More on Barack Obama's Osawatomie Campaign Speech

...because it is worth studying; a perfect window by which one can read this man's intentions.

From the WSJ...

Most press accounts of Barack Obama's speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, Tuesday described it as delivered by the "president of the United States." And indeed the person delivering it analogized himself to Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Clinton. In fact, the Osawatomie speech was not given by the President of the United States. It was given by the leader of the Democratic Party. ...

The Osawatomie speech sounded like what you'd expect to hear in Caracas or Buenos Aires. As in: "The free market has never been a license to take whatever you can from whomever you can." (Applause.) And: "Their philosophy is simple. We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules."

Some will say hearing crude Chavista populism in the Obama speech is an overreaction. That once it's understood the Kansas speech was the work of the party leader, not the president of the United States, it becomes easier to think about it without overreacting to its intense and vivid rhetoric: "Millions of working families in this country . . . are now forced to take their children to food banks for a decent meal." ...

We have in a president's place a figurehead, not a leader. This man-child is not leading America from the perspective of the Executive branch (the Executive has only a third-share of our political power); he's attempting to direct us as would a monarch. He actually believes he's single-handedly running this nation.

Not so much, Barack Hussein Obama. You've a third-share, and a short-term nearing the end. Four years and done, if we are lucky; if we are serious about keeping this Republic intact, not giving in to what's easily seen as neo-Marxism. Our country isn't set up to run on such weak sauce.

If we can't beat this ideology, we can only dig in and oppose every facet of Obama's 'leadership'. Because he is leading only those who are already gone too far-Left to be called Americans anymore, and doesn't care about the rest of us.
