The Obama Syndrome is in effect one of the most prevalent cases of the Cult
of Personality since JFK. He is a man who has had little experience in the
private sector yet his biggest fans and I daresay worshipers are those who are
the working blue color people of this nation.
To say that three weeks into his Presidency and he is coming off as a
complete failure is something that only the informed constituent can actually
see. For the most part his legion of worshipping Obamamaniacs hang and breath
on every word he has to say. Yesterday at what seemed to be a campaign stop in Florida he had one
Grandmother ask him to give her a home and a car and a kitchen. Of course he
couldn’t miss the photo-op and he went over to give her a kiss on the head. It
wasn’t widely reported but the wife of a state representative donated the first
house she ever bought to this Grandmother and her 37 year old son. The media
also failed to report that the state representative and his wife were
conservative
Republicans. Somehow it was reported that Obama bought her a house. I guess
the urban legend has taken hold and he really is the messiah to the uninformed.
At the same rally a man who said he was in school and has worked at
McDonald’s for the last 4 years complained about that very job and asked what
better benefits he would be soon receiving. Of course the next day he was
offered an internship at a radio station and the offer to call a sports game at
a later time. Once again Obama saved a whelp of a man from having to toil away
his life at Micky D’s.
It is somewhat interesting to note that McDonald’s did give him 4 years of
employment at which time he could have searched for another job at any time if
he so chose to do so. I wonder what the CEO’s at McDonald’s are thinking of how
Obama and this ungrateful employee treated their company on the national or
world stage?
The sad part about this whole affair comes with the fact that a great
majority of the American people are only interested in the 30 second sound-bite
or the quick news cast that glosses over the details in order to create
sensationalism to sell papers or make ratings. The facts are utterly lost in
the white noise of that which is in all honesty very inconsequential.
We are now very close to the point where 50% of the voting population is
more interested in what is in it for them in the here and now over what is best
for the country or the principles to which this country was founded on. In
essence that means that we are at the tipping point where half the population
has now figured out how to control the purse strings of congress in their favor
and those principles that are a deep part of this country are discarded in
socialistic greed.
