Nero in the White House

Three significant historical events have been
eclipsed by Obama: 1) Jimmy Carter will no longer be looked upon as the worst
president in American history; 2) Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton will no longer
be recognized as the greatest liars in presidential history; 3) Clinton's stain
on Monica's dress, and what that did to the White
House in general and the office of the president specifically, will forever
pale in comparison to the stain and stench of Obama.
I need not spend much time on the failure of Obama
as president. His tenure has been a failure on
every measurable level. So much so, in fact, that some of the staunchest, most
respected liberal Democrats and
Democratic supporters have not only openly criticized him – some even more
harshly than this essayist – but they have called for him to step down.
Richard Nixon's words "I am not a
crook," punctuated with his involvement in Watergate, and Bill Clinton's
finger-wagging as he told one of the most pathetic lies in presidential
history, in the aftermath of Obama, will be viewed as mere prevarications.
Mr. Nixon and Clinton lied to save their
backsides. Although, I would argue there are no plausible explanations for
doing what they did, I could entertain arguments pursuant to understanding
their rationales for lying. But in the case of Obama, he lies because he is a
liar. He doesn't only lie to cover his misdeeds – he lies to get his way. He
lies to belittle others and to make himself look presentable at their expense.
He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother,
his father and his wife. He lies and bullies to keep his background secret. His
lying is congenital and compounded by socio-psychological factors of his life.
Never in my life, inside or outside of politics,
have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most
mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of
his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is
unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to
sainthood.
As the stock markets were crashing, taking with them the remaining life saving of untold tens of thousands, Obama was hosting his own birthday celebration, which was an event of epicurean splendidness. The shamelessness of the event was that it was not a state dinner to welcome foreign dignitaries, nor was it to honor an American accomplishment – it was to honor the Pharaoh, Barack Hussein Obama. The event's sole purpose was for the Pharaoh to have his loyal subjects swill wine, indulge in gluttony and behavior unfit to take place on the property of taxpayers, as they suffer. It was of a magnitude comparable to that of Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski's $2 million birthday extravaganza for its pure lack of respect for the people. |

Permit me to digress momentarily. The U.S. Capitol
and the White House were built with the intent
of bringing awe and respect to America and her people. They were also built
with the intent of being the greatest of equalizers. I can tell you, having
personally been to both, there is a moment of awe and humility associated with
being in the presence of the history of those buildings. They are to be honored
and inscribed into our national psyche, not treated as a Saturday night house party
at Chicago's Cabrini-Green.
The people of America own that home Obama and his
wife continue to debase with their pan-ghetto behavior. It is clear that Obama
and family view themselves as royalty, but
they're not. They are employees of "we the people," who are suffering
because of his failed policies. What message does this behavior send to those
who today are suffering as never before?
What message does it send to all Americans who are struggling? Has anyone
stopped to think what the stock market downturn forebodes for those 80 million
baby boomers who will be retiring in the next period of years? Is there a
snowball's chance in the Sahara that every news program on the air would
applaud this behavior if it were George W. Bush? To that point, do you remember
the media thrashing Bush took for having a barbecue at the White House?
Like Nero – who was only slightly less
debaucherous than Caligula – with wine on his lips Obama treated "we the
people" the way Caligula treated those over whom he lorded.
Many in America wanted to be proud when the first
person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a
congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life,
failed policies, intimidation and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in
political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an
entitlement – while America's people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.
