Figured it out, yet?

It really is difficult to know where to begin. I suppose we could start with John Kerry’s pronouncement that climate change is as dangerous to the world as nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranians and North Koreans, or chemical weapons in the hands of Baathists, or legislature in the hands of John McCain.

If not Kerry’s startling revelation, then perhaps we should talk about Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama’s conspiracy to drive Californians into drought, which given their supposed concern about climate change phenomena, forces one to scratch their head. Yes, by all means save the smelt and to hell with tens of thousands of people or tens of billions of dollars lost to the state and national economy. Unfortunately for Californians, the entire state legislature is composed of morons exactly like Pelosi, and Boxer, and Mammy Feinstein.

Or we could discuss Obama’s intention to shut down an additional 20% of our coal industry, which will drive the cost of electricity up by 70 to 80% and increase unemployment further. This while tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer funded stimulus found its way into the green industries, which all went bankrupt. There was nothing to help America’s employment picture, though. No, the term “shovel ready” was only an inside joke.

And how about those youngsters, eh? In spite of their college degrees and advanced degrees, there will be no jobs for them. They’ll remain at home with Mom and Dad and play computer games while the Obama’s continue to pursue their taxpayer funded jetsetter life-style. Screw America.

And by golly, if the chief executive doesn’t like it when Congress exercises its prerogative, you know—as set forth in the Constitution, then he’ll just anoint himself King of America; he has a pen and a phone, you know.

Or is this all no more than a ploy to change our domestic conversation away from Obama’s hopey-dopey leftist failures in advance of the 2014 elections? I suspect this is the case, but in spite of all these examples of depressing leadership, which is only the tip of our national malaise, 37% of the American people are happy with President Obama’s performance as this country’s chief executive. More than one-third … My gosh, I never realized we had that many federal government employees.

Have you figured it out yet?  We're all living at the animal farm, and guess who's become an absolute tyrant ...
