Hold it. Put down the pitchfork.
Did I get your attention?
This isn’t an error or an optical illusion.
I am not delusional.
Let me repeat: America needs Barack Obama.
First, some background. I am a hardcore conservative. Hannity is DVR’d. Mark Levin’s bestseller is on my coffee table. Ainsley Earhardt rocks. The Constitution is sacred. My Bible is my armor. I fight for the unborn and I support the traditional family.
Yep, I’m part of the mob. According to the Democrats, I’m un-American and my tactics resemble Hezbollah and Hamas.
Barack Obama’s empty rhetoric did not impress me. I’ve blogged with a purpose. Civility, entwined with an undying passion, has been broken on several occasions with individuals who fell in love with Barack the Candidate; not Barack the Politician. My family structure suffered as I spent countless hours researching the inner workings of Mr. Obama. I threw out red flag, after red flag, after red flag. America’s future, in my eyes, was already sold. Helplessly, I watched as Obama pulled the wool over the American electorate’s eyes.
I knew him better than Michelle.
However, I’ve had a change of heart. I think we, as Americans, need Barack Obama. I mean he is the second coming of Jimmy Carter, right? I hope this Administration keeps spending trillions of dollars. I like money. Doesn’t everyone? The deficit is just a number. In fact, we could use another stimulus package. I bet we could use another Frisbee golf course around here somewhere. Oh, and taxes are pretty cool, too. I’ll have some more of what he is having, please.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il are two, completely sane guys that got caught in a bad situation. I could trust them. It would be great to sit down with those two, Hugo Chavez, and Joe “I’m as cool as the other side of the pillow” Biden and share a few brews on the White House lawn. Imagine the photo possibilities. Maybe it would be a good thing to have a few nukes in the most unstable region of the world. Maybe it would be some sort of reverse psychology. Barack will bring them around. He’s just playing hard to get. This whole “America is an international laughing stock” is just a thing of the past. Maybe this End of Times theology is just a phase that we can talk through. Just ask Israel.
Diversity could be a great alternative. Racist, communist czars could be the missing piece to improving democracy. Lying isn’t a sin if it’s made up information. We call that fiction. Unemployment could be worse. We could be at a 26 year high. Oh…wait. Oh, and health care? Do not even get me started. Who do these town hall people think they are? Standing up and speaking his/her mind. What are they trying to use? The First Amendment? Pssshh. Waste of space. For the last time, government ownership IS the best option available. Look at education, welfare, social security, cash for clunkers, medicare, medicaid, and our tax system. Stellar.
Are you starting to get it? Look at what could be. Barack Obama needs America and America needs Barack Obama. He will lead us down a path of suffering, humiliation, and self-destruction. Liberal ideas, and those who promote them, will crash and burn like never before. It will be the death of the Statist agenda. America will need to be revived from the brink.
That’s where you and I come in. America will see those red flags. We’ll hug and embrace those who “overlooked” Barack the Politician for Barack the Candidate. It will be glorious.
America will be back. We are just taking a four year break. It’s like an experimental drug treatment.
We’ll know all the side effects.

Thank you, Ryan.
President Obama is a superb communicator. He leaves few citizens in doubt that his goal is bigger Federal Government involvement in our lives. He lacks the Clinton ability to fudge and waffle.
As citizens hear the endless 24/7 news bleat of Obamafication, they weary and sicken of the sound of that noxious voice.
My wife, hearing the sound, hits the OFF button on the radio.
Citizens were not listening when those of us who follow politics warned of Obama’s unquestioned liberalism. I was personally denounced as a fear-monger and hater for objecting to his Satatism.
Citizens are listening now.
Beer tax, cigarette tax, insurance tax, breathing tax, car tax, electricity tax, gas tax, oil tax, corporate tax, death tax; it’s all about tax and spend.
The Federal Government is going to redistribute wealth. The Federal Government is going to seize all the wealth and give it to Labor Unions and Federal Employees.
Now we know, thanks to President Obama.
Sometimes a spoiled people need to experience the bad, to see the good. I only hope we can salvage what’s left.
Great article, Ryan. If O’Bummer is really the second coming of Jimmy Carter, then our next Ronald Reagan is sure to be just around the corner.
Obama is a deceitful man.
A man that has long been in works, by no other than the likes of Zbigniew Brzenzinksi, the super billionaire members of the Bilderberg group, the elite in power.
End the wars Mr. “Change” Obama, End them and save innocent lives.
Stop severing the elites in power, and stand up for the American people.

