Is Barack Obama too big to fail?
That is the question we must
ask ourselves as we ponder why a man, who by all accounts is so
completely unqualified to be president of the United States, continues
to enjoy such high approval ratings and garner the support of the
masses who put him into office.
Let's face facts. Obama came out
of nowhere, a community organizer from Chicago whose associations with
such disreputable characters such as the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and
Bill Ayers went virtually unchallenged by the throngs of supporters who
fawned over him throughout the campaign. Like a freight train, he ran
over every attempt to challenge his credibility with fancy rhetoric and
prepared speeches. The few times he was caught off guard, his gaffes
were ignored because to do so, would have meant being called a racist.
Upon
his coronation as president, his ambitious agenda was put into high
gear. And even though the Democrat controlled congress and some of his
staunchest supporters began feeling uneasy about some of his plans,
(witness the closing of Gitmo and the transfer of detainees to our
shores, and his apologetic attitude to our Islamic enemies and western
Europe for America's arrogance), the lovefest, at least on the outside,
continued.
Even his far left socialist ideology makes some
uncomfortable. But the problem is, too much has been invested in Barack
Obama at this stage of the game.
Dick Morris, in a recent
column, compared the adoration of the man from Kenya to a recently
married bride who is beginning to question whether or not she made the
right choice. She is starting to see some things in her new spouse that
give her second thoughts, but she doesn't want do bolt from the
marriage just yet because to do so would force her to admit her
mistake. So she goes into a period of denial and pretends that
everything is ok.
In Morris's scenario, however, eventually the
bride comes to the realization that the marriage is not going to work
and she leaves him. Morris thinks that Obama's base will soon wake up
from their self-induced coma of ignorance and turn on him.
But hold the phone.
Like
some of the institutions that are the recipients of government
salvation, Obama is considered too big to fail. Too much has been
invested in this Manchurian president. So despite everything he says
and does, not because of it, Obama will continue to be propped up by
those who fought so hard to put this usurper into the Oval Office.
Obama is getting a bailout. And our grandchildren will pay for it for years to come.
