Obama is in Control

One of the most common tools of calculating, devious politicians and leaders is the use of surrogates and underlings to take the blame for perceived and real failures, while always taking full credit for any successes, whether or not it has been due to their own actions. Nowhere has this behavior been more apparent than with the Obama administration.

According to Obama, failures and problems are never the result of his orders or actions, but instead are the result of incompetence or bad judgement among his various cabinet officials or unwise Democrat congressmen. Awarding KSM a civilian trial in NYC? Why, that was the idea and plan of Attorney General Eric Holder; we are supposed to believe that Obama new nothing about it and it was all Holder's doing. In other words, a major legal and security issue was decided without the approval or advice of the president? I'm sorry, but the American people are not all idiots.

From the "health" care legislation, to the Honduras debacle, to numerous other events, Obama has claimed ignorance of failures and unpopular policy. If there are noxious sections to a piece of legislation, like the Cornhusker kickback or the Louisiana Purchase, Obama claims ignorance and blame rests solely on Democrat senators. Regardless of how much back room "persuading" his chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel partakes in. We are supposed to believe that Obama, as the head of the U.S. government and his political party, does not direct or control affairs that crucially affect America.

That's what makes videos like this one so special; because they lift the mask off of the charade and show Obama in all his devious, narcissistic glory. Perhaps the only shocking part of the whole testimony is the fact that a few Democrats were working with Republicans to attempt to draft truly bipartisan legislation. But a visit to Obama got that silly notion of "bipartisanship" cleared up real quick, while adding the necessary radical elements to appease his union and leftist base while gratifying his desire for power. That the bill became the government power grab and crony capitalist piece of garbage it is now shows the true nature and agenda of Obama, and how his ideological beliefs and policy plans are vile in their disregard for working citizens and dangerous to individual liberty.

If any more proof is needed to show Obama's callous disregard for the people, his belief in his utter superiority above any kind of moral and ethical standard, and his full embrace of the postmodern leftist belief that the ends are the only real truth, look no further than his recent comment to reporters about new middle-class taxes. When asked if he would renege on his promise not to raise "any form of tax" on Americans making less than $250,000 a year, Obama replied that he wasn't going to play that "old Washington game," and that everything is on the table when it comes to reducing the deficit (that he created).

Tyrants throughout history have shown that they will promise constituencies the world in order to grab power, and once they have it, they will do anything to keep it. The socialist ideological programs of the twentieth century both exercise the totalitarian power-consolidating impulse while effectively fulfilling the vain desire to control and engineer society due to belief in intellectual and moral superiority. Studying the words, actions, past history, and character of Obama, one finds that this picture fits, and all that is required to turn him into a truly historical tyrant is an increase in the power that he currently now holds. And if you review his stated agenda, this power is what he now seeks.
