On January 10th, Mr. Obama
will make his “farewell address” in
Chicago. Like January 20th—when Donald Trump will
become the 45th
President of the United States—Obama's exit, stage left, cannot
come soon enough. Of course, one can safely assume Mr. Obama will
not stray far from the spotlight. After all, he and his “no
hope” missus have chosen to dwell in D.C. Indeed, the
geography of current events is telling on many levels. For starters,
their lavish mansion is a stone's throw from a mosque. So, given his
Indonesian
childhood, Mr. Obama can daily hear the sound that's prettiest
to him: the Islamic call to prayer. Meanwhile, simultaneously,
remaining a vocal—and visible—critic of Mr. Trump. An unwelcome
thorn in the new president's side.
For aloof Obama, he (and similarly
coddled
Michelle) exists in a Great Gatsby fantasy of the carelessly rich
and famous. Like playboy Gatsby, golfer
Obama has repeatedly ignored glaring facts and distasteful
realities. Why should he accept the true meaning of a Trump
presidency now? It's far easier to pretend this crushing
political repudiation is anything else but that. And who would blame
him? Cocooned for eight years in the beltway bubble, this “pen
and phone emperor” is used to having things his way. He was
foolishly elected twice—despite the worst
record of any U.S. president in the modern era. (No doubt future
historians will shake their heads in universal disbelief at his
reelection, and his inexplicable personal
popularity today.)
So what to Obama that his party, the
Democrats, is a smoking
ruin? So is the country he has grossly
mismanaged! Unfortunately, experience has taught insulated Obama
that results, and consequences, don't matter. Therefore, he knows:
everyone will always give him a pass. In our age, the superficial
symbolism of skin has been a bewitching
potion. In retrospect, the well-meaning, but wrongheaded embrace
of this anti-American ideologue very nearly cost America its soul. A
fascist in politics is the same as a scorpion in nature: both
sting their host to death. Hence, the two-faced
Obama phenomenon is explained.
The ultimate absurdity is Obama's
“triumphant” return to the nation's shameful murder capital.
(That's 2008 and 2012-16: five of the last eight years of his
presidency). This third largest American city—appropriately
nicknamed
Chiraq—remains a war zone (including 762
homicides last year). What other domestic locale has suffered
more under his inept
ministrations? On average, he's only made one
“policy” trip per year. Most visits, like this final one,
are for a political speech. Otherwise, he avoids the subject of
Chicago entirely. Isn't Barack Obama most personally responsible for
the deplorable state of his home city? Ground
zero of glaring problems he did nothing as president to
solve?
Witness Obama's longstanding pattern:
an empty, self-aggrandizing victory lap against a backdrop of obvious
disaster. This circumstance encapsulates Obama's utter lack of
character (as defined by
MLK). Likewise, Chicago's dilapidated state remains a lasting
testament to his blatant failure
as president. Fate, like history, will make its unflattering
judgment. Therefore, all of his lies and face-saving words will come
to naught. Likewise, his “farewell” platitudes and baseless
claims of success are meaningless.
Yet, unlike every former president
before him, Mr. Obama isn't really going anywhere. Does anyone
seriously believe citizen Obama will go quietly into night? Not this
rule breaking, law disregarding, soon-to-be ex-president. Solely for
pettiness and spite, he's tweaked an adversary (read:
Russia) and an ally (read:
Israel) on his way out the door. So much for honoring the
presidential tradition of a smooth transition of power! To come full
circle, this latest underhandedness reminds one of Obama's
bait-and-switch
campaign pledge of “hope and change”. Good riddance to this
snake
oil salesman.
Not that this phony is wise enough to
shut his trap and skulk away. He won't. How does one know this?
Well, Mr. Obama is both a deluded
egotist and a faithful subscriber to anti-American pipe dreams.
And beyond Inauguration Day, he'll rapidly discover that all future
things can't be “transformed” to his unquenchable authoritarian
desire.
