As a community organizer he just started things, turn them into chaos, never had to control nor stop them.....    irresponsibility has been his calling card.

President Obama has set in motion forces that he can't handle.

Neil Snyder

Barack  Obama is a terrible president. That's obvious to everyone who isn't chronically  ignorant or incurably liberal.  By "liberal" I don't mean the classic  definition of the word which has to do with being open-minded and objective. I  mean the modern version of liberal: self-centered, emotional, illogical, and  void of reason. Unfortunately, in 2012 ignoramuses and liberals represented the  majority of those who voted. I'm not worried about offending them with my harsh  words. My very existence offends them, and so does yours if you don't buy into  their worldview.

From  economic policy to energy policy to environmental policy to foreign affairs to  national security to border security to you name it, the president failed the  test, but we re-elected him anyway. Obama's misadventures in the Oval Office are  becoming the stuff of legend. Benghazi and Fast and Furious are two of his more  high profile blunders, but they aren't the only ones. If George W. Bush had  committed just one of those offenses, the mainstream media would have demanded  his head on a platter, but they gave Obama a free pass. The nation as a whole  became complicit in the president's shenanigans because we didn't demand that he  be held accountable.

President  Obama has done one thing superbly well: he has demonstrated skill par excellence  on a national scale as a community organizer. He is second to none when it comes  to inciting, agitating, race baiting, stoking fears, and motivating the masses.  If you discount voter fraud, more than anything else, those skills got him  re-elected. But like a snowball gathering momentum as it rolls down a hill, the  forces that he has unleashed will be impossible to stop without pain and  suffering.

For  example, Occupy Wall Street's demands for social justice dovetailed perfectly with the president's fairness campaign.  Was that coincidence or was it by design?  The answer should be obvious,  but whatever the case may be, the OWS crowd eventually ran amuck in cities  across the fruited plain until government officials finally took action to shut  them down.

That's  the way it is with unruly mobs. Once agitators get them started, you never know  what will happen. But we do know this: President Obama is their champion, and  they are still among us waiting in the wings for another opportunity to vent  their frustrations. Will the next version of OWS be more malevolent than the  first? Only time will tell, but I wouldn't rule it out.

OWS  types aren't alone. In the United States today, large and growing numbers of  people believe that their mere existence is their contribution to society. They  think that those of us who have worked hard all of our lives owe them a living, and not just a living, but a very good  living.  The takers among us are easy pickings for a man with exceptional  community organizing skills, and as I said, the forces that the president has  unleashed will prove to be impossible to control.  If they explode, there  will be hell to pay.

Common  sense is totally absent in their world. For instance, who would dare to suggest  that the 1% who paid almost 40% of federal income  taxes in 2010 should pay more because it's "fair" even though about 50% of our fellow citizens paid no federal  income tax?  The answer: Barack Obama and his merry band of  malcontents. If George Orwell were alive today, he would be scratching his head  and thinking about a mind-bending plot for another novel.

Takers  have no misgivings about attaching themselves permanently to the government tit,  and they feel no guilt or shame as they scream for more. Obama knows them and  their predilections all too well, and he takes advantage of every opportunity to  stoke the fires that burn within them.  The president's mother and his  grandparents should have taught him the basics -- things like if you play with  matches, you will get burned -- because the fire that he's igniting can easily  turn into an inferno.  If it does, all of us will pay a very high  price.

In  due course, simple mathematics will dictate that we can't afford to keep able  bodied men and women on the dole. Our current debt and deficit situation is so  dire that something has got to give.  Judging by a recent Gallup poll, most Americans agree with me, but metaphorically  speaking, it may take a swift kick in a sensitive area to wake up our elected  officials in Washington. Be that as it may, the day is rapidly approaching when  no one can ignore our fiscal quagmire because the combination of Medicare, Social  Security, and defense spending plus interest on the debt and paying  freeloaders threatens to sink this nation.

Reneging  on our national debt is out of the question since global pandemonium would  ensue.  Obamacare may help to reduce healthcare costs, but when evidence  mounts that those "death panels" that we have heard so much about are real and  that we are saving money by medicating patients and allowing them to pass away  peacefully rather than treating their maladies, people will be hopping mad. Many  of them will take to the streets to vent their anger.  If you think that it  can't happen here, you haven't been paying attention.

