This is the hypothesis: President Obama, taking office while America is drowning in debt, politically polarized and increasingly seen as a pariah nation, publicly dictated to and humiliated by the tiny state of Israel, at every turn, found himself imprisoned by the monstrosity he inherited.
I can think of no other explanation for the inconsistency, for the wasted years and the continuation of the mindless wars. There is no other explanation other than accepting Obama as “more of the same,” seeing in him the shared dark abiding evil of his predecessor, proof that those who have given up on America were right all along.
Does America deserve nothing better than “Bush 2,” a more charming and erudite version of the “great bungler” and his Sith Lord, Darth Cheney? Always heading demands to impeach President Obama is his refusal to order the arrest of his predecessor and order an immediate withdrawal from, what else can we call it, but the “occupied territories” of Iraq and Afghanistan, the meatgrinder that has gutted another American generation.
Americans are holding on by the skin of their teeth, whilst the nation’s capital experiences a period of unprecedented boom, 4 star restaurants, 5 star hotels and gated private estates sprouting like wildflowers in spring. Obama has changed none of this. His task, as clearly assigned by the American people, was to empty the country clubs and bath houses and fill our prisons with the degenerate scum that had been preying on Americans so long.
