. Once things are bad enough, Obama and his socialist supporters believe the American people, left bankrupt and defenseless will embrace the leftist socialist-communism agenda so dear to the hearts of the modern Democrat party.
Insofar as attitude is concerned, very little separates Obama from the Islamic jihadist in their view of America. He is as great a threat to everything Americans hold dear, to our freedom, or values, or very lives, as any terrorist.
Commentators have wondered if Obama will tack to the center if presented with electoral reversals. Not a chance. True believers, ideologues, do not modify their views in face of opposition; they become more fanatical, more fervent in seeking to obtain their objectives. There is no hope for compromise or laying aside of partisanship while Obama is president. Either Obama and the leftist Democrats will succeed in remaking America into the latest socialist utopia, or conservatives will achieve enough electoral strength to force a stalemate.
