The Golden One and his handpicked apostles (Czars) apparently do not have the Midas touch after all. In fact, the Obama administration seems to be cursed. Everything touched by Obama and his administration turns into fools gold.
The oil has been gushing in the gulf for two months now. I am not blaming Obama for the oil well failure but some of the blame has to go to people like him that create environmental laws that force Oil Companies to drill fifty miles off-shore. Also, the buck stops with Obama for poor government oversight of BP and for failure to come up with a solution to this problem and the bumbling with the clean-up .
We are probably going to see the worst natural disaster in the history of this nation. I guess one might even call it a judgment. Sooner or later all this oil is going to start washing ashore on most of the Gulf and East Coast. From what I have read that oil flow is not going to stop anytime soon. The solution to fix it by drilling more well shafts might not even work or it even could make it worse. Even if it works and works on the very first try the oil will be flowing until at least August. Meanwhile, how do they do the drilling and the oil recovery when hurricanes start entering the gulf? You can be certain that they will. With storms in the gulf the oil slick could be pushed anywhere and efforts to stop the spill will be delayed .
I am no expert, but from what I have read, I think the oil will keep flowing until at least Fall. I do not even want to get into the worse case scenarios and speculations that I have read but if any of them happens I hope you people living on the gulf coast like relocating. Even if the gusher is stopped in August this oil spill is going to destroy a whole lot of jobs on the coast for years.
Does anyone really think that British Petroleum can keep picking up the tab? The twenty billion that they are putting up is a drop in a oil bucket. The costs will be much much higher. Before long BP will probably be forced to declare bankruptcy. Does anyone think that BP going under will not have an economic impact? A whole lot of people own stock in the company both here and abroad. BP is the largest corporation in Great Britain. The British people are not going to have warm fuzzes for America when BP goes under and they lose a large amount of their jobs and tax revenues.
I guess if a company is going to drill into Hell they better have some way to plug the hole. I do not know why they cannot close the hole with explosives but if it is for reasons that were suggested in what I read, the oil could be coming out for years.
Of course the Oil is not the only thing turning into fools gold under Obama’s Midas touch. The Afghanistan war is not going well. The rules of engagement placed on our troops favor the enemy. They cannot even get air support unless they identify the people attacking them. Obama is losing the support of the troops fighting the war. He just fired the general that he put in place because the general said some things that happened to be true. There is no way that our troops are coming out of Afghanistan with any victory by next summer like Obama pledged. If he pulls them out anyway like I expect, the future terrorists actions coming out of Afghanistan and Pakistan will eventually bring about a world war.
The economic recovery is also going to turn into fools gold this fall in spite of the big recovery snow job. I already gave my reasons why on other posts so I will not waste our time here. (Hint: Obama’s economic policies are designed to fail and the massive government debt will crush any economic recovery).
And what is this I hear about Obama planing to give defacto amnesty to illegal aliens with a stroke of his executive order pen? For the sake of this nation I think he had better not try.
Speaking about executive orders, as a taxpayer how do you like paying the costs of providing government benefits for Gary’s fairy? Are you ready for the “don’t ask I will tell” policy in the military? Are you all ready for real Corporal Klinger’s in your outfit? I guess they will get favored treatment and get to live off base like married couples. That will encourage singles living in the barracks to suddenly pair up and lisp like Barney Frank or speak like Oprah…..You go Girl!
How’s the Obama Iran and N. Korea containment diplomacy thing working out for you? I Guess we will not have long to find out where the foreign policy of fools appeasing tyrants takes America and the world .
How about the Obama Supreme Court pick, do you want that radical fool deciding on matters of our Constitution for the next thirty years?
Do you like the idea of Obama bailing out the liberal media, muzzling media opposition and having control over the Internet?
The home loan restructuring is turning into a mountain of fools gold and the program to save foreclosures is failing in spite of the special terms. This bail out of the Fannie and Freddie could cost the taxpayers about one trillion dollars. The price tag so far is $146 billion.
How are all the other government programs working out for you? One might think that after the government spent trillions for a stimulus we might see something in return besides fools gold. Like maybe real jobs.
