Obama's White House is Falling Down - co-written by Daniel Greenfield & Juanita Rant, 07-15-09
WOW! A mainstream article written with some truth. Why? Oh what a surprise - because they are not American tainted mainstream media, that's why! They are from Canada and not afraid to say it like they see it. They are not wearing the rose-colored glasses. This is a clear description of how other countries are really on the outside looking in. Can our country be saved before being completely destroyed from within? j.

Obama's
White House is Falling Down
By
Daniel Greenfield Thursday, June 11, 2009
In the sixth month of his presidency, Obama has turned an
economic downturn into an economic disaster, taking over and trashing entire
companies, and driving the nation deep into deficit spending expected to pass
$10 Trillion dollars.
Abroad, Obama seems to have no other mode except to continue on
with his endless campaign, confusing speechmaking with diplomacy. It is
natural enough that Obama, who built his entire campaign on high profile
public speeches reported on by an adoring press, understands how to do nothing
else but that.
Ego driven photo op appearances and clueless treatment of
foreign dignitaries.
While the press is still chewing over Obama's Cairo speech,
this celebrity style coverage ignores the fact that Obama's endless world
tour is not actually accomplishing anything. Instead his combination of ego
driven photo op appearances and clueless treatment of foreign dignitaries
have alienated many of America 's traditional allies. Those who
aren't being quietly angry at Obama, like Brown, Merkel or Netanyahu, instead think of
him as absurdly lightweight, as Sarkozy, King Abdullah or Putin do.
While his officials carry out their dirty economic deeds, Obama responds to
any and every crisis as if it were a Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musical,
with a cry of, "Let's put on a show." Thus far, Obama has put on
"shows" across America , Europe and the Middle East. And what the adoring media coverage
neglects to cover, is that Obama's shows have solved absolutely nothing.
They have served only as high profile entertainment.
Neither alienating America ' s traditional allies, through a combination of arrogant bullying and
ignorance, nor appeasing America 's enemies, has yielded any actual
results. Nor does it seem likely to. Islamic terrorism is not going anywhere,
neither are the nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran . While Obama keeps
smiling, the global situation keeps growing more grim.
At home, if Obama was elected as depression era entertainment, the charm of his smiles and
his constant appearances on magazine covers appear to be wearing thin
on the American public. Despite the shrill attacks on Rush Limbaugh or
the Republican Enemy of the Weak-- the Democratic party of 2009, is polling a lot
like the Republican party of 2008. The Democrats have suddenly become the
incumbents, and the only accomplishment they can point to is lavish deficit
spending, often on behalf of the very same corporations and causes they once
postured against.
The European Union Parliament's swing to the right
cannot be credited to Obama, though doubtlessly some European
voters seeing socialist economic crisis management on display in the world's
richest country decided they wanted none of it, but it is part of a general
turning against federalism. And Obama's entire program is dependent
on heavily entrenching federalism at the expense of individual and state's
rights. Yet that is precisely his achilles heel with independent voters who
are polling against more taxes and expanded government. And no amount of
speeches by Obama can wish away his 18 czars or the national debt he has
foisted on generation after generation of the American people.
That leaves Obama with a choice between socialism and the independent voter. And
thus far he has chosen socialism.
Obama's tactic of hijacking Bush Administration era
policies on the economy and the War on Terror, and exploiting them
as trojan horses to promote his own agenda, have left him coping with a
backlash from his own party, as well as general Republican opposition.
And further, the main reason why he has no respect for the Constitution whereby govt is accountable and answers to the people. He wants the people to answer to the govt – like a Dictatorship. No surprise there, since he was raised and mentored in other countries and people who hate America. And why he pays millions to law firms to hide his birth and school records because he’s not a US Citizen and he knows this, but for someone who thinks he’s above our Constitution, this is normal behavior. So do you wonder why he sided with the ousted Bolivian tyrant, or why he sides against Israel?

So, how’s that “hopey-changey” thing working out for you still? Did these people have a blindfold on when voting on election day? Do you think they were they “informed” or just bering “opinionated”?
Were they looking forward, or were they still looking back and blaming?!

His Czars are meant to function as the bones in an executive infrastructure
accountable to no one, but a lack of accountability isn't just another word
for tyranny, but for incompetence. A functional chain of command is
accountable at multiple levels if it is to function effectively. Obama's White House
by contrast is in a state of over-organized chaos, the sort of organized
disorganization that undisciplined egotistical leftists naturally create for
themselves, complete with multiple overlapping levels of authority and no one
in charge but the man at the top, who's too busy doing other things to
actually be in charge.
And further, this shows the main reason why he has no respect for the Constitution whereby government is accountable and answers to the people. He wants the people to answer to the government – like a Dictatorship. No surprise there, since he was raised and mentored in other countries and people who hate America. And why he pays millions to law firms to hide his birth and school records because he’s not a US Citizen and he knows this, but for someone who thinks he’s above our Constitution, this is normal behavior. So do you wonder why he sided with the ousted Bolivian tyrant, or why he sides against Israel? Other countries who helped put him Office here pulled the biggest coup over the USA and are laughing their butts off right now.

Dennis Blair as National Intelligence, who collaborated
with the Muslim genocide of Christians in East Timor, trying
to muscle out the CIA to create his own intelligence network, is typical of the
kind of chaos being spawned by every chief in an expanding government
bureaucracy working to make sure that all the Indians answer to him. Similarly the
National Security Council wrestling with the State Department, highlighted
by Samantha Power getting her own specially created NSC position to butt
heads with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, illustrates the state of conflict
and chaos in American foreign affairs. A state of chaos so pervasive that
incompetence has now become commonplace, and no one can even be found to
double check the spelling of a Russian word that is meant to be the theme of
American's diplomatic reconstruction with Russia, or to pick out a gift for
the visiting British Prime Minister.
The death of Chrysler at the hands of Fiat and the UAW.
Meanwhile on the economy, Obama exploited the ongoing
bailouts, transforming them from bailouts into takeovers
meant to shift the balance of power in what had been a democracy and
socially engineer not only corporations, but the lives of ordinary Americans. But
the public's patience with corporate bailouts is at an end, most Americans were
never happy with them to begin with, and want them to end. The death of
Chrysler at the hands of Fiat and the UAW might look like a victory in the
union ranks, but it doesn't play too well outside Detroit . And tacking
on CAFE standards that will kill the pickup truck and the SUV will badly erode
Obama in the swing states, if exploited properly in 2010 and 2012. Despite
the constant media barrage, orchestrated out of the White House, the public
is growing disenchanted with the performance of Obama and the
Democrats.
With unemployment booming and the economy dropping,
the jobs aren't there and the spending is out of control. Republicans today
are polling better on ethics and the economy, than the Democrats are. That
shows a trend which is likely to register in the mid-term elections in 2010,
in the same way that the EU parliamentary elections served as a shock to the system.
In the opposition, Republicans are free to embrace the rhetoric
of change, to champion reform and push libertarian ideas about the size and
scope of government. In turn all Obama has is his celebrity fueled media
spectacle world tour. A charade now serving as a parallel to the depression
era entertainment that functioned as escapism in a dour
time. But before long, it may be Obama that the American public will want to
escape from.
A shallow, manipulative and egotistical amateur who is in
over his head.
Obama has tried to play Lincoln, Reagan, JFK and FDR-- but
in the end he can only play himself, a shallow, manipulative
and egotistical amateur who is in over his head, and trying to drag the
country down with him. Obama's White House is falling down and while the
flashbulbs are still glittering and the parties are going on in D.C. and
around the world, Obama and the Democratic Congress may be headed for a recession of their own.
