Barack Obama is Hugo Chavez on steroids
By JR Dieckmann
"After 12 years in power and $960 billion in oil earnings, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is down to stealing private swimming pools to bring the good life to Venezuela's "poor." It's a new milestone on his road to ruin. Acting like Robert Mugabe on cocaine, Venezuela's dictator went on a shopping spree over the weekend, confiscating one farm and industry after another." — Investors.com
This story didn't appear in the Venezuela media or press because Chavez also controls the media. How long will it take Obama to catch up with his roll model to the south? Not long at the rate he is going.
In years past, we have seen ACORN, SEIU, and other socialist/communist organizations engaging in street protests against the government on a regular basis. Today we see these same groups attacking, protesting, and demonstrating against the American people, and in support of Obozo's oppressive government. That should tell you something.
They are flooding into Arizona from neighboring states to protest in support of illegal aliens, and against the lawful enforcement of immigration laws that have the support of the vast majority of the American people. We don't need immigration reform, we need immigration enforcement. But then if we simply enforce the existing laws, there would be no avenue to amnesty and voter registration of foreigners who don't even speak our language.
Yes, Bonehead now has his own civilian army to carry out his street thuggery with fear tactics and intimidation, as they did at the home of Bank of America executive, Gregory Baer. Are we to believe that these radical leftists now running the government and their "Gestapo" street gangs actually represent the American people?
As sure as southern Border States have been invaded by Mexicans, our government has been invaded by aliens of a different nature who march to a different drum. These Marxist Progressives are now well on their way to transforming America into a socialists' utopia that cannot endure. When you have more people in the cart than pulling it, the wheels fall off. Our cart is now about to stall under the weight of government and government dependence.
The financial regulatory bill gives the White House unlimited power to seize and take over any financial institution, corporation, or business, and grants powers to the regime to track your credit card activity. Liberal justice David Souter has already given government the right to seize and take over private land under Eminent Domain as per the Kelo decision, and many other land grabs since.
Now Bonehead intends to grab 13 million acres of land from Montana to New Mexico and declare it a national monument. Did I mention that there is a lot of oil under that land that will never be exploited under this administration? In the Water Resources Act, the word "navigable" has been removed from "Navigable Waters," giving the federal government rights of ownership over all U.S. waters, public and private. If you have a stream or natural pond in your "back 40," it now belongs to the government.
Banks were seized with the Stimulus Bill. The census was taken from the Labor Dept. and seized by the regime, as was most of American auto manufacturing. The healthcare industry will be taken over by the Healthcare bill. The energy industry is about to be controlled by the regime under the Cap & Trade bill, and our immigration laws are about to be thrown out and replaced with amnesty as soon as Congress can get to it.
With little hope of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, Bonehead has turned to his Federal Trade Commission Chairman, Jon Leibowitz, to regulate the media. It is being proposed that all home electronics be taxed at 5% to subsidize the failing Jurassic, dead tree media, NPR, and other left wing news outlets. The offering of tax exemptions to failing news organizations, establishing an AmeriCorps for reporters and creating a national fund for local news organizations has been proposed, which will end the First Amendment separation of press and state. (The same Amendment sighted in arguments for "separation of church and state.") Hello Pravda, goodbye free press — you will now print what you're told.
Bonehead treats himself like royalty, so did Sadam Hussein. He feasts on $100 a pound steaks and lobster while jetting around the country to party; play golf; campaign for his leftist cronies and causes; give speeches in front of his favorite leftist organizations and unions; attend fund raising dinners; spew Marxist propaganda at commencement ceremonies; celebrate Mexican and Muslim holidays; and pretty much just enjoys his emperorship at taxpayers' expense. Meanwhile, who is doing the real job of the president? It's not him.
He always has prepared answers to his manufactured crises that usually involve taking over more of the private sector economy. But when it comes to a real crisis, he has no answers and is nowhere to be found. It's not as easy to respond to a real crisis as it is to one you have created for the purpose of offering a scripted solution from your Saul Alinsky playbook.
Bonehead has been missing in action during the gulf oil crisis, and negligently failed to initiate the existing emergency plans to deal with an oil spill in the gulf — yet he says he has been there from day one. Maybe he has been looking for the gulf in Chicago or San Francisco or any one of the dozen other places he has been since the BP rig blew up. I wonder of OJ is still looking for the "real killer."
When public pressure and Arizona governor, Jan Brewer, finally forced him to sit still for a few minutes in the White House, he was unable to give her a single answer to her questions about federal help with the border. He did make it clear to Brewer that he disagreed with Arizona's new immigration laws, saying that it is the responsibility of the federal government to do that.
But the federal government isn't doing it, or much of anything else that is required of it by the Constitution. Brewer couldn't even get an answer to when or how many National Guard troops would be sent to the border or how much financial aid the state would get for the National Guard to do the job that the feds aren't doing. Bonehead told Brewer that he would "send some staff members to Arizona in a couple of weeks to meet with her staff members."
That's kind of the same response he gave to the people in the gulf region, and he still hasn't responded to the growing crisis between Israel and the supporters of Hamas, or the Korean ship sinking. It's no wonder that he didn't want to meet with Brewer. Bonehead should let his Baghdad Bob Gibbs field the questions. He can always use the fallback answer, "I'll look into it." That answer doesn't work for someone who is supposed to be the president.
There is a simple reason that Bonehead has no answers. They are not already scripted into his teleprompter. He has to appoint a committee of his Marxist advisors to study the problem and figure out a way to dispose of the distractions that are taking him away from his party life and his dictates to Congress on transforming America into a socialist utopian illusion.
The answers would be obvious to most Americans but those answers do not further the advance of the Progressive socialist plan for America. Bonehead cannot talk about that, so he has to find language and double-talk to make it sound as if he is saying one thing while doing just the opposite. He thinks we don't notice. The liberal media says this guy is smart and highly intelligent. They seem to think that it is Bonehead who is writing those words that appear on the teleprompter. Oh, what fools they are.
America is now under the clenched fist of global socialists known as Progressives, or the Progressive movement — funded by George Soros and other rich, socialist, international bankers including those in the IMF; World Bank; United Nations; our own Federal Reserve; and Treasury Department.
Their new America will be founded, not on the values of Washington, Madison, and Jefferson, but on the writings of Lenin, Marx, Alinsky, and Chomsky. The greedy, out of control labor unions — that have all but destroyed American manufacturing — will reign supreme in the new America. Profits will be confiscated to pay for the high costs of social welfare. Those who object will be accused of sedition and jailed as domestic terrorists.
So what is the difference between Venezuela's communist dictator, Hugo Chavez and the community agitator in the White House? While Chavez is imposing his own will and authority upon the people of Venezuela, Obozo is simply the front man for the socialist, anti-American cabal of Progressives now in charge of America.