Of course this is only a bit of what Obama Midas touch has accomplished in 18 months. I am sure you know about ObamaCare and Obama’s goofy golf games. By the way, so far insurance premiums are going up 20 percent on the average this year and the costs of ObamaCare are now projected even by the democrats to be hundreds of billions more than they projected when they passed the ObamaCare bill without reading it.
Looks like we will soon have plenty of tar on the coast. Maybe Arkansas will provide the feathers.
This is all to be expected. Proverbs calls all these democrat types FOOLS. That is that they are. They are not steeped in reality. I also think this man and all the leaders following him are possessed by demonic forces. Make no mistake, this is Satan himself grasping for air knowing that his time is short and he needs to seek to kill and destroy. This is Bible prophecy unraveling quickly. Nothing else can explain it.
Nah. That’s not the way it is. Satan does not know his time is short until after he and his angels are cast out of heaven unto the earth 42 months prior to the return of Jesus (Rev 12:9).
What we really have today in the Far Left is idealists looking for human Global governance and collectivism to solve all of the world’s problems and prove that mankind is just misguided and inherently good with no need of a Savior. Sure, they are under demonic influences and some are even possessed but lets keep things in proper perspective.
I believe God’s perfect plan is in action. And I will not let my heart be troubled. All of that oil rushing out of the Earth just makes me shake my head. But my Holy God is going to assure me of eternal life.
If Satan knows the Bible inside and out, how could he not know his time is short? Sorry, I haven’t read the entire Bible cover to cover yet, BUT I am in the progress of doing so…
If he understood the scriptures he never would have crucified the Lord of Glory (1Cor 2:8).
Satan sees himself as at least equal with Jehovah and thinks that the Father will side with him against any human. He probably does not acknowledge that the scriptures inspired by Jehovah are God’s final authority and he certainly does not accept that Jesus, a man, was and is almighty God.
Remember Satan still accuses us before God day and night (Rev 12:10). He does that because he is self righteous and he expects God to side with Him against all mankind. He does not understand that the Lamb was given by Father God to destroy his own evil works.
Even after he is cast out of Heaven by Michael and his angels he dares to oppose the coming of Jesus/Jehovah to earth.
Here’s something Obama did that says a great deal about him:
First: President Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in several ways during his visit to Washington this week. The White House denied Netanyahu the red carpet treatment generally afforded to visiting heads of state. The Israeli prime minister and Obama didn’t pose for photos together, and Netanyahu was excluded from dinner with the president Tuesday night. When Netanyahu wouldn’t agree to concessions, Obama left a meeting with him, though he invited Netanyahu to stay at the White House, talk to Obama advisers and “let me know if there is anything new,” a U.S. congressman who spoke to Netanyahu, told The Times of London.
Then: President Obama Takes Russian President Medvedev Out to Ray’s Hell Burger
hmmmmm, why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel, Mr. President.
Lisa,
I believe what you said about Netanyahu happened a number of months ago but it happened. I think Netanyahu is scheduled to come to the White house again around July 6th. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
The alarmists treat oil (and coal and “fossils”) as if it was evil; Oil / coal / fossil-fuel is organic — it’s the product of the flood, noting that pre-flood conditions were pretty much rain forest throughout, and there was relatively enormous carbon in the atmosphere; I’ve been doing a fair amount of study on creationism and there are numerous factual publications that refute global warming as what it really is: an extension of evolution; As Dr. Dino would say: evolution (and global warming thereof) is the “dumbest and most dangerous religion”; Frankly, this atmosphere can use just about all the carbon it can get; I forget the exact numbers off the cuff, but if the atmosphere were to drop below, say, 220 PPM (parts per million), all plant life would cease to exist; It’s at 380 ish now and most experts agree even levels at 500 would be beneficial to plant life (and the rest of us as an extension); In any case, nothing we can do collectively or even drastically will alter CO2 levels; Alarm-ism over a rise (or fall, but falling is never publicized by the leftists) of barely 2 ppm gets all the publicity and is totally baseless if not irrelevant;
BTW – don’t believe anything you read on wikopedia — wikopedia is a leftist porn site;
To make a long story short, I think fossils should be put in proper perspective, particularly when compared to the very real possibilities of things like EMPs and germ based terrorist attacks, or, in my case, taking precautions for potential hurricanes;
And then there’s the culture of demons and Obamas, for which judgment is coming;
I agree. I have written many posts against the global warming religion. At best those pushing the agenda do it through blind foolishness or for greed and at worst there are Globalists using it to try to gain total Global governance over everyone on this planet.
