Barack Obama — the cause and effect president
Bookworm on Jan 04 2012 at 7:45 am | Filed under: Barack Obama
It is tempting, when reading the morning headlines, to think “Isn’t it a nasty coincidence that all this dislocation in the world happened during Barack Obama’s unusually weak presidency? Couldn’t the Arab Spring have taken place while Bush was president? And it’s just too bad that the Euro collapsed on his watch?” And on and on, with every bad headline, one thinks, “If only this particular bit of bad news had happened under a stronger president, one who could have handled it better.”
That, of course, is all illogical thinking. Not just because it’s wishful, but because it’s bass ackward. It’s not a coincidence that these things happened on Obama’s watch. Instead, they things happened because of Obama’s watch.
Obama made clear from Day One that he is favorably inclined towards the bad actors of the world. This was all the encouragement the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria, and the Palestinians — all of whom are responsible for major dislocations overseas — needed to burst forth.
Obama made it clear from Day One that he’s hostile to capital. That kept the markets deeply depressed and accelerated what I admit was probably inevitable, which is the Euro’s collapse.
Obama made it clear from Day One that he dislikes white America, giving carte blanche to the race hustlers who have set race relationships in the nation back by thirty or forty years. We’re not in the 50s, but we’re definitely in the 60s, and that despite the fact that, looked at objectively, ordinary Americans have proven themselves to be remarkably color blind in 21st century America.
Obama is not the hapless victim of a chaotic world. He is the reason we have a chaotic world.
By the way, I’m not trying to saying that Obama is some Machiavellian operator, a Dr. Evil, who caused each of the events that shake our world. I’m merely saying that, given his hostilities, his preferences, his weaknesses, and his strengths, it’s no coincidence that the years of his presidency have witnessed the collapse of American prestige in the Middle East, the collapse of the Euro, the continued weakness and despair in the American economy, an increase in racial hostility, and a race in government corruption, among other dreary headlines. He’s not the effect; he’s the cause.

Evil breeds more evil. Chaos breeds more chaos in the world. Megalomaniacal leaders and Leftist death cults, when empowered, make the rest of the world more evil, more insane, and more chaotic. But I guess people didn’t learn that when they got their (stupid) college degrees, now did they.
One of the reasons America is despised, hated not feared, in the world is because of our enormous reach, military and economic, that can upset the status quo of any nation in the world just with our pinky. It’s why they, Europe, think they should get a “vote” in selecting our President. If Rome had this position, Rome would be feared, not despised. Because Rome would have killed anyone that said anything bad, let alone dared do anything to the dominant national leader of the world. America, though, is often see as materialistic and weak spiritually, with no fiber or character or will to fight. Like a big fat executive that can’t get up one flight of stairs without puffing, the world may not be able to contest the power of such an executive or their money or the goons such money hires, but the world despises such as an executive for his weaknesses, precisely because of the power said executive wields.
Everyone knows what happens when they take in a homicidal serial killer into their family and everyone elects them the family patriarch, in charge of information, family planning, marriage, economic decisions, and the family treasure chest. Everyone knows. But not many will do anything good about it using that info.
He’s weak. It is one thing to be affable and even conciliatory upon taking leadership but you will be challenged, especially when like Obama you have no track record. Obama never rose to the challenges. He provided no leadership on the stimulus or Obamacare, leaving the power in Pelosi and Reed’s hands. He told the bad actors how he’d react with his failure to provide any real support for the Iranian protestors. He was completely without standard in the Iraqi withdrawal, having no conditions that must be met other than time. He took no real position other than providing guns and shooters in the Libyan affair. Even that was simply an effort to keep oil flowing.
On the other hand, he’s been persistently disruptive to the markets and investments. He’s been activist against productive interests. He’s provided no reason for anyone risk money on anything not pre-approved by his administration and then only if you are connected.
One good, solid, stance as a leader could have settled the troublemakers down, but it has to happen early in the tour. Then, from a position of strength he could have permitted some movement toward their agenda if desired. If you don’t do this, once one challenger starts making you dance, the tune never stops and the crowd shooting at your feet only grows.
I fear only a replacement of the leader can sort things out now, be it a Republican or another Democrat but no one is going to take Obama serious now, not after 3 years of other people calling the shots.
Remember how the Iranian Crisis sorted itself out during Reagan’s Inaugural speech. It wasn’t anything sinister, it was Iran not wanting to be the example. The hostage crisis would be the leadership challenge for Reagan. Iran had one face saving option, to not be holding the hostages when the new sheriff took over.
Cause and effect, something that children and liberals do not understand. In the specific instance advanced for discussion, the broadly nit-witted American electorate has seen fit to put someone who is both a child and a liberal in the white house, thus illuminating – with a searchlight – their own failure to grasp the concept: put a non-adult liberal in the office, and there will be consequences. This isn’t abstruse, it’s obvious – but it apparently escapes America. From whose shores the time to depart draws palpably nearer.
