Obama’s ‘Hope And Change’ At Work: Most Americans (Correctly) Believe Our Best Days Are Now Behind Us

History reminds us of a time – not all that long ago – when a charismatic leader promised a fundamental transformation that brought hope to a nation.

The leaders’s name was Adolf Hitler.  It didn’t end well.  Seriously.

The kind of fascistic irrationally euphoric Utopian rhetoric of Obama

“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal… This was the moment — this was the time — when we came together to remake this great nation …”

– hasn’t seemed to work out very well in the real world.  I mean who talks like that but a fascist demagogue promising a false Utopia, anyway?  Not that most liberals have any clue whatsoever about the real world, mind you.

The evidence is crystal clear that Obama is a fascist and a demagogue.  But the mainstream media is every bit as unlikely to tell the truth about Obama as Joseph Goebbels’ Ministry of Propaganda was likely to tell the truth about their Fuhrer.

The New York Times once said – as part of the irrational fascistic hype surrounding Obama – that:

WASHINGTON — At the core of Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is a promise that he can transcend the starkly red-and-blue politics of the last 15 years, end the partisan and ideological wars and build a new governing majority.

Did Obama ever once come close to actually fulfilling that “core presidential promise”???

How about this: within 24 days of Obama assuming the presidency, The Wall Street Journal was rightly able to say this about our “transcending” figure:

President Barack Obama has turned fearmongering into an art form. He has repeatedly raised the specter of another Great Depression. First, he did so to win votes in the November election. He has done so again recently to sway congressional votes for his stimulus package

It wasn’t even a month after assuming the presidency that Obama began to dismiss the Republicans he had promised to reach out to:

“Don’t come to the table with the same tired arguments and worn ideas that helped to create this crisis,” he admonished in a speech.

It was barely only a month after assuming the presidency that Obama began to thumb his nose at the Republicans he had promised to reach out to:

 When [Republican Rep. Eric] Cantor tried to justify his own position, Obama responded: “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.”

Were those really the words that would “transcend the starkly red-and-blue politics of the last 15 years”???  In taking that stand, was there actually any chance whatsoever that Obama would “end the partisan and ideological wars”???  Is anyone frankly so morally and intellectually stupid to see these tactics as they way to “build a new governing majority”???

And of course, shortly after the American people rejected Obama in the largest shallacking in modern American history and voted against the Democrat Party in droves, Nancy Pelosi began to further degenerate into fascism (where elections shouldn’t matter unless the fascists win them), saying: “elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do.”

And then we proceeded to see Democrats and liberals behave far more like fascists than people who gave a damn about elections or the consequences of elections in Wisconsin.

I think of the fact that Hitler never won more than 37% of the vote.  But the moment he seized power, “elections didn’t matter as much as they should have.”

Barack Obama is a man who has personally repeatedly demonized George W. Bush, Republicans, entire industries, businesses, and even medical doctors (remember how they amputate people’s feet and yank out their tonsils just to illegitimately profit?).  As a Senator, he personally attacked George Bush for his failure of leadership for having to raise the debt ceiling; now he’s personally attacking anyone who acts as cynically and despicably as he acted.  Obama personally demonized George Bush for trampling on the Constitution for Iraq even though Congress had directly authorized his actions; but this same cynical demagogue would attack Libya without any congressional authorization whatsoever.  Obama lectured Republicans that it hurt the country and the essential political debate to demagogue the other side with health care, only to viciously attack the Republicans the first time he thought it would politically help him to do so.  Rep Ryan – whom he invited to his speech just to single him out for attack – said, “What we got yesterday was the opposite of what [Obama] said is necessary to fix this problem.”  And Obama doesn’t just demonize his opponents; he falsely demonizes his opponents by telling demonstrable lies.

As I said, Obama is a fascist bully and a cynical demagogue.  And yet the mainstream media has the unmitigated chutzpah to continue to insanely depict this cynical, lying, hypocrite demagogue as an inspirational figure.

The American people and the mushroom have something in common: both are kept in the dark and fed manure.

So you can understand why the American people – for all the information available to them – are so terribly ignorant about just what the hell is going on in our political system.

