- The Nobel Prize Insult
Can anyone imagine a bizarre situation when a Nobel Laureate in Physics praises alchemy in his speech? Or a Laureate in Literature praises ignorance? Obama took the Nobel Peace Prize given to him in advance ( could not resist, like a baby with the candy) and praised war(!) in his speech. The guy pretended to be totally clueless which he, as we already had noticed, does exceptionally well.
- The Acorn Debacle
That was a classic Obama. Acorn was a community- based organization which served poor and disenfranchised, especially blacks and Latinos. It helped Obama a lot on his path to Presidency by doing exactly the work of his- community organizing. For that they were pushed under the bus by their Dear Leader.
The dirty provocation of the right- wingers against Acorn, the setup so obvious that it was easily discovered and explained was nevertheless hysterically supported by Fox News and the idiots in Congress while Obama" just looked elsewhere. He obviously knew what was going on but had already developed a blind eye. The interesting thing here is that not only he himself spit on his own allies but he skillfully paralyzed any effort which could be exercised to their support by anyone else. This way to paralyze the efforts of others had been also the feature of Obama's character; he apparently not only hates any action of his own but also hates to be associated even indirectly with any action of others unless it is somehow sanctioned or benefits him directly.
You can call it a "reluctant opportunism' or "cowardly selfishness'. In the layman's terms Obama is a person who values his own immediate well- being most of all. The Acorn case demonstrated that perfectly; he just cringed from the perspective that someone on TV would put his face on the same screen with the face of some filthy-looking colored girl- an everyday Acorn material.
- The Healthcare Shame
If someone would like to kill any effort to install the reasonable Healthcare system in this country, Obama would be his man to hire. The natural order of things dictates that in the country of nearly 310mln people a single-payer state healthcare is a necessity, a paramount societal feature. The single- payer system frees the people from the healthcare bondage- it decouples the citizen from the employer thus maintaining the power of the people. It is an absolute component of any democracy and must be established. If you do not want it though, if you do not want a democracy either you fight it by the only approach possible- take it and turn it into absurdity. Obama did not just betray the public option; his new system effectively treats the US citizens as a commodity for the corporations, as animals that must be maintained, nothing more.
The argument about the pre- existing condition is a sham: it could be easily solved through at least one case in court when the government would support a claim of a patient against an insurance company while performing its own investigation. The whole thing was so Obamite that you weep. Obama made some noises and then just disappeared until the others sort of traded several deals. Then he reappeared to sign the unfortunate Bill and justify it as a positive first step. Again, a smart person pretended to be totally dumb-- he did not even make a slight attempt to explain his actions or lack thereoff. He smiled and made noises and jumped around so that a nickname, An Incredible Jumping President, came to mind.
- Coward- In --Chief
If the reader had reached this point he is up for a treat. Typical for him, Obama wants to fight wars without casualties, kill people without him knowing about it and torture people without hearing their screams. He is a a classic bureaucrat, a man, who does not care much for the result as soon as all the formalities are followed.
Obama loves drones, for instance. Drones kill people indiscriminately, they create a wave of hatred but they visibly develop no American casualties and also maintain an image of an overwhelming force. Obama cancelled all investigations into a torture issue sending a clear message that from that moment he did not want to hear or know anything about those things. He just wanted the people who torture to cover their trails better. Had anyone heard that funny story about him being told(!) that if he only starts digging into the torture pit there could be a coup? Just imagine that- you are a President and someone says to you that if you do this and that- there would be a coup. What would you do? Obviously, arrest that coup messenger on the spot and start the investigation right away. That was all nonsense, though. Obama most likely initialized the " hear nothing, know nothing' himself. All he wanted was somehow to avoid any possible moral decisions. Again, he demonstrated a remarkable disconnecting ability- I dare to say that Obama is the master of indifference- he had developed it into art. BTW, his paralyzing feature served him very well too--he effectively killed the antiwar movement and the Truthers movement. Cindy Sheehan had much less chances with Obama than with Bush; at least the latter cared for something.
- Betrayal of the People
Obama betrayed a lot of people on the way both individually and en masse. He betrayed African people when he did not attend the Durban Conference in Y2009. He betrayed the Arab people when he tore Libya apart. He betrayed Elizabeth Warren and many others of his original staff. But the most shameful betrayal was the one of OWS.
Obama "silenced down' the whole OWS movement- he calmly watched the abuse of the very people who were supposed to be his main supporters. He demonstrated such an unbelievable indifference that even the OWS people themselves were a little scared of that- they just never encountered such a person before. Obama clearly had shown his own face in the OWS period- that is that he does not have any face, that he changes faces like gloves. Instead of supporting and encouraging the new movement he signed the Defense Bill which maliciously and covertly stole the liberties of the US citizens. That was a double betrayal.
Conclusion. What is he afraid of?
The answer seems obvious: he is afraid of the very people he pledges his "love' to. Obama is afraid of the people of the US. It is inconceivable that he was once a community organizer. He is so afraid of the people that this fear fills the void around him. Fear is seen in his everyday behavior, his ups and downs, his lows and highs. Every time you see him it is as if he wants to run away. He seems to be extremely anxious and very much preoccupied with something. Cowardice is a full-time job and it does not pay. Come to think of it-fear has become an atmosphere and thus cowardice had become a feature paramount for a person who somehow wants to succeed in the current US politics. No matter who will be the President- elect in the Y2012, that person will have Cowardice as his/her middle name.
