We Figured Him Out (Barack Obama) Too Dammed Late

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.

They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.

They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.

They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Why were we duped, you ask? Because it is in the character and personality of an ego-centered Narcissist to be believed. They accept no contrary opinions. They have a 100% conviction in their own opinion and beliefs. They typically are well spoken and have a certain amount of charisma. They are adept at twisting and spinning any thought into their own mold. He rallied much of the non-Caucasian and youth vote. Why? Because he preached change. This element of voters either feel they needed change, or in the case of the young voters, they didn’t have enough experience to fully understand “change from and to what” but the charisma and rhetoric sold this “load of poles”.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be — a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to “protect us” from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

The title “WE FIGURED HIM OUT!” does not apply to me. I knew all about him for over a year. I’m teed off at those who put him there, for being either too lazy or too stupid to know better.

They may have ruined my country and yours.

You must as an American FORWARD this to all, or you will wake up one morning and your freedoms are no longer there.

AND... He WARNED US... His plan, with OUR help was...to FUNDAMENTALLY change America...key word...FUNDAMENTALLY....

And what a legacy he left..of hate, distrust, anger, disgust, ALL so evident in the aftermath of his departure. On the mall in D.C., in the streets, oozing, festering, infecting, putrefying the very innards of American Society.

Political activism and PRAYER is the only combination for reversal because, you can't put the genie back in the bottle, without BOTH.

God bless America... God HELP America.

All this is pertinent now in what manner? This is history, eight years of national insanity, the only important questions are how do we rectify the damage he did and how do we recover from here? We are beset with loss of freedoms, in the name of security, while our government is doing everything in their power to increase insecurity. Do you have any ideas with regard to something we can affect because your diatribe is about accomplished fact, set in concrete, immutable, and not relevant to any future action.

Therese

Yeah...well, you've got to NAME the problem before you can even BEGIN to solve it. Have you ANY IDEA how many people either have NO IDEA of the damage he did during his administration?...and those who feel helpless either finally understanding it or coming to such understanding.

Who is going to correct this if you don't garner support through KNOWLEDGEABLE people either who are CURRENTLY not aware..or...feel as if they are ALONE in their thoughts..

As I said, the genie is out of the bottle. Who is going to put it back in, you?/me? I think NOT...AND that's the frustration. It is an infection that society will either accept or ultimately reject..Their is NO antidote. Like a disease, that must run its course.. it will die a slow death over time....TIME, years, no doubt, insidious as it is. And it will get worse BEFORE it gets better. The perpetrator must be identified, so in HISTORY he receives proper credit for causing such an American DISASTER. So, talk about it NOW, talk about it FOREVER, so it's place in HISTORY is recorded properly..
Tell you what..YOU come up with a method to shove it back in the 'bottle.'...and...I'll PRAY. BOTH ARE NEEDED.

I find it important to rehash this issue of the anointed one . Not for you or for me . Not for many others as well but
to refresh those who need to hear this over and over before it can sink in . It is therefor in my mind , very relevant .

The last 4 administrations have done what they could to maneuver us into the abominable world government they envision. They all should have been wake-up calls. Thank God Obama overreached! Our heads would still be up our behinds.

It's as if history just sped up. Pray and study your scriptures. Lots of answers to where we are now and what's coming can be found.

Right you are Teresa! Nobody bothered to define Obama's "fundamentally transform" verbiage. Now it appears we are learning more about his "transparent government" too. And here I thought this, Obama's definition of "transparency" to have been only for the enemy on the battlefield.

QuestGirl Loc: Jayhawk Country

You're a man that understands the definition of the word "is" to be.

You can't fix what should be, you can only fix what "is" to be!!!

Obamacare wasn't socialized medicine. As usual, you conservatives haven't figured a single thing out--much less how to replace Obamacare...

The 8 years of BHO, pafret, was our necessary 21 century Western free market's method of "separating the wheat from the chaff." Another controlled "crash test," that keeps America strong and agile. No other nation in the world has the balls to put a real-live (D)ummy in the drivers-seat, and take our republic to the limit of insanity, just to see why not, ever again. Sure there are some loose-ends to tie-up in America, but President "45" Trump (R), is on a near sleepless "mission from God," and "WE" did swimmingly, and came-back stronger than ever. There was actually MANY "red-carpet" greetings from the current Muslim and Jewish and Christian "free-world." And our enemies, primarily radical Islam {and, of course, anti-American "lefty"}, CAN'T STAND IT!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO REP. TREY GOWDY (R), AND GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT DONALD J. {BORN AGAIN} TRUMP (R); JUST LIKE THE WEATHER!!!

Really? How was it not socialized medicine?

BTW...I know how to replace it in a way that would make sense to you.
