Obama the User

Yesterday I wrote about bullies at work, and Democrat party bullies... a truly distasteful bunch.

Today, it's Users and specifically, Obama the User.

Waking up one day and realizing that you've been used by someone else is a disheartening feeling, even if it was only mild using. But being used is still being used, to any degree.

What will America do collectively when the Obama followers realized they've been royally used? I mean the biggest use of all uses. It's bad enough when someone uses you to get to someone else - a female friend used our friendship once to get to a guy friend I worked with. Very distasteful. We are no longer friends.

Famous people get used all of the time for their rock star status and access to star treatment and riches. Groupies are users. People who can't make it on their own or are just too lazy to lift a finger are users. Unfortunately, if they put the energy into succeeding instead of scheming and scamming, they might be something.

Obama is using the people of America to grab the brass ring. He has no plans to follow up on any of his promises - he's just another narcissist who craves the public spotlight so badly, he'll say and do anything to occupy the greatest office in America. He's using his faithful flock. He cares more for the people he rubs shoulders with than for any of the regular people in middle America he's scamming.

Obama is an elite. He values Europeans more than Americans. He apologizes for America and Americans wherever he goes, the way yur mom apologizes for the weird kid in your family. He blames the American people - the taxpaying American people - for what he perceives as American unpopularity around the world. He asks that Americans make more sacrifices - sacrifices that he is unwilling to make himself; driving an ugly tiny hybrid mini car, volunteering instead of taking a well-paying job, giving to charities, cutting back on our personal energy use in our homes, reduce your carbon footprint, do more with less - is Obama willing to do any of the things he's demanding that middle-America do? No. he lives in a big, beautiful home (that a criminal helped him lowball purchase), in the most beautiful part of Chicago, sends his kids to private schools and summer camps and music lessons, his wife accepted a very high paying job the moment he was elected Illinoois Senator, he doesn't volunteer his time or money to charities nor does his wife, they both went to Ivy League schools as part of affirmative action - (neither was a stellar enough student to have earned admittance), they benefitted from student loans and grants and now whine about having to pay them back, they both are attractive, well coifed and fit, they have beautitul orthodontic teeth, and beautiful clothing.

What's to hate about the country that made all of this possible? Nothing unless you are a horrific snob and feel that you are better than or embarassed by people who go to public schools, or to the University of North Dakota or Oregon State, or work on your own farm, or own your own small manufacturing business, or waitress, or drive a cab or work at an airport. Michelle and Barrack Obama think that they are the only people, together with other elites, who should be able to make $500,000 a year, travel to Europe and stay in Villas, rub shoulders with Tony Kennedy in France, and attend think tanks. And the American taxpayers should pay for all of it.

The snobbery of the Democrat Elites is telling: it tells a tale of people who can afford to be socialists because they want to rise to power on the heavily taxed backs of the waitresses, farmers and business owners in America. They are selling their souls by using their faithful followers to gain the ultimate power - leader (and co-leader) of the free world. What users.

But who is more pathetic? The users or those who are willingly being used?

Well said. He is indeed a narcissist. Geraldine Ferraro was absolutely right. If he were not breaking new ground just by being a black candidate, nobody would take Obama seriously. People have been hoodwinked into giving Obama credibility. The media have suppressed the facts and Bush, by his total ineptitude and lying, has so infuriated the American people that they are now willing to make another mistake in the name of change.

I think the whole "ugly American" thing is a misplaced and dis-placed part of the cognitive dissonance that Elites constantly hear as some kind of hyper adolescent self-conscious background drumbeat.
The real *ugly,* both in History and in Foreign Policy have been the errors of embarrassment that killed. The times when we tried so hard to be "cool" with the Euro-School that we did lapse and let-go, letting Vietnam and South Asia slide into PolPot's communist murder and chaos. Jimmy Carter's whole reign of utter embarrassing uselessness.
Obama's all about being hip with the Foreign Exchange Students, the bitchin'-hot French chick who smokes non-filters, the tall lanky German soccer-dude, the sultry gal from Barcelona -- but hip is just an empty posture from which snarky and pseudo-intellectual epithets are hurled, it's quicksand. It's nothing but vapor.
