Interpreting Election Results
Recently, a poll question was asked on The O’Reilly Factor: Do you want Obama’s presidency to be successful? The responders could select “yes” or “no.”
It’s a loaded question because it requires the viewers to define success before voting. Few Americans want Obama to fail, if failure entails the collapse of capitalism, the elimination of the right to a secret ballot, censorship, open borders and abandoning our national security.
His ardent supporters, including most of the mainstream media, would view these results as positives. Thus, if the intent of the question was to measure good will, it failed miserably.
A more important question, the one that will define his presidency, is why does Obama believe he was elected? That’s the question that will stalk him from January 20, 2009 until the next national election in 2010.
The collapse of Wall Street, blamed on President Bush and the Republicans, was the preeminent event that secured his success. Terrorism, national security, Iraq, illegal immigration, energy and the environment were swept away by the prospect of economic doom.
His ardent supporters believe the election was a referendum on the liberalization of the country. This vocal minority expects to be rewarded for its support. Obama’s cabinet selections suggest that he understands that liberal promiscuity is a political dead end. But he can’t turn his back to the progressive secularists.
This explains his appointment of Carol Browner to the post of Global Warming Czar. She is an avowed socialist and a member of the Center for American Progress. This organization is demanding $300 billion to address its fictitious global warming forecasts, and draconian legislation to restrict energy use by US families and businesses.
Her environmental recipe would starve Americans to insure the energy consumption of every person on the planet be equal. This wacko, beloved by the mainstream media, will attend Cabinet meetings. Let’s hope that Obama realizes her potential for being the government’s number one security leak.
Obama’s commitment to close Gitmo, end rendition practices, eliminate aggressive questioning of terrorists and to stop government eavesdropping on conversations between known terrorists and US citizens will please Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid and every other moron who doesn’t equate terrorism to war.
If these policies are instituted, a second major attack on our shores will end Obama’s career and the lives of countless Americans. His willingness to take these risks to appease the leftwing was forgotten before the election. Let’s hope he understands the mainstream media won’t be able to conceal his complicity.
It doesn’t appear that the majority of Americans believe his $1.3 trillion, bailout prescription will benefit anyone not on welfare, or living in penthouses. And Senator Schumer just confirmed that Obama knew his campaign pledge ($3000 tax credit) to small businesses to hire new employees was an inside joke.
Let’s hope America’s citizens don’t have to experience economic disaster before Obama realizes why he was elected. And let’s hope the country is able to dig out of the hole he creates, if he continues to please Nancy, Barney and Harry.
Scary, isn’t it?