So, Don, satan really is that crazy to think that God is going to agree with him? Wow! In that case, I think Barry Obama is on satan’s wavelength. God is in control of this oil thing, we are all just watching HIS mighty hands moving the chess pieces around. I’m praying for all those innocent people who are suffering from this. Praying for their salvation and a renewed mind to understand that their “way of life on the gulf coast” isn’t all there is. They need to consider Eternity.
I think Satan asked permission to oil a nation stuck on itself and Obama. 😯
Excellent summary of the “hope and change” that Obama has brought us. I find it incredible that his poll numbers are still as high as they are. Don, what is your opinion as to what Obama’s motives are for the agenda that he is implementing? Is he doing all these radical things because he is so blinkered by ideology that he actually believes his agenda will be good for the country? Is it simply that he is inexperienced and incompetent, rendering him incapable of comprehending the damage he is doing? Does he hate America, desiring to collapse the existing system in order to remake America in his own image, by implementing a new far-left, collectivist, globalist, totalitarian state — Cloward and Piven style? (I can’t think of any other way to explain his economic policies, which are certain to doom us to a hyperinflationary currency collapse.) Is he power hungry, trying to make things so chaotic that he can install himself as de facto dictator, “for our own safety?” Or is he demon possessed (I don’t mean to imply that he is the antichrist, because I find that unlikely)? I’ve been trying to get a handle on this man for over a year, unsuccessfully. I have to admit, I have been unable to shake the gut-level feeling that there is something evil about him, or at least horribly twisted — something I did not experience with, say, Bill Clinton, who I believe is merely a flawed but well-intentioned man.
Good questions Nick,
I read an article yesterday that makes it fairly clear why his poll numbers stay about the same no matter how much damage Obama does to this nation. According to the article about 1/3 of Americans are already hard core wards of the state. They want the State to increasingly run everything and take from those with more money so they get increased government checks and benefits. I think that 1/3rd figure is accurate.
Then there is another 15 percent or so that just watch sports or Oprah type shows all day or they are lost in perversion and hedonism. These people will never have a clue about who to vote for, if they vote at all. Many just follow the talking heads or vote a party because it is their family tradition. Others vote their skin color or what their union bosses endorse (That is why Obama is for the Unions all socialists love unions). There is simply no reason that Obama should have got 97 percent of the black vote in America but he did. People voted skin color over Christian values.
So almost half the people in this nation are going to vote for the black, democrat, union, amnesty President, even if Obama turns America into Cuba. Now you also understand why he wants to get about five percent more votes through general amnesty for illegals. It is also why he wants to make Puerto Rico the 51 State. Not to even mention the vote fraud that he knows will come from Far Left outfits like ACORN. In Addition, ObamaCare will also start kicking up the number of dependents. It is no accident that those under 26 get a free lunch in this election year. Then there is also the expanded number of government employees that will vote for him to keep their jobs. Obama and the Democrats think if they can get this number up over fifty percent they will be unbeatable for decades to come no matter who the Republicans put up and they are correct.
If over 50 percent of the people are living off the other fifty percent the tyranny of the majority can rob the minority for all they are worth. This is basically the way all socialists that came to power retained their power where they also had voting rights. Obama is using a socialist playbook that has worked in several nations. Anyone who thinks the Far Right is going to just take back America without a bloody fight is not understanding the demographics. Sure Conservatives are still the majority in America but a third of them are just plain apathetic. They also break into factions that split the vote assuring that the Democrats win. If even 5 percent of the Conservatives and tea party votes goes to a third party Democrats will win.
Your second question is about Obama? Is he a bungling inexperienced empty suit or is he well taught and going by some socialist play book. Obama obviously does not have the necessary qualifications to be in such a position he has no resume. He was put there by power brokers in high places. But don’t be deceived Obama knows exactly the type of people he needs to help him bring the socialist change that they want in America. That is why he has dozens of radical Czars around him all working toward the same end and all against the values of traditional Americans in fly-over land.
