I don’t think he hates ALL democracy. I think he LOVES the part that got him elected, he just hates the parts where the other side has the right to speak their mind and be a part of the process.
A few days ago, Obama mentioned:
“We’ve got some work to do. I don’t mind, by the way, being responsible. I expect to be held responsible for these issues because I’m the president,” Obama said. “But I don’t want the folks that created the mess — I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them just to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. ”I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking,” Obama said.
I wonder which people he was talking about? Was he talking about the Democrat controlled House and Senate for the past two years? Was he talking about Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi, who have spent themselves silly since 2006? Maybe he was even talking about himself, passing a $787 Billion “stimulus” package for “shovel ready” projects that are yet to materialize.
No. I’m sure that’s not it. I’m sure he’s talking about the previous administration. Even there, when you look close, the final things Bush did came at Obama’s behest. Things like the auto bailout… lobbied for by the President-elect Obama. Medicare prescription drug benefit, co-sponsored by staunch conservative Ted Kennedy… wait a minute.
I’ll be the first to admit that Dubya was by no means a fiscal conservative. I’ve often said that there hasn’t been a fiscal conservative in office since January 20, 1989. But now, as if Obama has been the picture of fiscal responsibility, he wants the other side to, “get out of the way so we can clean up the mess.”
In case you wondered, cleaning up the mess means sending union goons to rough upthose who would speak out against Obamacare. It means breaking his promise to allow 5 days of public comment before voting on a bill, especially when they come at a cost of $787 Billion, or at the cost of the energy industry in this country via Cap-n-Tax.
In case you hadn’t figured it out, Obama has all the answers, knows how to fix every problem, and romps with the unicorns in a pixie dust laugh storm. He just doesn’t give a rip what you think or have to say. This isn’t, after all, about you. This is in every way about him. It always has been, and as long as he’s in office, it always will be.
