Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, & disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate & maintain power and control over others.
Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. instilled in him by his family & mentors.
It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America .
Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul & the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride & love for this country.
Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. Or its people, with deep appreciation & genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings & our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," (no he gets goose bumps when he hears the ''Muslim call to prayer" (his words) or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of " America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals & told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering & then coming to America , penniless, & the opportunities they had for building a business & life for their children.
Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade & eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen and beloved American heroes.
Rather he was separated from all of these experiences & doesn't really understand us & what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country & insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States & the traditions & patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better & grateful & proud that in a short time our country became a leader, & a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten & create fear while demeaning & degrading any American who opposes his policies & actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem & not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics & displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.
Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissension, unrest, & anxiety among the people of America , rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved & ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort & security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, & disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control & mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, & self-assured.
Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, & assert a dictatorial form of government.
Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm & hurt the people & this country.
Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming & trustworthy force.
Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!
Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, & quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, & the epitome of a Demagogue.
