Cockatoo Charlatan

Ronald Reagan spoke in glowing terms about the country he loved, the United States of America. For Reagan, America represented the shining city on the hill "whose beacon of light guides freedom loving people everywhere".

Out on the campaign trail, it is difficult to listen to President Obama and his deception regarding the American dream. 

One common example is noted when Obama informs the crowd that "at the core of the American experience that binds us together, the idea that no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, this place, America, is a place where you can make it if you try."

Obama finds that this core experience is at risk due to his perception of the top down economic principles of Republicans, and he seeks re-election in order to preserve "that basic bargain that says here we all deserve a fair shot, and everybody should do their fair share and everybody should play by the same set of rules".

American is that place, and it is at risk due to the crony capitalism set forth by Obama and his administration, where equal opportunity is stretched to equal outcomes determined by technocrats in Washington.  President Obama continuously insinuates that America in its founding is a barrier anyone to achieve anything, that government is hampered by limiting what the government can do instead of imposing what is should do.  Even our First Lady said she was never proud of her country until the election of her husband. 

Obama is out to change that, to mold America to his hearts desire and help make America a place where anybody can succeed regardless of their race, gender, religion or any other factor with government calling the shots. In contrast, Reagan thought government was not the solution to the problem, he thought government was the problem.

At least until Obama set out to embark on class warfare promoting division among our citizenry, America was a place where anybody can reach their dreams, and success was championed.

Although I am down right confused as to how a charlatan smooth talking empty suit like Obama could be elected President of the United States, our citizenry voted him. Given his history, this guy should kiss the ground of this great country every morning.

Glenn Beck examines the upbringing of President Obama, and if his story does not state the case that America is the shining city on the hill Reagan spoke of, nothing will.  Watch Beck at his best:



While Obama has lived what America can offer rivaled by few, the reality of his policies seek out to impose a controlling nanny state idea of government, because the technocrats no better than the ordinary citizens how lives need to be lived to maximize the experience.

In reality, this economic and social game plan reduces freedom, innovation, production and thus prosperity, offering a contracting economic future.  It is the limited governmental principles which provide basis for a freedom which allows a aimless child to turn his life around and achieve great things.  There could be no better example of that than President Obama although he does not know it.
