Its impossible to turn on the television these days without being subjected to President Obama pitching one thing or another. In addition to the obsessive 24/7 media coverage of his dog, his wife and his latest sound bite, we also have our President appearing several times a day to lecture the American people on the virtues of being a good father and the virtues of volunteering. (Through a government agency, that is.)
Inquiring minds want to know: While Obama spends the majority of his time doing press conferences, town hall meetings and government service announcements, in between vacations and highly publicized jaunts to foreign countries, who’s actually running the store?
Who is writing the speeches that Obama is so skilled in delivering? Who is formulating the policy Obama is so masterfully promoting? Who is handling the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? Who is handling the economy? And when, exactly, does our President find the time to run the affairs of state when it appears the majority of his time is spent in front of cameras?
Glenn Beck of Fox News is the only journalist asking these questions. And the answers he is finding are alarming. All this week, Beck is investigating the unelected, unaccountable ‘czars’- the ultra-radical individuals Obama has placed in every segment of the federal government.
These czars have carte blanche to implement policy. They have the enforcement power of the federal government but none of the oversight or accountability. And, unreported by the old media, these ‘czars’ are pushing America down a path towards one world government and outright socialism. (Or fascism, since fascism includes a charismatic leader.)
Van Jones – Green Jobs Czar:
Van Jones has admitted a “commitment to Marxist policies”. He is a self-proclaimed revolutionary communist and, in his words, he is dedicated to “mobilizing young people into militant action.” Van Jones is a board member of the Apollo Alliance which helped write the stimulus bill. Now he has the power to determine where $500 million of our tax dollars he ‘smuggled’ into the stimulus bill will go.
John Holdren – Science Czar:
Holdren looks on forced abortions and sterilization as legitimate population control measures. He points out that there is no mention in the Constitution of the right to have any number of children. As in – no right to reproduce, ostensibly without the approval of the federal government.
Cass Sunstein – Regulatory Czar:
This loon actually proposed a ban on hunting and eating meat. Sunstein is in favor of dogs being allowed attorneys. Oh, and he is an ardent believer in taxes, saying, “without taxes there would be no liberty”. He also believes that there is “no liberty without dependency.” Huh?
Ezekiel Emanuel – Health Care Advisor:
Ezekial quantifies life depending on age. In other words, a baby isn’t a baby until it has received two years of care and feeding. Emanuel thinks we need to ration basic, guaranteed care to only those who can fully participate in society. According to him, a teenager has the same value as 17 elderly people. This guy actually believes the ‘the greater good’ should trump the Hippocratic Oath.
Carol Browner – Global Warming Czar:
Carol has her work cut out for her. Her job is to achieve her stated goal of global governance, using the non-crisis of ‘global warming’. And she has the vast power and influence of the EPA to do it.
Mark Lloyd – FCC Diversity Czar:
In Mr. Lloyd’s own words: “It should be clear my focus is not on freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a distraction.” Under the rubric of diversity, this czar proposes to do away with private ownership of media. Oh, and he is also a big fan of left-wing thug dictator, Hugo Chavez.
These are just a few of the guys whispering into Obama’s ears. These radicals are the ones in charge of formulating policy, regulations and dictates. And they all have several things in common. They share our President’s view of America as an evil oppressor, they are all anti-capitalist and they are all determined to sieze power through unconstitutional means. By fiat, instead of by votes.
The policies they are proposing to Obama are all uniformly designed to shift power away from the individual and to the federal government. Despite the fact that our founding fathers voted down (several times) a strong and all powerful federal government. This is the ‘change’ Obama is dedicated to implementing. Scared yet?

I have maintained for a long time that Obama is basically lazy and that he avoids the hard work of the Office by reveling in the public adulation of the Presidency, that is the speeches, the pressers, the interviews, etc. He delegates the drafting and construction of the various bills to Pelosi and Ried which means that all of the lobbyists who weren’t to have a say in his administration, draft the bills to suit their clients. He has no apparent ability to forge a consensus even within his own party and continually scolds and insults those who disagree with him. He sets up strawmen and attacks them thinking that the public will buy into the demonization of his opponents. He refuses to take any responsibility for his errors, blaming everything on the prior administration which in retrospect, got a whole lot right. He is absolutely silent on the “necessary” war in Afghanistan as that situation deteriorates. His Middle Eastern policy (if you can call it a policy) is crumbling and instead of addressing it head on, he hides his head in the sand. He attacks the Republicans as impedimentary when the Democrats control the entire government. He simply cannot accept that the millions of Americans who refuse to buy his Brooklyn Bridge are citizens who are entitled to their opinions and who are sincere. He enlists his union thugs to disrupt legitimate protest. But when it comes down to the hard tasks of formulating policy, of putting together teams to get it done right, of building support for policies that have a chance to get through Congress, he is an abject failure. There is nobody minding the store. The Presidency to this man is flying around in expensive airplanes, living a lavish lifestyle fitting of a national ruler, pontificating on all of us inferiors, and allowing both domestic and foreign policy to descend into chaos. The man is inexperienced, lacks executive maturity and is too lazy to get up to speed. It is a sorry sight indeed.
The word “many” should be “man” toward the end. The edit function is not working.
Thanks

Boy, did that sum it up…a sorry sight indeed…good for you Disturber
What do you expect from someone who has had everything handed to him? He has an Ivy League education thanks to affirmative action, not talent and hard work. Then he became a “community organizer” — using his degree and his gift of gab to impress and manipulate the uneducated. He spent two years in the Senate running for president instead of doing the work of a legislator. He “authored” two books that seem to be actually written/co-written by William Ayers. Obie has always taken the short cuts. There is no work ethic here, only smoke and mirrors. We can only hope he doesn’t burn the whole place down before he’s voted out.
At least we know now that it is not BO that runs the show and BO did not write those books either. Just what has BO done in hos 50 years of existance?

In answer to that question WestRight….how about screw upAmerica so much that we may never be able to get her back to the constitutional republic that she once was. That is quite an accomplishment..and he did it in only 7 months…
It has been commented on, by various reporters, various times, that aides say Obama spends A LOT of time with his Blackberry talking and texting — on the private phone he requested after election. Perhaps, the “person(s)” on the other end of this private line — are the ones “running the show.”
Barack Obama self proclaimed ‘Professional Community Organizer’.
Definition of a Community Organizer … A Rabble Rouser
Definition of a Rabble Rouser …. A leader or speaker who stirs up the passions of the masses … a demagogue.
Any arguements ? 😉

“Who is writing the speeches that Obama is so skilled in delivering?” Sorry, this is one of the myths about this president that make me want to throw things.
I, for one, DO NOT think king hussein is a particularly skilled speaker. He has an okay voice for public speaking, but his cadence and the teleprompter-swivel body language are abhorrent. Most of the time he is talking DOWN to his audience, which I find particularly distasteful in light of his singular lack of real accomplishment. And of course, I can’t listen to the man without becoming enraged over the pure gall of his positions, and without becoming amazed at his lack of understanding of economics and American history.
May God save the Republic.
