It was earlier this week that in answering a
question posed by one of our stellar members of the ‘press’ Barry included the question asked. He said, “"How am I
going to spend whatever political capital that I've built up?" And it was then that he proceeded to answer
his own question by saying, "You know, the list is long, and my
instructions to my team and my instructions to myself have always been that we
are going to squeeze every last ounce of progress that we can make when I have
the privilege of -- as long as I have the privilege of holding this office.”
Now Barry may choose to define what has taken place
in this country during his presidential tenure as progress, but as one who has
been forced to live through it, it has been nothing but progress
backwards. Because in looking at the
numbers, that’s precisely the direction in which he has taken us. For example, we now have the lowest
participation rate in the nation’s workforce since 1977, or during Jimmy Carter’s
presidency. This despite Barry’s claims
of having created millions of jobs and a thoroughly concocted unemployment rate
of 5.3 percent.
But such substantive topics of discussion simply never
come up during any interaction between this president and our state-controlled
media. Instead, Barry is permitted to
talk about such things as the new overtime rules he's planning to issue. He said, "That's going to give a raise
to 5 million people potentially in this country who really deserve
it." And rarely, if ever is he ever
challenged on any of his rhetoric. He’s
simply allowed to say whatever he wants while those assigned the task of
keeping him honest simply nod in agreement.
Barry then went on to mention his desire to work on rebuilding
the nation's infrastructure, saying that he very much wants to work with
Congress in order to "put people back to work" on road, bridge and
other projects. But come on folks, Barry
has had over seven long years to focus on getting people back to work, and instead
chose to work on those issues that were more politically favorable. Remember when he said, and with a sizable
grin on his face, that those “shovel-ready projects” turned out “not to be quite
as shovel-
ready as he expected?”
And of course Barry couldn’t resist to once again bring
up the topic of race. He said, "I
am really interested in the possibilities, the prospect of bipartisan
legislation around the criminal justice system, something that I think directly
speaks to some of the themes that I mentioned on Friday." Of course he was referencing his eulogy for
the Reverend Clementa Pinckney in Charleston, S.C. last Friday in which he mentioned
racial bias, and the tens of thousands of young black men "caught up in
the criminal justice system." His phrase,
“caught up,” meant to imply innocence perhaps?
And it was also during that same eulogy that Barry
simply could not resist focusing on "gun violence," saying "the
vast majority" of Americans, including gun owners, "want to do
something about this." Actually
“the vast majority” of all Americans, both those who own guns as well as those
who do not, not only support the Second Amendment but according to recent
polling date, public opinion now seems to be shifting in favor of gun rights.
Maybe that’s because more Americans are growing wary of their increasingly
powerful government.
And it was also on Tuesday that Barry said, "I
want to keep on making progress on job training and making sure that the idea
of two years of free community college starts taking root. And the list is
long. And what we're going to do is just keep on hammering away at all the
issues that I think are going to have an impact on the American people.” Having an impact on the American people is
all well and good, as long as said impact is positive. But let’s be honest here, how much of what
Barry has done as president has had a positive effect on very many Americans?
Barry promised, "Some of them will be left
undone, but we're going to try to make progress on every single one of them." He went on to say, "One of the things
I've learned in this presidency is that there are going to be ups and there are
going to be downs. But as long as my focus and my team's focus is on what is
going to make a difference in the lives of ordinary Americans -- are we going
to give them more opportunity so that if they work hard, they can get ahead.” Now I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m
a lot farther behind than I was in 2009.
Barry continued by saying, “Are we going to make
this a more inclusive economy, a more inclusive society, a more fair, just
society -- if that's our North Star and we keep on tacking in that direction,
we're going to make progress.” And he added, "And I feel -- I feel pretty
excited about it. So I might see if we can make next week even better." This is typical socialism. And what’s scary, if we continue to experience
the same level betrayal from our supposed Republican leadership then there’s no
reason not to expect Barry to achieve even more success in his effort to
destroy America.
And it was at one point that Barry was asked if last
week was the best week he's ever had, given the Supreme Court rulings upholding
Obamacare subsidies and same-sex marriage, as well as the Republican-led
Congress helping him get the trade legislation he wanted. But little mention was made of the specifics
behind the actions taken by the Establishment Republicans, aka RINOs, that make
up the leadership in Congress or the faux conservatives now on the Supreme Court
who chose to ignore the Constitution. Barry
can thank them for how his week turned out.
Barry indicated it probably wasn't his best week
overall -- but he did call it "gratifying: "In terms of my best week,
now my best week, I will tell you, was marrying Michelle. That was a really
good week. Malia and Sasha being born, excellent weeks...There was a game where
I scored 27 points. That was a pretty good week.” He went on to say, "I've
had some good weeks in my life, I will tell you. And I'm blessed to have had
those. I think last week was gratifying." Of course it was gratifying, he was able to
further transform America.
It was in describing his week that Barry referred to
it as "simply a culmination of a lot of work that we've been doing since I
came into office." But that’s far
from an accurate portrayal of how things came to be. What we were witness to was when Barry found
himself being deserted by many members of his own party, there was more than a
sufficient number of Establishment Republicans ready, and quite willing, to
come riding to his rescue and thus allow him his opportunity to gloat. Republicans who essentially got themselves
elected under what were very false pretenses.
