Three significant
historical events have been eclipsed by Obama: 1) Jimmy Carter will no longer be
looked upon as the worst president in American history; 2) Richard Nixon and
Bill Clinton will no longer be recognized as the greatest liars in presidential
history; 3) Clinton's stain on Monica's dress, and what that did to the White
House in general and the office of the president specifically, will forever pale
in comparison to the stain and stench of Obama.
I need not spend much
time on the failure of Obama as president. His tenure has been a failure on
every measurable level. So much so, in fact, that some of the staunchest, most
respected liberal Democrats and Democratic supporters have not only openly
criticized him – some even more harshly than this essayist – but they have
called for him to step down.
Richard Nixon's words
"I am not a crook," punctuated with his involvement in Watergate, and Bill
Clinton's finger-wagging as he told one of the most pathetic lies in
presidential history, in the aftermath of Obama, will be viewed as mere
prevarications.
Mr. Nixon and Clinton
lied to save their backsides. Although, I would argue there are no plausible
explanations for doing what they did, I could entertain arguments pursuant to
understanding their rationales for lying. But in the case of Obama, he lies
because he is a liar. He doesn't only lie to cover his misdeeds – he lies to get
his way. He lies to belittle others and to make himself look presentable at
their expense. He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother, his father
and his wife. He lies and bullies to keep his background secret. His lying is
congenital and compounded by socio-psychological factors of his
life.
Never in my life,
inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political
leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even
by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic,
contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to
be elevated to sainthood.
As the stock markets
were crashing, taking with them the remaining life saving of untold tens of
thousands, Obama was hosting his own birthday celebration, which was an event of
epicurean splendidness. The shamelessness of the event was that it was not a
state dinner to welcome foreign dignitaries, nor was it to honor an American
accomplishment – it was to honor the Pharaoh, Barack Hussein Obama. The event's
sole purpose was for the Pharaoh to have his loyal subjects swill wine, indulge
in gluttony and behavior unfit to take place on the property of taxpayers, as
they suffer. It was of a magnitude comparable to that of Tyco CEO Dennis
Kozlowski's $2 million birthday extravaganza for its pure lack of respect for
the people.
Permit me to digress
momentarily. The U.S. Capitol and the White House were built with the intent of
bringing awe and respect to America and her people. They were also built with
the intent of being the greatest of equalizers. I can tell you, having
personally been to both, there is a moment of awe and humility associated with
being in the presence of the history of those buildings. They are to be honored
and inscribed into our national psyche, not treated as a Saturday night house
party at Chicago's Cabrini-Green.
The people of America
own that home Obama and his wife continue to debase with their pan-ghetto
behavior. It is clear that Obama and family view themselves as royalty, but
they're not. They are employees of "we the people," who are suffering because of
his failed policies. What message does this behavior send to those who today are
suffering as never before?
What message does it
send to all Americans who are struggling? Has anyone stopped to think what the
stock market downturn forebodes for those 80 million baby boomers who will be
retiring in the next period of years? Is there a snowball's chance in the Sahara
that every news program on the air would applaud this behavior if it were George
W. Bush? To that point, do you remember the media thrashing Bush took for having
a barbecue at the White House? Like Nero – who was only slightly less
debaucherous than Caligula – with wine on his lips Obama treated "we the people"
the way Caligula treated those over whom he lorded.
Many in America wanted
to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead,
they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of
America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation and a commonality
hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at
our expense as an entitlement – while America's people go homeless, hungry and
unemployed.
