Deconstructing Obama

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Grant M has sent me an email that has several interesting points.

I think he now owes the white voter..if I where Black I would be worrying..Remember Bubba Clinton started Welfare Reform..he owes Blacks nothing......

I think Grant is right in that H could not have won without the white voters, but H isn't Bubba. Clinton moved to the center because he was more of the center, especially after Waco, Somali and his tax increase chopped his poll ratings sharply. Plus, Hillary's botched attempt at being Copresident must have scared the dickens out of him. He had no real ideology.

And I agree with what Grant was trying to write in "he owes the blacks nothing," but I believe Grant meant H owes them everything, but doesn't have to pay them anything.

That the black voter has been willing to support Democrats with no real reward outside of putting up with the likes of Jesse and Al is a fact. That this was done on a national basis made, I think, people feel good but accomplished nothing. Bush did more with the appointment of Rice and Powell than the Demos did in 30 years. But because he wouldn't agree with the far Left that the country is responsible for all wrongs, he received no credit for providing an international stage where it could be demonstrated that intelligence, talent and hard work has nothing do with race.

Hussein, unlike Clintoin, does have an ideology. Read his history, what slim amount is available, and we see a man who found his way to Marxism. How much he will be able to harm the country is yet to be seen, but you can count on a hellish fight to:

1. Bring the (un)Fairness Doctrine back.

2. Censor the Internet.

3. Pass criminal laws to punish "racism" comments.

If they accomplish anyone of those the country is in trouble. Pass all three and the country is gone.

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

And while H clearly owes the white voters for moving past racism, I don't think he feels he owes them anything, and perhaps people shouldn't be "owed" for doing the right thing. But I believe there was a significant amount of reverse bias in the votes of many whites on the Left.

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

Hussein is a complex person, perhaps the most complex to be elected President since Nixon. And like Nixon I think he harbors bitterness.

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

Bitterness against whites because he feels whites were the reason his father abandoned him. I mean he has no criticism for him leaving. More bitterness against whites because he feels that they gave him things he deserved, but still they demanded something in return. Note that he has never belonged to or served anything that was not useful to him in a personal sense.

So, we'll see. The market has a fever this morning. In the coming months we will know if it is a case of the sniffles or cancer.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