But as misinformed and lied-to as Americans are when it comes to the sea of lies they are presented with as “news,” they are still aware that fewer of them have jobs, fewer of them have homes, their food cost more, their fuel cost more and that the quality of their lives are rapidly slipping away under the policies of a failed president and his failed party.

America’s Best Days
Those Confident That America’s Best Days Lie Ahead Down to 31%
Monday, April 25, 2011

Voter confidence that the nation’s best days are still to come has fallen to its lowest level ever.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that just 31% believe America’s best days are in the future. That’s down three points from last month and is the lowest result found in polling since late 2006.

Fifty-three percent (53%) believe America’s best days are in the past, also the highest measurement in over four years. Sixteen percent (16%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Separate polling finds that only 22% of Likely Voters believe the United States is now heading in the right direction. That ties the lowest level found during Barack Obama’s presidency.

While majorities of Republicans (68%) and voters not affiliated with either major political party (52%) believe America’s best days are in the past, a plurality of Democrats (45%) thinks its best days still lie ahead.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of white voters believe America’s best days have come and gone, but the same number of black voters (58%) feel the opposite is true.

[…]

And of course, it is true: America’s days truly ARE behind us as long as Barack Hussein Obama and as long as Democrats are able to continue to lead.  Either Democrats will go down, or America will go down.

But, liberals say, it was BUSH who made the economy fail.  Two things: 1) how many years should that line of garbage continue to succeed?  And 2) it was never true to begin with (also see here).

Do you know that Democrats had total control of both the House and the Senate from 2006 until 2010???

George Bush tried SEVENTEEN TIMES to warn Congress that unless we got control of the out-of-control Democrat-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the out-of-control housing and housing mortgage market that it was poisoning with piles of bad debt, our economy would go under.  The problem had festered because Bush had reappointed the first black Fannie Mae CEO because of political correctness.  Franklin Raines was a failure and a corrupt fraud who disguised massive debt.  Further, fearing the same political correctness, Republicans had allowed themselves to be repeatedly stymied in their attempts to reform the Government Sponsored Enterprises Fannie and Freddie as Democrats screamd “racism.”  John McCain was if anything even more clear in 2006 when there was still time to fix the developing crisis.  McCain wrote (in 2006):

Congress chartered Fannie and Freddie to provide access to home financing by maintaining liquidity in the secondary mortgage market. Today, almost half of all mortgages in the U.S. are owned or guaranteed by these GSEs. They are mammoth financial institutions with almost $1.5 Trillion of debt outstanding between them. With the fiscal challenges facing us today (deficits, entitlements, pensions and flood insurance), Congress must ask itself who would actually pay this debt if Fannie or Freddie could not?

McCain asked, “Who would actually pay this massive debt for these incredibly risky liberal policies if Fannie or Freddie could not?’  And we now have the answer to that question, don’t we???

Even the liberal New York Times recognized the threat posed by Fannie and Freddie.  And Peter Wallison all but predicted the collapse as early as 1999:

In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980′s.

From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ”If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.”

 The same Peter Wallison who had predicted the disaster from 1999 wrote a September 23, 2008 article in the Wall Street Journal entitled “Blame Fannie Mae and Congress For the Credit Mess.”

Wallison was 100% correct, and had the FACT that he had accurately predicted the collapse to give him further credibility.  Democrats were 100% wrong.  Barney Frank was one of the unanimous Nazi-goosetepping Democrats who said stuff like this:

These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Basically a MONTH before Fannie and Freddie went bankrupt and started the entire housing mortgage market collapse in 2008, Barney Frank was still singing the same idiotic tune:

REP. BARNEY FRANK, D-MASS.: “I think this is a case where Fannie and Freddie are fundamentally sound, that they are not in danger of going under. They’re not the best investments these days from the long-term standpoint going back. I think they are in good shape going forward.

They’re in a housing market. I do think their prospects going forward are very solid.”

John McCain correctly predicted a disaster.  Barney Frank was still spouting outrageous lies just one month before the bottom fell out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and then caused the bottom to fall out of the entire economy.  Republicans were right and Democrats were disasterously wrong.  And the American people responded by electing Democrats and purging Republicans.  Because we were lied to, and because we have become a bad people who believe lies.