Obama is a victim of child abuse and was brought up by atheists and Marxists and Islamics. He got lost in drugs for awhile. So Obama does not identify with normal mainstream Americans. He went to Columbia and was indoctrinated with Cloward and Piven. Someone must of seen some potential in him and they pulled strings and got him into Harvard. After that he worked the seedy side of Chicago and started rubbing elbows with Far Left radicals, the Chicago machine, and leaders of demonic inner city religions like the black Muslims and Black Liberation Thelogy. The fact that he could sit in a Church under a flaming racist and communist for twenty years without blinking an eye until it might cost him the election says wonders about the inbred racism and radical religious beliefs of the man. Religion to Obama is just something used to network and gain power. From what we see since he has been in the White House Obama does not practice religion except when it becomes a Presidential requirement.
Obama is a creation of his unfortunate upbringing but most tyrants are. Some people can rise above what happened to them but some become absorbed by the evils and become part of it. Obama in my opinion is the later.
With that said, let me answer your questions more specifically.
He does not know exactly how to accomplish anything but he has many advisers all using events as a means to an end.
He hates the America we know, he wants an America where government runs the people instead of the people running the government.
He believes any real free enterprise system will not work it needs to be controlled by government. He is not against free enterprise he just wants total government control over everything. In other words he wants Fascism.
No. I do not think he is purposely trying to collapse the system but I think he knows the system must collapse and as it collapses government will step in and regulate everything. No good crises will go to waste with Obama and his henchmen. Just as right now he is trying to bring in a carbon tax on the back of the oil spill.
I do not know if he really thinks a lot about the future. I think he knows he will serve one or two terms unless somehow he can change the Constitution to allow him to serve longer but I do not think he is just going to declare himself dictator. He would lose the military. There would be a coup. I think he might see himself as Secretary General of the UN a decade down the line to work to bring in global government. Obama is much more popular in the world than he is in this nation. Even if he is voted out of office in the next term he probably will be a shoe in for Security General.
Any economic policy Obama or the world takes is going to lead to economic collapse but I do not think the fear of economic collapse is the main motivator for the decisions of world leaders including Obama. The main concern is how can they bring in collectivism and global governance without causing massive riots in their nations. These elite are not worried about living standards in the West they are worried about a revolution if they try to bring in their idealist utopia through wealth redistribution too quickly. When you see difference among the leaders it is not about the end goal it is how far to push today to get there without causing panic or revolution. There are powerful power brokers behind Obama and others and they have more influence than their puppet spokesmen that continually change. I am not talking about Illuminati. I am talking about wealthy and influential globalists that see a global government as the only hope for the world.
Does Obama want to be dictator? Perhaps in the order of a Chavez but he also knows the limitations under our system.
Is Obama demon possessed? Many abused children and people who used Cocaine have received unclean spirits. I am sure we will find out if things turn against him. If he has demons they will destroy him when he is no longer useful to them.
Anyway, that’s my take on Obama, for what it is worth.
All that focus on Obama…. He can’t even speak to 6th graders without reading a Teleprompter. Other than Satan, what humans are controlling him because it’s obvious he couldn’t even pee without permission from Axelrod or whoever…??
George HW Bush is big into one world government, no? And obviously Soros, Rothschilds, etc…
Just about all world leaders and the super rich are for global government. Those who say the world is controlled by about 3000 elitists are not wrong and that is no Illuminati conspiracy theory.
Of course the big obstacle to world government has been the United States with its Constitution of God given personal freedoms. So how do they reign America in? By using their money and influence to putting people with like minds into positions of power and influence.
That is why there will be no change in America away from globalist elitist controlled collectivism unless it truly arises from a grass roots revolution. For that to even happen people would need to turn on God in their own lives and then they would need to turn off the bad influences coming from their TV’s their school teachers and many religious leaders. They would need to do away with a political system where leaders that raise the most money are elected and replace it with representation by those that earn our merit and our trust through outstanding accomplishments.
Don,
I really believe the oil disaster is indeed a judgment. Never has a nation so turned against the Christian God as have we. Homosexuality, lasciviousness, abortion, our position on Israel–we are in for some horrible times.
