To those who thought that during the 2008 campaign, Obama was a moderate or "staunchly conservati
ve" and wasn't trying to deceive anyone, what did you think he meant when you heard him saying during the campaign that people had to stay involved after the election, that they couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect that he would do what they had hoped. He said that there were powerful interests working against what the people wanted, and if We The People wanted Obama to do our bidding, we would have to MAKE HIM DO IT.
What did you think he was talking about? Did you think he was trying to deceive the liberals and progressiv
es into believing that he was one of them?
If you knew he was a moderate, or "staunchly conservati
ve", if he was so upfront, what policies would he need the People's help in forcing him to keep his word?
Obama got into office by misleading Democratic voters. He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton. It's why even his 'most ardent admirers' still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican
. He convinced centrists that he was a centrist. He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist. [News Flash: The debate is over:
"Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat"]Each party's candidates use high-price
d public relations firms, with spinmeiste
rs crafting sophistica
ted propaganda campaigns to con voters into believing what isn't true. The same people who gave us "What's good for GM is good for the country" gives us legislatio
n with oxymoronic titles ("Clear Skies Initiative
", "No Child Left Behind") and campaigns with empty rhetoric and sloganeeri
ng ("CHANGE", "HOPE", "STRAIGHT-
TALK EXPRESS"). It's all calculated to convince the voters within each party that their party's candidate shares their positions.
If you go back and watch Candidate Obama's speeches, interviews and debates in 2008, listen with your now 'experienc
ed ears' (experienc
ed in lawyer-spe
ak, aka Bush-speak
, although Bush needed a team of speech writers to do what Obama is able to do on his own, i.e., think on his feet), I think you'll see that Obama spoke carefully and precisely to give people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote.
The truth is that Obama's nothing but a politician
, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word. In the 'used car salesman' sense. It turns out that doing what's right for transnatio
nal corporatio
ns is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards
. He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican
, "What's good for GM is good for America." He did a snow job on everybody.
