The caution just shows us that the desire of the leftist illuminati to actually “change’ things might not happen in ways we were promised.

Here is Gov (commerce secretary elect)Bill Richardson saying in Spanish that Obama is an "immigrant." (So he understands understands "immigrant" issues.) You've heard people say "do not listen to what Israelis or Palestinians say in English. Listen to what they say in Hebrew and Arabic. I wonder if the same rule applies here. Here is the Kenyan Ambassador saying that Obama is born in Kenya.

The issue here isn’t the conventionality, it is the lack of promises coming through. The “change” on the leftist illuminati agenda during campaigning… isn’t happening yet.

Obama reminds me of King Saul in the Bible. He too was chosen to be king, not because of any personal merits, but because of packaging and presentation. The suddenly-exalted Saul intuitively understood this, and started out by being humble, surrounding himself with older, wiser, more worthy counsellors. But soon the aura and immensity of the position wore off, and the audacious arrogance and narcissism kicked, as Saul started making disasterous decisions for Israel.

But there were prophets in those days too.

What Presidential color barrier? That’s like saying FDR broke the wheel-chair bound, smoker barrier. There was no “barrier.” Just a previous lack of a plausible, black candidate. Jessie plausible? No. Al? Please. What plausible, black presidential candidate has ever lost. Even Kennedy could point to Al Smith as proof of a barrier to Catholics.

If he is counting on laying low until 2012, then going through with his hopeandchange, that’s just kicking the nations problems down the road again, and a sure sign of a very poor leader.

I went ‘hmmmm’ when I saw Obama’s post-security-briefing press meeting. -He looked older.

Safe, boring – and yet the guy’s not even president yet. Yes, his administration is shaping up to reflect the Democratic status quo. I guess the question is whether you expect to see fireworks via people, or via policies. The latter will pan out only over time, as he ranks himself among some of the most activist liberal illuminati ever to see leadership in this country. But he can’t afford to risk too much, too soon: any wave in the economy could be linked to his election, were he to do so. He absolutely must start out cautious if he wants 2012 in the bag.

#19 – Just last night I came across an anecdote by way of Shelby Foote, about the time Lincoln met the man who claimed to be the first to suggest his nomination for President. Lincoln’s final words to him were, “I hope you will feel perfectly easy about having nominated me. Don’t be troubled about it. I forgive you.”

History has not taken the next four years off. I think he will be fine as long as he is not challenged. Warren G Harding could do that. When the challenge comes, God help us. I think we are in a real bear market for most of Obama’s term which should make his next campaign interesting. If the economy recovers better than I expect, he will be re-elected. History rules.
