You may have noticed that the little boy gave a press conference recently in Turkey that most people found strange, bizarre, troubling, disconnected and otherworldly. And he has been following up with a continuous stream of snark, insults and humorless condescension. If you were even moderately observant you would have to conclude that the president is suffering from some sort of mental illness that will not allow him to recognize reality. And indeed, many people have concluded that Obama is in fact mentally ill.
No normal person who witnessed the events in Paris over the weekend could be so cold and unfeeling towards the victims of such a cruel attack. No normal person would immediately look for ways to blame others for his own failures in the Middle East. No normal person would look to turn this event to his own political advantage. But our boy president had a little tantrum in which he insisted that nothing much was going to change and that Republicans are to blame for all the problems in the world that Obama is refusing to deal with. (And that the press is finally questioning him about)
The situation is astounding. Never before in my lifetime can I recall a president who was so critical, so histrionic and so hostile to his own country. But that’s what we have. And there is no reason at this point to think that Obama or the people in his administration are going to give in and face reality. No my friends, they are going to run out the clock on their grand vision to “fundamentally transform America” into their stinking socialist third-world-hell-hole. The only question for us is what do we do for the next year until we can kick the bastards out and get some adults elected who will put the brakes on and change the direction of the country. And I have to admit, that’s a big freaking question.
There is some good news though. First off it looks like people are finally starting to get it. Not just conservatives. No, I think most of us who indentify as conservatives have known very early on just who and what Obama is. But this attack in Paris and the sudden unleashing of ISIS has had the effect of waking up a large number of regular people, both in Europe and also here in the US. That is good news because you cannot change the direction you are going in if you aren’t paying attention. Obama’s strange and bizarre behavior is being noticed by people who up till now thought that he was a normal, if liberal, president.
In the recent elections we saw that Democrats lost in almost every race they were in. And that was before the attacks in Paris and elsewhere. Now we see Obama’s cold indifference to the death and destruction and even liberals are noticing that there is a problem. On Rush’s show he mentioned that even a liberal publication such as Mother Jones is effectively saying to Democrats, “don’t screw it up by revealing your true self; just lie a bit and fool the rubes and we’ll be OK.”
At the same time we have candidates like Trump, Cruz and others willing to be more blunt and straightforward than we have seen in some time. And the media seems to suddenly be more interested in asking real questions of our president than in the past. Reporters asking Obama about the situation at the press conference did not back down like they have in the past. Instead they acted like real journalists. And Obama did not like it one little bit. He was annoyed, petulant and irritated. That’s a dead giveaway he did not expect the situation that we are in. Nor does he have any plan on how to deal with it. But you already knew that.
The coming year will be difficult. Obama is working hard to bring in thousands of refugee-terrorists and he is probably going to succeed at least partially. Combine that with his refusal to take American security seriously and we will almost certainly have terrorist attacks here in the US like those in Paris. Many experts expect it and Obama will do nothing as long as he is in office. So be prepared for a rough year.
A weak economy will be bad for everyone’s situation. If you have a job you will be lucky to keep it. If you are looking for work, things will be even tougher than they are already. No one will want to take risks. If you have money saved then you will be better off. Spend wisely and prudently; don’t go overboard if you can help it. Watch you pennies and clip coupons. The economy could take a hit if we are attacked. Do what you can to protect yourself. Learn to defend yourself if you can. Take your own security seriously. And keep you powder dry. But don’t despair. We are going to win in the long run. People are waking up, and that’s exactly what’s needed.
