Watching this POTUS on any given day makes one yearn for an earlier time. Yesterday’s touchy-feely exposition with my Boston Red Sox, along with his self-righteous, gloating, and arrogant victory lap over the “Obamacare” enrollment numbers, demonstrate once again that this community organizer has no business being “the leader of the free world”.
The man who Democrats touted as academically and professionally head and shoulders above the rest, a political deity if you will, has made us the laughingstock of the world. Not only does he appear confused and scripted off teleprompter, but the president makes matters even worse when he starts snapping (#selfie’s) and getting all folksy for the camera. Nearly six years in, and he still doesn’t understand the national and international complexity of the office, nor does he grasp the perception of that office as seen through the eyes of “We the People” and the rest of the world.
One thing the self-proclaimed bringer of “hope and change” has mastered however, is the art of condescending demagoguery on a level unprecedented in American political history. President Obama’s namesake healthcare law has failed on nearly every level to do anything he promised it would. The enrollment numbers are so heavily skewed, they’re almost criminal as stated, with many industry analysts suggesting there are actually less than one million enrollees who were previously uninsured. On its face, that statistic alone would make the ACA an abysmal, unprecedented, and atrociously expensive failure. When taken in the context of higher premiums nationwide, higher deductibles, mass policy cancellations, and a public weary of all the lies and delays, it’s hard to watch a self-aggrandizing display such as that on display in the Rose-Garden yesterday. It was truly a national embarrassment.
When all is said and done in 2016, President Barack Hussein Obama will indeed have succeeded in “fundamentally transforming the United States of America”, and “We the People” will have learned a painful lesson that will haunt generations to come.
