Post-Election Debriefing >>

Barack Obama has been cavorting around the nation with his blackberry looking like a male model, talking about hope and change, change and hope, and hope for the change. “Feel good” vibes elevated the hearts of millions of American youth as they poured into the polls to elect the messiah, all based on a cutting-edge technological infrastructure to mobilize a database of 10 million youth and cell phone numbers.

Ok, so now what?

Just to take inventory, we have Bashar al Assad, Mahmoud Ahmedinijead, Kim Jon Il, Osama bin Laden… all from places that Obama deemed “small and harmless.” Our little Robin Hood in tights has no base of professionals and entrenched insiders to bring with him to the Whitehouse, and therefore surrounds himself with veterans like Hillary Clinton and Rahm Emanuel (change). A president with no executive, business, legislative, military, or international expertise is, by all accounts, asking for on-the-job pedagogues to light his way. That does not mean his office has no power—as this child is now the executive with the ballpoint pen. What it does mean is that he will be a factotum for the Democrats in Congress, and he will serve as a handsome mouthpiece taking credit and dolling blame. Policy will not be his strong suit, so much as it will be his chore. It strikes me like that child’s fable about young Atreyu, forced to look into the mirror of truth to complete his quest. What a way to find out about the world!

I mean, assuming John McCain just keeled over and died halfway through his first term as most liberals hoped...er... speculated, Sarah Palin would have the executive expertise of running a business, state national guard, and about 2 years of being VP to debrief her on all external issues. Couple that with managerial acumen, the political courage for reform in Alaska, and a rugged sense of individualism this country so badly needs, and I feel she would have excelled in that contingency. But both she and Bobby Jindal have enormous political potential as rising stars in the GOP, and I venomously admonish those Palin-bashers for lacerating a new face and new wave of our tired party. Stop it. Stop attacking the future of the GOP. There is no help in what you are doing. We need new people, a new set of faces, newer ways to implement lasting ideas, and both of those people represent that. So let me be clear in my intentions in stating: based upon all I currently know, I support Governor Sarah Palin in 2012. I never stopped liking her, and I don’t let the MSM pick my candidates and steer me from others. The other day a donkey mocked me as having no legs to stand on given the fiscal unrestraint of Republicans. I retorted “are you acknowledging that excessive spending and government is a bad thing then?” He replied that he was, and I told him that every bad thing that the GOP did in stumbling off the path, the DNC will do on purpose. He angrily changed his answer to a “well…no. High spending is not always bad.” I asked him then why he was upset. This moron was apoplectic. Moral of the story: when picking who is conservative, don’t ask a Liberal. Or rather do, but just gravitate towards the candidate they shriek at the most. Note that the MSM steered us to McCain until he won the nomination. So take little stock in their opinion.

Joe Biden seconded my fears when he announced to a Seattle fundraiser in late October that Barack Obama would be tested and that we should still rally to him regardless of his decisions. I wonder if Putin is TiVoed that gaffe. And given the economic crisis that we face, all Obama has said about bailing out the Big Three is that there should be conditions.  He is also still waffling on his tax policy as well, and when exactly he will apply the hike. Does this guy have any real new ideas of his own? Huckabee had a new idea with Tax Reform, Hillary with Socialized Medicine (almost new, or rather revolutionary), McCain’s proposal of a League of Democracies, and Palin urged to actually drill here, drill now. Obama’s plan to mobilize a massive student/citizen army is not only reminiscent of the Woodrow Wilson’s American Protective League (nothing new), but it will do nothing to cure what ails us and fictitiously overblows the current crisis by sending marching men and women with torches and pitchforks at economic abstracts.

That’s funny. I always thought “citizen army” was inherent in the Second Amendment.

 As far as predictions are concerned, President Obama will likely not advance gun control or spend his political capital attempting to dismantle Talk Radio. Instead, he will plunge headlong into a New Deal/Great Society boondoggle. Those other projects will follow, so I think I still have time to stock up on ammo. But once again, in order to achieve all of these things, Obama will have to raise taxes, cut other programs, or deepen the deficit (maybe all three). His decisions will be tougher along the way than he supposed, but he will have a strong PR blitz to justify a hike for those outside the 95%. Example from the syndicated Obama Channel:

“Good evening to you all. I am your President, Barack Obama. After Sept. 11^th, we were united behind our leaders, and we gave that they may act for our nation’s security and common good. Today, we face a crisis just as large in scope, but of an economic sort. After the twin towers collapsed, our leaders did not ask you to sacrifice for this common effort. But given the gravity of these circumstances, history will not allow us to sit idly by and hope for a change; we must work for it. I would be remiss in my duties as your president if I did not bring this dire need to light, and ask for your support on the responsibility I am about to place in your hands…”

Now although Barack Obama equates looking at a diminished paystub with tough American responsibility, most people will probably buy it. If they don’t, then he might be in a world of hurt politically, depending on how deeply in the tank the networks are for his Administration. And all of those external annoyances in the world will be shielded or avoided at all cost by this boy king who will spook easily at the sight of a concern deeper than “healing America,” whatever that means. Now the American public has more conservative fortresses than they did under Lyndon Johnson, so this may prove more difficult than President Obama has planned so far.

Either way, it is time to stand and deliver.

…………………………

On a sidenote, the existential dilemma of the Republican Party is forcing us towards greater introspection and accountability to our leaders who claim that they espouse conservative principles. The technological front, without which Obama could not have won the Oval Office, this aspect is almost as important as keeping to policy…almost. Leading this charge is a man, whom I am now plugging shamelessly, going by the name of Moshe Starkman. He is beginning a bold new grassroots experiment that taps the GOP activists by creating an online networking group spanning the entire United States—a veritable Republican facebook of sorts. It is still in its early runs, but I deeply encourage all of you to join this new, cutting-edge, and broad web of young activists. We can begin reconstituting a base now, and ideas like this blaze that trail.
