Unfortunately for him, even with the colusion of the DPPM (MSM) people are starting to notice when he changes things. Take the stimulus. He and his disciples insisted that it HAD to be passed immediately because it would have an immediate effect on the economy and start saving jobs within weeks of its passing. Well, we know how that worked out – it fell flat on its face and accomplished NOTHING. So, now he says it was always planned that it would take effect gradually over a 2 year period and the DPPM (MSM) are dutifully parroting this idea. The only problem is that there are now millions of people unemployed who were employed when the package was passed and expected that it would save their jobs like the great Obamessiah said it would. They are all sitting there idle and saying to themselves and anyone else who will listen, “Wait a minute. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He said my job was going to be saved. And now he’s saying that he never said that? I heard him. I supported him because he said my job would be saved. I won’t make that mistake again.”

But I do think Obama’s smarts are all surface. The fact is, he has left himself no wriggle room here. He essentially gambled that the leftist BS he has marinated in for 30 years works anywhere outside of coffeeshops and faculty rooms, and it doesn’t. He has not prepared any fallback positions that preserve his credibility, and and he is so convinced of his own wonderfulness that he thinks a big national speech in March of 2009 has the same impact as one in October of 2009. After all, in the words of Han Solo… “Hey….. It’s me!” “I am so wonderful, how can they ever tire of me?”

It is not despite “hey, it’s me” that he is in trouble, it is because of it. That WILL work as long as he keeps genuinely pulling the rabbit out of the hat, over and over. Were that the case, the strategy you fear would work.

But he is glaringly turning out to be all hat and no rabbit.

(If my words make anyone complacent, please believe the exact opposite of what I say, and act accordingly. The left will NEVER stop pushing. Ever. So too must their opponents.)

While there WAS a genuine banking crises (curiuosly under-investigated then or now, BTW), the fact is, that crises was largely under control, Iraq AND the “war on Terror” was essentially won, foreign policy was stable and largely favorable, a unemployment had not kicked in ernest, and as for “global warming”, the less said, the better (literally).

As I have said elswhere, Obama has zero executive experience, and don’t think he has any knowledge of or care for American history, so all that he has are the leftist shibboleths of academia and Reverend Wright. That is where ALL of his “gut hunches” are going to come from. And thus those hunches will be catastrphically wrong, again and again and again.

Maybe, just maybe, if God still cares about the USA, and I hope he does, a clear message will be sent: Obama is EXACTLY what the academic/cultural/media left has dreamed about. He is their ideal, their end result.

And this is where it gets us. Are you listening, Generation Owe? You have been lied to… big time.
