Obama: Ascension

The more I observe Barack Obama and his current reign as President, the more I realize how much in over his head he’s gotten himself.  He is probably starting to realize it, if he hasn’t already, and this is evident by his some of his actions like deciding against civilian trials for Islamic terrorist leaders.

You see, we all would like to be President of the United States, to some degree or another.  Now pretty much all of us are content to settle for what we have and lack the ambition and drive to achieve that goal, but we all would want the job.  We probably have lofty dreams about what we would do once we got into office and all the things we would change.

This is exactly the kind of attitude I believe Barack Obama had when started running for President.  It looks like, to me, he had no idea what the job really entailed and he was probably pushed into it by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who didn’t want Hilary Clinton there because she couldn’t be controlled nor was she pretty to look at.  Back in 2004, Obama was a virtual nobody in the DC political area.  And when he gave his stellar speech at the Democrat Party Convention, everyone decided that this guy was the best man for high office.  I’m almost certain that several Democrat Party leaders realized that they had made a mistake in supporting John Kerry.

And thus, the grooming began.  It wasn’t hard for them to manipulate Obama because he had been groomed all his life by Leftists.  His mother was a big Leftist, Frank Marshal Davis, Bill Ayers, and probably countless others.  In essence, they hollowed him out and planted their ideology in his head.  Obama was the perfect drone to do the bidding of the American Left.

And so, when he became Senator, it was really a step in the direction of moving him toward the Presidency for these Leftists.  At the time, Hilary Clinton was the frontrunner for 2008 and just about everyone knew it.  But the American Leftists didn’t like her because she could not be controlled.  She also had a track record of screwing things up, like the push for Socialized Medicine in 1993-1994.  Their Holy Grail was so close back then and the American Left firmly believes that her mismanagement is what screwed it up, not the voice of the people.

This time, they needed a puppet who talked the talk and looked great and who could appeal to the dumb masses.  Bonus if that person was a minority.  And Obama made his stirring speech to the Democrat Party in 2004 during the rally for Kerry and they found their guy.  He was the perfect puppet for their Utopian vision or sleazy power grab, whichever way you look at it.

So when they told Barack Obama that he should run for President, which was probably back in 2005 or just a little earlier, he of course liked the idea.  He knew he had some powerful people backing him up and they probably laid out the plan for his ascension to high office right then and there.  He, of course, accepted because he lacked the wisdom to understand the magnitude of the position he desired.

Leadership, you see, requires that you give up your rights for your responsibilities.  In essence, the more responsibilities you take on as a leader, the more rights you give up for yourself.  I believe that Obama is starting to realize this now that he’s been President for over a year.  This is probably why he has really been pushing the health care “reform” bill because it is probably the last delusion he can hold on to before everything breaks down and he realizes how big of a mess he’s really in.

When he finally breaks down, though, it will probably be swept under the rug, but it will be apparent by the subtle change in his behavior in public and his shift in attitude.  You’ll probably see less of him on television.  And that’s something I think we can look forward to.
