A Quick Thought on Obama's Campaign

By Richard Penney

Call me cynical if you like. Many American people are idiots. They couldn’t tell you anything that’s in the Constitution, American history, current laws, the rights they are given by our laws, the rights being taken away by new laws…they can’t even name the speaker of the house. They don’t know global issues or current history in the middle east or anywhere else for that matter. Most people couldn’t point to Iraq on a map. So,  Mr. Obama is using this. He is counting on stupidity to win him an election.  People are right about him not being anything new…just the same crap with a new shiny wrapping. However, because he has pop culture appeal, his camp is going to use revisionist history to make his socialism seem new, shiny and hopeful.

He knows people are too stupid and lazy to question what he says, so he makes up "facts" as though it were written in stone...like they were hard facts of history.  He acts as if obvious long established truths are his new thoughts. It’s amazing. So, as he speaks in debates (and with the help of the moderators framing questions on false / questionable premises) Obama will use grandiose words to literally trick the stupid into believing in something false and coming out with even more fervent support from them. It is more subtle than I make it sound, but it is there.

If he were to come out today and say the reason the country was founded was to act on values that make sure the poor of the world were taken care of, the jerks who do nothing but sit around and make sure their porch is still standing everyday while waiting for Uncle Sam to send their unearned allowance would believe it to be so. Anyone with half a brain knows this to be false, but that's the point. There are a lot of people who don't think or just aren't concerned. Obama is counting on this to be able to talk a lot and say nothing...to manipulate the truth with semantics and double talk.

Unfortunelately for the old US of A, countries with dumb voters will eventually fall.  When people vote for what free lunch they are promised instead of voting for freedom and liberty, governments spend themselves into destruction.  Of course, this is because most politicians are soul-less sociopathis charlatans that live for reasons more hollow than Nancy Pelosi's head.

Speaking of hollow, the hole in Obama’s strategy is that self-reliant men with real brains who do real work & take on real responsibility hate this kind of rubbish. Of course, Mr. Obama wasn’t counting on those votes anyway.
