Obama's Tucson Speech

 

Setting the course for the 2012 election 

 

January 13, 2011    

 "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

 

Former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel

Greetings!

Yesterday, Barack Obama - recognizing an opportunity to jumpstart his run for the 2012 presidential election - returned to the form that mesmerized millions into worshipful adoration in 2008. They were there again, this time at the University of Arizona, clapping, cheering and swooning at every word and every phrase at what many described as more of a "pep rally" than a memorial.  Indeed it was a modern day 'coming out party', a recasting of the old magic into the new 2012 Obama re-election campaign.

The new Obama? 

 

With the backdrop of a memorial service in remembrance of those who were killed by a 22 year old deranged young man at a shopping mall just days earlier, Barack Obama did what he does best, spin an emotionally charged perception into a personal political triumph. 

Calling the political gathering at the mall a "quintessentially American scene" where Representative Giffords and her staff were. . .

"fulfilling a central tenet of the democracy envisioned by the founders - representatives of the people answering to their constituents, so as to carry their concerns to our nation's capitol." . . . 

 

it would appear that he had forgotten his snub of millions of American's who tried to do just that during the entire healthcare debate, to no avail. The fact is, he has not forgotten, and his rhetoric is as purposeful as before; the spinning of smooth words to win the hearts of the young and foolish who bought his line in 2008, and to play to his ideological friends. No matter how you cut it, after his display of political deafness, it doesn't wash with thinking and observant Americans. In fact, it comes across as pure deceit, hubris, and excessive pride, without regard for the truth.

 

This is not the new Obama, but the old Obama, the Pied Piper of empty words.

Obama's hypocrisy

 

Speaking of the senseless shootings, Obama said. . .

 

"it is part of our nature to demand explanations - to try to impose some order on the chaos, and make sense out of that which seems senseless"

 

Was this not our cry during the healthcare debate?  Did not we - and the Republicans who opposed this 2000 page monstrosity concocted behind closed doors by special interest groups - 'demand explanations', and seek to make 'sense out of that which seems senseless'? It certainly was!

 

Why, then, if Obama recognizes that this is truly a part of our nature to want national policy that will affect us all, to 'make sense', to be unchaotic rather than 'senseless', did he not recognize it for an entire year? Again, the fact is, if he is half as intelligent as people think he is, he did. . . and he didn't care!  It was far too important to him as the ideologue he denies he is, to force this upon us whether we liked it or not, whether we understood it or not. Obama is much more about him and his ideological agenda than it is about "government of, by, and for the people" which he mouthed in his speech.

 

This is the real Obama folks!  Not the one he wants you to think he is.  He is not a 'savior' nor 'messiah', but a deluded follower of Saul Alinsky and the ideological left in America.  His M.O. is 'whatever works' and his track record, compared to his rhetoric, proves it.


As the prophet Nathan said to King David who was hiding from his own sin regarding his adultery and subsequent murder of Bathsheba's husband, and deluding himself into thinking that he could get away with it before God, and his people, "Thou art the man!"

 

Mr. Obama is deluding himself, and the American people, and I pray we won't delude ourselves again in 2012!