Democrats blocked every single move by both the Republicans and by George Bush.  They actually threatened filibusters to prevent Bush from fixing the broken system that failed and it was DEMOCRATS who took our economy down the drain.

And Senator Barack Obama had more campaign money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in a shorter time than anyone in Congress.  And he also had more campaign money from Lehman Brothers – a dirty Wall Street player that went belly up – in a shorter time than anyone else in Congress.  Obama was bought and owned by the people who blew up our economy.

Only a nation of fools would have voted for this inexperienced Marxist fool to run our nation.  But a nation of fools believed the worst media propaganda campaign since Joseph Goebbels plied his trade.

Even fools feel pain when they keep getting burned, though.  And Obama is burning America alive.

We are slipping.  Even fools can feel it:

China’s economy to surpass that of US by 2016: IMF

BEIJING: The Chinese economy will surpass that of the US by 2016, the International Monetary Fund ( IMF )) has predicted.According to the IMF’s forecast, based on “purchasing power parities”, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) will rise from $11.2 trillion in 2011 to $19 trillion in 2016, while the American economy will increase from $15.2 trillion to $18.8 trillion.

China’s share of the global economy will ascend from 14 percent to 18 percent, while the US’ share will descend to 17.7 percent, China Daily reported.

The Economist had predicted in December 2010 that China would overtake the US in terms of nominal GDP in 2019.

 At the same time all of the other growing disasters is taking place, we have a crisis in the price of oil.  And Obama has done nothing but exacerbate that crisis with energy policies that are even more destructive than Jimmy Carter’s.

Do you feel your nation growing smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker?  That is the hope and change you voted for.

In the time that Obama has been president, we’ve gone from predicting China would overtake us by 2030, to 2019, to just five years away.  And mark my words, it will be moved up yet again, before they overtake Obama’s ignorant stupidity even faster than that.

Under Obama, and due to his immoral and criminally reckless policies, we are spending like fools and at the same time insanely inflating our money supply (under the euphamism of “qantitative easing” or QE2.  And here are the results:

Dollar’s Decline Speeds Up, With Risks for U.S.
BY TOM LAURICELLA

The U.S. dollar’s downward slide is accelerating as low interest rates, inflation concerns and the massive federal budget deficit undermine the currency.

With no relief in sight for the dollar on any of those fronts, the downward pressure on the dollar is widely expected to continue.
The dollar fell nearly 1% against a broad basket of currencies this week, following a drop of similar size last week. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index closed at its lowest level since August 2008, before the financial crisis intensified.

“The dollar just hasn’t had anything positive going for it,” said Alessio de Longis, who oversees the Oppenheimer Currency Opportunities Fund.

Thanks to your fool-in-chief president, your dollar is worth less and less.  And your gas and your food cost more and more.  Food now costs more than at any time since 1974, thanks to the Democrat messiah.

Or maybe he’s not such a fool.  Because maybe this is what he wanted all along.  Read this article on “the Cloward and Piven Strategy” created by liberals/progressives to implode America written in 2008 (you could also read my own article written in 2009).  And then see what top SEIU official Steven Lerner – who left the “workers of the world unite; it’s not just a slogan anymore” radical union at the same time #1 White House visitor Andy Stern did – had to say about deliberately trying to cause a financial crisis that will implode America.

The United States of America is dangerously close to complete collapse.  One wrong move, one piece of bad news, just one thing, could send us into a collapse that will be impossible to stop.

And we are either being led by a total fool, or even worse, we are being led by a man who is actively plotting to collapse America to impose a radical leftwing ideology, and who doesn’t care one iota more about the American people than Adolf Hitler cared about the German people.

I’m sure you have probably picked up on my angry tone.  I am angry; I’m beyond angry.  Why?  Because I see the beast foretold by the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation coming.  I see the collapse coming, and the Antichrist riding in on his white horse to save the day.  And I see that the same liberals, the same progressives, the same Democrats who caused this collapse will be the ones to welcome this coming world dictator.  And it will be these same Democrats who call for the American people to take his mark on their hands or on their foreheads so that they can join the rest of the world and buy and sell.