Social  Security is a special breed of cat because it involves seniors, a powerful  voting block, and it is regarded as a national promise that we must not break.  Besides, people actually paid in to Social Security as did their employers so  it's an annuity -- and not a very good one at that.  Any politician who  thinks that he can safely tamper with Social Security isn't playing with a full  deck of cards. Even so, we can't solve our debt and deficit problems unless we  make adjustments in Social Security and Medicare. It's the quintessential Catch  22.

Similarly,  we need to cut defense spending without jeopardizing our national security, but  defense reductions translate into job cuts and that creates another set of  problems. No matter what we do, people will not be happy with the outcome, and  many of them will vent their frustration in the voting booth and possibly on the  streets.

This  is the point: a perfect storm is brewing. I think we're heading for a chaotic  and violent period in this country the likes of which no one alive today has  ever witnessed.  If I'm right, conditions will be ideal for criminals to  ply their craft, and President Obama is pushing for gun control at precisely the  wrong moment.

I  believe that what I have described is realistic and unfortunately inevitable,  and that brings me back to my back to the president.  He has set in motion  forces that he can't handle, and all of us are going to suffer the consequences  so get ready for a wild ride.

  • Very good post Tony, Thanks. Mr. Snyder has written an article here that unfortunately for us is all too true and accurate.
    I wish I could claim that president Obama is a complete incompetent fool, but unfortunately he is not. What they have brought about is by design. It has all been predetermined and defined as their way to destroy America. Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, and the rest of the Communist party discovered back in the 1960’s that they would never achieve the overthrow of America by continuing they’re violent protests. So instead, as stated by Van Jones, they opted to discard the violent prose in favor of the more radical but less violent end. Mr. Snyder is right about one thing, Obama has unleashed forces beyond their control, and put in motion a chaotic and violent period in this country (and possibly throughout the world) the likes of which no one alive today has ever witnessed. Van Jones has seriously miscalculated the level and extent of the violence that will come. America will not go peacefully and fade into history quietly.

    May GOD help us all.

  • THANK YOU.   A WONDERFUL POST...... DOES ANYONE ON THIS PAGE HAVE ANY IDEA OF  WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET HIM OUT NOW, GET OUR COUNTRY BACK AND LIVE FREE......I HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION 100X'S GET NO ANSWER, NOT ONE.

    • Only the Congress has the power and authority to impeach the President. The process is started in the House of Representatives. Once the House has impeached the President then it is up to the Senate to basically hold a trial and complete the impeachment and remove him from office. President Clinton was impeached in the House, but then the Senate refused to try him and remove him from office. Now we know that with a democratic controlled Senate even if we could convince the house to impeach Obama the Senate would do the same thing again. We also know at this point that the courts are not going to act. BUT, even at this point we are still not out of options. The States still have some power and they still may have the authority to force an impeachment. Remember the power flows from the people to the states, and then from the states to the federal government. But the people are always still in control and the ultimate power remains in the hands of the people. The question still remains as to how do "We-The-People" remove a corrupt president and the cabinet, and over half of the sitting Congress, and most of the Supreme Court?

      The Constitution does give the people the authority to do just that. Unfortunately it does NOT spell out explicitly how we should proceed to accomplish that. Except for the Second Amendment. And we all know what that will bring. But that also explains why they want to get rid of that damned Second Amendment. And it explains why we must fight to preserve it.

      If anyone out here has a better explaination or a better idea I'd sure like to know about it,,, Soon.

       

    • Only by those of us that care, REVOLUTION is the way. We The People don't have to sit idly by and let this Fraud-In-Chief throw OUR Country in to the depths of hell. Find your Local Militias and join up. Thing go much better in groups. Protection, Patriotism, everything! Have y'all noticed how many times Nat. Geo. and other channels play the History of the Revolution. Do you watch it? Are you listeneing? Those that turned against the British were to pay a huge price if caught. No differnt now!!!

  • our present group of rinos will do nothing to curtail obozo. i really believe they are involved in this up to their necks. as far as social security i had my accountant calculate what i would be getting had i put my s.s. into a private fund. i would have been able to retire at age 60 on 5 thouasnd a month and would not have touched the principal until i was 85. we pay for s.s why is it considered an entitlement? medicare usually cost more than it pays out yearly. last year i paid over 1300 for coverage and they paid out 310.00 i think they made a handsome profit. medicaid is free as is food stamps sec8 c. housing obozophones etc. to put it bluntly we have been screwed by the greedy power hungry politicians and idiot libertards.
