He has finally admitted it. We now know what the President’s goals have been for his administration and who has inspired him in this regard.
You thought it was immigration reform? Or health care reform? Or maybe to rebuild and strengthen the economy, or to continue to earn respect for our country across the world?
As to his inspiration, perhaps you thought it was to “help the folks”. I mean, he says that all the time, right?
Not really. If you think our well being is uppermost in his thoughts, the first thing he thinks about in the morning and the last thing on his mind at night, then you would be more than a little off-base.
His real goal, his major source of inspiration, was revealed in a short speech he made to about 100 people at the White House Wednesday, a speech which hasn’t even made the major news casts the last I heard.
And it took place at a movie screening for a new movie to be released next week called “Cesar Chavez”.
The President said he couldn’t stay to watch the movie with the audience but that the producer would provide him with a CD to watch later. Someone in the audience corrected him by saying he would be watching it on a DVD. (Which also explains why the healthcare.gov website isn’t working well. Anyone who doesn’t know a CD from a DVD can’t be expected to figure out a website.)
But I digress.
Let’s look at the context in which he made that comment - that he planned to watch it over the weekend while his wife and daughters were in China, and I”m quoting him now, “Nothing better than to see an inspiring film, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the chronicled life of one of my heroes and one of the people who inspired me to get into the work I got into,”
What a loaded and revealing statement for our president to make.
First of all, the world is on fire with violence, and tumult and chaos.
Women and children are being murdered in Syria, and Netanyahu has ordered the IDF to prepare for a possible first strike on Iran. Putin is plotting how he can get the rest of the Ukraine returned to his Soviet “empire”,and today news analysts are talking about Estonia being his next conquest .Several hundred families from across the world are experiencing unimaginable grief as they mourn the loss of loved ones in the missing Malaysian airliner.
In America unemployment is rampant across the nation. The cost of groceries and other goods goes up daily along with the ever increasing cost of gas.
Millions of people have lost the health insurance coverage that had been protecting them for years, with doctors and hospitals they knew and trusted. Now we have more people not covered by health insurance than we did when the atrocious Obamacare bill was forced upon us against our will.
But in just nine days from the day you are reading this the website will be running at 150% and Kathleen Sibelius will enjoy her definition of success by seeing 7 million fully insured Americans with less expensive and more comprehensive coverage than they’ve ever had, all fully paid for at a website which hasn’t even had the payment collection portion built as I write this, or (and this is the really chilling part) by a bailout with all those tax dollars we are required to mail in by April 15.
Still got your rose-colored glasses on?
As one astute observer noted, Obama is filling out 2014 NCAA Basketball brackets while Putin is redrawing the borders of Russia.
So our president has nothing to do but sit home and watch a movie about his hero and the man who inspired him for his life’s work, while filling out his brackets during commercials.
Chevez is famous for popularizing the slogan “Si, se puede” roughly translated in English as “Yes, it can be done”. So now we know where Obama’s campaign slogan “Yes, we can” originated.
Chavez was a highly controversial labor leader. Labor leaders are always controversial. I get that. But Chavez worked for and was mentored by Saul Alinsky who described himself as a professional radical and wrote several books outlining his philosophy, including “Reveille For Radicals and Rules for Revolution”. The name of Saul Alinsky is well known among those who have watched the history of radical political organizing over the years. ACORN was the brain child of Saul Alinsky and we all know about that scandal.
Did Chavez accomplish some good for farm workers? Was he an inspiration because he had several obstacles to overcome? That’s all in your viewpoint, I guess.
But I would like to think my president was concentrating more on our present day farm economy, as well as industrial, manufacturing and energy needs including getting the Keystone pipeline built.
I would like to see him focusing more on how to create jobs, how to take care of our veterans and meet their medical and financial needs. Their situation now is a national travesty. Men and women who went to war to protect us should not be sleeping homeless on the streets.
There is work to be done, Mr. President. Forget the DVD, and let the brackets take care of themselves. You will know how it all turns out in the long run.
What we don’t know is how America is going to survive if we don’t change our course and put people to work, and if we don’t turn the education of our children back over to their parents and local school boards, and allow our doctors and hospitals to take care of the sick unimpeded by government regulations.
Lastly, we must strengthen, rebuild and finance our national defense so we will once again have the mightiest military in the world - not to fight and subdue others, but to protect the weak and vulnerable of the world.
