Obama's Non-Mandate

Excerpts I have heard from Wonderboy's non-State of the Union speech earlier this week have him chiding all Americans for being naughty. According to our new, inexperienced President, we have been consuming too much for his tastes, and now need his personal guidance to run our lives.

At rock bottom, the First Rookie mistakes a distrust and/or dislike of John McCain as a mandate for whatever he feels Americans need.

That's not the same thing at all.

As I discussed with a friend last night, there were certainly two, and maybe three Republican candidates who could have defeated the current President.

Although they couldn't get themselves nominated, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and even Mike Huckabee could have most probably defeated, or certainly run closer in a loss to Wonderboy.

My own favorite is Giuliani. He'd have made a terrific opponent for Obama, tearing him to shreds on issues. Overwhelming Wonderboy with his extensive executive background, honed by his skills as a US attorney.

A six or seven point victory margin is not a landslide. Just because several million white voters chose to assuage their imagined guilt by voting for a black Presidential candidate doesn't mean they agree with all of his wacky ideas.

Moreover, this President has virtually no real-world experience of which to speak. He doesn't understand people who are different from himself. He sees the glass half-empty. People who own businesses are presumed to stealing value from those they employ.

Wonderboy has done nothing in or with his life which would lead you to believe he has any great, productive, workable insights of his own. Or knows of anybody else's, either. He is the true, quintessential empty suit Devoid of experience and values.

McCain had many faults, but a lack of values wasn't one of them.

The silver lining in Wonderboy's orgy of spending and redefinition of America's social contract is two-fold.

First, his ideas won't work. Like FDR's and LBJ's programs, his, too, if enacted, will doubtless be dismantled as soon as the GOP regains a majority in Congress, and/or the Oval Office. It's quite possible that, before the new efforts to totally socialize medicine, healthcare, education and energy production gain steam, a Republican recapture of one of the Houses will cut off funding for the initiatives.

Second, the over-ambition of all these liberal Democrats, combined with their insistence on a $1T stimulus bill, will bring about inflation, markedly higher interest rates, and a prolonged economic recession.

Their own mistakes, wagered with more taxpayer money than ever before in history, will be their own undoing.

It's going to be a more painful next few years, because government didn't just let the recession end naturally. But by succumbing to temptation and swinging for the fences with every social program they've ever imagined, the liberal Democrats have shown their true colors before 60 days of the new administration have passed.

Count on millions of duped non-black voters backing Republicans in 2010, and again in 2012.
