What is interesting about the comments so far are the perspectives by which BO is being evaluated. It is quite obvious to even the most casual observer – that is, one who can look past the color of his skin – that he came into office with an clearly defined agenda.
The problem is that it is unlike any other agenda America has seen since its conception. Instead of a mantra of freedom, BO has pursued an agenda of justice.
In order for justice to be served – in its entirety – it must be done at the sacrifice of freedoms.
The freedoms that Americans enjoy are many among which can best be discribed as capitalism. It is an economic system that has enabled our country to be a world superpower from which there are many personal benefits, not only in this country but abroad as well.
BO is not interested in providing what is required to maximize our resources and that is freedom of opportunity. His agenda conflicts with that as he sees a world that must have equal outcomes instead(not for himself, of course, but those over whom he rules).
Very little of what he is about is about America, its well-being and its future. It is about him and him only. His values and faith are all relative. He will say one thing while doing another. His public appearances are scripted and embody basically the same message.
His message, however, will not stand the test of time. At this point the only thing we do not know is what will fail him first: his words or the economy.
My bet is they both go down together much like the captain on the Titanic. If we are given the opportunity, perhaps in a generation or two, we might be able to regain some semblance of our former prosperity. Perhaps by then, people will appreciate what was given to them in our Constitution and Bill of Rights and what happens when they are not adhered to.
