When you
think you are on a roll, it is amazing how you loosen the tongue and the real
sentiments come out. We need to replay
the tapes of Obama taking credit for the killing of Osama. Heck, we need to play the tapes of his
blaming Bush II for all the woes of the country. if what we do when we accomplish something is
always a communal activity then it only follows that things like wars and housing
bubbles and wall street excesses, heck even the failures of FHLMC (did you know
that an Obama stooge by the name of Rahm Emanuel was on the board of
this outfit before it went bankrupt? Man, these guys have short memories) and FNMA and Solyndra must all be
community organizing type failures too?
Sure,
you can explain away this recent political nonsense as “political nonsense.” Why not?
The press doesn’t much care what he says, or how he says it or even what
it means or even does it mean anything. Why
should they? They gave him a pass four
years ago; three years ago; two years ago and they are doing the same this
year.
Do not
expect the tone or the publicity to change.
Every democrat attack on Romney will be examined and amplified, by the Hollywood
media, and every Romney attack on Obama will be used as brief counter fodder
and given I minute of coverage to 59 minutes of Obama attacks.
This is
America now. This is how carefully the Hollywood
media care about the direction and leadership of the country.
To the
quote above – in case you never had or desired the opportunity to attend an
eastern college, or, for that matter, most any college, the statement in quotes
above is now the accepted truth. We don’t
teach young people about Thomas Edison or Henry Ford or the Wright Brothers or Jonas
Salk (see TheFundamentals March 3, 2011 http://thefundamentalsus.blogspot.com/2011/03/leadership-series-public-servant.html
.) We would get a kick out of the
response of Henry Ford to Obama’s idiotic comment about someone building the
roads. Mr. Obama, the roads did not come
first. Sorry to so inform you. It was
not the roads that built the automobile.
Other way around. What worthwhile
lessons does Harvard teach?
When we
first started writing TheFundamentals we frequently addressed basic economics –
things such as wealth creation and market discipline, supply and demand and
pricing theory. Why? Because no one teaches it anymore. How could Obama possibly know that what he
said is wrong? Did his mommy or daddy
teach him? Harvard? His employer?
He has never worked in a competitive business; never attended a school
that support the concept of market discipline and doesn’t even ponder the
possibility of the need to limit government if you seek competitive businesses
that succeed. His attacks on Romney and
his business career are daily illustrations of his training; his education and
his distorted knowledge base. And he is
now preaching this catechism of his church to a group of people who desperately
want to hear a distorted message. No wonder
the world looks at America, shakes their heads and whispers to each other, “What
fools.”
In Chicago
as elsewhere, government is responsible for two of the most vital and important
responsibilities any government can rightfully lay claim to:
1.
The safety of the law abiding citizen, and
2.
The education of the children (well, not politicians children)
Chicago
politicians and bureaucrats fail on both responsibilities. They failed yesterday, when Obama was part of
it; they fail today when his protégé Emanuel is part of it and they will fail
tomorrow unless and until the people say enough. What do failures do? Lie, distort, bluster and blather. We all know people who are successful only in
their own minds. In Chicago, we call
those people – mayor, alderman, governor, senator and Mr. President.
Is Mitt
Romney the answer? Who knows? At least he understands who to give credit
to.
