The present US administration is following a very simple process. First, start a fire. Whatever it takes there MUST be a fire to put out or it will "appear" that we are doing nothing. So far, the fire has been Health Insurance, Global Warming, and Economic Disaster. The best way to start the fire is to spew emotional diatribes and to get as many of the masses stirred up as possible. If proof shows that there isn't really a fire, continue with the diatribes anyhow. As we all know, tell a lie enough times, people will start to believe it. Having the media on your side is also a must.
Second step, put the fire out. Though it is an imaginary fire that is really consuming nothing, you have already convinced people that they muist get out of the house so the fire can be extinguished. A major problem arises when the second step is taken and the masses haven't been convinced. This is the problem that Health Insurance and Global Warming have run in to. Despite the best efforts of the firestarters, they couldn't corner the ideological market.With the help of the media they have saturated the airwaves and newspapers with the doom and gloom of bit issues. Unfortunately, the masses realized that the previous fire, economic destruction, is being made worse by the firestarters response. They are no longer giving in to the diatribes and misleading statements. This puts the firestarter into a very precarious position. They can't admit there isn't a fire because they will suffer ridicule and embarrassment. Though, because many have caught onto their bogus charges, they are already starting to face this. There present response is to deride and ignore those who claim there isn't a fire. In other words, "chicken little has come home to roost and the other chickens are mad". The firestarters have no other choice. They lied to get this "fire" started so it isn't in them to confess the truth even if that would be what is necessary to put this "fire" out. Pathological liars know no other way to deal with issues. Unfortunately, they will follow this path of lies to their own destruction. Tragically, it will affect others more than them.
Because they have failed to convince people of a fire and therefore have nothing to put out, they can no longer be the hero. This eliminates step three. Only in their own minds can they see themselves as heroes. They will claim that the "masses" just don't know what is good for them. Welcome to modern politics.
Everything that Barack Obama and his administration is attempting to do was predictable. If those millions of people who bought his books actually read them they would have been well informed as to what the ideological bent of Barack Obama is. despite this, his own words gave is intentions away. The masses anger at the previous administration consumed the people. The protest vote against John McCain, somewhat deserved, also helped. Unfortunately, America got the President it voted for. A socialistic, borderline communist, that wanted to reshape and restructure the foundation of our country. That is exactly what he is doing.
When I was a child, between 9yeras old and 12, I use to have conversations with my friends about certain girls we liked. Because of our age and our boiysh ways, many girls didn't want anything to do with us. We use to imagine ways to get certain girls to like us. It bever failed, someone always came up with the idea of staging an act. This act usually involved one of the boys verbally assaulting the girl. Meanwhile, the boy who liked the girl would then "fight" the verbal assaulter to defend the girls honor. All of this to get the girl to like him. As pathetic as that sounds, it is even worse when applied by adults in positions of serious authority and responsibility.
Mr. Obama it is time for you to grow up and have grown up ideas and actions. You can't go back and have your Father not leave your mother. You can't go back and be raised by your parents instead of your Grandparents. Your childhood should have ended a long time ago. Your immature, unrealistic ideas are going to destroy many people. Anyone willing to follwo this man is just as immature, naive, ignorant, and downright stupid as his approach ot governing has been.
