Obama blew it on Friday, just as Napolean blew it before the Council of Clouds in the French Revolution. In both cases, a supposed savior was presented with the chance to take over the government of a nation state. Both failed to rise to the occassion.
Napolean, as an artillery officer, had previously defended the Council of Clouds against a gathering mob in the streets of Paris threatening the struggling government of France with what he described as "A whiff of grapeshot" and dispersed the crowd. The Council of Clouds were eventually willing to hand over the leadership of the government to "The Little Corporal". All Napolean had to do was give one little speech, which he flubbed. Not one to miss out on his opportunity and his moment of destiny, he led the first coup in history the next day and took over the government by force.
Obama, another megalomaniac, had his moment of greatness on Friday, after being primed and briefed, inside the White House, in the Cabinet Room. But Obama, after promoting the liberal cause in the streets along with ACORN before mobs of protesors, while utilizing not a "Whiff of Grapeshot" but a continuous "Barrage of B.S.", was unable to deliver. He pulled up lame and blew his chance, by blowing up the meeting, literally, and ruined the moment.
The difference is, the coup did not come the next day, backed up with guns and grapeshot. It almost came about today; through a vote in the House of Representatives. It ended up short of the mark; for which I have to make this marked reveiw. Even as a minority, the conservative Republicans in the House, along with the conservative majority of the electorate, were able to stop what seemed to be the inevitable. The conservative House Republicans were not even needed to pass the legislation, and still the bill, or the bull failed. The Stock Market then dropped over 700 points, proving even a whipped Pavlov dog will whimper in sympathize with its abusive master when denied a bone.
Imagine what we can do if we were to win a clear conservative majority in the House and the Senate in November? Even a thin majority in each house, though it would lead to stalemate, would at least remove Pavlov (sorry, Pelosi), Reid, Rangel and Frank from their leaderships on congressional committees or the speakership. This is a representative republic, even idiots need to be represented and will continue to elect fellow idiots from their liberal districts or states to Congress. The aforesaid lead morons in the Stupid Congress cannot be voted out of office, but they can lose their leadership, and be removed from thier own Councils of Clouds. Keep up the good work through the November 4th election. We do that by continuing to assail our congressmen and senators to listen to the people; at least those informed and knowledgeable about the difference between whiffs of clouds and real substance in the Congress and the White House Cabinet Room.
