Recent Change We Have To Believe In

Recent Change We Have To Believe In

Candidate Barack Hussein Obama’s ambiguous, slick campaign promise of “Change We Can Believe In” had as much substance as George W. Bush’s “Compassionate Conservatism,” Bill Clinton’s “Putting People First,” and Al Gore’s “Prosperity and Progress.”

Of course, slogans are just slogans. Precious little that was compassionate or conservative resulted from Bush’s Democrat-light economic policies, the only people Clinton ever put first were Monica and his other girlfriends, and Gore fortunately never got a chance to strut his version of progress to the American people.

To his credit, Obama has brought change to Washington, more and more radical change than all but his most ardent supporters could have anticipated. Still, he would have been more honest had he campaigned on his socialistic slip of the lip made to Joe the Plumber. He would not have won with the slogan ”Share the Wealth!” but he would have shown some integrity.

Many changes are in progess, though. Reports that food stamp participation on his watch has balooned by 50% certainly prove he is fulfilling that pledge to his constituency.

Obamian foreign policy changes have dominated the news of late principally with regard to Libya where we are now engaged in our third Mideast war which is not really a war but what the White House in a marvel of linguistic distortion terms “a kinetic military action" and not a war.

One more change.

Another dubious but noteworthy change is apparent in America’s Afghanistan real war: Our military has lost 858 soldiers or 60.13 of the total fatalities there since Obama took office twenty six months ago: http://bit.ly/eCLfTG

Maybe he’s actually trying to win that war? Don’t bet on it. Keep in mind, this is Obama.

Something and someone else to keep in mind in this brief look at recent changes in D.C. is the conversion of the Department of Justice under Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder into an agency dedicated and committed to getting even for the long-dead evil of slavery. . .

THE INAUGURATION PART IV: What You Won’t Read and See on the MSM

Before we’re all caught up in the heady thrill–and propaganda–of the inauguration and the new administration, some perspective is in order. I’ve seen and read articles that are so effusive over Obama and this Age of Change that I was beginning to wonder if I watched a different inauguration and whether all I know about the true Obama and his Obamaniacs was misconstrued.

Then I regained my senses and realize it is not. (See the 50 or 60 previous articles on him on this site.) I’ve seen the man–and he is just a mortal man, contrary to widely reported information–a man extolled for his countless virtues, his elegance, his unflappable demeanor, even for his handwriting skills by Wolf Blitzer.

However, behind the facade, behind that screen, is simply a man, a flawed man like all of us, and his true skills or lack thereof will be seen even on the world stage soon enough. As of now, barely 24 hours into his reign, he can only be judged by his administrative designations and by his executive orders which suggest he has not fully thought through his decisions, (Gitmo), but will follow through on his planned policies to make free and unfettered abortion the law of the land: http://www.lifenews.com/nat4559.html.

Considering the limitations imposed by a paltry day as opposed to the lengthy four which lie ahead, all we have with which to gain a measure of Obama, (aside from his recorded history, of course), is his friends and his supporters. If in any way we are known by the friends we keep, Obama’s friends give cause for trepidation.

One group of friends, (May we call them FOB for Friends of Barack?), was gathered on the Washington Mall as still-President George W. Bush arrived at the inauguration on Tuesday. I would hope that others in the horde of millions who attended the event were not nearly as disgracefully disrespectful as this contingent: http://www.wjno.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=244038&article=4878923.

In the event that video is mysteriously removed from the website of WJNO.com, it depicts a group of blacks hooting, howling, and chanting derisively at Bush. Another video also captured the former president’s helicopter departure: http://www.mydd.com/story/2009/1/21/12149/1143.

But, okay, one or two malcontented groups do not an audience make. Then again, those are simply the only groups who have made it to the Big Time.

Another malcontent, ...