I agree with all but the part about North Korea & Iran.
If all Obama was doing was destroying the economy and creating widespread socialism, I would agree we could recover; however, he is enabling two countries led by utter nutjobs to gain WMD. At this rate we’ll be lucky if our country isn’t a smoking hole in the ground by the time the rest of America wakes up.
Thanks for the comments. However, I think Slveryder misunderstood the Iran/Korea section. This was done in a sarcastic tone. My meaning follows your tone.
As a Sept. 11th DC Mall attendee’s sign stated:
” I’m listing the Federal Government as a dependant on my tax return. ”
We should ALL do that !
Hopefully Congress will be cut off at the knees in the 2010 election and that will slow things considerably.
I, too, hope there’s something left to rebuild.
No, I got it and liked it. Sadly, I happen to see a lot of what you call sarcasm as the truth.
As long as we didn’t have a true leftie in the Whitehouse & had only experienced portions of leftist ideology, people were happy to think that ‘maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if liberals ran the world’. Now that we have a real leftist running the show, people are freaking out & I think it’s just what they deserve. It’s the idea of “The theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Hopefully the outcome will be what you forsee.
However, those of us who voted against him don’t deserve to be punished by association.
I liked the clever angle Ryan, but if this health care bill goes through it’s going to create a permanent left that we won’t be able to escape. I truly hope that we’ve waken up in time

To Slveryder,
If you open your eyes wide enough and lend your ears to sources other than CNN or FoxNews, you will see that the US and her allies are the countries that making the whole middle east and the rest of the world “a smoking hole in the ground”. The chaos in the Middle East is is the direct result of people like yourself who have been fooled that we must/should (preemptively) attack other countries because “they hate our freedom” or “they are an eminent threat to the world” or “if we don’t fight them there we will have to fight them here”. Words that our media spews out from the likes of Bush’s WMD lies and now in a new from of Obama’s all deceptive speeches.
Wake up Slveryder. Are Iran and Korea threatening us or is the US who is threatening them. The greed of the elite and the politicians in power is selling the American and global security for price of oil and global dominance.
Please tell me what is it exactly that makes Iran a nutjob? and I beg you not to repeat the lie that M. Ahmadinejad said he “wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map/earth”. He NEVER SAID THAT. What he said was “Much like Communism, the Zionist regime will vanish from the pages of HISTORY” and he gave a solution to the conflict that does not evolve weapon’s or destruction: ” a fair and just referendum for all the poeple”
Now Slveryder, does that mean Iran’s going to nuke Israel… Of COURSE NOT, after all the Palestineans live only a hop away.
And it is exactly my point. It is the media that’s hyped up at least the Iran situation.
Something that Dr. ElBaradei- director of IAEA – reminded the world last week “Iran nuclear situation is HYPED”
Exactly the same people that sold the Iraq war/lies are selling you the Iran and Korea lies.
Wake up before it’s too late.

Yes… Iran… not a danger. They never wish us ill. Well, not since we brazenly stormed their embassy and held Iranian diplomats and citizens hostage at gunpoint for well over a year. Oops, I got that backwards, didn’t I?
And no… those parades with missiles with anti-Israel banners draped over them? Photoshop! They must be.
Besides, we all know they’d never use a nuclear weapon that might harm Palestinians, after all, Iran has welcomed Palestinians to their nation ever since they decided that people from one part of Trans-Jordan must be kept separate from the rest and given their own new nationality. Oh, wait… no… shoved them into camps. My bad. Forget I said anything.
Iran’s a totally responsible nation, freely electing its leaders, treating its citzens with respect, and… um… wait… no, I forgot they tend to fake election results and send religious police around to beat people to death whom they don’t like.
Well, dang… I tried.
AKfortruth,
I thank you for your input. However, your tone is disheartening (and rather condescending) and lacks a HUGE piece of Middle Eastern logic/philosophy/theology.
There are three distinct views when it comes to viewing the Middle East. We have mention two here: overblown rhetoric that feeds our Western minds and hysteria that paints Iran/Korea/Palestine as the axis of evil.
Both are absolutely right. Both are absolutely wrong.
In your response, you failed to mention the most dire cause. Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979 (our first Islamic theocracy since the Ottoman Empire), we have seen a robust growth of and “End of Times” theology that drives much of the Middle Eastern policies. This has never, nor will it, been reported by our media or our own government.
The issue isn’t about the absence of truths; it’s about an unwillingness to see a situation at face-value.
I urge you to read Inside the Revolution by Joel Rosenberg. I think it may change your mind on Middle Eastern political/social thought.
