Was everyone as fed up with the anauguration as I was? For a protector of the people, Obam had to be bailed out of his own extravagent coronation. This after he had complained about the $1,200,000 spent remodeling the executive offices of Merrill Lynch before the October surprise, and yet he blows more than a hundred times that that amount, at $150,000,000 on a one day Maoist rally and outspends George W. Bush's second anauguration four to one. After all that, he did not measure up, by flubbing his oath of office.
Obama could have skipped the cermonies, the bankrupt balls, taken the oath in the Rose Garden, walked down to the steps of Congress to give a more inpiring speech, then walked back down Pennsylvania Ave. like Jimmy Carter and gotten to work. He could have at least saved us some of the $110,000,000 he spent above what was supposedly lavished on Bush. With his perverse Napolean Complex, it was surprising he did not place a crown upon his head with his own hands. Napolean did, and all subsequent dictators have always wanted to do the same thing.
Obama had also complained about the Big 3 CEOs flying to Washington for Senate hearings in their private jets. Over six hundred private jets came to Wahsington for the coronation so their occupants could pay homage to or buy off the new ruler. Pelosi was already in Washington, so she couldn't fly the Speaker of the House's private jet anywhere. Of course, we can suggest to the queen bee what she can do with it.
History will show Obama is not the savior, he is not a demi god, he is just a run of the mill demagogue and the head of the newest band of looters. Everyone needs to read Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" to know where Obama and the rest of the left are heading. Rand was born in Russia and was twelve when the Red October Revolution overthrew an earlier, broad based revolution which deposed of the Tsar. Red October ushered in communist rule. The people of the new Soviet Union had to then live under Communism as it was imposed upon them. "Atlas Shrugged" and the Federalist Papers should be required reading in all high schools and journalism schools so the obtuse can be enlightened to the tendency to class envy in pure democracies James Madison warned against in Federalist Paper 10. If they won't listen to that, remind them of Federalist Paper 29 concerning the militia and the right to bear arms written by Alexander Hamilton.
It is said that those who forget the lessons of history are condemmed to repeat it. Actually, those who forget the lessons of history force the rest of us to suffer the consequences of their hubris and destructive actions in endleess repetition once they're in power. We were looted by FDR, Carter and Clinton; we will now be looted more systematically by Obama.
In the future, after the destruction of America and the Economy by the imposition of the newest Communism, we will need to send the culprits to the ultimate retirement home for demagogues, prison. Former Democrat Rep. Traficante, who was rail roaded into prison for being a real maverick, could have summed up the present situation with his famous send off "Beam me up!"
