Hating On Obama, From the Very Start
THE WEEKEND BEFORE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA was sworn in as America's president, a group of extremely wealthy conservative business people rented a room at a Motel 6 somewhere in California, to make plans. The group was led by the infamous Koch Brothers, and consisted of people who considered Obama's very election a complete catastrophe. At the same time, in Washington, conservative members of congress held a similar meeting, and both groups decided, in a nutshell, to make life hell for Obama any way they could, for as long as it takes, no matter what.Automatic opposition, to all things Obama, from the very moment he is sworn in. No honeymoom period, nothing. Gee, whatever happened to the old tradition of giving somebody a fair chance? Isn't that a good, solid, conservative value? evidently, Our modern billionaire conservative class, and their puppets, Congressional members of the Republican pary, no longer value fair play, if ever they did, which is doubtful. The "get Obama" plan has clearly been implemented, long since, we've had seven solid years of this treasonous, obstructionist nonsense, but perhaps it hasn't worked all that well. It appears that a nuclear free Iran and friendship with Cuba, for example, are more popular among Americans in general than among extreme right wingers Similarly, most Americans want reasonable gun control, and women's reproductive rights, liberal positions.. Indeed, Obamacare, another example, has been a trainwreck, especially at first, but so were social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, at first. Now it eppears to be straightening out. Our conservative coalition condemned Obamacare before it even existed. No matter what Obama does, it must be liberal, therefore it must be evil, so it must be opposed with all vigor. How open minded is that! Meanwhile, Obamacare digs in deeper in the American fabric each day, as more people sign on, and not all of them are unhappy with it. Thus with bated breath we the American people await the revealing of the conservative alternative to Obamacare - they insist they have one - and if this alternative is nothing other than a return to the system as it was before Obama, good luck with that, it might not be so popular.
