In 2007 and 2008 when Barack Obama was on the campaign trail (that’s him without his hand over his heart as the National Anthem was being played at a 2008 rally in New Mexico) I listened carefully to his speeches and was a bit more than just concerned by their content, I was alarmed.
Though he tried to distance himself from his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, He had attended that church for many years, and must have been there when Wright made his infamous comment from the pulpit:
“God Bless America? No, no, no. Not God Bless America. God damn America. It’s in the Bible!
It became clear to me that this mixed race individual had serious problems concerning race relations in general, and his attitudes towards white people in pparticular. His wife Michelle echoed that attitude when she stated after his nomination to be the Democratic Party candidate for president in 2008 that:
“For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”
Considering her very privileged life up to that point, that was an outrageous statement.
As the months dragged on, Obama continued to make statements which revealed the man behind the myth that was being created by an adoring media. Instead of bringing the various races together as simply non-hyphenated Americans, his attitudes and policies would most likely drag us farther apart.
Finally, on Oct. 30, 2008, on the cusp of his historic presidential election, Obama stated, in a speech given in Columbia, Missouri:
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
My initial reaction was, and still is:
“Into What?”
That became clear after his inauguration by the choice of his cabinet members, particularly for Attorney General. Eric Holder, the first black to hold that position, stated publicly:
“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards.”
That brought us all together for sure.
The other thing that bothered me was Obamas choice for a running mate. Joe Biden, a Senator from the tiny state of Delaware was chosen for several reasons, the first of which was his race and the second that he wasn’t a threat to the power base Obama planned on building. Known for his many verbal gaffs and propensity for exaggerating his accomplishments, Biden was just “Crazy old Uncle Joe”.
So, during eight years of the Obama Administration, we watched fuel prices rise to the highest point on record up to that time. That of course affected the price of everything else. Inflation raged, but Obama could and did blame everything on the cards he had been left by his predecessor, George W. Bush. It was “racist” Ito imply anything else.
Biden chose not to run for president in 2016 after the untimely death of his eldest son, leaving that task to Hillary Clinton, who was declared by the media to be a shoo in. Unfortunately for her, she believed her own propaganda, and even with the false Russia collusion charges cooked up by her campaign organization and the DNC, she still lost to political novice Donald Trump.
Now, the political machine led by Valerie Jarrett went into high gear. With Obama the self proclaimed leader of political “resistance” to the Trump Administration, the next four years were constant chaos. It was amazing how much Trump got done with the political hounds of hell released by the DNC constantly nipping at his heels.
Now, probably pressured by his wife, brother and remaining son, Joe Biden was persuaded to run against Trump in 2020. The election was one of the most contentious in history, with Biden supposedly winning with the largest number of votes in history, even though he couldn’t attract a hundred people to any of his rallies while Trump was speaking before tens of thousands at his. “Nothing suspicious here” screamed the DNC and the media. “Move along, move along.”
So here we are, fourteen years later. Fuel prices at another all time high, once again dependent on OPEC for oil and China for virtually everything else. 31 TRILLION dollars in debt and threatened for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union by a nuclear holocaust. In a recession, although Biden won’t admit it in his increasingly addled state of mind. I finally have the answer to my question,: “Into What?”
Quite simply into a nation in decline financially and morally. Into a nation racially at odds with itself, being pushed towards a race war if we’re not careful. Into a nation where our Constitution isn’t worth the parchment it is written on in the minds of the Democrat leftists who control that party. Finally into a nation being led by a man in way over his head. As was commented by Barack Obama, who should know:
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up”
We’re seeing that in action, aren’t we?