Rest assured, Obama’s reckless fiscal policies are not just undermining America; they are undermining the entire world.  The unrest in the Middle East (which again says “Last days as foretold by the Bible” all over it) is directly attributed to Obama’s monetary policies, according to the G-2o and the central banks.

Barack Obama is a false messiah.  The Democrat Partyis the party of hell.  And they are leading us to hell on earth right now.  Today.

And we are voting for hell.

You mark my words.  It won’t be long now.  The beast is coming.  And if you vote Democrat, you have already voted for him by paving the way for his soon-arrival.

Get ready for hell.

  1. Penumbra Says:

    It is a bit of surprise to me, that the problem of leftwing media that we have experienced in Sweden, as long as I can recall, now is a problem in the USA. But not much, because I have understood that journalists are a special kind of people – educated, philosophic thinkers interested in the social, political and environmental problems of the world, who are pretty much attracted to the leftwing liberal or socialistic ideas of how these problems can be solved.

    Once these kinds of people become a majority among the editorial staffs, they do not tolerate journalist with conservative ideas. My guess is that this process did start among the antiwar demonstrators during the Vietnam War and among the Civil Rights Movement but has slowly escalated to stupidity.

    Being Swedish and European, I may have misunderstood things, but that is what I think.

  2. Michael Eden Says:

    Penumbra,

    Good to hear from you again!

    I doubt very much if there is “a” account of the issue of liberal bias in journalism – particularly given that few journalists are willing to even accept that as true, and that many on the left complain constantly about a RIGHTWING bias dominating that media.

    So your account is probably as good as anyone’s.

    I think, like many things, journalism and propaganda and bias probably develop differently in every nation, and certainly in every culture. Which is to say it most likely developed differently in Sweden than it did in the U.S.

    So how did this issue happen in the U.S.?

    Well, first of all, I can demonstrate that it has been a long time building, and that American “journalism” has been colored with “propaganda” and “elitism” and bias for pretty much the entire 20th century. Here’s an article describing key formulators of “journalism” and their penchant for both propaganda and mind-control in favor of leftwing ideologies. It’s just right there.

    But is there more to say about it? And I think there is. I came across a fascinating Christianity Today issue that described how Christians started to withdraw from culture as Darwinism began to spread. There was a tacit agreement (that the secular humanists of course broke as soon as it was possible for them to do so) that Christians would stay out of the secularists’ faces if secularists would stay out of the Christians’ faces. That created a great deal of what followed right there: we never should have withdrawn like we did.

    Then, as a result of that Faustian bargain, Christians began to give to their churches and to the mission fields, and secular humanists (liberals) gave to now-secularized universities – particularly schools of education and law – and to organizations such as the ACLU and to unions and to liberal political organizations that could influence government.

    I would submit that Christians believe in God, and liberals believe in government. I want God in control of my life and the government out of it; liberals want government in control of their lives, and God out of it.

    Christians want to teach the Bible and biblical ethics in a free society; liberals want to influence the government to shape and control people’s lives.

    A quote I draw from Walter Lippmann:

    Walter Lippmann described a “revolution” in “the practice of democracy” as “the manufacture of consent” has become “a self-conscious art and a regular organ of popular government.” This is a natural development when public opinion cannot be trusted: “In the absence of institutions and education by which the environment is so successfully reported that the realities of public life stand out very sharply against self-centered opinion, the common interests very largely elude public opinion entirely, and can be managed only by a specialized class whose personal interests reach beyond the locality,” and are thus able to perceive “the realities.” These are the men of best quality, who alone are capable of social and economic management.

    And Edward Bernays:

    “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”

    And I would submit that there is simply a deep-seated drive in liberal elites to feel that they should have power and control over government, to use it as a mechanism to impose their will over a stupid and naive society. It’s as though it is innate, inborn, pathological.

  3. Penumbra Says:

    Excellent answer, sir, thank you!

    I have identified Swedish media (and the intellectual elite) as the strongest component in the secularization of our country. Sweden is the most secular country in the civilized world (at least that is what we are told, and I have no doubts about it). So, I am trying to understand the process of deceiving the population to atheism. You have made a good point.

