Obama and Reality: When Worlds Collide
by Ian Mosley
An op-ed from the Australian Times makes some very interesting comments on what appears to be America’s impending experiment with the joys of black rule. Washington correspondent Geoff Elliott writes in a recent article:
“It was early 1994 when Nelson Mandela gave a speech in a slum outside Cape Town and spoke in grand terms of a new beginning and how when he was elected president every household would have a washing machine. People took him literally. A few months later he became South Africa’s first black president. That’s when clerks in department stores in Cape Town had to turn people away demanding their free washer and dryer. Having spent some time as a reporter in South Africa watching the Mandela presidency I was reminded of that story this week when I traveled with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on the campaign trail.”
This is a fascinating point. You see, although no one seems to have noticed it yet, there is nothing to Obama. When he gets up and bloviates for the cameras and all the silly white girls scream and swoon like he was the fifth Beatle, he almost never says anything of any substance. The last time young white girls swooned and obsessed over a black; it was Michael Jackson, and millions of fans were in store for a rude awakening.
Obama’s voting record during his brief time in the Senate has earned him the rating of the most liberal (read neo-Marxist) out of the 100 Senators, to the left of Ted Kennedy, Charlie Schumer and Hillary Clinton. But there’s not even much of that; he simply hasn’t been in the Senate that long. Nobody really knows what Obama would do if elected.
Elliott goes on: “How does a cult figure, in the eyes of some something akin to a messiah, make the transition to a political frontrunner - president even - where disappointment will soon crush what seemed to be a journey to a promised land? Looking into the faces of a more than 16,000-strong crowd in a basketball stadium in Hartford, Connecticut this week, the Mandela magic I’d seen before was there too. Black and white, and the youth; they appeared in a state close to rapture watching Obama speak. Here and there one could see women crying and the some men wiping away tears too.”
What are these crying, weeping and swooning idiots going to do when he gets elected and we turn out to have put a Marion Barry in the Oval Office? What if he turns into a Robert Mugabe or an Idi Amin?
Elliott observes “In the US today there are echoes of that Rainbow Revolution. Through the media and on the streets people are getting a bit giddy over Obama. In this man they are projecting a new course - one that he says he will lead - where the US buries the culture wars, charts a new course in bipartisan politics and heralds a new dawn for America.”
In other words, a complete liberal victory forever. That is the unspoken promise, although Obama or whoever is handling him is too smart to say so openly.
Elliott goes on: “One would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by Obama on the stump. It’s not so much by what he says but it’s the way the crowds respond to his words. When 16,000 people, without prompting, start shouting some of his keynote phrases as he delivers them, you know something special is going on. The atmosphere at his events is such that one wonders if Obama is about to walk out with a basket with some loaves and fishes to feed the thousands. And therein lays the danger for Obama. The Obama shuttle has made it into orbit but at some point he’s going to have to land this thing back on Earth.”
You have to kind of read the tea leaves to figure out what Obama would actually do if given power, but we can presumably look forward to:
*A complete pullout in Iraq, which is a good idea, but can we trust Obama to do it? During one debate Hillary, Edwards and Obama were each asked if they would promise on national TV to pull out of Iraq in four years. Each said “No.” Despite this, Obama reportedly has been saying he’ll try to pull the troops out in one year. Can’t he make up his mind? Or is Obama a faux anti-war candidate, pandering to the sizeable anti-war crowd just so he could defeat the pro-war hawks Hillary and McCain?
*Complete gun control. There has been a bizarre series of multiple shootings in recent months. Could this be a CIA mind control effort to generate paranoia about guns to pave the way for gun control? Another possibility is that some of these new drugs like Zoloft may cause a violent outburst when people stop taking them. Whatever the cause, liberals always blame the gun, not the criminal or psycho.
*Obama will almost certainly grant complete amnesty to illegal aliens and simply throw open the borders. After all, his African father is a Third World immigrant. He’s not about to blame Third Worlders for most of the problems in America today.
*Complete cradle to grave socialist nanny state with oodles of free goodies. Never mind the fact that this is insanely expensive. That our currency is already becoming worthless. That Bush has run a nine-trillion dollar debt that should put the brakes on federal spending and signal that we need a SMALLER government, not bigger.
*British-style CCTV cameras watching Americans’ every move. This will be introduced as a “crime-fighting” measure. After all, Americans put up with Bush’s warrantless wiretaps.
*Financial and political corruption on a massive scale not yet seen in America. Third World president = Third World corruption.
*Anyone with a black or brown skin automatically goes to the head of the line for everything, even more so than now.
