A Silver Bullet

A few weeks back, as I was about to leave for work, I caught a package presented on FOX & Friends as a retrospective on how the hope and change of the Obama administration has worked out for America. The content was sadly accurate, painting a grim picture of our current position. So illustrative was it, that the FOX producer who put the package together was almost fired.

Many found it to be a hit piece, something the mainstream media assaults the right with on a daily basis. FOX issued a statement of regret for airing the piece, as the powers that be at FNC found it stepped outside of their fair and balanced coverage. Fair and balanced sure, but what happened to the the truth?

Check out the package, complete with the stunning and documented facts of where Hope and Change has taken Uncle Sam:




Sadly, perhaps due to war fatigue or fear of the financial shock waves of bursting bubbles, Americans were duped by a catchy slogan of hope and change from a dashing young man with soaring rhetoric who articulated hope for the future through the a fundamental transformation, but what kind of transformation and change were we hoping for?

With the mainstream media cheerleading Obama, few sought learning from the history, positions and associations of the man who would direct the fundamental change. What did Obama mean when he spoke about fundamental transformation at The University of Missouri five days before the election? What did Michelle Obama mean when she quipped our history and traditions would have to change under Obama, and that Obama would require you to be participatory?

The answers were there. Credit Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck among the few who sounded the alarm.

Fast forwarding to today, the Obama tenure has been a complete disaster. The economic numbers are simply awful with no reasonable plan in existence for recovery, our position in the world has greatly diminished as we friend foes and cozy up to enemies and we have made zero advances in stabilizing our social fabric, instead dividing our diversity.

Most think this has been a painful exercise in incompetence, but in fact, this has been a victory for Obama, a silver bullet unnoticed by the masses. Obama and his team hoped to usher in a crashing of the system, which as the wreckage was surveyed, a battle worn electorate would seek governmental assistance resulting in change from capitalism to socialism. Yes, the more the plans fail the more the planners plan.

Given another term, the transformation would be complete, and freedom will be greatly diminished as those high level government officials implement policies protecting you as they know better than you how you should live your life. NYC Mayor Micheal Bloomberg represents a timely example of this. Excuse me while a take a swig from my 64 ounce Diet Coke Big Gulp!

Wisconsin signals America may have been awoken. Our future of freedom, averting a dictatorship, depends on it.