    Swedish mainstream media is either socialistic or liberal and they have enormous influence on the people and on our politicians. By the way, one of their favorite subjects of criticism (more like what I would call “hate campaigns”) is the American rightwing Christianity.

    I am trying hard to make the small remains of true Christians here, to take active part in the political debate, but it is like talking to the wind. I am not giving up, though.

  4. truthisfreedom Says:

    Ever since Adam and Eve Satan has tempted humankind in like fashion the lust of the eye and knowledge. Socialism is Satans last day card to hoodwink desperate ignorant souls. Those who Know God, the Father of Jesus Christ, shall do great exploits and be hated by the liberal, progressive deceivers. Jesus said BROAD (liberal anything goes but the truth) IS THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION…
    Indeed liberalism is preparing the government dependent to receive the beast and his mark. Liberalism is the path of the Christ less and thus antichrist in nature.

    A future and a hope…

  5. Michael Eden Says:

    Good points.

    If you want to see socialism in the Bible, and how God feels about it, just look to the Tower of Babel.

    Glenn Beck, with the help of a rabbi, made some excellent observations about that.

  6. Truth Unites... and Divides Says:

    “Get ready for hell.”

    Michael, if I may be so forward, if you have children, how are you and your family getting ready for “hell” on earth?

  7. Michael Eden Says:

    I hesitate to do that, lest I be seen or accused of providing financial advice. I’m rather careful to avoid doing things like that, Truth Unites.

    I would say three things, though: 1) Try to store food and grow your own. It’s easy to buy food, and then use it before the expiration date and rotate with newer food. It’s not a bad idea for any garden variety disaster (we live in an earthquake zone, for instance). I also believe passionately in starting a garden. We’d even be raising chickens for eggs if our zoning would allow for it. 2) If you believe that the long-term is bleak, invest accordingly. Saving is not necessarily the best option, as a devaluing dollar essentially makes the dollars you saved worth less. Rather, invest with the strategy of hedging or even betting against a devaluing dollar and a poor long-term economy. Investing is a very personalized activity; it depends how much you have, how much you’re willing to risk, when you invest and how bad you really think things will get.

    For example, if you invested heavily in gold and silver in August 2008 after the Democrat National Convention when you realized that everything was in favor of Obama and McCain was mounting a pathetic campaign, you’d be in a very different investment situation now. Gold and silver have appreciated incredibly since then. Investment in gold and silver is a very different equation now. That said, I think the value of gold and silver will start climbing back up after it’s recent dip. BUT THAT IS ALWAYS A BET.

    Also, for what it’s worth, I personally don’t believe in buying coins, because in my experience they are just hard to sell and get what they are worth. But someone who knows a lot more than me might well disagree. People who buy physical gold (particularly coins) are often thinking the economy could truly go into the crapper, and they will literally be using the coins for bartering, on my view. They are also trying to purchase commodities in a way the government cannot easily trace and claim – as FDR actually did during his misrule.

    And 3) I would say to really watch your purchases. Avoid debt – particularly on anything with a variable interest rate. Try to simplify your life.

    4) is most important of all. Get your heart and your mind right with Jesus Christ. I believe in the Rapture of believers, and I believe it will happen soon. But that said, we don’t know how bad the economy could get before that trumpet sounds and we’re suddenly meeting Jesus in the air. Don’t assume that the Rapture will come before things “get really bad.” And I say that because the Antichrist appears AFTER the world goes to pot. He will be a guy who has a miraculous solution for everything terrible that has happened, such that the world will worship him. We simply don’t know how long it will be between the economy – and the economy of the world – tanking and the Antichrist appearing and the timing of the Rapture.

  8. Truth Unites... and Divides Says:

    Thanks much Michael! I appreciate the brief tips!

  9. Michael Eden Says:

    I’m glad you’re looking into it, Truth.

    A collapse is coming. I have a difficult time seeing America not having a major MAJOR collapse within the next 10-15 years.

    The only question, in my mind, is how likely it will happen even SOONER.
